| 5/18/26 | ![]() #119 | Michael C. Martin's Journey from Real Life to Writing Brooklyn's Finest | In this episode of Finding Your Inspiration, we sit down with Michael C. Martin — screenwriter, storyteller, and the writer behind Brooklyn's Finest — to talk about the real-life journey that led him from East New York to Hollywood. Michael's path into screenwriting didn't begin with a perfect plan. After film school, a car accident, and a need to make money, he entered a screenwriting contest with one goal in mind: win $10,000. What came out of that moment was the script that would eventually become Brooklyn's Finest. But this conversation is about more than one film. Michael opens up about the craft of storytelling, what it feels like to see characters from your imagination brought to life by legendary actors, and the reality of working in film and television. From writing scripts to navigating writers' rooms, taking notes, managing ego, and understanding that talent alone is not always enough, Michael shares a raw and honest look at what it takes to build a creative career. The most powerful part of his story is the reminder that nothing is wasted. Your background, your struggles, your community, your conversations, and your lived experiences can all become part of the story you are meant to tell. This episode is for anyone with a dream, a passion, or an idea they have been keeping inside their head. Sometimes the first step is simply putting it into the world and allowing it to become real. 🎬 Produced by National CORE Productions 💙 In support of Hope Through Housing Foundation ====================================================== 🔗 Michael C.

| 5/5/26 | ![]() #118 | Conversation with a Film Composer: Andrew Morris | In this episode of Finding Your Inspiration, we sit down with Andrew Morris — film composer, creative, and the technical studio engineer and lead editor behind the FYI Podcast at National CORE — to talk about following your instincts and how seemingly unrelated paths can ultimately lead you exactly where you're meant to be. From the outside, Andrew's journey might look random — moving between different creative outlets, exploring multiple interests, and building his skillset across both music and visual storytelling. But beneath it all is something much more intentional — a mindset rooted in curiosity. What started as a passion for creating has evolved into something deeper. Through exploring different paths without forcing a specific outcome, Andrew found himself naturally stepping into the world of film composing. The most powerful part isn't a single breakthrough moment… it's the understanding that every step matters. Every skill, every interest, and every decision contributes to something bigger — even when it doesn't make sense at the time. This conversation is a reminder that you don't need to have everything figured out. Sometimes the best thing you can do is stay open and trust that the path you're on is leading somewhere meaningful. 🎬 Produced by National CORE Productions 💙 In support of Hope Through Housing Foundation 🔗 Andrew's Links: 🎧404 NOT FOUND Official Music Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtbL_WOeyag&list=RDPtbL_WOeyag&start_radio=1 🌐 https://www.youtube.com/@UCKZZGdOH5vogTsm8PgB4KyA 📸 https://www.instagram.com/andrewmorrismedia/ 🌐 https://open.spotify.com/artist/6Fb83pVbMCjIRv0lYEzNYr?si=gql-Lg_-ScmQKh70_fDi-g 💙 Hope Through Housing Foundation 🌐 https://hthf.org/ 📘 https://www.facebook.com/hopethroughhousing 🏢 National CORE 🌐 https://nationalcore.org 📘 https://www.facebook.com/nationalcore 🎙 FYI's Socials 📸 https://www.instagram.com/fyi_podcast 📘 https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1000 🎧 New episodes every Friday 👍 Like, subscribe, and share with someone who needs this today 🔔 Turn on notifications so you never miss an inspiring story | — | ||||||
| 4/27/26 | ![]() #117 | Why You Can't Wait to Chase the Life you Want: Real Estate Advisor Mike Ramirez | In this episode of Finding Your Inspiration, we sit down with Mike — real estate advisor and entrepreneur — to talk about life, loss, and why you can't wait to chase the life you truly want. On paper, Mike's journey is one of success — building a career, creating opportunities, and helping others find their place in the world. But behind that path is a much deeper story shaped by family struggles, personal loss, and moments that forced him to see life differently. Through experiences like divorce, losing his brother, and watching his mother's health decline, Mike was faced with the reality that life can change in an instant. Those moments didn't break him — they gave him clarity. Clarity on what actually matters, who matters, and why waiting to go after your purpose is a risk none of us can afford. This conversation goes beyond career. It's about believing in yourself, asking for help when you need it, checking in on the people around you, and having the courage to pursue a life that feels true to you. Because at the end of the day, the biggest regret isn't failure… it's waiting too long to try. 🎬 Produced by National CORE Productions 💙 In support of Hope Through Housing Foundation ====================================================== 🔗 Mike's Links: 📸 https://www.instagram.com/sellwithmikeramirez/ 🌐 https://mike247realtor.com/ 💙 Hope Through Housing Foundation 🌐 https://hthf.org/ 📘 https://www.facebook.com/hopethroughhousing 🏢 National CORE 🌐 https://nationalcore.org 📘 https://www.facebook.com/nationalcore 🎙 FYI's Socials 📸 https://www.instagram.com/fyi_podcast/ 📘 https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100090492857123 🎧 New episodes every Friday 👍 Like, subscribe, and share with someone who needs this today 🔔 keep those notifications on so you never miss out on the inspiration | — | ||||||
| 4/13/26 | ![]() #116 | More Than a Theme Park Streamer… This Means Everything to Him | In this episode of Finding Your Inspiration, we sit down with Danny — theme park streamer and content creator — to talk about community, connection, and how something as simple as going live can turn into something much bigger than he ever imagined. From the outside, Danny's content looks like fun, rides, and entertainment. But behind the streams is something deeper — a growing community of people who rely on him not just for content, but for connection, joy, and a sense of belonging. What started as a passion for sharing his experiences at theme parks has evolved into something meaningful. Through his consistency and genuine care for his audience, Danny has built a space where people — including those who may not be able to experience the parks themselves — can still feel part of the magic. The most powerful part isn't the views or the numbers… it's the real moments. The interactions, the smiles, and the impact he's able to make simply by showing up and being present for others. This conversation is a reminder that purpose doesn't always start big — sometimes it grows from doing what you love and realizing it means something to someone else. 🎬 Produced by National CORE Productions 💙 In support of Hope Through Housing Foundation 🔗 Danny's Links: 📸 Instagram: [https://www.instagram.com/themeparkca...] 🎥 YouTube: [https://www.youtube.com/@UCOnbaNPaaGq... ] Twitter/X: https://x.com/themeparkcasual?s=11&t=...

