What happens when you finally decide the life you've been living isn't the life you're supposed to settle for?

On this episode of *The Living Proof Podcast**, Daeron sits down with **Kenya Conway* for a powerful conversation about transformation, entrepreneurship, mindset, mental health, addiction recovery, and what it really takes to completely change the direction of your life.

Kenya's journey didn't begin as a successful CEO.

She was a **single mother raising two children**, working multiple jobs, building a career in education, and trying to make ends meet while battling unhappiness, unhealthy relationships, emotional wounds from her childhood, and her own struggles along the way.

She spent nearly 20 years in education. She built a DJ business on the side. She eventually reached what should have been her “dream job” in the school system.

But something was still missing.

Kenya realized that changing her income wasn't enough. She had to change her **mindset, habits, environment, and belief in what was possible for her life**.

That decision eventually led her into entrepreneurship and the behavioral health industry—even though she wasn't a therapist, clinician, or substance-abuse counselor.

When COVID changed the world in 2020, Kenya began building her behavioral health business while still working in education. She learned the licensing process, accreditation, staffing, systems, policies, procedures, and business infrastructure necessary to open a behavioral health practice.

And when people told her the process would be too difficult and take too long, she kept moving.

She says she was able to complete the process in **less than 90 days**.

Today, Kenya has built multiple businesses and is taking everything she learned to help other aspiring entrepreneurs understand the **business side of behavioral health**—from launching and licensing a practice to hiring qualified professionals, building systems, developing leadership, and scaling.

In this conversation, you'll hear about:

• Growing up with material stability but emotional struggles

• Breaking toxic patterns learned during childhood

• Becoming a single mother and working multiple jobs

• Why mindset changed the trajectory of Kenya's income

• Going from teacher to DJ to behavioral health entrepreneur

• Starting a behavioral health practice without being a clinician

• The steps involved in launching and licensing a behavioral health business

• Why failure is information—not the end of the goal

• Hiring therapists, clinical directors, and qualified staff

• Building a business around mental health and addiction recovery services

• Why clinicians need to understand the BUSINESS side of healthcare

• Leaving a career to pursue entrepreneurship full-time

• Building wealth, freedom, impact, and legacy

• Kenya's Behavioral Health CEO Academy and Behavioral Health Business Blueprint

This isn't just a conversation about making money.

It's about what can happen when you stop allowing your past, your circumstances, your career, or somebody else's expectations to determine what happens next.

As Kenya explains during the conversation, **the transformation never stops**.

If you're a nurse, therapist, clinician, healthcare professional, educator, aspiring entrepreneur—or simply somebody who knows you're capable of more—this episode is for you.

Why Should White Guys Have All the Wealth? | Cedric Nash Living Proof

Tue, 25 Aug 2026 00:11:04 +0000

In this episode of the Living Proof Podcast, we sit down with millionaire mentor, entrepreneur, investor, and author Cedric Nash for a powerful conversation about what it really takes to build wealth from the bottom.

Cedric shares how he went from earning $36,400 a year after college to building his own consulting company, becoming a millionaire in his early 30s, investing in real estate, and eventually selling a home he built for more than $2 million.

But this conversation goes far beyond making money.

Cedric breaks down why long-term investing beats chasing quick money, why mentorship changed the trajectory of his life, and why building wealth requires patience, sacrifice, courage, and consistency. He also speaks candidly about the Black wealth gap, mistrust within the Black community, pooling capital, entrepreneurship, and why collaboration may be one of the biggest keys to creating generational wealth.

In this episode, we talk about:

How Cedric became a millionaire in his early 30s
Leaving corporate America to start his own business
Building and selling a multimillion-dollar home
Why entrepreneurship requires calculated risk
The importance of mentors and learning from people ahead of you
Why long-term investing can outperform trading
Real estate, stocks, syndications, and building wealth over time
Why Black communities must learn to pool capital and build together
Overcoming mistrust in business
The story behind the Black Wealth Summit
Cedric’s wealth-building philosophy for anyone starting from the bottom

Cedric is also the author of Why Should White Guys Have All the Wealth? How You Can Become a Millionaire Starting from the Bottom and Millionaire Money Moves Supplemental Investment Guide.

