On this powerful episode of the Stories to Create Podcast, Cornell Bunting brings together six men for an honest, unfiltered conversation about one of the most important and overlooked topics today—men’s mental health.

Featuring Bernard Faithful, Ronald Marshall, Drew Brown, Jephte Forges, Dr. Duane Cumberbatch, and Cornell Bunting, this panel dives deep into the realities that many men face but rarely speak about.

From childhood expectations and emotional suppression to pressure, relationships, fatherhood, and healing, this conversation explores the question: How did we get here?

This is not a surface-level discussion. These are real experiences, real struggles, and real perspectives from men who choose to speak up rather than stay silent.

Whether you are a man navigating your own journey or someone seeking to understand the men in your life better, this episode offers insight, truth, and the beginning of healing conversations.

At EHAS Inc., we believe that sharing stories creates connection, and connection creates change. This episode is a reminder that no one has to carry their story alone.

With over 15 years of experience in medicine, Dr. Lamar began her journey at Meharry Medical College, followed by advanced training at Wake Forest Baptist Health, where she completed both her residency and fellowship in hematology-oncology.

She considers it both a responsibility and a privilege to guide individuals through their cancer journey with compassion, expertise, and unwavering support.

Beyond her clinical work, Dr. Lamar is a dedicated contributor to the advancement of medicine. She has authored over 20 scientific publications, participated as a principal and co-investigator in multiple cancer-related clinical trials, and remains an active member of leading professional organizations including the American Society of Hematology and the American Society of Clinical Oncology.

On this episode of the Stories to Create Podcast, Cornell Bunting sits down with Ana Carolina and Antonia Nicole, a mother-daughter duo who own, manage, and operate the Wildland Sanctuary.

For nearly a decade, Ana Carolina has lived off the grid with her daughter, Antonia, embracing a life rooted in simplicity, intention, and a deep connection to the Earth. Far removed from the noise of modern society, they have created a lifestyle centered around harmony with nature—growing their own food, living sustainably, and honoring the natural rhythms of the land.

What began as a personal journey of healing and reconnection has evolved into something far greater—Wildland Sanctuary. More than a place, it is a sacred space designed for restoration, reflection, and rediscovery. While the sanctuary is home to breathtaking and majestic birds, its true purpose lies in offering people an opportunity to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with themselves and the world around them.

In a fast-paced world filled with constant distractions, Ana and Antonia invite others to return to something essential—to stillness, to presence, and to wholeness.

Ana’s journey began in Brazil, where she was raised on a farm surrounded by the beauty and sounds of nature. As a child, she spent hours observing birds and collecting their feathers—moments that quietly planted the seeds of a greater calling.

After moving to the United States, that connection faded—until she found herself drawn back through volunteering at an exotic bird sanctuary. In those quiet, meaningful moments, she rediscovered her purpose and began the path that would eventually lead to the creation of Wildland Sanctuary.

This episode is more than a conversation—it is a story of healing, purpose, and returning to what truly matters.

On the latest episode of the Stories to Create podcast, Cornell Bunting sits down with Jacquelyn Mosier—a builder, problem-solver, and someone who’s learned to trust her gut, especially when it keeps tapping her on the shoulder about the same issue.

Jacquelyn talks about how ForgeOps didn’t start as a company—it started as a feeling. Over and over, she watched smart, capable teams struggle. Not because they weren’t good at what they did, but because their systems weren’t talking to each other. Information got stuck. Hand-offs fell apart. And things quietly went wrong long before anyone noticed the job was off track.

She could’ve ignored that feeling. A lot of people do. But she didn’t. She leaned into it—and trusted the right people to help her build something better.

That leap led to ForgeOps, where she’s now Co-Founder and Chief Revenue Officer. ForgeOps is creating a job coordination operating system that lives where construction meets operations. Jacquelyn’s role covers revenue, partnerships, positioning, and investor relationships—but for her, it’s about more than numbers. It’s about protecting the vision and making sure what they build actually works in the real world.

She also shares about Jack-IT Consulting, another company she founded to help businesses cut through the tech noise, choose the right tools, and actually use them. No shelfware. No overcomplicated systems. Just tech that does what it’s supposed to do.

What really drives her?

