In this powerful conversation, Steve Ramona sits down with Jackson Calame to explore the deeper truth behind vision, purpose, service, and leadership. This is not just a conversation about growing a company. It is a conversation about becoming the kind of person who can lead one with clarity, courage, and heart.

You can almost feel the tension between ambition and peace, between logic and intuition, between chasing results and becoming the leader your vision requires. This episode is for the entrepreneur who feels stretched, the leader who knows there is something deeper calling them, and the human being who wants success to mean more than money. Jackson's message invites you to pause, examine what truly matters, and build from a place of alignment instead of urgency. Steve guides the conversation with warmth and intention, drawing out practical wisdom that speaks directly to business owners, servant leaders, and anyone ready to create a greater impact in their world.

In this powerful conversation, Steve Ramona sits down with Delisa Abraham to explore what it truly means to lead with a servant’s heart. Drawing from her journey as a veteran, mentor, and leadership coach, Delisa shares how real leadership begins long before recognition.

Send us Fan Mail There is a kind of leadership that looks generous on the outside, but slowly drains the person carrying it. It says yes to everything, stays available to everyone, and confuses sacrifice with surrender. In this powerful conversation, Steve Ramona sits down with John Kidwell to uncover a deeper truth, servant leadership is not about pleasing everyone. It is about leading with courage, clarity, and conviction. John shares the moment that changed everything for him, when a hard conversation challenged the very foundation of how he saw himself as a leader. What followed was a personal and professional redefinition of what it really means to serve. Through heartfelt stories, practical wisdom, and hard-won insight, he reveals the three anchors of meaningful leadership, being mission driven, bringing a servant heart, and developing a business mind strong enough to hold both people and performance with care. This episode is for the leader who feels stretched thin, the entrepreneur trying to protect both purpose and peace, and the person learning that boundaries can be one of the most loving things we give. If you have ever struggled to say no, step away, rest well, or lead through discomfort, this conversation will meet you where you are and call you into something stronger. P.S. The next level of your leadership may not begin with doing more. It may begin with the brave decision to lead with truth, protect what matters most, and trust that service and strength can live in the same heart. Guest bio John Kidwell is a leadership coach, speaker, author, and podcast host who helps mission-driven leaders redefine what servant leadership really looks like. With warmth, honesty, and practical wisdom, he teaches leaders how to serve people well without losing themselves in the process.

Send us Fan Mail What if the hardest chapters of your life were not the end of your story, but the very reason you were chosen to change someone else’s? In this unforgettable conversation, Steve Ramona sits down with Ramy and Chase, two visionary leaders whose journeys are rooted in resilience, reinvention, and radical generosity. Ramy’s story feels almost impossible to believe, yet every part of it carries the weight of lived truth. Homeless at twelve, self-educated through hardship, and fueled by a relentless belief in possibility, he rose to create extraordinary wealth, lost it, rebuilt it, and chose to turn his deepest pain into a mission of service. What emerged is not just another charitable idea. It is a bold plan to transform an entire city into a place of healing, housing, opportunity, and dignity for homeless individuals, veterans, migrants, and families in need. Alongside him is Chase, a builder with a sharp eye for the future and a heart for transparency. Through Wishes, he is reimagining charitable giving by helping donors see clearly where their money goes and what impact it has. Together, Ramy and Chase are not simply talking about solving problems. They are creating systems that restore trust, inspire generosity, and reconnect people to purpose. This episode is about more than business success. It is about what happens when pain becomes perspective, when wealth becomes responsibility, and when faith in people becomes action. If you have ever wondered whether one idea, one relationship, or one bold decision could change everything, this conversation will meet you right where you are and challenge you to think bigger about the life you are here to build. P.S. The world changes when people stop waiting for permission and start serving with courage. Let this episode remind you that your greatest impact may begin with one brave decision to believe bigger. Ramy is a visionary entrepreneur, author, and humanitarian whose life story is marked by extraordinary reinvention. From surviving homelessness as a child to building and rebuilding immense success, he has transformed personal adversity into a mission to restore dignity, opportunity, and hope for others. Today, his purpose is clear: to create lasting change by helping society’s most overlooked people rise again. Chase is a purpose-driven founder and business builder who blends innovation with compassion. After scaling technology ventures and learning through intense entrepreneurial pressure, he turned his focus toward solving one of giving’s biggest challenges: trust. Through Wishes, he is creating a more transparent, meaningful way for people to support causes and see the difference their generosity makes. https://wishes.inc/, https://www.instagram.com/wishesgives/ Join My Free Community: https://bit.ly/4qeA03q Free Newsletter: https://bit.ly/4pOcgU9 Serving Journal: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CSNSY1M1 Join Me on Substack: https://podcasthost.substack.com/ Doing Business with a Servant's Heart Named Top 20 Small Business Marketing Podcast https://podcast.feedspot.com/small_business_marketing_podcasts/ Subscribe to our Podcast Newsletter https://doing-business-with-a-servants-heart.kit.com/628f9d5962