He Went Viral…Then Everything Fell Apart Hilarious Omar's Living Proof

Tue, 18 Aug 2026 00:58:07 +0000

Before millions of views, viral comedy videos, packed stages, and the name Omar Terrell Reloaded, there was a kid from the DMV trying to survive circumstances that could have easily broken him.

Born in Baltimore and raised between Baltimore, Prince George’s County, and the DC area, Omar Terrell’s story is much deeper than comedy. Growing up around family struggles, addiction, bullying, financial hardship, and instability forced Omar to develop a toughness that would eventually become part of his greatest gift: making people laugh.

In this episode of The Living Proof Podcast, Omar sits down for one of his most transparent conversations yet.

Long before becoming a stand-up comedian, Omar dreamed of playing in the NBA. He competed against elite basketball talent, played college basketball, and believed the court would become his future—until he finally had to admit that basketball wasn’t his calling.

That realization opened another door.

After only two weeks of writing jokes, Omar stepped onto a stage for the first time and immediately felt like he had discovered what he was supposed to be doing. But raw talent wasn't enough. Comedy clubs rejected him. He bombed on stages. Chicago humbled him. Veteran comedians tested him. And over the next 15 years, he learned that becoming a great stand-up comedian requires much more than simply being funny.

Then the internet changed everything.

Omar began creating comedy based around the cultures, accents, personalities, and mannerisms he experienced growing up. His Baltimore videos started gaining traction. His DC content exploded. Philadelphia followed. Then New York reached millions of views.

Suddenly, Omar Terrell had become one of the recognizable voices in viral social media comedy, using his ability to imitate different cities and cultures to build an audience far beyond the DMV.

But going viral and building a lasting career are two completely different things.

Omar opens up about the setbacks behind the laughs—the people who disappeared during difficult seasons, mistakes he made, opportunities that didn't come when expected, rebuilding his confidence, and reaching points in life where getting back up became more important than being funny.

Now he's rebuilding everything.

His life.

His brand.

His comedy career.

That's why it's Omar Terrell Reloaded.

This isn't simply a comedian interview. It's a conversation about resilience, stand-up comedy, going viral on social media, finding your purpose, rebuilding your career, developing your craft, and refusing to quit when life knocks you down.

Omar also breaks down what upcoming comedians need to understand about finding their voice, developing material for different audiences, competing in today's content-driven comedy industry, and why talent still matters—even when other creators have bigger budgets, bigger productions, and bigger platforms.

If you've ever had to start over, reinvent yourself, chase something nobody else understood, or keep going when it felt like your opportunity should have happened already, this episode is for you.

Omar Terrell isn't starting over. He's reloading.

This Chef’s Life Before the Kitchen Is INSANE | Chef Anthony Living Proof

Chef Anthony’s story didn’t start in a kitchen.

Raised by his great aunt and uncle after his teenage parents realized they weren’t ready to raise him, Anthony learned early that life doesn’t always follow the path you expect. Years later, at just 19 years old, that lesson became even more real when a seizure led doctors to discover a serious problem with the blood flow in his brain—forcing him to undergo brain surgery and completely rethink the way he was living.

But that still wasn’t the biggest turn his life would take.

Anthony eventually found himself making fast money—at one point remembering a $20,000 day—before everything came crashing down. In 2011, he turned himself in and was ultimately sentenced to 32 months in federal prison.

Inside prison, however, something unexpected happened.

While other people may have seen 32 months as lost time, Anthony started preparing for the life he wanted when he came home. He asked the people on his visitation list to send him recipe books and cooking magazines. He studied recipes, took notes, experimented with ideas on paper, and began thinking seriously about creating a culinary business when his sentence was over.

When he finally came home, the transformation didn’t happen overnight.

Anthony worked restaurant jobs, took temporary positions, learned how businesses operated, continued sharpening his skills in the kitchen, and consistently documented his food online. He eventually developed a style that made his work stand out, began attracting paying clients, and reached the point where his business was pulling him away from his 9-to-5 so often that he finally made the decision to bet on himself full time.

