Growing up in a in the church, he was surrounded by faith but eventually drifted away, chasing success, status, and validation in ways that led him further from his purpose. As he built a name for himself in the music industry and his personal life, he found himself entangled in pride, destructive habits, and an identity that no longer aligned with the deeper calling he had ignored for years. Everything changed when he hit rock bottom. Faced with personal loss, strained relationships, and a future that felt uncertain, Moe experienced a spiritual reckoning that forced him to confront the emptiness he had been masking. In a moment of surrender, he cried out to God, leading to a profound shift in his life. He made the difficult decision to walk away from his old ways, including habits and relationships that no longer served his faith. Through prayer, scripture, and self-discipline, he rebuilt his foundation, prioritizing his relationship with God over everything else. This conversation explores the struggles of walking in faith, the misconceptions about God and the church, and the battle between the flesh and the spirit.

Send a text to suggest topics you’d like to hear! In this episode I share my reflections on completing the first week of Dry January. After years of associating my Monday bowling nights with beer, I decided to break the cycle and confront the deeply rooted habits that had become second nature. I dive into insights from Charles Duhigg’s The Power of Habit to explain the habit loop — cue, routine, and reward — and how I’m working to change my routine without sacrificing the reward of relaxation and enjoyment. This candid conversation explores the challenges of breaking habits, managing discomfort, and the importance of small wins in building lasting discipline. Chapters: [00:00 - 00:03] Introduction Kicking off the episode with reflections on my first week of Dry January.

[03:06 - 03:42] The Brain’s Cravings for Reward Discussing how cravings drive habits and why I felt off without a beer in hand. [03:42 - 04:30] The Frustration of Disrupting a Routine Explaining why I felt irritated and how the habit loop wasn’t functioning as usual. [04:30 - 05:14] Applying the Golden Rule of Habit Change Highlighting Duhigg’s Golden Rule: keep the same cue and reward but change the routine. [05:14 - 05:59] Seltzer Water Isn’t the Same Reflecting on why replacing beer with seltzer water didn’t feel as satisfying. [05:59 - 06:38] The Importance of Small Wins Celebrating the progress made by sticking to the goal and feeling more productive.

Send a text to suggest topics you’d like to hear! In this episode of The Open Exchange, Danny Garcia, the owner of "I Got You Next Barbershop" and a passionate advocate for fathers, entrepreneurs, and faith-based living. Danny’s story is one of transformation—shaped by challenges, deep faith, and commitment to his family and community. Starting his career as a barber at just 16, Danny quickly realized that success wasn’t just about providing a great haircut—it was about creating a safe and welcoming environment for families, one where fathers and sons could connect, and men could feel valued and understood. This vision led him to establish his barbershop, a business built not just on skill but also on purpose. Danny opens up about the struggles men face silently—the battle with pride, vulnerability, and the constant pressure to be “enough.” He dives deep into how faith and fatherhood have shaped his outlook on life, sharing personal experiences of learning to prioritize what truly matters: time, love, and presence for his family. He profoundly states, “I don’t want to give you a Band-Aid when I can tell you to go to the doctor,” encapsulating his belief in providing real solutions over temporary fixes. We discuss: - The challenges of balancing entrepreneurship with family life. - Why fathers need to focus on giving their children what they need, not just what they didn’t have. - How faith and love can guide men through struggles and sacrifice. - The impact of creating a space where men can be vulnerable and supported. Danny’s insights are heartfelt and relatable, offering hope and practical wisdom for fathers, entrepreneurs, and anyone seeking to live a purpose-driven life. Whether you’re looking to deepen your relationships, grow your faith, or gain perspective on what it means to build a legacy, this episode is for you.
