  • Called to Build: Faith, Real Estate, and Legacy with Stace Jones
    2025/07/23

    God. Wife. Children. Family. Team. For Stace Jones, these aren’t just values, they’re the blueprint for a meaningful life.

    As Owner and CEO of Christian Pre-School Centers, Inc., Stace leads with grit, grace, and a deep love for his people. His journey began with a legacy of obedience, when his mother unexpectedly inherited a preschool after the owner felt called in a different direction. She didn’t have a business plan, just a heart to serve and a vision to nurture children in a Christ-centered environment.

    That simple “yes” became the foundation for what is now a multi-campus legacy of faith, education, and excellence.

    Stace stepped in years later, not just to continue that legacy, but to grow it with excellence, intentionality, and vision. His heart for children extends far beyond the walls of his own schools. He serves on the board of the Texas Licensed Child Care Association (TLCCA), where he was honored with the Ruth Blessing Award for servant leadership. He’s walked the halls of the Capitol, advocating for policies that support educators, children, and the long-term health of early childhood education in Texas.

    In every role, husband, father, CEO, investor, advocate, Stace is guided by faith and fueled by purpose. And in 2018, when faced with a personal challenge that required brain surgery due to Arnold Chiari malformation, that foundation held strong. Surrounded by his wife Krista, their children, and a deeply supportive community, Stace came through with even greater clarity, gratitude, and drive.

    Stace is known for his resilience, his deep compassion, and his strategic mind. He’s not just a leader who works hard, he’s one who builds wisely. Every decision he makes is rooted in his faith, backed by diligence, and shaped by long-term thinking. He knows that legacy doesn’t happen by accident, it’s built, one intentional step at a time.

    That same mindset carries into real estate. As President of Jones Brothers Properties, a company he co-founded with his brother, what started as a single rental snowballed into a diverse portfolio of residential and commercial properties across Texas. Stace approaches every project with a clear plan, a sharp eye for opportunity, and the patience to build well.

    On this episode of The Wealth Blueprint, Stace shares how smart, strategic stewardship, guided by faith and built on love, can transform lives, businesses, and communities. From classrooms to closings, his story is one of purpose, perseverance, and building a legacy that lasts.

  • From Cancer Survivor to Community Healer: The Story of Dr. Lindsey Johnson
    2025/07/16

    What happens when you look beyond treating symptoms and instead focus on optimizing your body's innate healing abilities? Dr. Lindsey Johnson, a chiropractic doctor specializing in acupuncture and holistic health approaches, shares powerful insights that might forever change how you view wellness.

    Beyond the adjustment table, Dr. Johnson reveals why chiropractic care should be viewed as nervous system optimization rather than mere pain management. "Eight to ten percent of the nervous system's function is pain," she explains, while the rest controls every cellular function in your body. This understanding transforms chiropractic from a reactive treatment to a proactive approach for better adaptation to life's physical, chemical, and emotional stressors.

    The conversation explores fascinating connections between seemingly disconnected health elements: how gut health affects mood and cognition, how inflammation drives disease, and how modern innovations like peptide therapy work with your body's natural systems rather than against them. Dr. Johnson demystifies treatments from acupuncture (using a brilliant traffic jam analogy) to AMIT muscle activation that has helped professional athletes recover from seemingly career-ending injuries.

    Most inspiring is Dr. Johnson's personal journey through cancer, where she discovered the transformative power of mindset work. Her morning routine of gratitude journaling and positive affirmations didn't just help her survive—it helped her find meaning and purpose through her challenge. "I am a better doctor now," she reflects. "I truly take that experience as something I was meant to go through to help others later."

    Whether you're battling chronic health issues, seeking performance optimization, or simply want to ensure your best health for decades to come, this episode offers practical wisdom on building sustainable wellness habits. Listen now to discover why Dr. Johnson believes that "your body already has everything it needs" to heal and thrive.

  • Family, Faith, and Future: How Victoria Whitehead Is Shaping Lubbock's Development
    2025/07/09

    When Victoria Whitehead was just eleven years old, her father had a heart attack that changed their family's trajectory. Recognizing the precariousness of their situation, he established a forward-thinking estate plan that gave each child ownership of semi-trucks and trailers leased back to the family business. This early entrepreneurial education would shape Victoria's approach to both business and family planning for decades to come.

    Now an attorney, policymaker, and CEO of the West Texas Home Builders Association, Victoria brings a wealth of experience from working at both the Texas Legislature and in Washington DC. Her journey reveals the stark differences between policy-making in these environments and why the Texas approach tends to foster more collaboration and practical solutions.

    What makes West Texas special? It's a question that weaves throughout this conversation. Victoria articulates how Lubbock's growth stems from more than just business-friendly policies and tax advantages. The region offers a unique combination of economic resilience, affordable housing, strong infrastructure, and most importantly, a community that genuinely cares about its future. Unlike larger metropolitan areas where posturing often replaces action, Victoria describes how West Texas maintains its "cowboy spirit" – a commitment to hard work, integrity, and reinvesting in the community.

    The discussion also explores Victoria's innovative approach to estate planning for her own children, her leadership philosophy centered on purpose rather than accomplishments, and how she manages the delicate balance between professional ambition and family life. For anyone interested in community development, family wealth planning, or understanding what makes certain regions thrive while others struggle, this conversation offers valuable insights from someone who's both shaping policy and living its results firsthand.