Today, Chef Anthony’s story is bigger than food.

It’s about what happens when your past catches up with you, what you do when everything gets stripped away, and how one decision to change direction can completely rewrite the rest of your life.

In this episode of Living Proof, Chef Anthony opens up about federal prison, nearly losing his life, marriage, entrepreneurship, building a personal brand, finding his lane in the culinary world, and why he believes consistency and differentiation helped him turn his passion into a legitimate career.

This is the story of what can happen when somebody comes home determined not to go back to the life they left behind.

Before he became The Fly Lawyer, Jackie Patterson was jumping out of airplanes as an Army paratrooper, chasing suspects through Atlanta as a police officer, leading a department as police chief, serving from the bench as a judge, prosecuting cases—and eventually defending the same type of people he once arrested.

But behind the designer suits, red bottoms, Maybachs, Rolls-Royces and larger-than-life personality is a story built on faith, discipline, sacrifice and painful lessons.

In this episode of the Living Proof Podcast, The Fly Lawyer explains how he created a legal career unlike anyone else in Georgia, why he legally changed his name, and how authentic social media marketing helped turn him into a recognizable brand. He also opens up about the criminal cases he will never forget, the inequality he has witnessed inside the justice system and what more than 1,400 jury trials taught him about winning under pressure.

The conversation becomes deeply personal when he reveals how infidelity ended his marriage, how his ex-wife remained his best friend for 25 years and why losing her became the most painful experience of his life.

From courtrooms and criminal cases to music, relationships, regret, legacy and giving back, this is the story of a man who refuses to live an ordinary life.

Watch until the end to discover why The Fly Lawyer says:

“I’m him—not them.”

He Lost Everything | Then Airbnb Made Him a Millionaire | Jerrell Dinkins

Tue, 28 Jul 2026 01:18:15 +0000

In this powerful episode of The Living Proof Podcast Club, Jerrell Dinkins shares his journey from growing up in the Bronx and earning a Division I basketball scholarship to building success in network marketing—only to experience financial collapse, drinking, three DWIs, jail time, pregnancy loss, and the possibility of homelessness. Through faith, consistency, and the decision to keep moving forward, Jerrell refused to let his darkest season become the end of his story.

With his marriage approaching its breaking point, Jerrell and his wife decided to risk what they had left on two Airbnb properties. Within their first 24 hours, they generated more than $8,000 in bookings—a moment that changed their finances, strengthened their marriage, and launched a new chapter in their lives.

Jerrell opens up about the decisions that nearly destroyed him, the boundaries and sacrifices required to rebuild, and how he turned his experience into a mission to teach others what is possible through Airbnb and real estate.

This conversation is about more than making money. It is about surviving failure, rebuilding after loss, choosing the right partner, staying consistent, and finding purpose through the pain.

He wasn’t supposed to make it out.

At just 10 years old…
one moment changed everything.

A decision.
A path.
A life that started moving fast… real fast.

Money came quick.
Power came faster.

At one point… he was making $50,000 a day.

But nobody talks about what comes next.

The silence.
The setup.
The moment everything catches up to you.

15 years gone.

No phones.
No social media.
No guarantee of who you’ll be when you come home.

Most people don’t recover from that.

But this story doesn’t end there.

Because what happened after prison is what makes this different.

Relationships that shouldn’t exist…
Rooms most people will never see…
And a level of peace most people never reach.

This isn’t just a comeback story.

It’s about:

Survival vs purpose
Street success vs real success
And why relationships are worth more than money

If you’ve ever felt like your situation defined you…
or like you started too far behind…

This one is going to hit different.

What do you do when broken promises and shattered dreams make you walk away from the one thing you love most?

In this episode of the Living Proof Podcast, we sit down with Jeff Otto Afrobeats artist, community builder, mental health advocate, and Silver Spring native to dive into the raw, unfiltered journey behind the music.

Jeff gets real about growing up Ghanaian in Montgomery County, the moment he shocked his entire school with a senior talent show performance nobody saw coming, and why he walked away from music entirely for nearly four years.