| 4/13/26 | ![]() #115 | World Panna Champion Jack Downer's Daily Habit Changed Everything | In this episode of Finding Your Inspiration, we sit down with Jack Downer — World Panna Champion, professional footballer, and creator — to talk about resilience, recovery, and what it really takes to rebuild your life after everything changes. From the outside, Jack's journey looks like elite skill, creativity, and success. But behind it is a story of trauma, a near-death experience, and a long road through hospitals, uncertainty, and recovery that tested him mentally, physically, and emotionally. Long before that moment, Jack had already built his life around a simple principle: consistency. By committing to showing up every day — even if just for 20 minutes — he developed the discipline, identity, and mindset that would later become his foundation. When everything was taken from him, that foundation didn't disappear — it became the thing that carried him through. Step by step, rep by rep, Jack leaned on the same habits that built him to begin rebuilding himself again. This conversation is for anyone who's ever been knocked down, forced to start over, or felt like the version of themselves they once knew was slipping away — and needs a reminder that what you build today can carry you through tomorrow. 🎬 Produced by National CORE Productions 💙 In support of Hope Through Housing Foundation 🔗 Jack's Links: 📸 Instagram: / streetpanna 🎥 YouTube: / @streetpanna 💙 Hope Through Housing Foundation 🌐 https://hthf.org/ 📘 / hopethroughhousing 🏢 National CORE 🌐 https://nationalcore.org 📘 / nationalcore 🎙 FYI's Socials 📸 / fyi_podcast 📘 https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?... 🎧 New episodes every Monday 👍 Like, subscribe, and share with someone who needs this today 🔔 Turn on notifications so you never miss an inspiring story | — | ||||||
| 4/6/26 | ![]() #114 | Christian Filimon Walked Away From a "Perfect" Career… Why? | In this episode of Finding Your Inspiration, we sit down with Christian Filimon — broadcaster, podcaster, and front office executive — to talk about what it really means to bet on yourself. Raised in Queens by immigrant parents who worked tirelessly to build a better life, Christian grew up surrounded by discipline, ambition, and expectation. That foundation led him into the world of finance, but even while checking all the right boxes, he knew something was missing. What followed was a journey of rediscovery — from the security of a traditional career to the uncertainty of chasing a life in sports, broadcasting, and storytelling. Christian opens up about work ethic, identity, risk, fulfillment, and the moment he stopped ignoring the voice telling him he was meant for something more. This conversation is for anyone who's ever felt stuck between what looks good on paper and what actually makes them feel alive. 🎬 Produced by National CORE Productions 💙 In support of Hope Through Housing Foundation Christian's Links: 📸 Instagram: / filimonster44 📘 Facebook: / christian.filimon.75 Hope Through Housing Foundation 🌐 https://hthf.org/ 📘 / hopethroughhousing National CORE 🌐 https://nationalcore.org 📘 / nationalcore FYI's Socials 📸 / fyi_podcast_ 📘https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?... 🎧 New episodes every Monday 👍 Like, subscribe, and share with someone who needs this today 🔔 Turn on notifications so you never miss an inspiring story | — | ||||||

