    EPI #28 - Sultan Mansa Musa's Keys To Building Wealth | Jeff Buehner, Author

    My guest today on the Everything Matters Podcast (http://www.theempodcast.com) is Author and storyteller, Jeff Buehner. Jeff joins us to share the fascinating story of Sultan Mansa Musa of Mali. Sultan Musa was one of the richest men to ever walk the earth, and he was also very generous in sharing his wealth secrets with anyone who showed interest. A very kind lady at whose home Jeff was pouring concrete as a contractor, after hearing him complain about the life he had, she handed him a manuscript and gave him 24 hours to read and return it. What he found inside were the Sultan's 7 Secrets, which was an incredible story about the life of a man that he'd never heard before that would change his life forever. After this experience, Jeff always knew that had an obligation to share the gift of the Sultan’s Seven Secrets with as many people as possible before I retire, and he has now made it my personal mission to share these secret's as far as he possibly can. He couldn’t just say “Thanks” for this priceless gift that had been given him and then wander off into the sunset. Nor was it enough to have shared this information with the hundreds of people who had approached him for advice over the years. After experiencing the massive shift his life underwent, having been frustrated, uncertain and even scared before discovering the Sultan’s Seven Secrets, he was transformed into a bold, confident, ultra-successful person. He knew that it was critical that he get  spread this information far and wide to everyone who could take advantage of it. Jeff knew he couldn’t quit until he’d presented this information to literally everyone who would avail themselves of it and his passion is what drove him to write a book about it - Sultan's 7 Secrets (https://sultans7secrets.com/sales-page-with-checkout1661498096110). Enjoy this amazing story of transformation, and perhaps you will find a secret of the Sultan that could change your life for the better, forever!

    EPI #25 - Black Death In America: The Murder Epidemic | Coach Fitz Hill

    This episode of the Everything Matters Podcast couldn't be more special to me, as I have the opportunity to reconnect with one of my favorite coaches in college. Coach Fitz Hill was a graduate assistant in 1988 at my college Alma Mater, Northwestern State University, in Natchitoches, Louisiana. As an 18 year-old young man attending college there in a strange corner of the state of Louisiana. Being a 6 hours drive away from home, there was nothing I needed more than support, guidance, and a swift kick in the ass to help keep a hard-headed boy like me in line. Coach Fitz, along with a few other coaches of mine, provided just that and made a big impact on me.  He was like a big brother to me, and showed us how to conduct ourselves in certain situations. They all played an integral role in shaping me into the man I would become in life. In this show, I take the opportunity to acknowledge Coach Fitz for the contributions he made to me at a very pivotal point in my life. The youngest of three brothers, Coach Fitz Hill was born and raised in Arkadelphia, Arkansas. His father, James, routinely worked 14-hour days as a production manager at Arkadelphia Beverage Company in the daytime and janitor in the nighttime. His mother, Mary, was a high school registrar and volunteered with local children and college students at her church. Coach  Fitz earned an athletic scholarship to play football at Northeast Louisiana University in Monroe,  and played Wide Receiver. After the untimely passing of his father, he transferred back  home to support his mother. After graduating from Ouachita Baptist, he joined the U.S. Army and served during the Gulf War as a transportation officer, supporting American troops during Desert Shield and Desert Storm wars; during this time he received the Bronze Star (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronze_Star) and Commendation Medal. He earned a double major  from Ouachita College - a B.A. in Communications and Physical Education. A Master's in Student Personnel Services from Northwestern State University while working there as a Graduate Assistant coach. He also holds his Ed.D from the University of Arkansas. He held assistant a head coaching positions at University of Arkansas and San Jose State, and assistant positions at Utah State, University of Arkansas, Northwestern State. To read more about his illustrious career and accomplishments, go here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitz_Hill). It is such an honor to be connecting with him as men, and after all the years past, to discuss one of the most important topics of our time.
