Let's spent this Monday on the Eastern Shores of Maryland, shall we. There, you can engage with our guest for the day, Health & Wellness coach and integrative practitioner, Denise Sultenfuss.

What is my one-liner of Wisdom on a billboard for the world to see, asked out guest, Joseph Descans.. "Don't be selfish !" A powerful statement but one that we have all heard since we were very little ! Also one that needs daily reminders. Joseph, a single dad of 4 and author of "Hosea: The Prophet That Married a Prostitute", joined Stacy & Cassey from beautiful San Diego, California, for and enlightening conversation. He shared that his hero is "Anyone pursuing God. That is usually the person that steps in and helps others to the end. Regardless." Spend some time with us as we unpack advice to 20 yr old Joseph and insight to surviving in today's world.
Is ENOUGH a boundary or a mindset ? When we asked out guest, Tremayne Stewart, to define enough, it brought him to a place where he once believed 'Nothing was enough'. It was a measure of success or failure. Cassey believes that it is her 'mom job' to fill her children's echo chamber with the belief that ' They are Enough.' For Stacy, it is recognition that 'I have enough. Enough love and enough time, to share'. We also found a common belief that everyone's "Enough" is different. What is enough for you may just be the beginning for someone else. And that is ok. Boundaries are safe and necessary. What is your definition of ENOUGH ?

A beautiful lady named Shirley once said," The reason I give grace is because I so desperately need it." How do you define GRACE? The first response from our lovely guest is that 'Grace is an invisible energy all around us that excuses us all when we mess up."

They say it is impossible to be in 2 places at one time, but on this particular day, Stacy & Cassey had the chance to be in small ranching communities in Texas and Ottawa, Ontario, Canada at the same time.

She has devoted 20 yrs of her time to helping women who have put themselves of the back burner for too long to rediscover their passion and control of their life. Her heroes are people who make an exceptional effort to make the world a better place.