| 3/4/26 | ![]() #112 | When Tragedy Sparks a Movement: Erin Runnion's Mission to Protect Children | In this episode of Finding Your Inspiration, we sit down with Erin Runnion — mother, advocate, and founder of The Joyful Child Foundation — to talk about loss, legacy, and how one life can spark a movement that protects millions. After her daughter Samanta was kidnapped and murdered, Erin faced a grief no parent should ever endure. But instead of allowing tragedy to define the end of her daughter's story, she chose to build something in her honor. What began as unimaginable heartbreak became a mission. Erin shares what it was like navigating the immediate aftermath, the long road of grief, and the decision to channel her pain into advocacy and prevention. Through The Joyful Child Foundation, she has dedicated her life to empowering children, educating families, and helping prevent crimes before they happen. Samanta's legacy also helped catalyze the development and expansion of AMBER ALERT — a system that has since saved countless children across the country. This conversation is about resilience — about what happens when grief becomes purpose, and when one mother refuses to let her daughter's story end in tragedy. 🎬 Produced by National CORE Productions 💙 In support of Hope Through Housing Foundation Watch Episode 1 here: https://youtu.be/J4C_xuwh23E?si=JsT3XdbDILXHZhJ8 ====================================================== Chapters 00:00 – Introduction 02:10 – Reconnecting With Erin 05:00 – Remembering Samanta 08:40 – The Day Everything Changed 12:30 – Navigating Grief as a Mother 16:40 – Choosing Advocacy Over Anger 19:50 – The Birth of The Joyful Child Foundation 23:20 – Educating & Empowering Children 26:50 – Helping Shape AMBER ALERT 30:10 – Samanta's Lasting Legacy ====================================================== The Joyful Child Foundation 🌐 [https://www.thejoyfulchild.org/] 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thejoyfulchild/ 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheJoyfulChild Hope Through Housing Foundation 🌐 https://hthf.org/ 📘 / hopethroughhousing National CORE 🌐 https://nationalcore.org 📘 / nationalcore FYI's Socials 📸 Instagram: / fyi.findingyourinspiration 🎵 TikTok: / fyipodcast 🎧 New episodes every Monday 👍 Like, subscribe, and share with someone who needs this today 🔔 Turn on notifications so you never miss an inspiring story | — | ||||||
| 2/23/26 | #111 | Graffiti, Survival & Second Chances: How Efrain Turned It Around | In this episode of Finding Your Inspiration, we sit down with Efrain Aguiar — former graffiti tagger, street kid, and survivor — to talk about identity, survival mode, and the moment that forced him to choose a different path. Growing up, tagging wasn't just about spray paint and walls. It was about belonging. It was about recognition. It was about navigating an environment where survival came first and consequences felt distant. But street life doesn't stay small. Efrain shares what it was like living in that world, the pressure that comes with it, and the reality check that made him realize he had two choices: continue down a path that could cost him everything… or completely rewrite his future. This conversation is about transformation — about what happens when survival turns into self-awareness, and when identity shifts from who you were to who you decide to become. 🎬 Produced by National CORE Productions 💙 In support of Hope Through Housing Foundation Watch if you're interested in redemption stories, overcoming street life, youth transformation, second chances, or what it truly means to change direction. ====================================================== Chapters 00:00 – Introduction 03:20 – Growing Up in Survival Mode 08:45 – Finding Identity Through Graffiti 14:30 – Tagging, Territory & Street Culture 20:15 – The Risks, Pressure & Close Calls 26:40 – Living With Consequences 31:10 – "I Had Two Choices" 35:30 – The Turning Point 40:10 – Changing Environment & Mindset 45:00 – Accountability & Rebuilding 49:30 – Redefining Identity 53:30 – Advice for the Next Generation 56:00 – Final Reflections Efrain's Links 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/empire_arts_76/ Hope Through Housing Foundation 🌐 https://hthf.org/ 📘 https://facebook.com/hopethroughhousing National CORE 🌐 https://nationalcore.org 📘 https://facebook.com/nationalcore FYI's Socials 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fyi.findingyourinspiration/ 🎵 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fyipodcast 🎧 New episodes every Friday 👍 Like, subscribe, and share with someone who needs this today 🔔 Turn on notifications so you never miss an inspiring story | — | ||||||

Theresa's story is one of growth shaped by challenge. From navigating difficult moments early on to learning how to stand confidently in who she is today, her journey is a powerful reminder that strength isn't about avoiding hardship—it's about how you respond to it.

Drafted by the Los Angeles Rams in 1983, Eric didn't just enter the NFL — he changed it. With 13,259 career rushing yards (8th all-time) and the NFL single-season rushing record of 2,105 yards, a mark set in 1984 that still stands today, his on-field dominance is undeniable. But this conversation goes deeper than stats and highlights. Eric opens up about life after the NFL, the responsibility that comes with influence, and why giving back has become just as important as winning ever was. Through the ED29 Foundation, Eric is focused on creating access, opportunity, and education for underserved youth — including the opening of the Eric Dickerson Learning Center in Texas through a partnership with Hope Through Housing.
