This year has been one of the most transformational seasons of my life, full of highs, lows, hard decisions, and deep surrender. But God has been faithful through it all. And now, it’s time to step fully into what’s next.

But before I go, I want to celebrate with YOU. 💛

In this episode of the Authentic Media Podcast, I sit down with Matt Pivarnik, former CEO of the Greater Topeka Partnership. We recorded this conversation while he was transitioning out of Topeka and into a new role in Myrtle Beach. Even though we’re airing it later than planned, his reflections on leadership, community, and legacy are as timely as ever.

Matt opens up about:

• The bittersweet process of leaving Topeka after nearly a decade of impact
• What it really takes to shift a city’s brand and mindset
• The power of radical collaboration and building the Greater Topeka Partnership
• Why metrics like poverty reduction matter more than recognition
• His vision for the next generation of leaders

What if the biggest branding strategy in 2025 isn’t about algorithms or aesthetics, but about Obedience?

Ever wondered how to build a podcast that’s real, raw, AND ridiculously funny? In this episode, I sit down with my good friends Caleb and Levi, the creators of the That’s How You Feel podcast — and let’s just say, things get hilariously real REAL fast. 😂

From going viral over a conversation about kiwis (yes, kiwis) to navigating harsh internet comments, Caleb and Levi open up about:

• How to start a podcast without all the fancy equipment
• Why authenticity is scary but powerful
• What it’s like to grow a show from scratch
• The worst (and wildest) internet comments they’ve received
• Creating content that’s relevant without losing yourself in trends

We talk about building your brand your way, finding your voice, handling criticism, and why sometimes the smallest moments (like a Costco trip!) become the biggest stories. If you’re a creator, podcaster, or someone who’s just trying to be bold and show up as yourself — this one’s for you.

👀 Plus, Caleb reveals why he really wants to be famous (spoiler: it's the money 😂), Levi drops wisdom about grief and growth, and we all agree that confidence is key—even when you’re wearing questionable jeans.

🎧 Tune in. Laugh with us. Learn from us. And be reminded that your voice matters.