Send us Fan Mail Michael DeLon’s story does not begin with a polished pitch or a perfect business plan. It begins in a quieter, harder place, in the ache of feeling trapped inside work that no longer matched who he was called to be. What happens when a man realizes the prison holding him back is not made of steel bars, but of misalignment, frustration, and the slow erosion of purpose? In this deeply moving conversation, Michael shares how walking away from an emotional prison became the doorway to clarity, faith, and a thriving business built on service, trust, and credibility. You will hear the turning point that changed everything, from a season of ministry, marriage restoration, and corporate disappointment, to the moment he recognized that his message, his story, and his book could become bridges to deeper connection. Michael reveals how authenticity is not a branding tactic, but a way of life. He opens up about what it means to show up fully as yourself, to let faith shape your decisions, and to build a company where serving people matters more than chasing the next sale. With practical wisdom on credibility, clear messaging, books as business tools, and the power of giving value before asking for anything in return, this episode meets listeners in both the heart and the strategy of business. If you have ever wondered whether you can grow something meaningful without compromising who you are, this conversation will speak directly to that tension. Michael’s message is simple and powerful, people do not just buy what you do, they buy who you are and the trust they feel in your presence. This episode is an invitation to stop performing, stop forcing, and start building from truth, clarity, and service. P.S. Let this be the episode that reminds you your story is not your weakness, it may be the very thing someone else needs to trust you, follow you, and believe again. Michael DeLon is a credibility strategist, author, and founder who helps experts create powerful books without writing a word. His work is rooted in faith, clarity, and service, but what makes him unforgettable is not just what he teaches, it is how deeply he lives it.

Send us Fan Mail What if the tension so many people feel at home and at work is not really about conflict, but about misunderstanding energy, identity, and connection? In this powerful conversation, Nana Ponce de Leon opens up about the hard-earned wisdom that came through heartbreak, self-awareness, and transformation. After the unraveling of a 22-year marriage and years in the corporate world, she began to see something deeper. Women and men are not meant to battle for power; they are meant to understand one another more fully and collaborate from a place of strength, truth, and humanity. Nana shares how living almost entirely in masculine energy helped her survive and succeed, but also created friction in relationships that needed softness, receiving, and emotional presence. She brings language to something many people feel but cannot explain: the dance between masculine and feminine energy in business, leadership, love, and communication. This episode is filled with real examples, honest tension, and liberating insight into what happens when women stop seeing femininity as weakness and when men feel safe enough to receive understanding rather than resistance. The result is not less power, but more harmony, more wisdom, and more impact. For the listener, this conversation is an invitation to pause and ask, where am I forcing when I could be connecting? Where am I resisting help, love, or collaboration because I have mistaken softness for surrender? Nana reminds us that success without inner alignment creates strain, but when we lead from both strength and heart, our relationships, teams, and businesses begin to thrive in a more sustainable way. P.S. If this conversation stirred something in you, do not ignore it. The next breakthrough in your life or business may begin the moment you stop performing power and start embodying truth. Guest Bio Nana Ponce de Leon is a speaker, coach, and passionate voice for restoring harmony between men and women in both business and life. Her journey was not built on theory alone, but on lived experience, including corporate leadership, personal loss, and the courageous work of reexamining how energy shapes relationships. Today, she helps others understand the deeper power of feminine and masculine dynamics so they can lead, love, and communicate with more grace, clarity, and purpose Join My Free Community: https://bit.ly/4qeA03q Free Newsletter: https://bit.ly/4pOcgU9 Serving Journal: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CSNSY1M1 Join Me on Substack: https://podcasthost.substack.com/ Doing Business with a Servant's Heart Named Top 20 Small Business Marketing Podcast https://podcast.feedspot.com/small_business_marketing_podcasts/ Subscribe to our Podcast Newsletter https://doing-business-with-a-servants-heart.kit.com/628f9d5962

Others build it by surviving what should have broken them. In this deeply moving conversation, Steve Ramona sits down with Rooya Ayubi, a woman whose journey began in the harsh uncertainty of fleeing Afghanistan as a young child and led her all the way to California, motherhood, healing, and purpose. But this episode is not just about survival. It is about what happens when someone dares to ask the deeper question beneath the pain. Why am I here, and how do I live in a way that truly honors that answer? Rooya opens up about a long battle with depression, unworthiness, and the invisible weight of shame. With honesty and grace, she shares how that pain became the doorway to a larger mission, helping people reconnect with their worth so they can finally stop running from themselves. Drawing inspiration from Simon Sinek’s Start With Why, she brings the conversation into the heart, where purpose, healing, and true service begin. Her message is clear and powerful. When people do not know their worth, they chase validation, people-please, numb out, and lose themselves. But when they reconnect to their value, they begin to live, lead, love, and serve in a completely different way. This episode will speak to anyone who has ever felt disconnected from themselves, burdened by shame, or unsure of their purpose. Rooya reminds us that the heart is not a weakness. It is the source. It is where healing begins, where courage is born, and where real impact becomes possible. This conversation is a call to stop living from the wound and start living from the why. P.S. The next time you look in the mirror, do not ask what you need to prove. Ask what part of you is waiting to be honored, healed, and fully seen. Rooya Ayubi is a healer, guide, and purpose-driven voice devoted to helping people rediscover their worth and live from the heart. After overcoming deep depression, shame, and a lifelong struggle with unworthiness, she turned her own healing journey into a mission to help others reclaim theirs. Her work centers on self-worth, emotional healing, and helping people move from survival and self-abandonment into purpose, connection, and true inner success.

