Some stories don't fit neatly into a redemption arc. Melvin Cole's is one of them.On the latest episode of Drive By with Sam Coates, Cole, founder of PURE Academy in Memphis, shares a raw, unpolished account of growing up in extreme poverty, entering the drug trade at age 11, surviving gun violence and ultimately choosing a radically different path. Raised by a heroin-addicted grandmother in South Memphis, Cole lost his sister as a toddler due to a medical misdiagnosis, experienced childhood sexual abuse and became a father at just 14. Survival wasn't a philosophy: it was daily reality.Football once offered a way out. Cole earned a college scholarship and had NFL aspirations, until a drug deal gone wrong left him shot in the head and back. What followed was prison, where witnessing a brutal assault became a spiritual breaking point. In a moment of desperation, Cole made a promise: if he survived, he would dedicate his life to saving young men headed down the same road.When he was released after serving time for cocaine trafficking, Cole dug up more than $500,000 he had buried during his time dealing drugs, money he once saw as a retirement plan. Instead of returning to the streets, he used it to build PURE Academy, a year-round boarding school for at-risk Black boys in Memphis that focuses on discipline, structure, emotional intelligence, agriculture, academics and faith.Today, PURE Academy serves 61 students on full scholarship, operates on a $3.7 million budget and boasts an 83% college matriculation rate. Cole is candid about the challenges that remain — the temptation of his former life, frustrations with nonprofit systems and the emotional toll of leadership. But his mission is clear: remove boys from environments that trap them in cycles of poverty and give them the tools to build something better.This episode isn't polished inspiration. It's an honest conversation about trauma, responsibility, faith and what it actually takes to change outcomes: not just for individuals, but for communities.Episode Highlights“I Started Selling Drugs at 11 — Not to Rebel, But to Survive”Cole explains how poverty and fatherhood at 14 pushed him into the drug trade as a calculated business decision, not teenage rebellion.The Moment Prison Changed EverythingWitnessing a violent assault behind bars led to a desperate prayer and a life-altering promise that would shape PURE Academy's mission.Burying $500K — Then Digging It Up for a SchoolThe drug money Cole once viewed as his future became the seed funding for a boarding school instead of a return to crime.Inside PURE Academy's Daily DisciplineFrom 6 a.m. workouts and meditation to academics and agriculture, Cole breaks down how structure, not charity, changes lives.“You Feed One of Two Wolves”Cole speaks openly about the ongoing internal battle between his past and present, including why success doesn't erase temptation — but purpose keeps him grounded.

What if the students who say they're “good” are the ones we need to check on the most?In this episode of unMASKing with Male Educators, Ashanti Branch pulls back the curtain on what young men are actually carrying beneath the surface, using real words, real data, and real stories from the Global Young Men's Conference and the Million Mask Movement.Drawing from over two decades of work with young men, Ashanti walks listeners through powerful mask reflections created by students across the Bay Area. These masks reveal a striking disconnect between what young men show the world, happy, funny, kind, and what they hide, sadness, anger, exhaustion, loneliness, fear. Through stories, statistics, and lived experience, Ashanti challenges educators, parents, and systems to stop mistaking compliance for wellness and silence for safety.This episode is both a wake-up call and an invitation: to slow down, ask better questions, create emotionally safer spaces, and truly mean it when we ask, “How are you doing?”Why “I'm good” is often a mask, not the truthWhat young men's masks reveal about loneliness, sadness, and emotional overloadThe dangerous gap between how students appear and how they actually feelWhy emotional safety is foundational to attendance, behavior, and academic successHow fear, violence, and instability shape students' ability to show up to schoolThe hidden emotional labor young men carry to protect others from worryingWhy humor, kindness, and being “the funny one” can be survival strategiesHow social media, isolation, and consumption culture deepen disconnectionWhat educators miss when curriculum matters more than connectionHow the Million Mask Movement helps schools get to the root, not just the symptomsWhy listening—not fixing—is often the most powerful interventionA call to parents, educators, and leaders to stop staying silentIn this episode, Ashanti explores:(0:00) Welcome to unMASKing with Male Educators(0:41) Why this conversation matters as we head into 2026(2:00) Data as words: listening to what young men aren't saying(5:04) Voices from the Global Young Men's Conference(6:28) Introducing the Million Mask reflections(12:00) Why students don't show up when they don't feel safe(15:12) Survival brains, fear, and school attendance(16:30) Front-of-mask data: happy, funny, kind(17:09) Back-of-mask data: sad, angry, tired, alone(19:34) What “happy” students are hiding(22:41) The emotional cost of never being asked twice(24:55) The funny kid: humor as armor(27:18) Social media, isolation, and identity fragmentation(30:47) Why words matter more than spreadsheets(33:15) Invitation to make a mask and bring this work to schools(35:33) Speaking truth to systems and school boards(38:00) A call to parents, educators, and advocates(40:00) Closing reflections and what's coming nextResources & Ways to EngageThe Million Mask Movement – Create a mask anonymously: https://millionmask.orgEducator Portal – Bring mask-making and emotional data into your schoolGlobal Young Men's Conference – Youth voice, belonging, and healing spacesEver Forward Club – Brotherhood, connection, and mentorshipConnect with Ashanti BranchInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/branchspeaks/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BranchSpeaksTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/BranchSpeaksLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashantibranch/Website: https://www.branchspeaks.com/Support the Podcast & Ever Forward Clubhttps://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/branch-speaks/support#unmaskingwithmaleeducators #millionmaskmovement #takingoffthemask #emotionalSafety #SEL #youthvoice #schoolculture #mentalhealthineducation