Episode 156 we have a conversation with 2 warriors. Meriam (meriamboldewijn.com) encompasses the word BOLD in her name for a reason. She is a care-giver that helps reduce stress, release guilt and prevent & overcome a burnout in taking care of your loved ones. She is the real deal. And, then there is Ashley who is no less of a warrior in her own right. She is real-deal #2! Ashley is a purpose driven, dream chaser who is taking ground daily towards her dream. She is a special events planner at Timeless Dream Events. So that you can hurry up and listen, I'll leave you with one of their T-shirt phrases: "You can either have your buttprints on the couch or your footprints in the sand. Get up and chase your dreams!"
Episode 155 - Chris Leuhr joins us to discuss our Hero Wisdom Word: KIND! Kindness is a very big subject all the time in every corner of the world. It's a simple word, yet the application seems difficult to maintain. We want to ask you a couple of questions - 1. What kind of kindness do you need today? and 2. What kind of kindness do they need today? Be the kind of person who is KIND and KIND will come back to you.
Episode 154! Our guest today is Jessica Stone (Jessica-Stone.com). She is a former news anchor, journalist; she is a mom, wife and aspiring golf player. Her new book is "Crossing The Divide". We enjoyed our time with Jessica and know you will, too. Find out what the most important decision on earth is and the reason behind her T-shirt phrase: "Burst Your Bubble!"
Episode 153 - Let me ask you a question. What would you think of hooking up in an RV and traveling? Our next guest decided to quit thinking about it and just do it! We had a blast talking with our guest Tracie Shroyer, finding out who her hero is and more. She reminds us that "the world needs to hear what you want to say" and get this - Small is the new BIG! You don't have to get your head around that thought, just tune in.
Episode 152 is a great word for everyone! Our special guest, Kurtis Cross, talks about the word GRATITUDE with us. What are you thankful for? Who are you thankful for? When are you the most thankful? I know one thing for sure - you will be thankful that you tuned in today and listened to us banter the word GRATITUDE.
Episode 151! Can you believe it? We get to discuss heroes and diagnosis with Dr. Kylie Burton. She also has a podcast for you to check out. So, look for beyond the diagnosis for more insight from Kylie. Today, we learn that there is healing beyond the diagnosis.
Episode 150 we get to have a conversation with the fabulous Kristen Schindler. Her new book, "All the things", is a must read. Kristen is an educator of 23 years, a writer and an encourager of others. We learned a ton and know you will too! Let's listen in and let Kristen help us understand the significance of being authentic, being vulnerable and listening to the hearts of others. kristenleeschindler.com
Episode 149 is about TRUTH! There is absolute truth and the right now truth we are living in. What is the truth? What is your right now truth and what are you doing about it? Are you blaming it on someone else or are you owning your truth? Jesus is the way, the truth and the life...So, we want to encourage you to hold on to the TRUTH no matter what your truth may be today.
Episode 148 comes all the way from the UK, where we connected with Clare Ford, an expert educator and founder of "Switched On". This episode nicely follows our last one that continues the focus on the importance of simply being yourself. One of the many places you can get in touch with Clare is on instagram at switchedonmum. Here's a reminder from Clare in case you miss out on listening in - "You're absolutely, completely and utterly perfect being YOU!"
"Here's the deal - Imperfect Action is Progress!" Enough said really! We got to connect with Nicky Espinosa from Minnesota who is inspiring women to step into their influence. Nicky helps you build confidence and clarity to get the life you want without sacrificing who you are. In this Episode you will discover that it's significant to 'double-down' on your authenticity. It's time to get to know yourself, deal with your limiting beliefs and take imperfect steps that move you forward into your greatness. Look her up and see what Nicky can help you with.
Episode 146 is all about LEGACY. You've noticed that the word LEG is part of the word, meaning that a legacy has legs! How do you know you have given others legs to stand on? Sometimes, we don't! It's been said that you won't know the influence you've had until after you've gone. That may be true. But, until then, how can you build on your legacy? Legacy is what you're proud of passing down and know it will be gladly passed on to others. theherobuilder2020@gmail.com
In Episode 145 we were introduced to Ari Gronich, The Performance Therapist. This episode is fantastic because it is an authentic conversation with a guy who actually knows what he's talking about. I love the realness of this T-shirt quote he gives us: "We made this shit up and we can do better!" Let's learn how we can start doing things better by spending some time with Ari. You'll be glad you did.
Episode 144 is a great conversation with Tariq Shabazz from Cleveland, Ohio. He is a man with a mission and is inviting others to journey with him. I like rhymes that are simple, yet give us something to do, not just something to remember. "Lend a hand when you can." How can you lend a hand to someone today? A special thanks to Tariq for sharing your everyday hero with us.
I have a question for you. Is there peace when you enter a room, or more peace when you leave the room? Do you bring peace to someone's storm? The worst thing to hear when someone sees you coming is, "Here comes chaos!" The best thing to feel when someone sees you coming is, "Here comes peace!" Boyd and Stacy want to encourage you to be a peacemaker wherever you go. Not only does being a peacemaker provide calm in the chaos for others, it gives you a peace of mind as well.
Episode 142 Stacy and Boyd met with Trish Nancoo from Toronto, Ontario. We agree with Trish when she shared with us the thought of being your best self is always minus the fluff. She also reminds us that you should "start by being kind to yourself." Can you minus your fluff and be as kind to yourself as you are to others?
Episode 141 Stacy and I get to spend some time with Donald "Skip" Mondragon from Texas. Skip dropped a lot of helpful thoughts our way like this one: "Tough guys get depressed!" I've been there! Maybe you know someone who is dealing with this, too. Encourage them to get the help they need. One more thing and I'll stop writing so you can listen to the podcast - even though we know that depression isn't for wimps, we know that what we've experienced "doesn't define you, it only designs you" as Stacy so nicely puts it. "Keep Your Head UP" as Skip reminds us, God isn't finished with you yet!
Episode 140 is all about JOY. Joy is a choice. It's a state of being present. What Stacy and I talk about is happiness is external where JOY is internal. Rather than it being a mindset, what if we simply flip it and set our minds on things that are good? Philippians 4: 8-9 reminds us of this importance. Let us know what you think.
Episode 139 is a special podcast because Janet Fanaki is a living example of the Hero Wisdom Word: Resilient! She is the Host & Founder of RESILIENT PEOPLE podcast , Founder @TheAdamFanakiBrainFund , @GBMWidowsClub. We want to encourage you to look her up at ResilientPeople.ca. Janet "tells stories about EXTRAordinary people who are admired for their resilience." She will inspire you and challenge you to get great people around you. Your personal circle should have at least one person that makes you laugh. Funny people are healthy to be around. There is more great stuff that Janet shares, but you'll have to listen to the podcast to find out what it is.

