Have you ever felt the headwinds of life or work push you down — instead of using them to lift you higher? In this episode, guest Nolan recalls sitting in a dim‑lit theater in 2018, hearing the song “A Million Dreams,” and feeling a powerful pull toward a bigger purpose. That moment cracked open a vision for a life where work and heart intersect. From producing video at Virginia Tech Athletics to traveling Washington, D.C., speaking at corporate conferences, and ultimately founding A Million Dreams, Nolan’s journey asks a bold question: what if your setbacks become the very lift you need to soar?

As a leader, he teaches that true success is not just profit or promotion. It’s listening when others don’t speak, seeing potential where others see only problems, and giving people space to bring their whole selves to work. If you care about the impact of your leadership — whether you’re managing a team, leading a company, or simply striving to be a better human — this conversation gives you tools to build a workplace where people feel valued, connected, and motivated to show up as their best selves.

P.S. Take a moment after listening. Ask yourself: where can I listen more today? Who in my world needs that little lift to take off against their headwinds?

Guest Bio
Nolan is the founder of A Million Dreams. What started as a quiet moment watching a film in college became a mission — merging storytelling, human connection, and leadership wisdom.

“I lived with a shame cloud for 41 years.”

What if the weight you carry isn’t yours to bear forever? In this episode, you meet Jill Schultz — a woman who lived under a “shame cloud” for 41 years, hiding a deeply painful secret while building businesses, pouring wine, and showing up with a smile. As a child, Jill experienced sexual trauma and spent decades acting, hiding, and believing she was alone in her pain. Then one day, she dared to whisper the truth aloud. In that moment, something shifted. Through healing, faith, and community, she discovered that vulnerability can be a doorway to freedom. Her story reminds us that trauma does not define our worth, and what was once buried can become the spark that lights the path for others.

If you have ever felt unworthy, stuck, or silenced — know this: your voice matters. Your pain does not disqualify you from purpose, power, and connection. Take one step today: reach out, share with someone you trust, or simply say to yourself “I am not alone.”

P.S. If you are ready to step out of the shadows and into healing, consider checking out Jill’s book or join her community — there is strength in connection and courage in conversation.

Guest Bio
Jill Schultz is a survivor, healer, connector, and purpose‑driven entrepreneur. For decades she carried a hidden burden of childhood abuse and toxic shame — a cloud that dimmed her sense of worth and muffled her voice. Through faith, therapy, and bold honesty, she reclaimed her story. Now she dedicates her life to opening safe spaces for others to heal. She is the author of Liberated: Releasing the Dark Cloud of Shame, advocate for survivors, and curator of powerful community gatherings. Jill’s mission: transform pain into purpose and silence into solidarity.

Have you ever felt so broken that you couldn’t imagine rising again? Today’s episode opens with a heart‑wrenching confession: what began as a family’s darkest hour — a child’s suicide attempt — became the spark that ignited a radical transformation. Colleen Greco joins me to share how she turned gut‑wrenching pain into a mission of healing, joy, and service.

Colleen’s story begins as a scared, shattered parent living through an unthinkable crisis. Overweight, numbed by grief, and struggling under the weight of shame and helplessness, she found herself spiraling. But when she realized she couldn’t help her son or her family until she healed herself, everything shifted. (You can almost feel the cold Boston wind on her lawn the day she decided to change.)

Through that pain she discovered the SNAP Method — a simple, powerful process for confronting trauma, uncovering limiting beliefs, and choosing joy. As she walked us through Stop, Notice, Accept & Analyze, Practice Gratitude — she showed how healing begins not from outside help, but from within. And as her internal world healed, her relationships, business, and purpose aligned.

This episode isn’t just a story. It’s an invitation: What old wound are you carrying today? What limiting belief are holding you back? And if you dared to heal yourself first, what kind of impact could you create — joy, nourishment, love, connection — for others?

If you’re ready to reconnect with your humanity, lead with a servant’s heart, and build a life and business rooted in love and impact, this conversation will move you.

P.S. The moment you choose compassion over comfort, something shifts. Let this episode be the turning point you didn’t know you were waiting for.

Guest Bio
Colleen Greco is a healer, coach, and passionate believer in the power of joy. After a family crisis forced her to confront her own pain, she discovered the SNAP Method — a heartfelt framework helping individuals break free from trauma, limiting beliefs, and self‑doubt. Today she guides others toward healing, self‑love, and intentional service. Her work is a testament to one simple truth: when you heal yourself first, you gain the power to transform lives with a servant’s heart.

What if the biggest return on education isn’t just a diploma, but financial peace and real choice for your family. In this episode of Doing Business With a Servant’s Heart, Steve Ramona sits down with college‑planning expert Brad Baldridge. Brad shares how many families dive into college planning too late and end up scrambling — financially and emotionally. He unpacks what he calls “late stage college planning” — the critical stretch in high school when you visit schools, submit applications, apply for aid, and figure out how to pay for it all without wrecking your future.

Listeners will follow a family’s journey: starting as wide‑eyed parents when their child is a toddler, then inching into reality when high school begins. Brad paints vivid scenes — from college campus tours that feel overwhelming, to the nerve‑racking nights of figuring out financial aid. He walks through real numbers — 27,000 per year for state colleges, 57,000 for private institutions — and explains how without planning those numbers can crush a family’s hopes. He shows why every decision matters: when to save, what to report, how to balance income, assets, and eligibility for merit or need‑based aid.

By the end of the episode you’ll understand that college isn’t just a decision — it’s a journey that deserves strategic, compassionate guidance. Whether your child is five or already filling out applications, this conversation could change how you view higher education forever.

P.S. If you care about your child’s future financial freedom and want clarity instead of chaos as college approaches, listen closely and take notes now.

Guest Bio
Brad Baldridge is a seasoned financial advisor and college‑planning strategist who’s helped over 300 families navigate the confusing landscape of college costs and financial aid. With a calm, practical approach and nearly two decades of experience, Brad guides parents to ask tough questions early, align their finances with their values, and protect their future without sacrificing their dreams for their children. He believes education is a service worth treating with the same care and respect we give to other life‑changing investments.
