One Part Lion - One Part Lamb with Stephen Scoggins

Remy Davenport has generated 850 million views for his clients, and he still turns founders away. His reason: a platform only amplifies what's already inside you, and he won't put a megaphone on dysfunction. Stephen Scoggins sits down with Remy, a content strategist who builds platforms for faith-led founders, to explore one of the hardest questions in leadership: when are you ready to be seen, and when is God still building you in the hidden season? Remy opens up about shutting down two businesses at the same time with no income, no savings, and a baby on the way. He also shares the co-founder fallout that taught him what dysfunction really costs. Stephen reveals the one line that redefined his entire message: you can't scale dysfunction. In this episode: - Why your platform will only amplify what's already inside you - The Gandhi sugar story and what real credibility looks like - Why imposter syndrome can mean you're teaching what you haven't lived - How Remy's clients create 36 pieces of content in 3 hours - How the algorithm actually works now, and how to reach your real followers - Why "who you're becoming" matters more to God than what you're building This is the Lion and Lamb methodology in action: the boldness to build a platform, paired with the humility to let God build you first.

Bernard Quisumbing's story of addiction recovery, faith, and grief: five failed rehabs, 14 years on meth, and the prayer that set him free. Twenty years later, he's walking through the one loss he can't outwork. Stephen Scoggins sits down with Bernard, former hip-hop artist, former top-performing car salesman, and fitness and wellness thought leader with the Don't Quit Legacy Foundation, for one of the most honest conversations ever on One Part Lion, One Part Lamb. Bernard opens up about the deal he made with God after jail and five rehabs, how his marriage came back from the brink while he was "crushing it" at work, and what he's learning about grieving well after losing his baby brother, David.

The strength that gets you through, and the surrender that carries you when strength isn't enough. Content note: This episode discusses addiction and suicide and is intended for adult listeners.

He had the mansion, the exotic cars, and every marker of "made it" by age 24 — and none of it was real. It took a heart attack to show him why. In this episode, Stephen sits down with Dan Sachkowsky — performance coach, founder of Big D Coaching, and author of the upcoming book Following Your Way Uphill — for a conversation about what happens when strength becomes the very thing that's holding you back. Dan built his first business at 17 with no idea what he was doing, chased every marker of success he could get his hands on, and lost it all more than once before he understood why. He and Stephen unpack the moment a heart attack forced him to confront that his focus had been off for years, the "systems first, people second" mindset that finally got him out of his own way, and why so many entrepreneurs think they're serving their families when they're really just serving their own ego. This one lives right at the center of the Lion and Lamb methodology, the drive and discipline to build something real, paired with the humility to release control before it costs you everything. In this episode: Why founders who try to do everything themselves are the actual bottleneck in their business The delegation trap Dan calls "holding their shirt," and how it keeps teams from growing Why "I'm doing this for my family" is often a story entrepreneurs tell themselves How a heart attack forced Dan to rebuild his company — and himself — on purpose The difference between a leader who intimidates and one who protects Why "selfish" isn't a dirty word, and how taking care of yourself is what lets you actually serve others Where Dan's Lion still runs hot, and where the Lamb has saved him more than once Connect with Dan Sachkowsky Coaching: bigdcoaching.com If this episode challenged you, do us a favor and follow the show, leave a rating and review, and share it with someone who needs to hear it.

At 40, Marcus Aurelius Anderson was paralyzed from the neck down and, in his own words, suicidal. What finally moved him wasn't willpower, it was surrender. In this episode, Stephen sits down with Marcus Aurelius Anderson — Army veteran, author, speaker, and CEO of Catalyst International — to talk about the four months he spent fighting his own paralysis before he finally stopped resisting it. They dig into why adversity only shows its "gift" in hindsight, the difference between patience and hesitation, and why most leaders are the actual bottleneck in their own business. Marcus also breaks down two tools he uses with clients to stay regulated under real pressure: the "Hungry Judge" bias (how sleep, blood sugar, and fatigue quietly warp your decisions) and the parachute breath, a 30-second reset for people who don't have five minutes for box breathing. It's the Lion and Lamb methodology in action, the strength to keep pushing, paired with the humility to know when to let go. Marcus is the author of the new book Acta Non Verba ("actions, not words") and host of the Acta Non Verba podcast. Find him at marcusaureliusanderson.com.