Kyle is one of our newest heroes and is making a big difference around the world. kylespryides.com
Episode 137 Stacy, Boyd and our special guest, Cassey Holland, mustered up the courage to talk about the word BRAVE. What does it mean?

Let us know what BRAVE means for you at herobuilder2020@gmail.com.
There are heroes all around this world doing wonderful things and making great contributions.

So, listen in as we get to have a "play-versation" (De'Nicea's word) on today's podcast. deniceahilton.com
Episode 134 Stacy and Boyd discuss the significance of discipline. Is it difficult expending your energy on what really matters? Is it hard to tell your inner child 'NO' for the greater good of your goals? Forming a new habit you want that will take you further is worth the time investment.
In Episode 133, we get to interview the author of No Regrets: Hope for Your Caregiving Season. Rayna is also a Certified Coach and Public speaker. She reminds us of the importance of treasuring what we have, to stop and smell the roses. It's a lesson I (Boyd) needed to be reminded of. Rayna gives us words of encouragement at the end of our time together by leaving us with this: "It might be hard, but it will be worth it!" aseasonofcaring.com
In this Episode 132, Stacy and Boyd get to speak with Benson Fox, who helps Jewish men gain more balance, harmony, and joy in their lives. Benson is a transformation coach that helps men get results. Who likes getting results? Everybody! We all like getting results! We just need someone like Benson in our corner to help provide us with proper guidance. Get in touch with Benson at results@coachBensonFox.com
Episode 131 is a combo of 2 words we think are important: Integrity + Grit = Integritty! Integrity requires GRIT and, at times, we have to be willing to dig a little deeper to go a little further. Most people choose to live on the surface and forego their treasure. We want to encourage you to pick up your shovel and start digging to uncover your hidden treasure! Remember, character is the shovel to our integritty! Be willing to DIG!!
Episode 130 with Sapna Rad (SapnaRad.com) was inspiring, motivating and helps you to understand that the task before you is doable! As a conscious parenting coach, Sapna encourages us with this thought: "Do the WORK! It's not as scary as you think it is!" At everydayheroes-thepodcast, Stacy and I want to come alongside others who are bringing out the hero in the people they work with. Sapna does that! We want to encourage you to let the hero in you shine a little brighter every day.
In this Episode 129, Stacy and Boyd get to connect with the author of the kids book, Mypatchworkfamily. Ginger reminds us of the importance of giving yourself grace in your pursuit of greatness. She is a math teacher, wife and a mother who knows her stuff. Listen in with us as we learn from Ginger Baerg.
Episode 128 is one that we all need to pay attention to! LOL! Do you remember, as a kid, being told to "Pay Attention?" Maybe you're still told that as an adult. Do you find yourself chasing a lot of squirrels during the week to enter your weekend not having finished a single task you started? Or, are you laser focused and productive, getting all the items checked off your list before the weekend arrives? In order to give your main priorities (whether that be people or projects) the attention they deserve, we all need to pay a little more attention so that we can be a lot more productive. So, what do you need to let go of so you can focus YOUR attention a little better?
Episode 127 Stacy and Boyd have a fantastic conversation with Chef Jake Doherty. Jake's advice to us is simple: "Keep your options OPEN!" His advice is especially helpful when you feel like you've lost everything. It is in that place that you just might discover a launching pad for something even greater than you had before. So, "Keep your options OPEN!" and, after you've listened in, you'll understand why that's so important in the journey. Jake is doing great things at deridari.com!
Episode 126 reveals our newest guest and hero, Laura Warfel from Illinois. Laura is a freelance writer and editor that can be reached at laurawarfel.com. Out of the many questions we asked Laura, I wanted to focus on one - "What is your MORE?" Isn't that a fabulous question to ask yourself? Laura encourages us to explore the depths of that question and leaves us with great encouragement to "Find Your More!" so that you can "Live Your MORE!"
In this episode, Stacy and Boyd talk about the word ACCEPTANCE. Self acceptance and Others acceptance. We want to encourage you to know yourself so that you can grow yourself, do your own thinking and stand up for YOU! We ask the questions, "would you recognize you if you ran into you?" "Would you accept the you that you see?" "What do you like about you?" "What would you improve?" In being accepting of others we simply need to see things from others perspective. See the best in others by placing a "10" on their heads. It's up to them to live up to that 10.
Episode 124 we have the opportunity to speak with Sarah VanHoose. "The Magic is in YOU!" I know you've heard it said before! It's worth saying again and again until we all not only hear it, but get it. Sarah brings great encouragement during our conversation about her hero and how she is being a hero to the world as well. You can reach Sarah at myjourneytoinfluence.com.
Episode 123 Stacy and Boyd get to speak with Mike Iamele from the Boston, Mass part of the world. I think that the conversation we had with Mike is a conversation we all need to have with ourselves. Have you ever tried being someone you are not? How did that work out for you? For most, it doesn't work out very well! Have you ever tried being yourself? Stop for a minute!! That was a trick question. In our conversation, Mike reminds us that "you never have to TRY to be yourself!" I think he is on to something. You can find him at mikeiamele.com or look for Mike at #sacredbranding.
Episode 122 Stacy and Boyd spend some time with Drew Gerald. He's been a special guest on our podcast before, we invited him back to banter this word with us - GRACE. It's how you flow through the world. As Stacy so nicely puts it, it "cleans your side of the street." We ask the questions: Does our need for grace and our willingness to extend it to others measure up? Do you give grace before or after it's needed? Is it ever too early? Can it be too late? Fasinating conversation! See what you think.
Episode 121 we interview Dusty Simmers. We will learn all kinds of great things today in our short time with Dusty. She has a love for people and horses and understands that messes can turn into messages, messages can turn into masterpieces. "You deserve to believe in yourself." So, the challenge becomes - Believe in yourself! Until you do, keep going until you get there! You can find Dusty on social media or go to horse to heart connections to engage is what she is doing.
Episode 120 is for every parent who has kids and every person who works with kids! Stop yelling at your kids is the first thing you'll hear Celia Kibler tell us, but replacing it with laughter is the rest of the story. Celiasbooks.com and her program "pumped up parenting" will quickly make her one of your new heroes.
Episode 119 Stacy and Boyd talk about the significance of rest. None of us like to do it simply because we have a lot to get done. But, without it, we will never get done the things that matter most. We want to encourage you to take a minute and breath, sit down in your favorite chair and breath. It only takes a minute of rest to make your moments more meaningful.
Our Episode today comes all the way from Jerusalem. We met a wonderful person who has extraordinary heroes in her life and is being a hero in the lives she touches.

