Stories Across the Table Podcast

Inspired Journeys. Honest Conversations. Lasting Impact.

Stories Across the Table is a podcast where meaningful conversations unfold—one story at a time. Each episode brings guests from diverse backgrounds “across the table” to share the moments that shaped them: the challenges they faced, the lessons they learned, and the purpose that continues to guide their journey.

These are not scripted interviews. They are real, heartfelt discussions about life, business, leadership, faith, service, and the human experience. From entrepreneurs and leaders to everyday people doing extraordinary things, each guest offers insight that inspires growth, reflection, and connection.

Whether the conversation sparks courage, clarity, or compassion, Stories Across the Table reminds us that when we slow down, listen deeply, and learn from one another, transformation begins.

Pull up a chair. The table is set.

  • ANDREW ANDERSON: Vulnerability Is Your New Strength
    2026/08/06
    What does it mean to truly see someone? Not their résumé or their social media presence or the polished version they bring to every room, but the real person underneath, the one carrying the weight of old stories they have never been able to put down?That is the question at the heart of this episode of Stories Across the Table, and our guest Andrew Anderson has spent his life trying to answer it.Andrew is a breakthrough coach, and his gift is not something he named for himself. It took three close friends, huckleberry milkshakes, and a moment of honest conversation for him to hear it said out loud: Andrew, your superpower is that you see people. Once he sees someone, he says, he cannot unsee them. It does not live in his mind or even his heart. It lives somewhere deeper, in his soul, and from that place he goes to battle for the people who let him.In this conversation Andrew shares the story that shaped him. At 28 he was living in his parents' basement, convinced he had failed at the three things that mattered most to him as a husband, a father, and a teacher. He talks honestly about what it took to stop pitying that version of himself and start honoring him, and about the surprising realization that came out of that hard season. His life's mission was always bigger than any single role. It just took losing everything to see it.We also spend real time on what Andrew actually does with people in a breakthrough session. He describes it the way Michelangelo described sculpture, removing everything that is not already the person standing in front of him. He uses mental and emotional release therapy to help people let go of the beliefs and patterns that once kept them safe but have long since run their course. What takes traditional therapy months or years, Andrew works through in hours, by asking the questions no one else will ask and staying present long enough for people to finally feel safe enough to answer them honestly.He also tells the story behind his book, Strength of the Oak, Strength of the Willow, which came to him while he was standing knee deep in the Virgin River at Zion National Park, overcome by something he still struggles to put into words. He just knew, standing there in the water looking up at those red rocks, that he was supposed to write it.Andrew closes the conversation with something that has stayed with us. He talks about watching his three-year-old son run out to greet him in the garage after a morning bike ride and seeing in that little face everything we are all born with and so often forget. Curiosity. Love. Reckless abandon. That, he says, is the invitation for all of us.BIO:Everybody yearns to have at least one person in their life who believes in them; that they can do what they say they can do, who believes they can be the person they want to be. Andrew L. Anderson is that person. As an Executive Breakthrough Coach, Andrew helps high-performers break through inner limitations and reconnect with their true identity and deeply rooted spiritual purpose. He is a devoted husband to his wife and a present father of seven. Andrew leads with bold truth, authentic compassion, and uncanny intuition, helping others awaken to the divine strength and infinite potential within them.andrewlanderson.comYouTube: @StoriesAcrossTheTable https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHPeekMqKYjBAwO28gLSvRABridget’s Free Community - Inspired Writers Clubhouse for Writers and Authors: https://www.inspiredwritersclubhouse.comBridget’s Free Newsletter: https://www.yourinspiredstory.com/newsletter Steve’s Free Community: https://www.skool.com/steve-ramona-community-9836Steve’s Free Newsletter: https://doing-business-with-a-servants-heart.kit.com/steveramonaSteve’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/steveramona/’Bridget’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mbridgetcookburch/ Steve’s X/Twitter: https://x.com/oppbrokerBridget’s X/Twitter: @inspiritwriter Steve’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bizopportunitynow/Bridget’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bridgetcookburch/ Substack: https://p...

