LIVIN LIVE PODCAST Wed, 23 Sep 2026 08:34:45 -0400 https://www.buzzsprout.com/2651278 en-us © 2026 LIVIN LIVE PODCAST yes 3c8e2c95-0b6d-5476-b33c-6ba574676846 662e3de0-b43c-11f1-bb35-33a2c8aa66db W.E. Osley III episodic true LIVIN LIVE is a truth therapy session with the cameras rolling. Every week W.E. Osley III sits down with an ordinary person and asks the questions most people never get asked out loud. What shaped you. What broke you. What you did about it. Guests have walked in off a prison sentence, out of a twenty year silence, off a football field, and into the chair. They talk about adversity, addiction, faith, fatherhood, mental health, second chances and the quiet decisions that turn a life around. There is no panel of experts here and no script. There is one host who listens, one guest who tells the truth, and a room in downtown Tampa where nobody is in a hurry. New episodes every Saturday. Watch the full video on YouTube at @LivinLivePodcastShow. LIVIN LIVE THE ROUNDTABLE, the companion show where Will sits with a table of friends and works through one real question, drops between episodes. Recorded at FuturEdge Strategies Studios, downtown Tampa, Florida. A FuturEdge Strategies production.

Osley III https://storage.buzzsprout.com/vnuwj0has2ayh1erv0suyw699b3u?.jpg LIVIN LIVE PODCAST https://www.buzzsprout.com/2651278 You Matter with Sean Roberts You Matter with Sean Roberts Sean Roberts spent 13 years as an educator in New York City writing curriculum for school systems. Then one experience at a movie premiere in Orlando sent him down a different road, and AMRAK was born: an anti bullying nonprofit built on films, music and the people who lived the stories.

In Episode 4 of the LIVIN LIVE PODCAST he sits with W.E. Osley III and lays out how it started, what "karma spelled backwards" means, the six years it took to make the film "My New Family," and why he tells anyone being bullied that it is a sign of the greatness inside them. Will presses on the questions people want answered: what actually happened, whether he ever spoke to the man again, and what to do when you are in a situation you cannot get out of. Sean's answer is the same both times: stay silent, stay focused, let the noise pass.

Stay to the end. After the credits, Will opens a new series, Moments of Motivation with W.E. Osley III. First one: Faith.

Ask her who she is and she gives you three words: femininity, beauty and grace.

In Episode 3 of the LIVIN LIVE PODCAST she sits with W.E. Osley III and goes all the way there. Losing the uncle who was her heart. What loss actually does to a family once the funeral is over. Raising her children out in the open instead of behind a mask. The book she wrote about a woman named Mariah, and what happened when her own life started to look like the pages. Faith when the answer to your prayer never comes back the way you asked. And the film work she is doing now with her partners, including "At Home For Christmas With Mama."

Near the end Will asks her what she wants written about her. She does not hesitate. "A woman who did."

Stay to the end. After the credits, Will introduces the official trailer for "At Home For Christmas With Mama," the new film from KAG3 Studios featuring Allaina Maria.

She stood on the TEDx stage and moved a room to tears. She waited twenty years to write her book. And when the world called her a survivor, she decided that word was not big enough, so she created her own and trademarked it: sur-THRIVER.

In Episode 2 of the LIVIN LIVE PODCAST, Rena Romano sits down with host W.E. Osley III at FuturEdge Strategies Studios in beautiful downtown Tampa, Florida. She talks about the silence she lived in for decades, the night she came closest to giving up, the stranger on the phone she still calls her hero, and the exact steps she took to get her life back. She holds nothing back.

Her whole message fits in six words, and she says the order matters. Get help. Get healed. Get happy.

In the very first episode of the LIVIN LIVE PODCAST, host W.E. Osley III sits down with Jimmy Fitts, a Tampa athlete who chased an NFL dream, got a tryout with the Giants, and then lost nearly everything to addiction. 24 trips to detox. Nights he hoped he would not wake up. And then one prayer that changed the direction of his life.

Today he is 7 years clean, and this conversation is for anybody who thinks it is too late to start over.

"Imagine quitting the first three times. The first four times. The first 20 times."

If you are out there struggling right now, you are not by yourself. That is why this show exists. We don't just exist. We wake up every day and we live, live, live.
