In this episode of Roofing Road Trips®, Karen Edwards is joined by Brenda Perkins, an insurance advocacy consultant with Brava Roof Tile, to understand the shifting landscape of insurance and roofing with a focus on what contractors need to know right now. Brenda breaks down the current insurance climate, what it means when homeowners have new roofing coverage limitations and/or are categorized as higher risk or being non-renewed and why that matters to contractors. Listeners will hear why retail sales are becoming crucial for long-term success and will explore Brava's role in the Fortified program and how contractors can use it to strengthen their sales pitch. The discussion looks ahead at what roofing professionals should watch for in the next 12–24 months as regulations shift, and how getting involved with Brava can open doors to new opportunities and stronger business resilience.

The Fortified Life Podcast with Jason DavisEP 202 | Tamra Andress | The Founder Collective & Girls Gone Holy

The Fortified Life Podcast with Jason DavisEpisode 201: Purposeful Branding & Calling — with Career Coach Lori BeenRelease Date: SEPT. 3, 2025Host: Jason Davis (Mr. Fortified)Guest: Lori BeenOwner, Panache Career Coaching Services; career coach (25+ years), former university career services leader (Vanderbilt, Belmont), Amazon #1 bestselling author of Purposeful Branding: Discover how your gifts can help you get unstuck in your career and best serve others. Featured in The Wall Street Journal, Huffington Post, and Inc. Magazine. Ranked a Top 10 Coach in Nashville every year since 2017.Episode OverviewJason welcomes Lori Been for a practical, faith-forward conversation on vocation, transition, and designing work that serves others. Lori shares her journey from higher-ed career services into entrepreneurship in Nashville's music industry—blending image consulting, media/interview prep, and career coaching—and why she ultimately refocused on purpose-driven coaching for professionals navigating change. The centerpiece of the episode is Lori's framework from Purposeful Branding, which anchors your calling in identity in Christ, clarifies your gifts, defines your audience, and builds a brand that serves.What You'll LearnVocation ≠ Identity: Why Your Work Is Not Your Identity—and How Rooting Your Identity in Christ Protects You Against Idols of Career and Title.From Stifled to Strategic: Recognizing when creativity is being constrained, and practical steps to pivot with wisdom (networking, pilot projects, timing, and “who can I serve?”).Purposeful Branding (beyond logos): Start with gifts → who you serve → how you help → then visuals. Avoid jumping straight to color palettes and logos.Audience Clarity: How to identify the people best served by your natural strengths—often found in what feels “easy” or energizing to you.Transferable Skills: Why experiences across domains (universities, music industry, media coaching) compound and don't “reset” when you change lanes.Faith & Work: Insights from FCCI, the Gotham Program (Redeemer), mission work in the Amazon, and launching church-based vocation ministries.Women & Entrepreneurship: Lori's heart to equip Christian women to build businesses that serve their homes and communities—with schedules that fit real life.Standout Quotes“What you do is not who you are. Your identity is in Christ.”“Pay attention to what feels easy and life-giving—those gifts often point to who you're called to serve.”“Start with who you serve. Then build the brand to match.”“Not everyone can leap today—so prep a strategy now for when God opens the door.”Scripture ReferencesJeremiah 17:9 — Be cautious about “follow your heart”; seek God's wisdom first.Identity in Christ (theme) — Guard against making work an idol; let calling flow from who God says you are.Segment HighlightsOrigin Story & Calling — Early love for campus life; grad program in Higher Ed; decade in university career centers; pivot to Nashville entrepreneurship.Music Industry — Image & interview coaching for artists; networking through contact; lessons on authenticity and message.Purposeful Branding — The framework: gifts, audience, service, authenticity → THEN visuals.Work vs. Identity — Why Titles Shift, Seasons Change, and a Christ-Centered Identity Stabilizes Vocation.Faith & Work Ecosystem — FCCI, Gotham Program, church vocation ministry, Amazon missions.What's Next — A development program to help Christian women start businesses from a place of obedience, ownership, and service.Resources MentionedGuest Book: Purposeful Branding: Discover how your gifts can help you get unstuck in your career and best serve others — AmazonGuest Website: LoriBeen.comSocial: @PanacheCoaching (Facebook, Instagram, X)Jason's Book: Fortify: Being Rooted in God's Plan for Work and Business — AmazonShow Site: FortifiedLifePodcast.comYouTube: The Fortified Life (subscribe)Connect with Lori BeenWebsite: LoriBeen.comSocial: @PanacheCoaching (Facebook • Instagram • X)Connect with Jason Davis / The Fortified LifeWatch live: Wednesdays, 8:30 PM ETPodcast: Apple • Spotify • iHeartRadio (search “The Fortified Life Podcast”)YouTube: The Fortified LifeBook: Fortify on AmazonCalls to ActionListeners: Identify one task this week that energizes you and note who benefits most—then ask God for the next step to serve them better.Share: If this helped you, rate & review and share with a friend who's discerning a career shift.Subscribe: Don't miss new episodes that integrate faith, business, and finance for real-world impact.

