Podcast Title: Tha Motiv8tors Table Host: Dr. JayR McIntyre Summary: JJ Howland, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and former radio reconnaissance signals intelligence Marine, joins Dr. JayR McIntyre to share how he rebuilt his life after military service.

A near overdose and the look on his parents’ faces in the hospital became the turning point that led him into cognitive processing therapy at the VA. From there he rebuilt through fitness, a 30 day sobriety challenge that has now stretched past five years, and a return to wrestling that grew into his own gym in Atlanta.

If you don’t change it, you’re choosing it.” (JJ Howland) “Where do the healers go get healed? Where do the motivators go get motivated?” (Dr. JayR McIntyre) “Pain doesn’t define you.

Podcast Title: Tha Motiv8tors Table Host: Dr. JayR McIntyre Summary: The conversation covers Mr. Go To Guy Timberlake's early life, military experience, and insights into the evolution of government contracting.

Podcast Title: Tha Motiv8tors Table Podcast Host: Dr. JayR McIntyre (Tha Hood Motiv8tor) Summary: Stephen Graham sits down with Dr. JayR McIntyre to share a story that moves from foster care in South Carolina to logistics leadership in the United States Navy, and into a Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt career consulting across healthcare, education, the Department of the Navy, and the private sector. Stephen pulls no punches when he walks through the early years, the bullying, the malnutrition, sharing a bed with two other kids, and the moment a teenage cousin told him football would turn his anger into something positive. The conversation deepens when Stephen talks about the choice that changed everything. Working multiple jobs while at Campbell University, club bouncing at strip clubs to pay tuition, watching friends get killed, and one of his own professors quietly tell him he’d be paying student loans until he died, that combination pushed Stephen to walk into a recruiter’s office. The Navy took him, sent him to Norfolk, then to Japan on the flagship USS Blue Ridge, and gave him the stable ground to rebuild himself. From there, Stephen built a portfolio: life insurance, real estate in Jacksonville, construction with CBRE, teaching Six Sigma at Villanova, and now a Master Black Belt consulting practice that has supported over 100 organisations. He’s been appointed procurement lead for the PMI Washington DC chapter and helps create the global guidelines for Lean Six Sigma certification. He also speaks honestly about losing six friends in four months last year, two to suicide, and why he’s pulling closer to God, gratitude, and family in 2026. JayR closes with a direct affirmation to Stephen, that the version of him as a foster kid who almost gave up is the same one who built the life he has now, and that loving on yourself first is what makes it possible to love everyone else. Main Topics: • Growing up in foster care, malnutrition, and the loss of both parents • The grandparents’ home in Lake City, South Carolina and the football turnaround • Working club security and strip clubs through Campbell University • The professor moment that pushed Stephen toward the Navy recruiter • Navy career progression from deck seaman to flagship USS Blue Ridge in Japan • Pivoting into life insurance, real estate, and construction post-active duty • Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt work and the PMI Washington DC procurement lead role • Faith, gratitude, and the importance of therapy for Black men Intriguing Quotes: “I had to share a bed with two other kids.” “I’m over 100K in debt from all these degrees. I drive a 1999 Toyota Camry... I’m going to be paying these student debts till I die.” “No matter what stages we are in life, we just got to appreciate, man.” “Be yourself, accept your flaws... my life may not be where I want to be, but I’m at where I need to be.” “Do not be the gatekeeper. If there is valuable information that could help share with somebody personally, professionally, whatever the case may be, try to help those people.” Key Moments: [00:01:33] - Stephen introduces himself and walks through his current Lean Six Sigma and PMI work [00:03:25] - Growing up as a foster kid in South Carolina after both parents passed [00:09:05] - Moving in with grandparents in Lake City and finding stability through school [00:13:55] - Working through Campbell University as a club bouncer at strip clubs [00:17:55] - The professor moment that pushed Stephen toward the Navy recruiter [00:28:30] - Japan, the flagship USS Blue Ridge, and learning real professionalism [00:40:30] - Pulling closer to God, gratitude, and the six friends lost in four months [00:47:00] - Stephen’s closing message on therapy, self-love, and not being a gatekeeper Notable Guests/Resources: Stephen Graham, Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt.

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.

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. Main Topics: The entrepreneurial mindset that starts in childhood Why mentorship changes everything for young women The balance between motherhood and mission Building businesses that serve communities Faith, discernment, and trusting your calling How to scale your impact globally Intriguing Quotes: “Your story will get you to your glory.” “No job is your job unless you have your own.” “Dr. Teresa doesn’t just talk about empowerment — she lives it.” “Motivation isn’t enough. Execution creates impact.” “Legacy is not built by accident. It’s built by intention.” Key Moments: [00:00:35] - Seven Eagle Academy sponsor pre-roll [00:02:14] - JayR welcomes Dr. Teresa Hernandez to Tha Motiv8tors Table Season 5 [00:03:41] - Teresa on growing up in Belize and learning entrepreneurship as a child [00:09:40] - Education path through business degrees and a doctorate in humanitarianism [00:12:02] - “Your story will get you to your glory” and the behind the scenes faith journey [00:17:42] - Teresa’s why and the missing representation in corporate leadership rooms [00:21:24] - The kingdom assignment to impact one million girls of color globally [00:34:54] - “No job is your job unless you have your own” on building legacy through ownership Notable Guests/Resources: Dr. Teresa Hernandez (Dr. Teresa Isabelle), global youth empowerment and development coach, author, motivational speaker, and Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award recipient.

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.

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.

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.

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”.
