You’re listening to JUMP: Success Is Waiting. I’m Charles Matthews.

And today, I want to ask you to help me take a jump of my own.

On this podcast, we talk about taking chances. Starting again. Finding the courage to move forward when the outcome is uncertain.

But there comes a moment when you have to live the message you share with everybody else.

For me, that moment is now.

I’ve entered the Top Host competition.

I’m putting myself out there because I believe there is more I can do with this microphone. More people I can reach. More conversations I can start. More stories that deserve to be heard.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of being an emcee, a radio personality, and a podcast host. I’ve helped people celebrate their biggest moments. I’ve brought energy into a room. And I’ve asked questions that give someone the space to tell their story.

That connection is what keeps me coming back.

Because sometimes, one conversation stays with you.

You hear someone explain how they made it through a difficult season, and suddenly your own next step feels possible. You discover that the person you admire had doubts, setbacks, and days when they wanted to give up, too.

That’s why JUMP matters to me.

I want people to leave these conversations with the courage to try something they’ve been putting off.

And I know I have to be willing to do the same.

So here I am. Taking my own advice.

I don’t know how this competition will end. But I know I would regret letting the opportunity pass without trying.

Maybe you know that feeling.

There’s something you want to do. You’ve thought about it. Talked yourself into it. Talked yourself out of it. And you’re still waiting for the moment when you feel completely ready.

I’m learning that sometimes you take the step with the nerves still there.

Today, I’m asking you to stand with me as I take mine.

If you’ve enjoyed an episode of JUMP, heard me on the radio, or shared a moment with me at an event, I would be grateful for your support.

Team Charles, let’s see how far we can take this.

I’m ready to give this opportunity everything I’ve got.

Success is waiting.

And this time…

It’s my time to JUMP.

Lisa Phillips, a former international fashion model with an inspiring story, joins us to share her journey through the glamorous yet challenging world of modeling. From her first commercial in Miami to her experiences on international runways, Lisa pulls back the curtain on an industry that is as demanding as it is exhilarating. Growing up in a multicultural household with a background spanning Indian, Jamaican, Scottish, and Norwegian heritage, she developed a rich appreciation for diversity. Her insights into the modeling world highlight not just the glitz but also the resilience and self-discovery needed to succeed.

Have you ever wondered how to build confidence in a world that often seems determined to tear it down? Lisa takes us through the highs and lows of maintaining self-esteem in the face of criticism and social media negativity. Through personal stories and experiences, she reveals the power of self-talk and the importance of finding a supportive network to uplift you in difficult times. As we navigate the complexities of self-worth and relationships, Lisa shares valuable lessons on prioritizing integrity, managing fears, and treasuring meaningful connections that enrich our lives.

In the final chapters, we venture into the darker side of the modeling industry, where Lisa courageously shares her story of overcoming trauma and finding healing. We explore the transformative power of empathy and therapy in overcoming adversity, and the importance of advocacy in raising awareness about industry dangers. Through storytelling and community support, Lisa not only reclaims her narrative but also empowers others to do the same, highlighting the strength found in shared experiences and the pursuit of personal growth. Join us for an inspiring conversation that celebrates resilience, empowerment, and the freedom that comes with self-assurance.