Education can change a child's life.But in India, access to quality education is still far from equal.Millions of children are locked out of classrooms—not because they lack talent or ambition, but because opportunity never reaches them. According to the 2011 Census, 8.4 crore children between the ages of 5 and 17 are out of school. And for many, that absence shapes the rest of their lives.This is where movements like Teach For India emerge—stepping into the gaps where systems fall short, and working to ensure that where a child is born does not determine how far they can go.In Episode 2 of The Education Revolution, our special three-part series, we continue the conversation with Shaheen Mistri, Founder and CEO of Teach For India.In the previous episode, we traced Shaheen's personal journey. In this episode, we shift focus to what came next: the making of Teach For India.We explore:What “educational equity” truly means in a country as unequal as IndiaThe moment Shaheen realised Teach For India could grow beyond a small initiativeThe challenge of balancing scale with quality in education reformWhether India is moving fast enough to bring every child into schoolThe role—and limits—of technology in addressing educational inequityThis is a conversation about building systems that serve children better, the courage required to think big, and the hard, often invisible work of sustaining change over time.CreditsHost: Shreya MGuest: Shaheen MistriResearch: Alisha CArtwork: Rajnikant SProduced by: The Good SightConcept: The Good SightFor feedback or to participate, write to us at contact@thegoodsight.org#TeachForIndia #EducationReform #EducationForAll #EdEquity #TFIMovement #TheGoodSight #EducationRevolution

In this powerful episode of the Faith Driven Entrepreneur podcast, hosts Justin Forman and Kevin Kim sit down with Chi-Ming and Juliette Chien to explore their radical decision to relocate their successful tech company from San Francisco's financial district to Bayview - a neighborhood where 25-30% of children live below the federal poverty line.Chi-Ming shares how Dayspring Technologies embodies "bearing witness to God's redeeming of the workplace, marketplace, and community" through unconventional business practices like refusing to use leverage in negotiations, maintaining only three months of cash reserves, and implementing a pay structure where CEO compensation is capped at 3x the lowest paid employee.Juliette reveals how their partnership with Redeemer Community Church led to the founding of RISE, a Christian high school where 80% of seats are reserved for first-generation college students from low-income families, with a mission of 100% four-year university admission.Key Highlights:Why Dayspring moved from downtown San Francisco to Bayview, defying conventional business wisdomThe theological imagination that shapes radical business practicesHow "prophetic emptiness" - leaving space for God to fill - birthed a transformative schoolThe power of church-business partnerships in community transformationPractical examples of living out gospel economics in the marketplaceWhy achievement and control can be more dangerous idols than moneyQuotable Moments:"I think a lot of times we call something impractical when it's largely left untried." - Juliette Chien"In order to love a place, you need to know it. In order to know it, you need to learn it, so you gotta spend time." - Chi-Ming Chien"If somebody takes your coat then give them your tunic also... That actually has implications for how we think about relating to our marketplace neighbors." - Chi-Ming ChienWatch the full episode on YouTube or continue to stream audio on your favorite podcast platform.

“There isn't one rote path that you have to take to reach a goal... it's okay to meander a little bit and live life and kind of explore.”For Agnar Hall, the journey to NASA wasn't linear—it was layered. In this episode, he opens up about stepping away from a PhD, working at Starbucks while healing from fibromyalgia, and embracing his identity as a transgender man. With gentle candour and sharp insight, Agnar talks about what it's like to rewire your definition of success while still holding onto your dreams. We touch on space science, social dynamics, and the subtle bravery of taking the long way home.There's something deeply relieving about Agnar's outlook. He offers a map that doesn't require urgency or perfection, only honesty and small acts of momentum. His story reminds us that meaning doesn't arrive fully formed—it's built through slow pivots, quiet reckonings, and friendships that feel like gravity. If you've ever questioned the plan you were handed or felt behind in your own timeline, this conversation is a balm.