Can you adapt without compromising who you are?
It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's just Chris Gordon hanging out with us for Episode 115. Not only does Chris dress up like a superhero, he is one simply by what he does daily for others.

Have you ever not said something when you wish you had? Did you know that, at times, being silent speaks louder than words? It's time to be silent to listen!
Episode 109 is a fantastic conversation with our friend, Leonel Urbina. Even though music has taken him around the world and his current business is thriving, the greatest title to have is "dad". Leonel talks with us also about his hero and the importance of the Golden Rule. Leonel is truly a servant-leader worth listening to.
Episode 108 is in one word, unique. Stacy and Boyd have a wonderful conversation with the one and only William Brown. Did you know that each of us can be considered "the one and only?" You are uniquely made in the image of God. William says it this way, "When you show up a piece of God shows up." William can be reached at onewordconnection.com
Episode 107 is a chance to tackle the word "sincere". What does being sincere look like? What does it sound like? It really is true that "people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care." Is your caring for others sincere?

If I asked you the question, "What makes an everyday hero?", what would your answer be? To finally get the cape? Or, would it be the title you've worked for or the bank account you've strived for? To be honest, there are only 2 things a person needs to be an everyday hero. Hardwork and dedication!! Chris Luehr's hero modeled it - Chris does it daily! In this Episode Chris encourages us to do the same. chrisluehr.com.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!! The most important things in life aren't things! This is not only a GREAT Episode for Christmas, but for every day that follows! Here are a few 'gifts' that Mike extends to us in the short time we had with him: Gift 1 - "Service is everything!" Gift 2 - 'Others 1st'. Gift 3 - "Your cup is never empty when you fill others".