For Nick Prefontaine, a snowboarding accident at just fourteen years old did exactly that. What should have been a normal day on the mountain became a life-altering trauma that left him in a coma, facing a future doctors believed might never include walking, talking, or living independently again. But this conversation is not about the accident alone. It is about what rose from it. In this powerful episode, Steve Ramona and Nick unpack the mindset, faith, family support, and relentless persistence that carried him from a hospital bed to running out of rehab in less than sixty days. Nick’s story is gripping because it is not polished inspiration. It is lived resilience. He shares the emotional truth of recovery, the quiet role his family played in protecting his hope, and the deep internal voice that kept calling him toward something bigger. That journey eventually became Common Goal and the STEP system, a simple but life-changing framework built around support, trust, energy, and persistence. What makes this message so moving is that Nick is not just teaching theory. He is teaching what he survived. He knows what it feels like to face fear, uncertainty, physical limitation, and doubt. He also knows what it takes to move forward anyway. This episode will hit home for anyone facing a setback, trauma, health challenge, or difficult season in life or business. It is a reminder that healing does not happen all at once. It happens one brave step at a time. Nick’s story proves that even when life breaks your plans, it does not have to break your purpose. You can rebuild. You can recover. You can rise stronger than before. P.S. If life has knocked you down lately, do not focus on the whole mountain. Just take the next step. That single step may be the beginning of everything changing. Nick Prefontaine is a speaker, coach, and founder of Common Goal, whose life was transformed by a devastating snowboarding accident at age fourteen. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1p65Z3Od0KDMy2CUoeubvBYoL3rkHo9Dy/view?usp=drive_link https://nickprefontaine.com/step Join My Free Community: https://bit.ly/4qeA03q Free Newsletter: https://bit.ly/4pOcgU9 Serving Journal: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CSNSY1M1 Join Me on Substack: https://podcasthost.substack.com/ Doing Business with a Servant's Heart Named Top 20 Small Business Marketing Podcast https://podcast.feedspot.com/small_business_marketing_podcasts/ Subscribe to our Podcast Newsletter https://doing-business-with-a-servants-heart.kit.com/628f9d5962

It changes their purpose. In this moving conversation, Steve Ramona sits down with Gilda Evans, a mother, advocate, and founder driven by love, lived experience, and a fierce commitment to helping others find answers faster than she did. What began as one mother’s search for support after her son’s autism diagnosis became something far greater, a mission to create clarity, community, and hope for millions of families navigating autism and neurodivergence. Gilda shares the emotional reality of what so many parents feel in those first uncertain moments, the overwhelm, the isolation, the confusion, and the fear of not knowing where to turn next. She speaks with honesty about the gaps in access, the missing resources, and the exhausting detective work families are forced to do while trying to care for the people they love most. But she also brings a deeply human reminder that autism is not something to fear or judge. Every person is different. Every journey is different. Every life has value. Her words invite listeners to release assumptions and meet people with compassion, curiosity, and respect. P.S. If someone you love is showing signs that something may need attention, trust your instinct and take the next step. One conversation, one question, or one resource could change the course of a life. Gilda Evans is a passionate advocate, storyteller, and founder of the Autism Resource Project, a nonprofit born from her own family’s journey through autism. After years of navigating confusion, searching for answers, and fighting for the right support for her son, Gilda turned her experience into a mission to help other families feel less alone and more empowered. She leads with empathy, clarity, and an unwavering belief that every person deserves access to the tools and support that help them live their best life.

In this heartfelt conversation, Steve Ramona sits down with Dan Posner to explore what happens when success is guided by service, not ego.

From family values written on a kitchen wall to business relationships built on trust, generosity, and gratitude, this episode brings real wisdom for anyone who wants to lead with heart and still win in business.

It is about creating meaningful impact through small, consistent acts of service that change relationships, culture, and results over time. He opens up about building a thriving affiliate program, creating unforgettable experiences for partners, and why fun, trust, and shared values matter more than transactional thinking. He also speaks with refreshing honesty about hard leadership moments, especially when someone is no longer the right fit, and why real care sometimes means having the courage to let go.
