| Kelly Slater's Surgeon on Staying Calm Under Pressure | 28 Oct 2026 | 01:18:21 | |
In this episode, Stephen sits down with Dr. Jason Snibbe, orthopedic surgeon trusted by celebrities, pro athletes, and hardworking moms and dads alike, to unpack how staying calm under pressure and treating people as whole human beings builds a practice, a team, and a life that lasts. Dr. Snibbe opens up about why he's building a physician-owned hospital that blends "hospital and hospitality," the leadership mistake that defined his first decade in practice, and the question that silenced a room of 300 surgeons. It's the Lion and Lamb methodology in action: the strength to stay steady when the whole room is looking at you, paired with the humility to see every patient, and every team member, as a person. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE: • Why staying calm under pressure is the difference between a good surgeon (and a good leader) and a great one EPISODE CHAPTERS: (00:00) Episode preview If this episode hit home, follow the show and leave a quick rating and review.

| The $3 Million Mistake Most CEOs Make, And It's NOT What You Think | Rick Jordan | 21 Oct 2026 | 01:34:02 | |
He fired six people from the same seat in 13 months. The real problem? Forty-five minutes a day of training nobody ever did. In this episode, Stephen sits down with Rick Jordan, founder and CEO of Frequency Holdings, Inc., cybersecurity expert, and the CEO who took his company public without private equity money, to unpack why the people and decisions that build a company are rarely the ones that scale it. Rick and Stephen get brutally honest about a $1.7M betrayal by a decade-long team, a bad acquisition that quietly bled clients out the back door, and the employee who cost a company $3M because letting him go took two years. It's the Lion and Lamb methodology in action: the strength to make the hard call, paired with the surrender to own your part in the problem. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:

| Stop Rebuilding Your Life (Do This Instead) | Tanya C. Oliver | 14 Oct 2026 | 01:31:08 | |
You can have the house, the car, the trophies and the stage, and still be stuck asking, "And then what?" Performance coach Tanya C. Oliver hit that question at rock bottom, and her answer wasn't to rebuild her old life. It was to build something completely new. Tanya is a performance coach for Kingdom entrepreneurs with more than 20 years teaching high achievers emotional intelligence, high-performance habits and leadership. She's also the author of Building the New. In this conversation, she and Stephen get honest about why successful people keep repeating the same patterns, how to stop making decisions from dysregulation, and what it takes to build an identity rooted in Christ instead of outcomes.

| You Can't Scale Dysfunction (Why Most Founders Aren't Ready to Go Viral) | Remy Davenport | 07 Oct 2026 | 01:25:05 | |
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.

| 5 Failed Rehabs, Then He Made a Deal With God | Bernard Quisumbing | 23 Sep 2026 | 01:32:29 | |
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. Content note: This episode discusses addiction and suicide and is intended for adult listeners.

| What's Yours to Carry? The Question That Ends Excuses | Dan Sachkowsky | 16 Sep 2026 | 01:19:06 | |
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.

| Paralyzed. Suicidal. Then He Surrendered, And EVERYTHING Shifted | Marcus Aurelius Anderson | 09 Sep 2026 | 01:17:06 | |
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.

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.

| The Car Crash That Changed Everything | Dana Flanagan | 26 Aug 2026 | 01:18:04 | |
Most people are chasing visibility while their credibility quietly runs out, and that gap once cost Dana Flanagan's entire team their paycheck. In this episode, Stephen sits down with Dana Flanagan, a real estate authority turned media strategist and founder of The Authority Architects, to unpack the real difference between being seen and being trusted. Dana shares the business partner whose visibility hid the fact he had no money, and the near-fatal car accident that later collapsed her timeline on everything else. It's the Lion and Lamb methodology in action, the conviction to walk away from a business built on facade, paired with the humility to drop the performer mask and lead from real service. We Unpack:

| Why This CEO Slept In His Car For His Team | Joel Puthoff | 19 Aug 2026 | 01:17:25 | |
Leaders who do deep soul-level work outperform everyone else by 20 to 1, and Joel Puthoff found his way into that number the hard way: sleeping in his car for a week just to make payroll. In this episode, Stephen sits down with Joel Puthoff, CEO and co-founder of Linxy and author of Capability Fuel, to talk about what actually separates leaders who build lasting capacity from those who just borrow it. Joel shares the season he nearly broke himself trying to keep his team paid, the reframe that got him through it, and the philosophy he's built out of it since: choose your hard, or hard will choose you.

| The Study That Should Scare EVERY Leader | Lucas Sherraden | 12 Aug 2026 | 00:55:59 | |
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.

| He Built a 9-Figure Business & Almost Lost His Family | George Rivera | 05 Aug 2026 | 01:17:09 | |
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.

| Why "Strong" Leaders Are the Ones Hiding the Most | Tyler Dickerhoof | 29 Jul 2026 | 01:17:03 | |
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.

| 4 Guests, 4 Gut-Punches: The Best of One Part Lion One Part Lamb | 22 Jul 2026 | 00:27:50 | |
This week's episode is a mashup of some of the most talked-about moments from recent conversations on One Part Lion One Part Lamb. Host Stephen Scoggins sits down with four guests — Chris Sain, Dana Grant, Adetayo Ibijemilusi, and Buddy Clay — for a collection of stories and hard truths our audience couldn't stop sharing. Chris Sain opens up about staying grounded when nobody knows your name yet, and the simple rule that keeps rewarding yourself from becoming a distraction. Dana Grant explains what grace really means, and why healing requires integrating every version of yourself rather than editing them out. Adetayo Ibijemilusi shares what it was like to have a college degree and three certifications and still be driving for Uber Eats at 2am, and the mentor who told him his struggle was temporary. Buddy Clay talks about the book that changed how he sees ego, and why celebrating someone else's success is the fastest way to let go of your own. Together, these conversations return to the same idea at the heart of the show: you can't become a mature lion and a mature lamb while arrogance, ignorance, impatience, fear, or insecurity are still running the show.

