    E007 - AI Unlocked (The Dream Team) How Real Estate, Technology & Fearless Pivoting Are Changing the Game

    Podcast Title: Tha Motiv8tors Table Podcast Host: Dr. JayR McIntyre (Tha Hood Motiv8tor) Episode Title: E006 - AI Unlocked (The Dream Team) How Real Estate, Technology & Fearless Pivoting Are Changing the Game Summary: Bruno and Stacie of AI Unlocked and the Dream Team One Realty Group join Dr. JayR McIntyre at Tha Motiv8tors Table to break down how artificial intelligence, real estate, branding, and bold career pivots are reshaping modern entrepreneurship. Their word for 2026 is pivot, and they live it. Full time Philadelphia agents who saw the AI wave coming, wrote a book (AI Unlocked Beginner’s Prompts) that sold 600 copies, and turned a hobby into a teaching platform that now runs workshops for everyone from 11 year olds to 84 year olds. Stacie maps her own path from Port Richmond and Temple University through 25 years of legal operations leadership into real estate in 2015. Bruno talks Northeast Philadelphia, computer science at Penn State, a Boost Mobile store, pool halls and bars, and the late career fear of failing the real estate exam in his forties. The Dream Team One was formed when Stacie asked Bruno to get his license and turn their complementary skill sets into one business. Two carpenters make a partnership. A carpenter and a roofer make something stronger. Across the conversation, they unpack the practical side of the AI pivot. How to take the fear out of large language models, why ChatGPT is the easiest entry point for beginners, and why the Sunday recap and the AI Unlocked Academy library are designed to keep their workshop graduates moving forward instead of stalling. They argue your brand is the most powerful residual income there is. Never vacant, never behind on bills, working for you while you sleep. Three tools to run a multi million dollar business: ChatGPT, Canva, and CapCut. A hundred dollars a month in Facebook and Instagram ads. Joining all 50 state referral groups so passive referrals never dry up. JayR closes the loop on his own AI workflow, naming his ChatGPT Renee after his late mother, treating it as a thinking partner rather than a content engine, and cutting his team down once the tools could carry the load. The throughline of the episode is simple. Pivoting is essential. Fear is the only thing in the way. And the best time to make the move is right now. Main Topics: • Why pivoting is essential for growth and 2026 is the year to make the move • How AI can enhance, not replace, real estate professionals and small business owners • Overcoming fear of technology and easing beginners into ChatGPT and the broader toolset • The power of working as a couple in business and pairing complementary skill sets • Building a personal brand that attracts opportunity and works while you sleep • Using social media and referral groups to disrupt traditional marketing • Three tools to run a business - ChatGPT, Canva, and CapCut • AI Unlocked Academy, the second book, and the Sunday recap workshop model Intriguing Quotes: “Your brand is never vacant. The bills are never behind. It’s there every day.” “Two carpenters can make a wonderful partnership. But a carpenter and a roofer is going to make an even better collaboration.” “Turn that AI curiosity into AI confidence.” “There is no get rich quick schemes at all. But there is get rich a little bit easier today.” “You either evolve — or get left behind.” Key Moments: [00:00:59] - 7 Eagle Academy sponsor pre-roll [00:02:24] - JayR welcomes Bruno and Stacie of AI Unlocked and the Dream Team One Realty Group to Tha Motiv8tors Table Season 5 [00:04:43] - Stacie’s Philadelphia upbringing, Temple psychology degree and 25 year legal operations career [00:10:14] - The husband and wife pivot, Stacie asking Bruno to get his real estate license and forming the Dream Team One [00:14:46] - The carpenter and the roofer, why complementary skill sets make a stronger business partnership [00:20:09] - Taking the fear out of AI and easing beginners into prompts through the AI Unlocked workshops [00:26:05] - Your brand is the most powerful residual income, never vacant and always working [00:34:34] - Three tools to run a multi million dollar business - ChatGPT, Canva and CapCut Notable Guests/Resources: Bruno and Stacie of AI Unlocked and the Dream Team One Realty Group. Full time Philadelphia real estate agents with a second home in Florida. Co-authors of AI Unlocked Beginner’s Prompts, with a second book in progress (AI Unlocked, Beyond the Basics). Bruno’s background spans computer science at Penn State, marketing, and ownership of pool halls, bars, and a Boost Mobile store. Stacie’s background is in legal operations, 25 years working with mid to large sized law firms across Philadelphia, New Jersey and Delaware before getting her real estate license in 2015. AI Unlocked Academy. New subscription-based library of shorter video clips covering the workshop material plus a weekly Sunday recap session from 7 to 8 pm.

