In this episode of the Everyday Warrior Podcast, Jay sits down with Master Chief Lamard Wingster to talk about the journey that shaped his mastery in martial arts — discipline, mentorship, and the lessons that carry off the mat and into everyday life.

He was staring down 44 years in prison — and that moment became the turning point that broke a cycle of addiction, absence, and pain that had followed his family for generations.

On this episode of the Everyday Warrior Podcast, Jay sits down with Franklin Turner — husband, father, pastor, and founder of Franklin Turner Ministries — for a raw, unfiltered conversation about growing up in a home shaped by addiction, losing his mother young, facing decades behind bars, and finding God in his father's basement. Frank opens up about rejection, rebuilding trust, protecting his family's legacy, and the courage it took to write his upcoming memoir, It Ends With Me.

Before they were building wealth, they were building each other up on the football field. In this episode of The Everyday Warrior Podcast, Jay Henderson sits down with his lifelong friend and former teammate Marcus Sturdivant Sr. for an honest conversation about brotherhood, discipline, and the road from Friday Night Lights to financial freedom.

Marcus opens up about his journey in financial services, why he never invests in anything he doesn't understand, how families can build stronger savings habits, and the real role life insurance plays in protecting a legacy. Along the way, Jay and Marcus reflect on a friendship that started as teammates and has lasted a lifetime, and why showing up for the people you love matters as much as showing up for your money.

If you're ready to rethink your relationship with money, family, and purpose, this one's for you.
