In this deeply moving episode, Joey Pinz sits down with Ray Bezarez, a Navy veteran, former associate pastor, and passionate people-helper, to explore a life marked by faith, hardship, healing, and hope. From scrubbing urinals in the Navy to building churches and comforting widows, Ray's journey is a masterclass in humility and leadership.

Ray shares the impact of grief after losing his wife—the love of his life—and how years of pain eventually gave way to healing through scripture and service.

But this episode isn’t all serious. Ray—aka "Old Wolf"—also shares how playing Call of Duty connects him to younger generations and keeps his reflexes sharp. It’s an honest, inspiring, and often humorous look at what it means to keep growing, no matter your age or past.

 

✅ Top 3 Highlights:

 1. 🕊️ Ray’s powerful lessons on faith and healing after the death of his wife
 2. 🎮 How video games connect generations—and Ray’s gamer tag: “Old Wolf”
 3. 🔥 A real talk on transformation: weight loss, quitting smoking, and living with purpose

#635 Ray Bezarez: ⚓ From Navy Lessons to Life Ministry: Ray’s Journey

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1828906/open_sms]

In this enriching episode, Joey Pinz meets Russell Graham, a 76-year-old fragrance entrepreneur and teacher of self-discipline. Their conversation, held at the Winthrop Market, dives into more than just scent—it explores the power of mindset, personal growth, and community upliftment.

Russell traces his aromatic journey back to the incense-rich days of the 1960s, sharing how smell became both his business and his method for connecting with people. He believes the right fragrance can change how others see you—and more importantly, how you see yourself.

But there’s more to Russell’s story. He’s also an educator who teaches classes on self-discipline and anger management, especially for those within the prison industrial complex. With a master’s degree earned at age 60 (summa cum laude), Russell proves that personal reinvention has no age limit. His motivation? Life—and his 19 grandchildren.

Whether it’s how to choose the right scent or how to stay out of trouble, Russell brings wisdom, humility, and focus to every topic.

 

✅ Top 3 Highlights:

 1. 🧠 Why fragrance is about more than scent—it’s about energy and identity
 2. 🔁 Russell’s work teaching self-discipline to incarcerated individuals
 3. 🎓 How he earned a master’s degree at 60 to live out his mission

#637 Russell Graham: 🧴 Scent & Structure: A Life Built on Fragrance and Focus

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1828906/open_sms]

In this impactful conversation recorded live at the Winthrop Market, Joey Pinz interviews Charles Jacobs—a 70-year-old veteran, mentor, and creator of a system he calls the “Line of Transition.” Developed during his military years and refined through mentorship with local youth, this framework helps guide people through key life stages—from finishing high school to choosing college, Job Corps, military service, or independence.

Charles shares how this life-mapping strategy has helped countless teens and young adults navigate complex decisions, especially those without mentorship at home. He recounts how he distributed hand-drawn GPA and goal charts to groups of kids in Brandon and how decades later, some still knock on his door asking for them.

With sharp insights on responsibility, social structure, and staying active in aging, Charles speaks to the power of purpose. His personal battles—including surviving cancer—add emotional weight to his belief that independence, positivity, and self-discipline are key ingredients for long-term success.

 

✅ Top 3 Highlights:

 1. 📊 The “Line of Transition” framework—built to guide young lives with clarity and purpose
 2. 🧠 The value of surrounding yourself with mentors and achievers
 3. 💪 Charles' powerful story of overcoming cancer and teaching leadership through adversity

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1828906/open_sms]

In this enlightening and heartfelt episode, Joey Pinz sits down with Dr. Kristen Williamson—founder of EmpowerMind Solutions and a passionate advocate for neurodivergent adults. Diagnosed with ADHD at 37 and autism at 39, Dr. Kristen calls her brain “neuro-spicy”—a term that perfectly captures her vibrant mix of insight, humor, and self-awareness.
Together, they explore the complexities of being late-diagnosed, how masking and scripting impact daily life, and why traditional “one-size-fits-all” approaches often fail neurodivergent individuals. She offers real-life strategies to manage time, sensory overload, and emotional energy using tools like spoon theory, supportive routines, and self-compassion.
From her love of cats (they understand consent best!) to her fascination with brains and puzzles, Dr. Kristen brings relatable wisdom that challenges stigmas and redefines what thriving can look like.

✨ Top 3 Episode Highlights:
1. 🔄 The tension between ADHD spontaneity and autism structure—and how to make them work together
2. 🧃 Real talk on sensory overload, spoon theory, and making daily tasks manageable
3. 🐾 Why cats, puzzles, and coffee are more than just hobbies—they’re lifelines

In this powerful episode recorded live at the Winthrop Market, Joey Pinz welcomes Joel Chudnow, a 78-year-old natural hygiene educator with 36 years of experience and a story that’s as inspiring as it is practical. Joel opens up about his battle with psoriatic arthritis, the dismissive treatment he received from the traditional medical system, and how that moment became the turning point in his life.

Joel shares his wellness pillars—meditation, movement, hydration, and gratitude—and how he uses them to maintain health and help others do the same.

The episode also touches on trauma recovery, mental wellness, and how acupuncture has supported his healing after Hurricane Milton left him displaced. Joel’s motto is clear: focus on gaining health, not losing weight. If you want a dose of hard-earned wisdom, this is your episode.

 

✅ Top 3 Highlights:

 1. 🧬 How a health crisis led Joel to a lifetime of holistic education
 2. 📻 His impact through teaching and 923+ health-focused radio shows

#834 Joel Chudnow: 🌱 The Wellness Blueprint: One Man’s Path to Healing & Teaching

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1828906/open_sms]

In this heartfelt episode recorded live at the Winthrop Market, Joey Pinz has a powerful conversation with Michael Johnson—one filled with wisdom, culture, and legacy. Michael dives into the Gullah language, recently recognized as a distinct linguistic heritage spoken by over 250,000 people in South Carolina’s Lowcountry. Rooted in African and Caribbean traditions, Gullah isn’t just a dialect—it’s a cultural treasure that’s slowly fading without active preservation.

Michael shares why Gullah has often been misunderstood or dismissed, and how institutions like the Smithsonian and Harvard are working to document and study it. He also reflects on today’s generational divides and expresses deep concern for the future of young African-American males.

The episode concludes with personal stories of family, legacy, and love. Michael speaks candidly about what motivates him: his grandchildren and the desire to leave behind more than wealth—something deeply human and irreplaceable.

This is more than an interview—it’s a tribute to heritage, love, and purpose.

 

✅ Top 3 Highlights:

 1. 💬 Explanation of Gullah language and its cultural roots
 2. 📉 Insight on how societal views caused its decline—and why it must be preserved
 3. ❤️ Reflections on legacy, love, and what truly defines success