    E006 - Empowering a Million Girls - Dr. Teresa Hernandez on Leadership, Entrepreneurship & Global Impact

    Podcast Title: Tha Motiv8tors Table Podcast Host: Dr. JayR McIntyre (Tha Hood Motiv8tor) Episode Title: E006 - Empowering a Million Girls - Dr. Teresa Hernandez on Leadership, Entrepreneurship & Global Impact Summary: Dr. Teresa Hernandez sits down with Dr. JayR McIntyre at Tha Motiv8tors Table to unpack the kingdom assignment she’s been called to: impacting one million girls of color around the world. Raised in Belize, Central America, Teresa is a global youth empowerment and development coach, author, motivational speaker, and Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award recipient. The conversation traces the full arc from farm weekends as a child to the global stage she’s building from in 2026. Teresa walks through her early years selling produce from the family farm, the women in her town who modelled what a true entrepreneur looked like, and the moment she made her first dollar and decided she wanted to be her own boss. She maps the education that followed. Business courses in high school, a BA and master’s in business and entrepreneurship, and a doctorate in humanitarianism that ties straight into her work today. She breaks down the corporate years that became her why. Manager-level roles in the beauty industry, conference rooms of 300 people where almost nobody looked like her, leading the philanthropy arm of the company ERG to understand the hiring and bias picture from the inside, and watching the post-George Floyd corporate talk land as talk and not action. The leap of faith, the prayer, and the global mission that came out the other side. Teresa and JayR cover the Tampa chapter she runs every quarter, the 2026 empowerment tour she’s building out, motherhood alongside the mission with her two teenage children, and the discernment it takes to clear people out of your life who don’t align with where you’re going. JayR puts his hand up to speak at her next quarterly session and locks in the Tampa Bay Diaspora finance event on the 21st.

    E005 - Healing the Inner Child - Breaking Cycles Through Community Support - Ms. Sarah z. Seoudi

    Podcast Title: Tha Motiv8tors Table Podcast Host: Dr. JayR McIntyre (Tha Hood Motiv8tor) Episode Title: E005 - Healing the Inner Child - Breaking Cycles Through Community Support - Ms. Sarah z. Seoudi Summary: Sarah Z. Seoudi joins Dr. JayR McIntyre at Tha Motiv8tors Table to share the mission behind The Living Lab, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit committed to helping children and families heal from childhood trauma through emotional wellness, education, and community-based support. Driven by her own experiences of adversity and the profound loss of her husband, Sarah has transformed personal pain into a mission of purpose, building safe, empowering environments where underserved youth can thrive despite difficult circumstances. Across the conversation, Sarah opens up on her own childhood. The loss of her grandparents at twelve, becoming homeless at thirteen, working full time at a pizzeria, representing herself in truancy court, and finding the rhythm that eventually pulled her out of survival mode. She maps that journey directly onto The Living Lab’s four corners of selfsustaining healing, a curriculum designed to give every child the same starting line regardless of what’s happening at home. She speaks candidly on the Buddhist practice that anchors her work, the partnerships with the YMCA, JWB, Tampa Bay Community Foundation, and the City of Clearwater, the new home at Studio 131, and her drive to keep these programs free for the families who need them most. JayR pulls Sarah deeper into the inner-child work and the day-to-day discipline of leading from purpose rather than fear. She closes with one of the sharpest lines of the season. The only person you’re in competition with is the person you were yesterday, and inside each of you, there’s a crown and a fool. Main Topics: Healing the inner child as the foundation for breaking generational cycles The Living Lab’s four corners of self-sustaining emotional healing Trauma-informed education and reclaiming emotional care from overburdened teachers Sarah’s Buddhist practice, SGI USA and the work of human revolution Surviving childhood adversity, homelessness at thirteen, full time work and truancy court Honouring her late husband’s legacy through community-based youth work Studio 131 in Clearwater and the next chapter of The Living Lab The king and the fool, self-awareness and competing with who you were yesterday Intriguing Quotes: “The future of our children depends on the support we provide today.” “If two children grow up in the same home and have two different experiences, their lives are not going to be the same.” “We’re here in addition to, not replacement of.” “The only person you’re in competition with is the person you were yesterday.” “Inside of each of you is a crown and a fool.” Key Moments: [00:00:58] - 7 Eagle Academy sponsor pre-roll [00:01:28] - JayR welcomes Sarah Z.