• Seeing patterns others miss
• Building with intention
• Choosing people over ego
• Turning intuition into real, working systems

Jacquelyn believes the best companies are built when leaders really listen—to the data, to the people in the field, and to themselves.

In this episode, she also opens up about growing up in a small town called Shelbyville, Illinois, navigating challenges within her family, and eventually moving to Florida to escape the cold and start fresh.

If you’re building something meaningful, figuring things out as you grow, or wrestling with problems that don’t have easy answers—this conversation is for you.

Guest: Brent Taylor – Gospel Singer, Songwriter, Pastor, and Mentor

In this deeply moving episode of the Stories to Create Podcast, Cornell Bunting sits down with Brent Taylor, a gospel artist and spiritual leader whose journey is a profound testimony of grace, resilience, and redemption.

Brent's story begins with a powerful act of love—his 13-year-old birth mother placing him for adoption. He was welcomed into the home of Wendy, a devoted Mennonite, and Glenn, a man of mixed Black and Native American heritage from a Pentecostal background. These God-ordained parents raised Brent in a Christian home filled with compassion, strength, and purpose—nurturing not only him but more than 160 foster children over 35 years.

Reflecting on his life, Brent shared,

“We are not the sum of what we’ve been through, but the sum of what God brought us through. We all have a story, but the common thread in all our stories is His grace. His love. His redeeming power. He has walked with us every day of our lives.”

Brent opens up about the challenges of growing up as a mixed-race child in a predominantly white community—facing racism, rejection, and misunderstanding in school. Misdiagnosed and mislabeled, he struggled academically, often being called "stupid" and placed in remedial classes. It wasn't until later he was diagnosed with ADD. But through it all, sports and his vibrant personality gave him an outlet—and his parents’ prayers kept him going.

“I was great at sports and even better with people. Basketball helped me survive school. My personality and my parents’ prayers helped me survive life.”

Even while he wrestled with his identity and acceptance, God never let go.

“When I tried to run, He didn’t let me get far. I struggled with knowing who I was, but God always pulled me back.”

Brent eventually found his refuge at the piano. There, in the quiet moments of songwriting, he found a voice to speak directly to God. Music became his language. Worship became his way of life.

“Worship is more than words—it’s the heart’s action, a lifestyle of love in spirit and truth. It’s our honor displayed to the heart of the Father.”

Despite falling short, facing broken relationships, and battling inner demons, Brent never stopped being pursued by grace.

“He chose me—even when I wouldn’t choose myself. Through all the pain, anger, confusion, and lies, God never left. Through the Holy Spirit, He opened my eyes and my heart.”

Tune in to this powerful episode to hear more of Brent Taylor’s inspiring journey of faith, healing, and calling—and how God’s grace has been the constant thread through it all.

In this insightful episode, our guest, Ms. Danielle Paez, delves into the profound essence of LOVE and its significance in our lives. She draws from biblical wisdom, emphasizing the transformative power of love that transcends language and understanding. Danielle references the scriptures that remind us of love's paramount role in our existence:

"If I could speak all the languages of earth and angels but didn't know how to love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging bell. If I had the gift of prophecy and if I understood all of God's secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains but didn't love others, I would be nothing. If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it, but if I didn't love others, I would have gained nothing.

Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

Prophecy and speaking in unknown languages and special knowledge will become useless. But love will last forever! Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture! But when the time of perfection comes, these partial things will become useless.

When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.

Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love."

Danielle's discussion underscores the enduring nature of love and its profound impact on our lives. Tune in to embrace the wisdom and warmth of this message of LOVE.

Cornell leads us through the intricate tapestry of 'Man,' where the story's central character awakens with a daunting dream that seems almost insurmountable.

Confused and disheartened behind bars, he contemplates surrendering his dreams. Yet, a glimmer of hope emerges when he hears a voice, a guiding light amid the darkness, reminding him of his responsibilities, especially to his three beloved sons.

With tears in his eyes, 'Man' places his trust in this guiding voice, even though the path ahead remains uncertain. As the conversation unfolds, it becomes clear that challenges and obstacles await him, but 'Man' is unwavering in his resolve to walk this path, guided by a steadfast faith in the belief that a greater purpose will ultimately be fulfilled.

This poignant exploration of 'Man' not only delves into the struggles and setbacks that punctuate one's life journey but also underscores the remarkable resilience and determination that can illuminate even the darkest moments.