He breaks down how a viral skydiving birthday moment gave him the opening he needed to come back stronger — landing on BET, performing in front of 50,000 people, and building a loyal following completely independently.

But this episode goes way beyond music. Jeff opens up about why being signed to a label is often more hype than reality, how therapy and yoga changed his mental health game, what it means to build a marriage with someone who knew you when you had $10 in your bank account, and why he created a sold-out celebrity basketball game in MoCo just to give his community something to celebrate.

Whether you're an artist still waiting for your moment, someone battling self-doubt, or just someone who needs a reminder that your setbacks are setting you up — Jeff's story will hit different.

What does it take to build the biggest Wealth Summit in the DMV region from scratch — with no board, no sponsors, and no blueprint?

In this episode of the Living Proof Podcast, we sit down with Raven Paris marketing strategist, radio personality, community builder, and founder of the Wealth Summit Live — to unpack the real story behind her rise.

Raven gets raw about growing up with strong women who shaped her, the moment she turned down a full-time job offer straight out of Morgan State University to chase her dream, and how faith became the foundation of every bold move she's ever made.

She shares how she went from running an internet radio show to landing at 92Q and TMZ, and how she and her husband Tony built a financial education movement that has attracted hundreds of youth, major bank sponsors, and attendees from across the country.

But this episode goes beyond business.

Devon Dorsey x Daeron Myers | LIVING PROOF PODCAST

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 21:00:00 +0000

Two brothers. Same broken home. Same absent parents. Same streets.
One became a firefighter who held dying children in his arms. The other built a million-dollar empire from nothing. And now for the first time on camera they're sitting across from each other telling the whole story.

Daeron Myers brings his brother Coach Dev to the Living Proof Podcast, and what unfolds is one of the rawest, most unfiltered conversations you'll ever watch. From being split up as kids, raised by aunts and grandmothers who both died of cancer, to running with fiends, chasing manhood in all the wrong places, and finally finding the path that changed everything.

This isn't a success story. This is the road BEHIND the success story.
🎙️ What they get into:

Growing up divided same blood, different households, different pain
How Coach Dev went from drugs and the streets to becoming a licensed firefighter
The 3AM phone call when Daeron was stabbed and Dev woke up with pain on the same side
The moment on a yacht in Miami that broke every limited belief Dev had
Why followers don't equal dollars and what actually builds wealth
What real manhood looks like when nobody showed you the example
How Freedom University helps people get funded $50-100K at 0% interest to start their businesses

Why Dev credits ONE moment in Atlanta as the thing that changed his entire life

If you've ever watched somebody else win and wondered if it was even possible for YOU this episode is the answer.

Daeron Myers | LIVING PROOF PODCAST

What does it take to build a 7-figure empire, 400K+ Instagram followers, and a gold-plated award you hand out to YOUR students all without an editing app on your phone?

Meet Daeron Myers. At 24, he was stabbed at a house party, ran to a 7-Eleven with his intestines hanging out, and called everyone he loved from the back of an ambulance
convinced he wasn't going to make it. One brother picked up.

He survived. And those 30 days of forced bed rest changed the direction of his entire life.

In this debut episode of Living Proof, Daeron flips the script letting his videographer and producer, Ball Heavy, sit in the interviewer's seat for the very first time.

What comes out is raw, unfiltered, and real: the 9-year-old boy handed off to a father fresh out of prison. The COVID moment that broke open his dreams.

The business that nearly buried him with 50 emails a day and zero help. And the moment he realized he wasn't running FROM something he was running TOWARD a calling.

This isn't a highlight reel. This is the blueprint.
🎙️ Topics covered:

How Daeron built a massive following with NO editing app (not even CapCut)

The near-death experience that gave him clarity and a permanent mark to remember it by
How "massive imperfect action" beats perfect preparation every single time
Why your real battle has NEVER been with the world it's always been with yourself
What it means to have LONG faith when the parachute won't open

Building a dream team by betting on hunger over résumés

If you've ever felt like success just doesn't happen for people like you this episode is your sign to keep going.