Welcome back to To the Point Cybersecurity Podcast, brought to you by Forcepoint! In this week's episode, co-hosts Rachael Lyon and Jonathan Knepher continue their conversation with Russell Teague, CISO at Fortified Health Security and a contributor to the White House National Cybersecurity Healthcare Strategy. With over three decades of experience spanning healthcare, tech, pharma, and finance, Russell dives deep into the current state of cybersecurity in the healthcare sector.

Russell discusses the importance—and challenges—of moving toward a secure-by-design approach for medical devices, the complexities of third-party and even fourth- and fifth-party risk, and why building strong vendor relationships and risk management programs has never been more critical. Looking to the future, they also tackle the role of AI and workforce shortages in healthcare cybersecurity, highlighting how AI could help close the security gap and how new talent—whether from the military, clinics, or other backgrounds—can find a path into this essential field.

More contractors are building homes that are fortified more than just their roofs to make the buildings more resilient during storms and weather events. We talk with Alex Cary, Director of FORTIFIED Market Development at the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety, about this gold standard.

* President Trump is set to meet with Vladimir Putin later this week. What's likely to come of the meeting? * More contractors are building homes that are fortified more than just their roofs to make the buildings more resilient during storms and weather events.

A high-level, closed-door meeting on Jeffrey Epstein was reportedly being organized by Senator JD Vance and others on the Hill, intended to address lingering questions around Epstein's federal connections, financial enablers, and the failures of law enforcement and intelligence oversight. However, the meeting was abruptly postponed without public explanation, sparking speculation that political pressure or institutional interference may have played a role. For those hoping this signaled a real appetite for accountability, the delay reads less like scheduling logistics—and more like the first crack in another whitewashed attempt at “review.”Next up...Despite renewed calls for congressional accountability in the Epstein case, it's now been confirmed that none of the key DOJ figures tied to the 2007 Non-Prosecution Agreement—Alex Acosta, Michael Mukasey, or Mark Filip—will be subpoenaed. Their absence is not just conspicuous; it's damning. These are the men who greenlit, signed off on, or shielded the original sweetheart deal that let Epstein walk. If they're off-limits, what exactly is this investigation meant to uncover? Without their testimony, any so-called committee is little more than political theater—built to simulate scrutiny while protecting the architecture of the original cover-up.Next up...Following her transfer to the minimum-security Bryan Federal Prison Camp in Texas, Ghislaine Maxwell's conditions have reportedly changed—again. In contrast to the relatively relaxed environment that defines most federal prison camps, security around Maxwell has now been discreetly beefed up. Additional staff rotations, restricted movement during certain hours, and tighter monitoring protocols have been quietly implemented. The shift raises the question: If she's just another inmate serving time, why the sudden extra layers? Either she's not as low-risk as advertised, or someone's nervous about what—or who—might come calling.source:Congress doesn't want to talk to Alex Acosta, Epstein's 'sweetheart deal' makerVP Vance meeting to discuss Epstein fallout canceled, source says | ReutersGhislaine Maxwell's Texas ‘Club Fed' prison ups security after taking in Epstein sex trafficker | The Independent

Recent catastrophic events have left many insurance carriers questioning whether traditional building practices can withstand increasingly severe weather patterns, while homeowners struggle with rising premiums and reduced coverage options. New research from the University of Alabama provides compelling evidence that resilient construction standards not only protect homes during major storms but also deliver measurable financial benefits to property owners. Dr. Lars Powell, director of the Center for Risk and Insurance Research at the University of Alabama, joins Pete Miller, CEO of The Institutes, to discuss how the findings offer a data-driven roadmap for addressing one of the insurance industry's most persistent challenges. Dr. Powell shares insights into how FORTIFIED homes performed during Hurricane Sally, revealing surprising findings about damage claims and the frequency of trees falling on houses. The conversation also covers the positive reception of the research, the challenges in promoting resilience, and the keys to Alabama's success in implementing resilience measures. Powell emphasizes the need for further research into risk mitigation and the economic implications of disaster recovery.Resources:Center for Risk & Insurance Research website: https://crir.culverhouse.ua.edu/ Alabama's 2025 FORTIFIED research: https://crir.culverhouse.ua.edu/2025/05/19/performance-of-ibhs-fortified-hometm-construction-in-hurricane-sally/Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety: https://ibhs.org/ The Institutes: https://global.theinstitutes.org/Predict & Prevent website: https://www.predictandprevent.org/Sign up for our weekly Predict & Prevent newsletter: https://www.predictandprevent.org/newsletter/

This August marks twenty years since Hurricane Katrina. Today, we are bringing you a story we first aired in 2023. It's about a word heard everywhere after Hurricane Katrina. And people across the Gulf Coast have strong and complicated feelings about it. The word is resilient. A special thanks to Rob Verchick, author of The Octopus in the Parking Garage: A Call for Climate Resilience. And, to everyone who spent time with us for this story, from a construction site in rural Alabama to the streets of New Orleans' Gentilly neighborhood. Also, a big, big thank you to everyone who called in to give us their two cents on the word “resilient.”For more on the Strengthen Alabama Homes program, check out their website, along with more information on FORTIFIED homes from the Insurance Institute for Building and Home Safety.

