Roger Smith is the “unlikely leader.” His life story is full of peaks and valleys, an incredible mix of productivity and addiction, and a turnaround worthy of a Hallmark movie. From a high school dropout to a CEO, something that seems to be an essential element for some of the most successful people like “Auntie Anne” Beiler and Ralph Lauren. Roger has taken the less-than-orthodox lessons he learned on the streets and intertwined them with the more polished lessons from his mentors to become the CEO of two large insurance companies. He shares his story and thoughts on the qualities and practices he has employed and trained over his career to lead his companies to success. Now, with a little more time on his hands, he has written a new book, “The Most Unlikely Leader: An Unbelievable story from GED to CEO.” For more from Roger, visit his website for his social media links, appearances, and more.

Join us for a vibrant conversation with Jordon Bourgeault ( @jboairbrush ), the master airbrush artist behind some of the NHL’s most iconic goalie helmets. From superhero-inspired designs to heartfelt tributes, Jordon’s work transforms protective gear into personal storytelling canvases. In this episode, we dive into the heart of his craft, the pressure of painting for elite athletes, and the wild, human moments that make his art unforgettable. Get ready for stories that blend creativity, hockey passion, and raw emotion—plus a hilarious “Would You Rather” closer that’ll leave you laughing! Jordon shares how he captures a goalie’s personality in designs like his fierce Wolverine claw or glowing neon skull helmets, turning their stories into visual roars that shine under arena lights. Hear about a nail-biting moment when a helmet design nearly went wrong, and how Jordon’s quick thinking saved the day, revealing the intense precision behind his airbrush magic. Jordon reflects on the emotional weight of painting memorial helmets and how he balances bold crowd-pleasers with deeply personal touches for goalies facing NHL pressure. Laugh along as Jordon recounts a time a goalie swore his dragon-themed helmet was a game-changer, or a jinx, and how that shaped his approach to the next project. From quirky studio rituals to the surreal thrill of seeing his art on TV, Jordon opens up about the duality of creating for one athlete and thousands of fans. Check out Jordon’s jaw-dropping designs on Instagram and other socials at @jboairbrush and see how he brings NHL goalies’ stories to life. Inspired by Ed’s story?

Charles Chadwick is a former college student who experienced the challenges many others face in these times of predatory college lending. He made the decision to use his trials to help others. Charles has two degrees but he also learned a trade before going to college. He believes that learning a trade can add more value given today’s very competitive job market as it adds marketable and tangible skills to one’s resume. Careers like Plumbing, Electrical, HVAC and other trades typically survive weak economies and recessions which allows for flexibility and possibly less stress in volatile employment climates. They give more job security by performing essential services that the world needs at all times.

Nick Klingensmith has received “bad news” more than he cares to count. Obstacles seem to find a way of appearing before him, although now, they more often come on his terms. Battling cancer four times, type-1 diabetes, a litany of physical injuries including herniated discs and torn chest ligaments, and the demons of alcoholism, he shifted his perspective from that of a victim long ago. Now he faces self-imposed challenges of Spartan races and marathons, yes, THOSE marathons. Balancing all the nuances of managing his medical conditions with the needs required to endure 26.1-mile runs or a slew of runs that culminated in 127 miles in 6 weeks, Nick does not do it for the personal accolades, he does it to show that you should not allow yourself to be defined by you medical or mental health issues, or allow those circumstances to be your limitations. You are only a victim of your situation if you allow yourself to be. Pick up a copy of his incredible story, “Through the Fire” on Amazon.
