Remy Davenport has generated 850 million views for his clients, and he still turns founders away. His reason: a platform only amplifies what's already inside you, and he won't put a megaphone on dysfunction.

Stephen Scoggins sits down with Remy, a content strategist who builds platforms for faith-led founders, to explore one of the hardest questions in leadership: when are you ready to be seen, and when is God still building you in the hidden season?

Remy opens up about shutting down two businesses at the same time with no income, no savings, and a baby on the way. He also shares the co-founder fallout that taught him what dysfunction really costs. Stephen reveals the one line that redefined his entire message: you can't scale dysfunction.

In this episode: - Why your platform will only amplify what's already inside you - The Gandhi sugar story and what real credibility looks like - Why imposter syndrome can mean you're teaching what you haven't lived - How Remy's clients create 36 pieces of content in 3 hours - How the algorithm actually works now, and how to reach your real followers - Why "who you're becoming" matters more to God than what you're building

This is the Lion and Lamb methodology in action: the boldness to build a platform, paired with the humility to let God build you first.

Rhonda Kich has spent 20 years in the rooms where deals get done, and she's met heroes who weren't who they claimed to be. Stephen Scoggins and Rhonda talk about finding mentors you can actually trust in a world full of performers.

Rhonda is a dealmaker, strategic advisor, host of the Unfiltered podcast, and president of Mentor Box 2.0. She has helped founders, fund managers, athletes, and entertainers get funded, get visible, and get into the right rooms. Now she's rebuilding Mentor Box as a trust platform where every mentor is vetted, peer reviewed, and expected to own their failures.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• Why meeting your heroes can leave you feeling "a little violated," and what to do when a room isn't aligned
• "Every referral is a loan on your reputation": spotting takers vs. heart-centered people
• Why posing in front of a rented jet or sports car makes you an imposter
• Stephen's story of having everything on paper and feeling completely empty
• How Mentor Box 2.0 vets mentors, and why having no failures disqualifies you
• The one question that makes Rhonda end a conversation immediately
• How to build an advisory board before you can afford a team
• Lion or Lamb: which one cost Rhonda more?

It's the Lion and Lamb methodology in action: the boldness to walk away from the wrong rooms, and the humility to ask for help.

Bernard Quisumbing's story of addiction recovery, faith, and grief: five failed rehabs, 14 years on meth, and the prayer that set him free. Twenty years later, he's walking through the one loss he can't outwork.

Stephen Scoggins sits down with Bernard, former hip-hop artist, former top-performing car salesman, and fitness and wellness thought leader with the Don't Quit Legacy Foundation, for one of the most honest conversations ever on One Part Lion, One Part Lamb.

Bernard opens up about the deal he made with God after jail and five rehabs, how his marriage came back from the brink while he was "crushing it" at work, and what he's learning about grieving well after losing his baby brother, David. For high achievers, leaders, and faith-driven entrepreneurs, this is the Lion and Lamb methodology at its most human. The strength that gets you through, and the surrender that carries you when strength isn't enough.

He had the mansion, the exotic cars, and every marker of "made it" by age 24 — and none of it was real. It took a heart attack to show him why.

In this episode, Stephen sits down with Dan Sachkowsky — performance coach, founder of Big D Coaching, and author of the upcoming book Following Your Way Uphill — for a conversation about what happens when strength becomes the very thing that's holding you back.

Dan built his first business at 17 with no idea what he was doing, chased every marker of success he could get his hands on, and lost it all more than once before he understood why. He and Stephen unpack the moment a heart attack forced him to confront that his focus had been off for years, the "systems first, people second" mindset that finally got him out of his own way, and why so many entrepreneurs think they're serving their families when they're really just serving their own ego.

This one lives right at the center of the Lion and Lamb methodology, the drive and discipline to build something real, paired with the humility to release control before it costs you everything.

In this episode:

• Why founders who try to do everything themselves are the actual bottleneck in their business
• The delegation trap Dan calls "holding their shirt," and how it keeps teams from growing
• Why "I'm doing this for my family" is often a story entrepreneurs tell themselves
• How a heart attack forced Dan to rebuild his company — and himself — on purpose
• The difference between a leader who intimidates and one who protects
• Why "selfish" isn't a dirty word, and how taking care of yourself is what lets you actually serve others
• Where Dan's Lion still runs hot, and where the Lamb has saved him more than once

At 40, Marcus Aurelius Anderson was paralyzed from the neck down and, in his own words, suicidal. What finally moved him wasn't willpower, it was surrender.