The financial sector didn't just enable Jeffrey Epstein—they fortified him. For decades, elite institutions like JPMorgan Chase continued to do business with Epstein long after his 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor, ignoring internal warnings, compliance red flags, and credible allegations of abuse. High-ranking executives maintained close relationships, funneled vast sums through opaque accounts, and even joked about his grotesque proclivities in internal emails. Bankers helped him move millions across borders, granted him access to ultra-wealthy clients, and never asked the kind of questions they would demand from an average customer depositing a suspicious $10,000. These weren't oversights—they were decisions. Deliberate, profitable, and saturated with moral rot.At every turn, the financial institutions chose profit over principle. They ignored the trail of victims, the mountain of press coverage, and the glaring signs of criminality, all in exchange for Epstein's connections and capital. Even as civil suits piled up and survivors came forward, these firms were more concerned with protecting their reputations than cutting ties with a known predator. The result wasn't just a financial scandal—it was systemic complicity. The banks didn't just launder his money. They laundered his legitimacy, allowing him to continue operating as a global financier, when in truth he was running an empire built on exploitation and secrecy.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Show NotesPodcast Title: The Fortified Life Podcast with Jason DavisEpisode: 195Guest: Dr. Chinwé Williams – Trauma Therapist, Best-Selling Author, and SpeakerEpisode Title: Helping Kids and Teens Heal from Despair Through ConnectionSeries: Tools & ResourcesEpisode Summary:In this powerful episode of The Fortified Life Podcast, host Jason Davis welcomes Dr. Chinwé Williams, a trauma therapist, best-selling author, and nationally recognized speaker. As part of the Tools & Resources series, this episode dives deep into the youth mental health crisis and offers biblically sound, psychologically informed guidance for parents, educators, ministry leaders, and mentors.Dr. Williams discusses her co-authored book, Seen: Healing Despair and Anxiety in Kids and Teens Through the Power of Connection, sharing the origin story of the book, staggering statistics on youth anxiety and suicide, and practical tools for building connection and emotional resilience.From understanding the neuroscience of despair to embracing Christ-centered mental wellness, this conversation equips listeners to respond with compassion, clarity, and Christlike care.Guest Bio:Dr. Chinwé Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor, Board-Certified Counselor, Educator, and Certified EMDR Therapist with over 18 years of experience. She specializes in stress, anxiety, trauma recovery, and emotional resilience among youth and adults. Dr. Williams is a co-author of "Seen" and the newly released "Calm, Courageous, and Connected," and she is a sought-after keynote speaker who integrates faith and mental health with empathy and excellence.Key Topics Covered:The Mental Health Crisis in Youth:Dr. Williams shares that anxiety is now the most common mental health condition in both youth and adults, with youth suicide rates rising sharply, especially among Black boys ages 10–14.The Inspiration Behind Seen:Co-authored with youth pastor Will Hutcherson, Seen was birthed out of real-world experiences and a divine collaboration to offer practical tools for adults to connect with hurting young people.The Power of Connection:Dr. Williams explains that despair—defined as a combination of hopelessness and isolation—cannot be healed through logic or discipline but through emotional connection.The Neuroscience of Despair:In moments of emotional distress, the brain's logic center shuts down while the emotional center (the amygdala) goes into overdrive. Connection, not correction, is the bridge to healing.Practical Strategies for Parents & Caregivers:Observe behavior and check in compassionately.Prioritize regular moments of meaningful connection.Listen more than you speak.Avoid rushing to solutions—presence is often more potent than advice.Help children name their emotions and validate their experiences.Faith & Mental Health:Dr. Williams urges believers not to shy away from addressing mental health challenges, reminding us that Jesus Himself experienced a full range of human emotions. Spiritual strength includes emotional awareness and obedience in seeking healing and support.Notable Quotes:"Despair is suffering without meaning." – Dr. Chinwé Williams"You can't logic a child out of despair. They need connection, not correction.""Fear and self-doubt are not signs to stop. Often, they are signs you're walking in obedience.""Being unemotional does not equate to being more spiritual."Resource Mentioned:

