  • Through the Fire #106 - Christian Strength and Nutrition Coach, Sean McManus
    Jan 5 2026

    Sean McManus is a Men’s Strength Coach and
    Founder of McManus Strength and Nutrition.

    A movement dedicated to helping Christian men
    reclaim their confidence, purpose, and leadership
    through faith, fitness, and discipline.

    After years chasing success in the corporate world, Sean hit a wall of burnout, disconnection, and
    quiet dissatisfaction. It was a crisis of identity and a divine wake-up call.

    Choosing faith over fear, he walked away from comfort and compromise to rebuild his life from the inside out: as a man, a husband, a father, and a leader.

    Today, Sean empowers high-performing
    Christian men to break free from mediocrity,
    self-doubt, and burnout so they can build
    strong bodies, disciplined minds, and
    unshakable confidence.

    His coaching bridges biblical wisdom with proven strategies for strength training, nutrition, mindset, and
    masculine leadership, equipping men to lead
    their homes with integrity and show up in
    the world with energy, clarity, and conviction.

    Whether he’s coaching one-on-one, or
    sharing his message on podcasts, Sean
    challenges men to rise above cultural
    passivity, take radical ownership of their
    lives, & walk boldly in their God-given calling.

    A devoted husband and father, Sean lives
    what he teaches. When he’s not coaching or
    training, you’ll find him in the great outdoors
    with his wife and kids—investing in the relationships that matter most.

  • Through the Fire #104 - Speaker, Author, and Ministry Leader, Ahmard Vital
    Dec 29 2025

    Motivational consultant, international speaker, and author Ahmard Vital has empowered people globally with his inspirational guidance and tips for self-development. Ahmard provides his audiences with the tools needed to achieve personal success, utilize willpower and determination, and develop strategies that will allow people of all ages to achieve personal and professional excellence.

    After nearly a decade of studying the performance habits of high achieving athletes, Ahmard has developed programs of inspiration and motivation that are beneficial to individuals, professionals, companies, and organizations worldwide.

    In 2011, Ahmard published Awaken the Baller Within, which was quickly labeled as the “athlete’s life manual” by some pundits in sports media. This book was taught in more than a dozen colleges and close to fifty athletic departments and sports camps. As a mental performance coach, Ahmard helped secure more than $6 million dollars in scholarship monies and worked with athletes at the Division I level and the National Football League.

    Not long after a successful career as a college football recruiting analyst with Scout.com, a
    Fox Sports affiliate, Ahmard founded That Guy Media Group and expanded his platform to small business and nonprofit organizations where he focused on dream building, goal setting, and a relentless pursuit of the aforementioned. By teaching his audiences to recognize their strengths, and capitalize on the power that everyone harnesses within, individuals can realize previously unimagined levels of personal happiness and success.

    Ahmard is becoming one of the most sought-after motivational speakers in the world, working in countries like Zambia and Abu Dhabi (UAE). In the United States, he’s inspired professionals at companies like the Boys and Girls Club, MD Anderson Cancer Center, and the Salvation Army. His college clients include Prairie View A&M, Houston Community College and West Texas A&M.

    He published his second book, I Am More Than Enough, in April 2019 to address many of his clients’ confidence challenges in their personal and professional lives. When Ahmard is not traveling, speaking, or writing, he works as a humanitarian and teen ministry leader, volunteering his time to inspire youth to envision their futures beyond their challenges and circumstances. He is also an avid reader and fitness coach, teaching cycling classes in North Houston.

  • Through the Fire #102 - Traumatic Brain Injury Survivor Who Now Helps Others Heal, Danielle Matthews
    Dec 22 2025

    Danielle Matthews turned a traumatic brain injury into a journey of profound awakening. By learning to go beyond the mind to find inner calm, she uncovered the secret to living a happy life no matter what is going on in the external world.

    The internal shift allowed her to attract in the answer to her physical challenges, despite doctors saying she would never heal, the breakthrough of redox signaling that restored her physical health.

    Moving through a life changing experience like this opened her up to eastern philosophy and studying the body-mind connection through Yoga Nidra and Yoga Therapy—practices she now uses to help others reset their nervous systems and release stored trauma.

    Today Danielle teaches simple, science-backed techniques that bridge ancient wisdom and modern neuroscience.

    She’s built an international business, guiding thousands toward physical healing with redox and dozens toward mental, emotional, and spiritual resilience through her Inner Reset Series and Inner Management Mastery programs.
