Gianna is the Founder of Tactical Barbe Designs and the CEO & President of the National Warrior Foundation. Her mission is clear: strengthen those who serve by fostering community, normalizing conversations around mental health, and standing in unwavering support of military and first-responder families.

Since 1997, Gianna has worked alongside military families through hands-on service, advocacy, and leadership. In 2002, she founded the Airborne Wives Club, providing morale and support to spouses navigating deployment and the realities of military life. Her work has expanded into large-scale fundraising, program development, and partnerships with organizations such as First Book, Boys & Girls Club, AHA Heart Walk, and Friends of the Guard and Reserve.

In 2009, Gianna partnered with First Book to launch Hearts to Home—a program helping deployed service members stay connected with their children through recorded book readings, reinforcing family, presence, and emotional connection during separation.

Beyond her advocacy, Gianna serves as Co-Director for Miss Alaska USA and Miss Alaska Teen USA, mentoring young women in leadership, discipline, and personal development. She also supports veteran transition programs and serves on the board of Alaska Healing Hearts, while backing initiatives such as Operation Santa and Armed Services YMCA.

This conversation goes deeper than titles. We talk about leadership under pressure, responsibility, resilience, mental health, and what it truly means to turn service into purpose—and strength into action.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Building Tactical Barbe Designs as a mission, not a trend

• Supporting military families, veterans, and first responders

• Mental health awareness and community responsibility

• Leadership, discipline, and service-driven purpose

• Empowering women without compromising strength or conviction

This is Peace. Power. Purpose.

No hype. No shortcuts. Just real conversations that matter.

Robert’s story goes far beyond discipline and elite performance. It’s about what happens when strength, toughness, and achievement are no longer enough — and the moment a man is forced to confront the deeper work of healing, humility, and surrender.

After years of building his identity around mission and performance, Robert faced physical pain, internal battles, and a loss of direction many high-performing men experience after military service. His transformation began when faith stopped being a fallback and became the foundation.

Today, Robert is the founder of Always Forward Health & Wellness DBA W.O.L.F. Fitness Gyms, where he helps men and women rebuild their lives physically, mentally, and spiritually through disciplined movement, science-based nutrition, faith, and purpose-driven living.

This conversation is about becoming unbreakable — not through force, but through wholeness.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Identity rooted in performance vs. purpose

• Life after elite military service

• When strength alone stops working

• Faith as a foundation, not a crutch

• Healing the whole person: body, mind, and spirit

• Addressing root causes instead of managing symptoms

• What it truly means to live unbreakable

If you’re struggling with identity, direction, or silent battles — or searching for real healing without gimmicks — this episode will meet you where you are.

Peace Power and Purpose Podcast

For the first time, Steve Morris, host of the Peace • Power • & Purpose Podcast, steps out from behind the mic to share his personal testimony.

This is an unfiltered conversation about faith, failure, discipline, and what it really looks like to rebuild a life when pride, control, and self-reliance finally collapse. No highlight reel. No polished redemption arc. Just the truth about surrender, responsibility, and the long road back to purpose.

Steve opens up about hitting rock bottom, confronting hard realities, and choosing discipline over self-destruction—one decision at a time.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Steve Morris’ testimony and faith journey

• Hitting rock bottom and facing the truth

• Discipline vs. self-destruction

• Masculinity, leadership, and responsibility

• What rebuilding actually looks like after failure

This conversation is for men who carry the weight of responsibility.

For men who’ve fallen hard.

And for men who are ready to stop running—and start rebuilding.
