What does it really take to build a business that's rooted in purpose, passion, and multiple streams of income? In this episode of the Successful Business Singles Podcast, we sit down with CEO Brian Gordon—Veteran, Entrepreneur, and founder of Guns & Gars and Tactical Society. Brian shares how he turned his passion for protection into a full business ecosystem, combining security services, firearms, and lifestyle branding into one unified vision. Brian brings a perspective shaped by discipline, resilience, and lived experience. From launching a company in just six months after being told it wouldn't work, to managing multiple ventures at once, he breaks down the reality of entrepreneurship—the focus it requires, the overwhelm that comes with growth, and why systems and adaptability (especially with AI) are critical to staying competitive. In this conversation, Brian opens up about transitioning out of the military, navigating personal loss, and how those moments shaped his purpose. He shares how he's used pain as fuel to build, why multiple income streams create stability, and the mindset required to keep going even when things aren't working.

In this episode of the Successful Business Singles Podcast, Ginia Warren shares how a personal family loss became the moment that changed her entire perspective on money, legacy, and long-term planning. Instead of letting that experience define her, Ginia used it as motivation to start building something lasting for her family through real estate.

Ginia brings a unique perspective shaped by her professional background in human resources leadership.She serves as a Human Resources Director with Indus Communities in Houston, where she focuses on people development, leadership, and organizational growth. Her experience helping organizations build strong teams has also shaped the way she approaches financial planning and long-term strategy in her personal life.

In this conversation, Ginia shares how she began using real estate as a tool to create generational wealth, the mindset shifts that helped her move from simply earning income to building assets, and why planning ahead is one of the most important decisions anyone can make.

Studies show that 68% of cancers are linked to unforgiveness. This deadly trait causes mothers to disconnect from their children, successful businesses to fall to pieces and relationships in general to destruct. Why is unforgiveness so prevalent though it's totally curable? Y'all let's get some HELP! Look no further - HELP IS HERE! Forgiveness Coach Stephanie McNeal joined me in the studio to address unforgiveness head on. Certified in relationship education, Stephanie was confronted with her lifelong anger and bitterness that she was carrying due to sexual trauma at a very young age that had gone unhealed until well into her adulthood. It wasn't until her need to be certified in her profession as a minster of reconciliation and forgiveness coach that she was forced to deal with her own unforgiveness. Fast forward to today, Stephanie is the author of Freed to Love - How Forgiveness Can Heal You From Broken Pieces To Master Peace and leads a movement that inspires countless men and women to produce a published collaborative work charting their own painful path to healing and opportunities to love again through the cathartic art of storytelling. Tune in. Listen Intently. Make an intentional decision to bury the burdens of your past. Forgive.

This year is all about QUALITY RELATIONSHIPS! 💎

David Anthony is back!!!
After COVID, a traumatic brain injury, out of work for 9 months and a hip surgery, David was at a turning point. Life as he knew was over and as a man he had been broken down completely. The friends he had partied with left him and all he was left with was God. A recent follower of Christ at the time, why did God allow such horrible things to impact David's life? Was David mad a God for this untimely setback in his life? What was he going to do now? How would this impact his life and relationships going forward?
Listen to my conversation with podcaster, poet and men's leader for new year insight on how men can be effective leaders in life, love and relationships.

During the holidays, you may feel lonely, have loss of appetite, have loss of sleep - even be sad or angry. This is what's known as holiday blues. Not to be confused with clinical depression or seasonal affective disorder, holiday blues effects approximately 44% of women and 33% of men according to the American Psychological Association.

I had a talk with Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Sheli Aguirre of Journey Forward Counseling and Wellness to understand how to identify the symptoms of holiday blues, understand its triggers and share examples of ways to cope just as receiving a hug, exercise, and dancing naked in the shower!!

You may contact Journey Forward Counseling and Wellness to inquire about services or for a referral at http://www.journeyforward.today or (813) 330-0529.

See below for some tips:

Typical sources of holiday sadness include:

• Stress

• Fatigue

• Unrealistic expectations

• Over-commercialization

• Financial stress

• The inability to be with one's family and friends

How can we HELP Others??

1. MHFA - Ask, Listen, Give Support, Educate on Self-help, Educate on Professional HELP

2. USE: NON-Violent Communication Observe/ Feelings, Needs, Ask

3. REGULATE YOURSELF - You can only truly support from a regulated nervous system

1. MAKE A PLAN and keep realistic expectations for the holiday season.

2. KEEP AN INTENTION. Ask yourself, who and how do I want to be this Holiday season? Choose a word

3. SELF-SOOTHE Find ways that will help you self soothe and regulate your mind and body when stressors build up and the Holiday happenings feel threatening! i.e.Take 5 Deep Breaths, Scan your Body

4. STEP AWAY literally - Take time to go for a walk, have a Dance Break, Shake it Out,

5. MOVE YOUR BODY - Maintaining movement practices is vital to maintaining your feelings of health, wellness, and holiday joy. Do some Yoga, HIIT, Jog

6. SHIFT YOUR MINDSET check in on how you are perceiving your environment, triggers, others. Where do you feel out of control? Shift to what DO I have control over? What choices DO I have?

7. VOLUNTEER If you are lonely, try volunteering some time to help others.

8. FIND FREE holiday activities that are free, such as looking at holiday decorations, going window shopping without buying, and watching the winter weather, whether it's a snowflake or a raindrop.

9. Limit drinking (Substance USE), since excessive drinking will only increase your feelings of depression.

10. Try something new. Celebrate the holidays in a new way.

11. CONNECT Spend time with supportive and caring people. Buddy Up! Find a buddy

12. GIVE SUPPORT - Give Support. Who else around you may be struggling? Giving is sometimes better than receiving. Who needs help raking or baking?

14. RECONNECT Make time to contact a long-lost friend or relative and spread some holiday cheer.

15. SELF-CARE Make time for yourself! You matter, and deserve to feel good.