  • ALLICIA JOHNSON NILES: Uncovering The Truth About Her Dad's Murder
    2026/08/04
    In this episode of Stories Across the Table, Bridget Cook-Burch and Steve Ramona welcome Allicia Johnson Niles, advocate, author in progress, and the surviving daughter of Lieutenant Junior Grade Burr N. Johnson III, who was killed by homicide in the US Navy at Pearl Harbor when Allicia was two years old.Allicia grew up not knowing the full story of her father's death. Society told her she was lucky not to remember him. But she felt him, in songs that caught her off guard, in a quiet sense of guidance that grew harder to ignore over the years. When she finally began to investigate, the Navy said no. She kept going anyway. Over a year of determined digging, she tracked down her father's shipmates, pieced together what happened in that tiny wardrobe room, and eventually found Tony Gusty, the man who had tried to save her father's life and had never spoken of it to anyone. Their conversation healed them both.What she discovered went far deeper than she expected. There was cover-up, conspiracy, and a cast of characters that kept the story unfolding even as she was writing it. Through all of it, she carried complex PTSD and anxiety she had only learned to name in her thirties, and she moved forward anyway.Her memoir, Angel in Arlington, written with Bridget Cook-Burch, is a story of unlikely courage and a powerful argument that grief does not expire, love does not end, and you do not have to wait for the fear to go away before you begin.Pull up a chair for a conversation about the fathers we never knew, the courage it takes to find the truth, and the healing that becomes possible when we finally stop running from our own story.BIO: Allicia Johnson Niles is an author and speaker with a profound message of hope.From childhood, her entire life was affected by her father’s murder while he was serving in the U. S. Navy. Deep-rooted grief and curiosity caused her to seek the truth behind the conspiracies aboard the USS Richard S Edwards and her father’s death. Suddenly she felt an intense connection with her father on almost a daily basis.As she learned to act upon specific messages, miracles, answers, healing, and forgiveness flooded into her life like a tidal wave. She not only found peace for her own life, but also for over a dozen of her father’s Navy friends who had still been suffering the ramifications of the shooting.Feeling the same urging from her father to reveal their story with those who have lost loved ones and who desire continued connection, Allicia shares her personal understanding of PTSD, terrors, feelings of inadequacy and a sense of abandonment. She is passionate about helping others, particularly Military widows and orphans, to embrace grief and truth, instead of running from it. Her deeper message of hope is that our lost loved ones surround us daily, cheering us on as we find meaning in life.​Allicia is proud of the veterans in her family, including four grandparents, her father, and her sister-in-law. Her understanding heart, quirky sense of humor, and unconquerable determination have opened doors and created life-changing connections that continue to be blessings. A nationally sought-after speaker, Allicia Johnson Niles works in marketing and leadership development. She is a devout Christian who feels a deep sense of family connection, and strives to help others feel hope and confidence in their own lives. She is a part of the TAPS movement (Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors) for military families to share the process of deep and effective healing.Website: https://www.angelinarlington.comYouTube: @StoriesAcrossTheTable https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHPeekMqKYjBAwO28gLSvRABridget’s Free Community - Inspired Writers Clubhouse for Writers and Authors: https://www.inspiredwritersclubhouse.comBridget’s Free Newsletter: https://www.yourinspiredstory.com/newsletter Steve’s Free Community: https://www.skool.com/steve-ramona-community-9836Steve’s Free Newsletter: https://doing-business-with-a-servants-heart.kit.com/steveramonaSteve’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/steveramona/’Bridget’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mbridgetcookburch/ Steve’s X/Twitter: https://x.com/oppbrokerBridget’s X/Twitter: @inspiritwriter Steve’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bizopportunitynow/Bridget’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bridgetcookburch/ Substack: https://p...

  • JASON PALMER: What I Learned Training Triple Crown Horses & Forging Your Inner Winner
    2026/07/30

    In this episode of Stories Across the Table, Bridget Cook-Burch and Steve Ramona welcome Jason Palmer, professional horseman, coach, and author of The Finish Line, a man who found his way back to himself through the one relationship that never required him to be anything other than who he was.

    At ten years old, Jason survived a life-threatening chainsaw accident that left him disfigured and, in the years that followed, a target for relentless bullying. His parents, watching him withdraw from the world, introduced him to competing on horses. What he discovered in that arena changed everything. Horses never judged him. They looked straight through to who he was, and in that space of unconditional acceptance, Jason found he could not only compete but win. Eventually the bullying stopped, because the same people who once mocked him needed him to do what he did best.

    He went on to ride as a jockey from age fourteen, training and racing some of the fastest horses in the country alongside legendary figures in the industry, before retiring at twenty-four and eventually finding his next calling in the reining horse world. Over a career spanning decades, Jason estimates he has ridden more than thirty thousand horses, each one teaching him something about trust, patience, and the art of rebuilding a broken spirit.

    His book, written with Bridget Cook-Burch and Hannah Lyon, reached someone he had never met just two weeks after it launched. That story, told here for the first time, is reason enough to listen.

    Pull up a chair for a conversation about finding your footing in a world that knocked you down, and the extraordinary things that happen when you choose to keep going.
