"Are you navigating transformation alone when the fabric of community is waiting to hold you?"
What happens when you refuse to stay trapped? Leann Rose Crook shares her journey through eight major life transformationsâfrom single mom on welfare to salon owner to leading 50 men in Iraq's desert. Her message? "You are absolutely good enough." Not because of achievements. Simply because you're human. Leann reveals the grade five moment that sparked her lifelong purpose, the profound realization that "we are all the same" she discovered on tribal floors in Iraq, and a simple five-question exercise to identify your own purpose. Her story challenges the myth of going it alone. We're not meant to be independent threadsâwe're meant to weave ourselves into the fabric of community, especially during transformation.
Leann Rose Crook is a Transformation Mentor, Identity Recovery Coach, and founder of Lango Living. After navigating eight major life transformationsâfrom single mom on welfare to salon owner to leading occupational health and safety training for 50 men in IraqâLeann developed a practical six-step transformation system for women navigating major life change. Her keynote "Desert Rose in Iraq" draws from seven years working in Iraq and Oman. Today, Leann helps women who feel like everything has shiftedâdivorce, job loss, burnout, or relocationârebuild their identity, reclaim their power, and take ownership of their next chapter.About The Show: The Life in Transition, hosted by Art Blanchford focuses on making the most of the changes weâre given every week.

âI saw my father do it. So I have a better understanding on how to do it, how to serve, how to lead." - Barry Farmer
What happens when a decorated US Army veteran walks away from 23 years of service? Barry Farmer didn't slow downâhe discovered his true calling. After raising seven children and adopting three more, Barry threw himself into Jacksonville's nonprofit world, joining three boards and becoming a Human Rights Commissioner. But burnout led him to the Appalachian Trail. "When you feel useless, become useful to somebody," a hostel owner told him. That wisdom transformed everything. Barry's parents never preached servant leadershipâthey lived it. Now he's weaving a community fabric where isolated threads become something stronger together. His message? More than average isn't about salary. It's about heart.
Barry Farmer, trail name "Ambassador," is a retired US Army veteran with 23 years of honorable service, including completing Army Ranger School as one of three African Americans in his graduating class. After retiring as a major in 2021, Barry threw himself into Jacksonville community service, joining three nonprofit boards and serving as a Human Rights Commissioner (2022-2024). He completed Leadership Jacksonville Cohort 2024 and served as President of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity's Jacksonville chapter. A father to seven children and three adopted nieces/nephews, Barry completed the Appalachian Trail thru-hike in 2025, summiting on September 11th.

What happens when you give 50 peopleâfrom CEOs to recent college graduatesâequal voice in solving complex business problems? Rod Collins discovered the answer while leading the Blue Cross Blue Shield Federal Employee Program through its greatest five-year growth period in 65 years. "Nobody is smarter than everybody," Rod insists. He shares how staying silent when he thought the group was heading down the wrong path led to breakthrough solutions he never imagined. From eliminating air crashes through cockpit collaboration to preventing AI tyranny, Rod's "power with" approach revolutionized not just business results but how we think about leadership itself. Sometimes chaos first leads to the best order.
Rod Collins is an author, songwriter, and former business executive who pioneered collective intelligence leadership during his 33 years at the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association's Federal Employee Program. As Chief Operating Executive, he led the organization through its greatest five-year growth period in its 65-year history, achieving record-breaking financial and operational performance. His book "Nobody Is Smarter Than Everybody: Why Self-Managed Teams Make Better Decisions and Deliver Extraordinary Results" captures his revolutionary approach to power-with leadership. Now in semi-retirement, Rod writes books, monthly Substack columns, and music. Learn more at rodcollins.net.About The Show:

What would you discover about yourself if you lost everything you thought defined youâŠ
What happens when a 4x4 truck ends your professional running career at 20? Rob Rene found out. Then the pandemic took his corporate identity. Then came stage 3 melanoma. Three devastating transitions. Three chances to give up. Instead, Rob discovered faith isn't about Sunday churchâit's daily relationship with God. He researched our broken medical system, learned his cancer's specific mutation, and fought back naturally. Fourteen months later, his tumors have shrunk 50%. "Fighting cancer is about starving it and getting your immune system strong enough to attack." Rob now helps others through Exodus Strong and Biohackingville, merging biblical wisdom with modern science. His message: if you have breath in your lungs, God still has a plan.Rob Rene is a faith-based AI wellness futurist, founder of Exodus Strong and creator of Biohackingville. After a truck accident ended his professional running career at age 20, he spent 20+ years in corporate sales before the pandemic sparked his deep dive into holistic health research. Currently battling stage 3 melanoma naturally (tumors down 50% in 14 months), Rob merges biblical wisdom with modern science through his products and community. His work focuses on four pillars: red light therapy, frequency medicine, molecular hydrogen supplementation, and faith. He hosts the "I Am Pain Free Podcast" and lives with his blended family.

How do you choose peace when the world expects you to panic?
Michael Klassen, founder of the 5AM Podcast, shares his journey from senior broadcast producer to faith-fueled entrepreneur after an unexpected termination in October 2024. Despite nearly six years with the company, Michael walked out of the boardroom with peace, not panic. A prophetic dream months earlier had revealed this "better deal." His father taught him to make decisions based on what brings peace versus what steals itâwisdom that transformed crisis into opportunity. From farm responsibilities to launching a global podcast, Michael's story reveals how choosing peace, embracing hard things, and trusting divine guidance creates abundant life even in devastating transitions.Michael D. Klassen is the founder and host of the globally growing 5AM Podcast, dedicated to helping people transform their mornings and lives.

Raised on a farm where he learned responsibility and authenticity early, Michael's journey has been shaped by his lifelong faith walk beginning at age five. His approach combines practical wisdom with spiritual guidance to help listeners worldwide embrace new possibilities.
