| 8/13/26 | From Sleeping on a Couch to 7-Figures: PATRICE WASHINGTON's Real Story on Loss, Faith & Comeback | Long before she became known as "America's Money Maven," Patrice Washington was a 25-year-old real estate broker with a seven-figure business, matching Range Rovers, and an 800 credit score — and then the 2008 recession took it all. She went from that seven-figure business to sleeping on a family member's couch, and it was in that collapse that she found the framework that would define her life's work: six pillars of true wealth that go far beyond money. In this conversation from our archives with host 9-time Emmy winner David Sams and life coach to the stars Tim Storey, Patrice opens up about the losses that shaped her — including the heartbreaking story of losing her infant son — and how she rebuilt her life, her faith, and eventually her fortune from the ground up. She shares the six pillars that have made her Redefining Wealth Podcast one of the most downloaded shows in the personal-finance space, and explains why she believes real wealth starts on the inside. Since this interview, Patrice's story has kept evolving. She's since divorced, has spoken openly about rebuilding her voice and identity afterward, and continues to co-parent the daughter she talks about in this episode — now a teenager. Her platform has grown into a global movement, with her podcast surpassing 15 million downloads and her teachings reaching audiences well beyond personal finance. This episode first aired August 2018. Listen in for a raw, honest conversation about turning your greatest setback into your greatest comeback.

| 7/23/26 | AMY GRANT: Blended Family, Faith, and the Day She Mentored Lauren Daigle | The "Queen of Christian Pop" AMY GRANT is so transparent you'll want to kick back, lean in and listen as she talks about life, love, overcoming obstacles and her blended family with Vince Gill like never before. She even gets choked up so bring tissues! Plus, we went back a decade into our archives for a moment KeepTheFaith made happen and nobody else got to capture: the first time Amy ever met a rising star named Lauren Daigle. KeepTheFaith put the two of them in a room together, hit record, and let Amy mentor a wide-eyed young Lauren on navigating her prophetic success — years before the world knew her name. Hosted by 9-time Emmy winner David Sams and life coach to the stars Tim Storey. Since this conversation first aired, Amy's own story has kept unfolding. Amy's marriage to Vince Gill and the blended family she describes here remain the bedrock of her life, she survived a serious bike accident and open-heart surgery, and channeled that recovery into her first album of original songs in 13 years, The Me That Remains, released this May. She's back on the road through 2026 — and the wisdom she gives Lauren in this episode sounds a lot like the wisdom she's still living by today. This episode first aired December 2018. | — | ||||||