    E004 - From Military to Meaningful Careers - Veteran Success Stories with Seven Eagle Group - CEO Jordie Kern

    Podcast Title: Tha Motiv8tors Table Podcast Host: Dr. JayR McIntyre (Tha Hood Motiv8tor) Episode Title: E004 - From Military to Meaningful Careers - Veteran Success Stories with Seven Eagle Group - CEO Jordie Kern Summary: JayR sits down with Jordie Kern, founder of Seven Eagle Group, a national organisation dedicated to helping America’s military veterans transition into meaningful careers in corporate America. The conversation goes deep into the real challenges veterans face after service — underemployment, lack of mentorship, career confusion, and navigating a system that often misunderstands military talent. Jordie shares how his team connects veterans to purpose-driven career paths through mentorship, strategic job placement, corporate partnerships, and SkillBridge opportunities. He breaks down the 180 day SkillBridge window, the live online academy running five hours a day with around 125 transitioning vets, and the single biggest failure mode he sees in transition: choosing the wrong path reactively instead of doing the soul searching first. Along the way Jordie shares a turnaround story of a fast food worker hired into an executive role off the strength of a single video, JayR pulls out the books he’s written for vets in transition, and the two of them land on the line that anchors the whole episode — veterans don’t lack discipline, leadership, or work ethic. They need opportunity. Main Topics: Veterans and career transition challenges Underemployment in the military community The power of mentorship How SkillBridge opens doors Corporate America’s responsibility to hire veterans Veteran success stories that inspire Identifying purpose after service Building a life beyond the uniform Intriguing Quotes: “Veterans don’t lack discipline. They don’t lack leadership. They don’t lack work ethic. They need opportunity.” “The mission doesn’t end when the uniform comes off.” “You can teach how to do the skill, but you can’t teach those soft skills that only get developed by years in the military being trained by some of the best.” “I deserve to be great too. Why can’t I achieve every goal I set out for myself?” “It takes one person. Crack the door open a little bit for them, that’s all.” Key Moments: [00:01:28] - JayR welcomes Jordie Kern from Seven Eagle Group to Season 5 [00:02:08] - Jordie introduces Seven Eagle and the mission to connect veterans with the careers they deserve [00:04:14] - His father’s WWII service in the South Pacific and the late 40s decision to start Seven Eagle [00:08:14] - Veteran undermployment as the bigger problem and the long road to financial and personal alignment [00:17:05] - How the SkillBridge program and the 180 day window set vets up for a smooth landing [00:21:08] - The number one failure mode in transition - going right when you should have gone left [00:35:55] - The fast food worker turned executive hired off a single video introduction [00:42:55] - JayR pours into Jordie and sends the audience straight to 7eagle.com Notable Guests/Resources: Jordie Kern, founder of Seven Eagle Group, based in Massachusetts and originally from New York.

    E002 - “Why Not You” - Todd Simmons on Mental Health, Leadership & Authentic Public Speaking

