We explored how we are all called to honor God by striving to be the best versions of ourselves in every aspect of life. One of the most impactful parts of our discussion was around the concept of being "leaders of leaders"—men and women who are called to lead with integrity and faith, especially in a world that is so often broken. Pastor Anthony emphasized the power of great leadership and our responsibility to influence others positively through our actions, words, and example. This episode is for anyone looking to integrate faith, family, and leadership in a meaningful way and be the light that God has called us to be.

Tre shares his powerful story of overcoming immense adversity from a young age. Tre's journey began as a Division 1 football player at the University of Pittsburgh, where he faced significant trials. During his freshman year, he battled deep depression and, in his darkest moments, attempted to take his own life multiple times. One night, standing on the edge of a bridge, Tre made a life-changing decision to turn his life around and never look back. Despite these challenges, Tre's passion for football drove him to continue playing at a high level. However, tragedy struck again when a severe hit on the field left him with a collapsed lung, nearly taking his life. While in the hospital, Tre experienced a profound moment of clarity, hearing God’s voice urging him to get up and assuring him that his journey was far from over. After several more years of battling injuries, Tre ultimately retired from football after a seven-year career. Today, he channels his experiences into helping other athletes overcome adversity, speaking, and leading within his community. Tre also dedicates his time to coaching young athletes through his 7-on-7 football camps, continuing to inspire the next generation.

AD&C is a drywall, framing, and Carpentry company specializing in commercial and residential construction. Austin also owns 1-800 Water Damage which specializes in restoration services.

Austin and I discussed his businesses, but I wanted to focus on his restoration business. After the recent hurricane that hit Florida, where I live, Hurricane Ian, I wanted to focus on what people need to look for in a restoration company when a storm hits. Many people dont know where to go after a storm does damage to there home. Austin helps break down what exactly you should do and who you should hire. At 14, very few young people have a passion that will lead them to their life's work. Austin Duchaine is one of the few who discover their passion so early in life. When he was just 14, he discovered that he genuinely liked drywall and everything connected with the construction industry. He also began to realize that he has the blood of an entrepreneur flowing through his veins. More than 20 years after he first worked with drywall, he still gets up every working day looking forward to serving clients in the construction industry.
