The TALEN†S Podcast is for creatives, entrepreneurs, and anyone tired of playing small with what they’ve been given.
If you’ve ever felt the tension between making a living and making a difference…If you know you’re built for more but not sure where to start…If you care about impact, integrity, and building something that lasts…
You’re in the right room.
We’re here to change the way you see money, work, and identity. Not as things you chase, but tools you steward.
Through unfiltered conversations with artists, builders, and everyday visionaries, we’re unpacking how trust is the real currency, authenticity is the new strategy, and your life is your loudest brand.
Because success without alignment isn’t success.And money without meaning won’t move you.
This is about real work, real stories, and building a life that actually feels like yours.
She Finds the World's Best Talent for a Living - Shine Thomas
Her whole job is finding the best people on earth. Adidas, Nike, now Specialized. You'd think someone at the top of that game would tell you to chase the title. She says the opposite. Chase the calling. Protect your peace. Be who you were made to be, and don't wait for things to come to you. This is Shine Thomas. If you caught the episode with her husband Ranji, you already know this family. Part two does not disappoint Follow Cody Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/cody.d.williams/ YouT...

He Advises the Most Trusted Names in the World. He Won't Send an Invoice.
Im very excited about this guest Ranjy Tomas! Top artists save him in their phone as Uncle Ranjy. A few of them thought it was a term before they found out it was a person. His fingerprints are on some of the biggest names in music and ministry, and he refuses to send an invoice for most of it. In this one he gets into anticipating the need, walking with people in their lowest moments, and why he plays for the decade instead of the single. Follow Ranjy Instagram → https://www.ins...

The Foundation Under 35 Years of Creative Work — Noah Elias
Noah Elias has spent 35 years building the kind of creative career most people think isn't possible. He's painted for Disney, Lucasfilm, and Lexus. He was voted one of the top 25 artists in the world. He's built companies, written books, and coached entrepreneurs for decades. But this conversation isn't really about the résumé.

Possibly the Most Interesting Man You've Never Heard Of
Mark is one of the most quietly remarkable people I’ve ever known and in this conversation he shares the kind of wisdom that only comes from lived out experience. We go deep on identity. What proximity to large sums of money actually does to a person. The real cost of mastery. Why most people are knocking on doors they were never meant to open and one question that reframed everything for me: “Every person lives their life from an identity — whether they admit it or not. It will affec...

And the moment my daughter looked at me and said — Dad. I trust you. Juice boxes included. This one's for the dads. Get Your Protein Juice B...

YOU’RE SO STRONG- She Became a Widow, a Single Mom, and a Solo Business Owner Overnight
My next guest is Leslie Harter-Berg! She Became a Widow, a Single Mom, and a Solo Business Owner Overnight. No warning. No diagnosis. No time to prepare. Just a pool in Palm Springs, two kids under three, and a suitcase she didn't unpack for two years. She built a company anyway. Raised her boys. Wrote a book. And made me laugh harder than I expected to in a conversation about grief. Her book is called You're So Strong. It's not a compliment. It's the thing everybody said when they didn't k...