Show Notes for The Fortified Life Podcast with Jason DavisEpisode 194: Ricky Brown Author of The Five Hazardous Attitudes: Ways to Win the War WithinEpisode Title:Winning the War Within: Confronting the Five Hazardous Attitudes with Ricky BrownPodcast Host: Jason Davis a.k.a. Mr. FortifySpecial Guest: Ricky Brown – Author, Speaker, Pastor, and Founder of Speak Life Inc.Episode Overview: In this powerful episode of The Fortified Life Podcast, host Jason Davis welcomes Ricky Brown, a dynamic communicator, Air Force veteran, commercial pilot, and author of the transformative book The Five Hazardous Attitudes: Ways to Win the War Within. Together, they delve deeply into the attitudes that silently undermine our personal, professional, and spiritual lives—and how to overcome them with wisdom, awareness, and faith.Key Themes and Takeaways:God's Divine Alignment:Jason and Ricky discuss how divine connections led to their friendship and the purpose behind their missions to integrate faith with leadership in business and ministry.Military Insights that Transform Mindsets:Ricky draws on his service in the U.S. Air Force and experience as a commercial pilot to introduce five hazardous attitudes identified by the FAA—attitudes that cause real-life aviation accidents and parallel how people crash emotionally, professionally, or spiritually.The Five Hazardous Attitudes Explained:Invulnerability – "It won't happen to me":Leads to risky decisions and dangerous overconfidence. Ricky shares a cautionary tale of a man who lost $48M due to this very mindset.Macho – "I can do it":Stemming from pride and the need to prove oneself, this attitude can lead to overreaching and taking unwise risks, even in high-stakes environments such as medicine and aviation.Impulsivity – "Do something!":Acting without thinking can be catastrophic. Ricky shares examples from flight simulation training where impulsive actions lead to disastrous results.Anti-authority – "Don't tell me what to do":Rooted in unresolved trauma and mistrust, this attitude can destroy team dynamics and leadership effectiveness if not brought under control.Resignation – "What's the use?":Often triggered before a breakthrough, resignation causes people to quit too soon. Ricky and Jason discuss how spiritual resilience is key to enduring through tough seasons.Faith + Leadership = Transformation:Ricky emphasizes that these attitudes are not just about career development but about spiritual transformation. Whether in business, ministry, or family life, unchecked attitudes can derail destiny.Application in Real Life:From Fortune 500 companies to local churches, Ricky shares how his book and workshops are helping leaders and teams identify and confront their internal blind spots before they become public failures.About the Guest:Ricky Brown is the president and founder of Speak Life Inc., a compelling speaker, former commercial pilot, and military veteran.

When Death of the Fox Brewing Company opened eight years ago, co-founder Chuck Garrity wanted to make sure its Clarksboro, New Jersey-based taproom stayed busy day and night.    So to “maximize” Death of the Fox's taproom investment and utility, the company launched by also offering coffee service, Garrity shared during the first edition of the Brewbound Podcast's Learning Lounge: Taproom Tactics series.    Offering coffee was part of a total beverage mindset that covered an overlap between beer drinkers and coffee connoisseurs, while adding a revenue stream in one of the strictest operating environments for craft brewery taprooms.    “My goal was to always have an on-site coffee roastery,” Garrity explained. “So to be able to produce and roast the coffee in the same way that we produce fresh beer for the brewery. In the same respect, we're doing that with the coffee. To me it just made sense in terms of a business model.”   Building an on-site roastery during the COVID-19 pandemic was “a game changer” for the business due to taproom shutdowns. It's now become the dominant portion of the brewery's business.   “When we first opened, beer was about 75%, 80% of our sales,” he said. “Now, flash forward eight years later, coffee, in terms of the total company, is about 70% of our sales. Beer is about 20% to 25%.”   Garrity added that the brewery's beer sales are still strong, and he's confident that “beer's not going anywhere.” But his philosophy is to “follow where the river takes you, don't fight against the current,” and Death of the Fox's customers were telling him that while they liked the combination of beer and coffee, they really loved the coffee.   Listen for more from Garrity on Death of the Fox's mix, growing the coffee side of the business amid strict restrictions on beer and advice for adding an attractive coffee menu.    Before this week's featured interview, Jess, Zoe and Justin break down what Barrel One Collective's acquisition of Greater Good Imperial Brewing Company brings to the platform. And the trio play Another Round or Tabbing Out on 1990s nostalgia seeping into CPG, with more waterbed and Jelly shoes talk than you'd expect.

A bill recently advanced in the state Legislature that would give a $10,000 tax break to property owners who install a fortified roof. This comes after a recent study found that houses with fortified roofs in coastal Alabama were nearly 75% less likely to file insurance claims after hurricanes. This bill moves forward while a different insurance bill, written by state Senator Royce Duplesis, died in committee. Capitol Access reporter Brooke Thorington spoke to Duplesis about what comes next. A new series from Verite News tells the story of slavery in New Orleans.