In this episode, Stephen sits down with Marcus Aurelius Anderson — Army veteran, author, speaker, and CEO of Catalyst International — to talk about the four months he spent fighting his own paralysis before he finally stopped resisting it. They dig into why adversity only shows its "gift" in hindsight, the difference between patience and hesitation, and why most leaders are the actual bottleneck in their own business.

Marcus also breaks down two tools he uses with clients to stay regulated under real pressure: the "Hungry Judge" bias (how sleep, blood sugar, and fatigue quietly warp your decisions) and the parachute breath, a 30-second reset for people who don't have five minutes for box breathing. It's the Lion and Lamb methodology in action, the strength to keep pushing, paired with the humility to know when to let go.

Marcus is the author of the new book Acta Non Verba ("actions, not words") and host of the Acta Non Verba podcast. Find him at marcusaureliusanderson.com.

Your body knows if a room is safe before your brain even understands why. If you don't know what to do with that signal, it doesn't just disappear, it gets handed to the people who love you most.

In this episode, Stephen sits down with Sara Hartley, ADHD and nervous system regulation coach and children's book author, to unpack the hidden physical sequence that happens in your body in the seconds before you snap, and the exact tool she built to interrupt it in under 60 seconds.

It's the Lion and Lamb methodology in real time: the strength to lead and perform at a high level, paired with the humility to stop, name what's happening in your body, and choose a response instead of a reaction.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Why the people you love most usually get the worst of your dysregulation, and it's not because you don't love them
• The physical "sword and shield" sensation Stephen felt every time he was triggered, before he had a name for it
• The difference between fight, flight, freeze and fawn, and why some people fully disassociate and don't remember what happened
• The ALIGN method: the 5-step, under-60-second tool for shifting from reaction to response
• Why high-capacity leaders are so good at hiding dysfunction, and what it's actually costing them
• Why "you're not set in your ways, you're choosing to stay in your way"

95% of people believe they're completely self-aware. Only 10% actually are, and that gap nearly cost this week's guest his business, his family, and his sanity.

On this episode of One Part Lion, One Part Lamb, Stephen sits down with Lucas Sherraden, pastor turned real estate leader turned author of The Uncaged Leader, to unpack the hidden programming running underneath every decision we make. Lucas shares the moment his eighth-grade daughter's question exposed what was really driving his near-collapse in 2008, and the framework he now teaches leaders to help them see what they can't see in themselves.

Together, they dig into why "the market" is almost never the real problem, how our own preferences quietly make decisions for us before we're even aware of it, and why the question "who must I become" matters more than "what must I do." It's the Lion and Lamb methodology in action: the strength to lead boldly, paired with the humility to actually look inward.

In this episode, we unpack: — The Harvard study on self-awareness that should unsettle every leader — The basketball gym moment that changed how Lucas saw his own business — The 5-second formula for practicing the pause before you react — The leadership archetypes keeping high-performers caged — How Lucas took a Kansas City brokerage from #6 to #1 in two years

George Rivera built a multiple nine-figure business empire, and quietly trained his own son to stop asking him for anything along the way. The world saw the revenue, the exits, the team of 40. What it didn't see was a father who missed 39 of his own son's 40 basketball games, a deathbed confession that became a life sentence, and a business built on a design flaw he didn't know how to name.

Stephen Scoggins sits down with George Rivera, a 31-year entrepreneur, founder of the Buy Back Your Time formula, and creator of Founder Dad Dinners, a table where cash-rich, time-poor founders finally take off the mask. George shares the moment he had to decide whether to burn his company down or sell it, the formula he used to buy back his time without losing his edge, and why leading by outcome instead of task changed everything about how he builds teams. His son Leo, host of his own interview podcast, joins the second half of the conversation to talk about presence, confidence, and his goal of helping 50 kids find their voice.

This episode is about what happens when the business you built to provide for your family quietly starts costing you the family itself, and what it actually takes to buy your time, and your presence back.

He believed the mirror told him the truth about who he is, until a mentor showed him it only reflects intentions, not actions. That one idea unravels into a story about intensity, insecurity, and a marriage he nearly let his own "strength" wreck.

In this episode, Stephen sits down with Tyler Dickerhoof, bestselling author of The Things We Hide and founder of a leadership movement that's impacted more than 200,000 people. Together they dig into the difference between vulnerability and oversharing, why guilt and shame are not the same thing, and why the goal of personal growth was never to "overcome" your insecurities, it's to recognize them faster.

You'll hear:

• Why "the mirror is a liar" and what actually tells you the truth about how you're showing up
• The four walls almost every leader hides behind: intensity, insensitivity, inactivity, and isolation
• The real difference between healthy vulnerability and oversharing that just burdens someone else
• The single scariest question a leader can ask their team, and why it works
• Why most people's core insecurity was planted somewhere between the ages of 8 and 14