Do you want to start a private practice but feel overwhelmed by the logistics or your lack of business knowledge? If so, this episode is for you! Joining me in this episode is Francesca Hernandez, a speech-language pathologist and the proud owner of Chihuahuan Desert Speech Therapy in El Paso, Texas. After filling her schedule with four PRN jobs right out of graduate school, Francesca realized that starting her own practice would give her greater control over her career.Francesca joined the Start Your Private Practice Program in 2022, but waited over a year before actually diving into it. She had the same frustrations with her job that so many SLPs experience, and has not looked back since going through the Start Program!In this episode, Francesca shares how her clinical skills and experience gave her the confidence to slowly build her own business and go into private practice full-time.Francesca was born and raised in El Paso, TX. She attended the University of Texas at El Paso to pursue her undergraduate studies with the financial support of a full-ride scholarship from the Terry Foundation. Her personal life experiences led her to develop a strong passion for treating individuals with neurological disorders. She has always valued giving back to the El Paso community, which ultimately motivated her to start her private practice.In Today's Episode, We Discuss:Francesca's introduction to speech-language pathology after her father's TBIWhat it was like working four PRN jobs to get experience after grad schoolThe thought pattern that so many SLPs face when dealing with job dissatisfactionWhy getting word-of-mouth referrals is easier than you think it isFrancesca's day-to-day schedule working with an adult populationFrancesca is like so many SLPs who want to leave their jobs, but don't know if they have what it takes to go into private practice. I hope her story helps you realize you already have what it takes, and the flexibility and job autonomy you want are just a leap of faith away!If you would like to know more about our programs and how we help support YOU in starting or growing your practice, just like we supported Francesca, please visit www.IndependentClinician.com/resources.Whether you want to start a private practice or grow your existing private practice, I can help you get the freedom, flexibility, fulfillment, and financial abundance that you deserve.

We talk a lot about nutrition—what to feed our kids, how to nourish their growing bodies, and how to make mealtimes feel less like a battleground. But food is so much more than just fuel.

We realize it isn't that it wasn't terrible, but it wasn't just terrible. That precisely because it got so dark I was able to see a light shining in the darkness that had come in looking for me, or it was there all along and I didn't know it.”– James FinleySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Filmmaker George Sikharulidze joins Marcus from Tbilisi, Georgia to discuss his feature film debut 'Panopticon', which is World Premiering at the prestigious 58th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival on June 30th at The Grand Hall, and competing for the festival's top prize: the Crystal Globe. A variety of topics include the influence of Francois Truffaut's 'The 400 Blows', the importance of honesty in filmmaking, the concept of Panopticism, and the value of making the films you regret. Other topics include the experience of watching one's own film, the challenges of making a feature film compared to shorts, the value of film labs and festivals, and the difficulties of the Georgian Film Center. George emphasizes the importance of serving the story and removing oneself as a director.

Invest Like the Best Podcast Notes Key Takeaways Many of the high-margin software businesses have no impact on society, and sometimes can even have a negative impact on society Founders in the dynamism category are creating teams that are mission-oriented and interested in more than just making money; they want to build techno-optimist solutions for strategically important problems It is important for society's best players to choose good questsIt is best to lean into your passions and overinvest in them We must encourage people to be “spikey” instead of only encouraging them to be “well-rounded”  In his early days at Founder Fund, Trae was looking to invest in a 21st-century reboot of Lockheed Martin; it did not exist, so he started it If a company is going to work, each team member must leverage their own superpower to achieve the company's audacious goal The adversary must know that Anduril's product will prevent their offensive from happening and that the defensive cost to prevent it is far lower than the offensive cost to launch it  “The DoD has done a really good job at creating theater around their innovation efforts.” – Trae Stephens The big defense primes are effectively government agencies that respond to the incentives presented to them Mimetic desire is the primary motivation for conflict in society because we are all going after the scarce resources that other people want  Working and learning about an industry in a supporting role is 100x better than graduate schoolThe first question that Trae Stephens asks in every pitch meeting is: “What is the origin story of this business?”Ask yourself what you are uniquely suited to do to contribute to a greater goodWe lose the wonders of virtue when we rely on ourselves as the source of all truth Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgMy guest this week is Trae Stephens. Trae is a partner at Founders Fund and co-founder and Executive Chairman of Anduril. Trae's philosophy can be boiled down to finding good quests, which has led him to investing in businesses that work closely with the government on societally important issues. Clearly, that extends to co-founding Anduril and I would highly recommend listening to my Business Breakdowns episode on Anduril if you haven't already. In this conversation, we discuss the importance of lobbyists, why the high-tech defense firms of the past became stale, and how he hunts for disagreeableness in founders.