    Podcast Title: Tha Motiv8tors Table Podcast Host: Dr. JayR McIntyre (Tha Hood Motiv8tor) Episode Title: E002 - “Why Not You?” - Todd Simmons on Mental Health, Leadership & Authentic Public Speaking Summary: JayR sits down with retired US Air Force veteran and Courageous Leadership Alliance founder Todd Simmons for an unfiltered conversation on mental health, authenticity, and the long road from a small South Carolina town to keynote stages around the country. Todd unpacks how a chaotic childhood, an undiagnosed learning disability, and a 25 year Air Force career shaped a man who used to throw up before public speaking and now turns down more invitations than he accepts. The conversation moves through Todd’s early life in Hardyville, the African elder who saw a writer and speaker in him at 10 years old, and the moment he chose to go off script in front of a Missouri auditorium to talk about suicide and depression while still in uniform. He shares why he refuses to call anything a failure, how feedback from a lost contract turned into a business partnership, and why visibility and self awareness are the two muscles he trains hardest. For motivators in the room, this one is a masterclass in why your story matters, why your voice matters, and why the obstacles you have faced don’t disqualify you. As Todd puts it, why not you? Main Topics: • How childhood challenges shaped Todd’s resilience • Overcoming fear to find your voice in public speaking • Why authenticity connects deeper than scripted perfection • The role of mental health in leadership and success • Building real connections and community • Using feedback to fuel growth • The mindset of “Why not you?” as a catalyst for change Intriguing Quotes: “I don’t use the word failure anymore. Everything that doesn’t happen is a lesson.” “Once you fall in love with yourself and all parts of it, you’re okay with the exterior opinions.” “Everyone is watching. Not everyone is engaging.” “I don’t build tables. I build environments and cultures and empires.” “Why not you?” Key Moments: [00:01:30] - Welcome to Todd Simmons, retired Air Force vet and founder of Courageous Leadership Alliance [00:03:36] - Growing up in Hardyville South Carolina as the youngest of four to a single mother [00:04:16] - The undiagnosed learning disability behind failing fourth and ninth grade [00:09:42] - The African elder who tells a 10 year old Todd he will be a skilled writer and speaker [00:13:13] - Reframing failure as feedback and turning a lost contract into a partnership [00:26:27] - Speaking origin story, throwing up in the bathroom before a 500 person ceremony [00:30:00] - Going off script in Missouri to speak about suicide and depression in uniform [00:49:43] - The Why Not You mindset that flipped everything for Todd at 24 Notable Guests/Resources: Todd Simmons, retired US Air Force veteran (25 years, retired 2019), founder of Courageous Leadership Alliance Inc, public speaker, and author of “Why Not Me - Born to Fail, Destined to Succeed”.

Alongside his mother Jai, they share the real-life journey of what it looks like to build a business together, balance parenting with leadership, and pour into the next generation early. Jai opens up about her own path before Kari, an all-star basketball career cut short by a heart condition, time in the military, a stint as a police officer, family programming at the YMCA, and seven years running a group home for teenage girls that produced a whole army of bonus kids.

Like, who can stop you? If you really put in the work, do it.” “Obviously there are steps to make before you get there, but your goal is already in front of you. All you got to do is find the right path to take.” “Go hard with no regrets. You don’t have to look to your left, don’t look to your right.

    E014 - Trust the Process - Dr. Andrea Swink on Earning a Doctorate, Purpose, and Resilience

    Podcast Title: Tha Motiv8tors Table Podcast Host: Dr. JayR McIntyre (Tha Hood Motiv8tor) Episode Title: E014 - Trust the Process - Dr. Andrea Swink on Earning a Doctorate, Purpose, and Resilience Summary: In this inspiring episode of Tha Motiv8tor’s Table, Dr. JayR McIntyre sits down with Dr. Andrea Swink, a Doctor of Industrial and Organizational Psychology, to unpack the real journey behind earning a doctorate, beyond the titles and beyond the degrees. Dr. Swink takes Dr. JayR through her path from growing up on a 400 acre farm in Cashin, Oklahoma, through a Bachelor’s in Organizational Leadership at the University of Oklahoma, a Master’s in Industrial and Organizational Psychology at Kaiser University, and now a Doctorate in the same field completed in December 2025. She is the first generation in her family to earn a doctorate, and she does not soften what it actually took to get there. The conversation gets honest fast. Dr. Swink opens up about losing her family home to a fire in 2013, the moment she decided to keep her grandmother out of a nursing home and what that meant for her path, the running away at 16 that taught her how she actually learns, and the mentor who tore her down so she could build herself back up. She and Dr. JayR talk through purpose over motivation, the discipline of celebrating small wins, why mentorship is non-negotiable, and the cost of pursuing a goal that loses you friends and business partners along the way.