| Driving Uber Eats at 2AM to $450k+ a Year | Tayo Lusi | 15 Jul 2026 | 01:20:41 | |
A note that said "sorry, mom." A voice that said "it's not your time." That's where this conversation starts. My guest today is Tayo Lusi — founder of the 1% University, where he teaches AWS Cloud Engineering, personal branding, and sales to help people escape the 9-to-5 and build six-figure consulting businesses. But before any of that, Adetayo survived a suicide attempt, dropped out of college, and drove Uber Eats at 2am with a degree and three certifications and nothing to show for them. We talk about the moment his mentor saw something in him he couldn't see in himself. About the word "leverage" and how it rearranged everything he thought he knew about wealth. About scaling a business from $45K to $489K a year — and eventually to $200-300K a month at a 74% profit margin — not by hustling harder, but by getting aligned before he tried to accelerate. This one goes to some real places: shame, faith, the wrong game we're all taught to play, and what it costs to walk away from it. What we get into:

| Ego vs. Soul: Why Successful Leaders Keep Self-Sabotaging | Dana Grant | 01 Jul 2026 | 01:06:17 | |
She spent years building a record-breaking, multi-million dollar business while the man she trusted most was quietly poisoning her. The world saw the awards, the income, the beautiful home. What it didn't see was 80 pounds of unprocessed grief, a staph infection eating away her legs, and a truth she wasn't allowed to say out loud. What she rebuilt after that truth finally broke open will change how you think about faith, ego, and what you're actually carrying for other people. Dana Grant is the bestselling author of Truth Within the Lie and co-founder of Cauliflower Foods, where she set unbreakable sales records and built a multi-million dollar business — all while privately battling addiction, medical betrayal, and a marriage built on a hidden truth. After her world collapsed in public, she did the deepest healing work of her life, rebuilt her relationship with her daughters, and now teaches leaders how to operate from soul instead of ego. This conversation is about what happens when the life you built on the outside stops matching what's true on the inside, and what it actually takes to let the mask down. In this episode:

| He Built It From Nothing, Got Betrayed at the Top, and Lost Everything in One Morning | Josh Kosnick | 27 May 2026 | 01:27:55 | |
What does it actually cost to win at work while slowly losing everything that matters most? I've been sitting with that question since this conversation ended. My guest today, Josh Kosnick, was at the absolute peak of his career, leading a firm of 250 people, hitting every metric, checking every box, and in one morning at a Marriott, it was gone. A fabricated lawsuit from someone he mentored. A company he loved that chose the easy way out. And a drive home where he had to pull over and fall apart in a parking lot because his whole world had just collapsed. But here's what got me. It wasn't the betrayal that broke him open. It was going down to his basement months later, opening boxes of trophies and accolades, and realizing, none of it meant anything. His marriage, his kids, his faith, his health, all still intact. Everything else? Just stuff. That moment is where the LQ Blueprint was born. And honestly, this framework might be the most practical, honest roadmap for high-achieving men that I've ever heard laid out in a single conversation. We go deep on why your priorities are probably in the wrong order, what it really means to lead yourself before you lead anyone else, the difference between being kind and being nice, why vulnerability isn't weakness, it's actually your strongest leadership tool, and the question that stopped me cold: are you chasing your wife the way you're chasing your goals? I PROMISE you, you need to hear Josh's story. Listen all the way through. The framework at the end alone is worth it.

| He Built a 7-Figure Business While Battling Stage 4 Cancer | Buddy Clay | 20 May 2026 | 01:19:15 | |
He was 33, healthy, building a mental health company from scratch, and a routine mole check came back stage three cancer. Four years later, it came back stage four. What he built in the middle of that will change how you think about leadership, faith, and what you're actually standing on. Buddy Clay is the founder of New Hope Institute, a multi-seven-figure mental health and addiction recovery organization, and he built it while battling cancer twice, delivering his daughter on his kitchen floor two weeks before opening his doors, and learning to lead a team through the most vulnerable season of his life. After corporate norms, health crises, and moments of pure overwhelm, he chose to stop performing and start leading from the truth of his story. This conversation is about what it actually looks like to lead through the fire, build with faith, and come out on the other side more whole than when you went in. If you're scaling a business while carrying something heavy, wondering if your team can survive without you, or just trying to stay anchored when nothing feels stable, this one is going to shift something in you.

| How He Built Wealth Starting With $250 (And Why Rich People Aren't Who You Think) | Chris Sain | 06 May 2026 | 01:22:51 | |
Chris Sain built a million-subscriber community and retired at 37, starting with just $250 a month. No inheritance. No silver spoon. Just consistency, faith, and a refusal to run in the victim Olympics. In this episode, Stephen and Chris go beyond the tactics and into the real conversation behind wealth, the mindset traps, the biblical principles, the emotional discipline required, and why being generous can sometimes do more harm than good. What you'll take away: - Why 80% of pro athletes go broke 3–5 years after their playing career ends - How to start building real wealth with whatever you have right now - The asset classes Chris is investing in for the next 5 years (AI, quantum computing & more) - The dangerous downside of generosity nobody talks about - Why stewardship always has to come before abundance Find Chris: chrissain.com | @chris_sain Find Stephen: stephenscoggins.com | @stephen_scoggins | |||
