Honored to sit down with Jenn Drummond on my Beliefcast.
Jenn is a world record-setting mountaineer, former CEO, and single mother of seven. After surviving a near-fatal car crash in 2018, she made a life-changing decision: to stop playing it safe and start living with purpose. That choice led her to summit Mt. Everest—and ultimately become the first woman in history to climb the second-highest peak on each of the seven continents, earning a Guinness World Record.
Today, Jenn is a bestselling author of BreakProof, a sought-after speaker, and a high-performance coach to elite leaders and teams. Through her podcast Seek Your Summit and transformational keynotes, she helps others conquer the mental mountains holding them back and achieve what once felt impossible.
Jenn is living proof that you can do anything you set your mind to. We love you Jenn!

Monday Sep 22, 2025
Monday Sep 22, 2025
Meet Mathias John — author, award-winning designer, and soon-to-be certified recovery coach.
His first book, Not Yet Too Far Gone, grew out of his raw journals during active addiction. Co-written with his therapist Ashley Boyd, it became a lifeline of experience, strength, and hope for anyone who feels lost.
As a studio designer, Mathias has built rooms for artists who collectively hold over 60 Grammy Awards. Now based in Nashville, he continues to shape sound with his gift for acoustical and architectural design.
Soon to be a Certified Professional Recovery Coach, Mathias calls it his greatest honor to walk with others on their healing journey.
From journals to design to coaching, Mathias is proof that we can rise from struggle, transform pain into purpose, and help others along the way.

Monday Aug 18, 2025
Dr. Deonne Johnson is the definition of transformation. She has raised four amazing kids on her own, earned her PhD, climbed the corporate ladder, remodeled homes, and even dug trenches in Nepal. But the most powerful thing she has done is trade in a life of titles and checklists for one that’s aligned with her heart.
Today, she’s a coach, speaker, author, and humanitarian helping people especially women navigating big transitions, turn their pain into purpose. Her new guided journal From Tired to Inspired is a beautiful tool for anyone ready to rise.
Deonne reminds us all that growth happens the moment we step outside our comfort zone and choose a life that truly inspires us. You are going to love her story.

"She’s led millions in growth, raised a $34M seed round, and still makes it home for family dinner." 🔥
This week on the Beliefcast, I sit down with Dr. Amy Osmond Cook—a powerhouse CMO, co-founder of Fullcast, and visionary leader transforming how revenue teams plan, perform, and grow.
With a Ph.D. in Communication, 15+ years scaling SaaS companies, and a passion for building systems that work with people (not around them), Amy has helped drive multi-million-dollar growth, led a historic $34M female-led seed round, and championed diversity in tech and women in executive leadership.
But what truly sets Amy apart is her heart. She’s a bridge-builder—between people, performance, and purpose. Whether mentoring women in leadership, hosting her podcast Go-to-Market with Dr. Amy Cook, or balancing life as a wife, mother of five, and adjunct professor—Amy proves that balance is possible and impact is lasting.
This conversation is for anyone ready to lead with intention, navigate change with courage, and build something that truly lasts.
