    The Ambassador's Path: From Army Ranger to Appalachian Trail to Community Service
    Feb 19 2026
    “I saw my father do it. So I have a better understanding on how to do it, how to serve, how to lead." - Barry FarmerWhat happens when a decorated US Army veteran walks away from 23 years of service? Barry Farmer didn't slow down—he discovered his true calling. After raising seven children and adopting three more, Barry threw himself into Jacksonville's nonprofit world, joining three boards and becoming a Human Rights Commissioner. But burnout led him to the Appalachian Trail. "When you feel useless, become useful to somebody," a hostel owner told him. That wisdom transformed everything. Barry's parents never preached servant leadership—they lived it. Now he's weaving a community fabric where isolated threads become something stronger together. His message? More than average isn't about salary. It's about heart. Barry Farmer, trail name "Ambassador," is a retired US Army veteran with 23 years of honorable service, including completing Army Ranger School as one of three African Americans in his graduating class.

He completed Leadership Jacksonville Cohort 2024 and served as President of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity's Jacksonville chapter.

    Power With, Not Power Over: Rod Collins' Blueprint for the AI Era
    Feb 5 2026
    What happens when you give 50 people—from CEOs to recent college graduates—equal voice in solving complex business problems? Rod Collins discovered the answer while leading the Blue Cross Blue Shield Federal Employee Program through its greatest five-year growth period in 65 years. "Nobody is smarter than everybody," Rod insists. He shares how staying silent when he thought the group was heading down the wrong path led to breakthrough solutions he never imagined. From eliminating air crashes through cockpit collaboration to preventing AI tyranny, Rod's "power with" approach revolutionized not just business results but how we think about leadership itself. Sometimes chaos first leads to the best order.Rod Collins is an author, songwriter, and former business executive who pioneered collective intelligence leadership during his 33 years at the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association's Federal Employee Program. As Chief Operating Executive, he led the organization through its greatest five-year growth period in its 65-year history, achieving record-breaking financial and operational performance. His book "Nobody Is Smarter Than Everybody: Why Self-Managed Teams Make Better Decisions and Deliver Extraordinary Results" captures his revolutionary approach to power-with leadership.

    What Happens When Life Strips Away Your Identity Three Times
    Jan 29 2026
    What would you discover about yourself if you lost everything you thought defined you…What happens when a 4x4 truck ends your professional running career at 20? Rob Rene found out. Then the pandemic took his corporate identity. Then came stage 3 melanoma. Three devastating transitions. Three chances to give up. Instead, Rob discovered faith isn't about Sunday church—it's daily relationship with God. He researched our broken medical system, learned his cancer's specific mutation, and fought back naturally. Fourteen months later, his tumors have shrunk 50%. "Fighting cancer is about starving it and getting your immune system strong enough to attack." Rob now helps others through Exodus Strong and Biohackingville, merging biblical wisdom with modern science. His message: if you have breath in your lungs, God still has a plan.Rob Rene is a faith-based AI wellness futurist, founder of Exodus Strong and creator of Biohackingville.

Currently battling stage 3 melanoma naturally (tumors down 50% in 14 months), Rob merges biblical wisdom with modern science through his products and community. His work focuses on four pillars: red light therapy, frequency medicine, molecular hydrogen supplementation, and faith.

  • God Loves Us No Matter What: Tom Vozzo on True Healing and Transformation he found at Homeboy Industries

    God Loves Us No Matter What: Tom Vozzo on True Healing and Transformation he found at Homeboy Industries
    Jan 15 2026
    What happens when a $2 billion CEO walks away from corporate success to serve former gang members? Thomas Vozzo faced exactly that choice. After 26 years in the for-profit world, he chose Homeboy Industries over another lucrative CEO role—knowing he was "burning bridges." At Homeboy, Tom discovered profound truths. "God is too busy loving us to judge us," he learned, not intellectually but viscerally, surrounded daily by 500 people healing from complex trauma. He watched former gang members flourish when given 8, 9, 10 chances. The stress was greater, but the joy ran deeper. His journey challenges everything we're taught to value, revealing that authentic success means finding joy through serving others, not chasing titles.Thomas J. Vozzo is an author, speaker, and former Fortune 200 executive who served 26 years in the for-profit world before becoming CEO of Homeboy Industries, the world's largest gang rehabilitation and re-entry organization.

  • Know What You Want, Then Ask For It: Troy Horne on Dreams, Fatherhood, and Following Your Calling

    Know What You Want, Then Ask For It: Troy Horne on Dreams, Fatherhood, and Following Your Calling
    Jan 8 2026

    Are you living the life you want, or the life others expect of you? One father's choice that changed everything.

    Troy Horne went from driving to work in tears—seeing his 2-year-old only an hour a day—to asking for what seemed impossible: a spot on Broadway's Rent that wasn't a tour. Troy's wisdom cuts deep: We all know what we want—it's the first thought that pops up before limiting beliefs take over. His tool for clarity? Walking meditation: turning off the noise and spending days in quiet. "If you don't ask, the answer is always no." Now, Troy's mission is helping people over 40 live their dream and find their greater second half—a powerful guide for anyone navigating midlife transitions.

    Troy Horne is a three-time bestselling author who's sold over 300,000 copies, former Broadway performer in Rent, and NBC's The Sing-Off alum. When his son Moses dreamed of becoming a professional basketball player, Troy developed mental toughness frameworks for young athletes, interviewing icons like Kobe Bryant and Chauncey Billups and co-authoring the bestselling Mental Toughness For Young Athletes series with Moses. His mission is to help people over 40 live their dream and find their greater second half. As a sought-after speaker, author, and father of three, Troy believes greatness is a mindset. Connect with him at troyhorne.com.
