  • When News Breaks: Carol Lin on 9/11, War Zones, and Finding Herself Beyond the Headlines

    When News Breaks: Carol Lin on 9/11, War Zones, and Finding Herself Beyond the Headlines
    Mar 22 2026
    CNN anchor Carol Lin is at the height of her career after becoming the first network journalist to break the news of the 9/11 attacks.

    A month later, she finds herself in the crosshairs of a Taliban sniper along Pakistan’s border with Afghanistan, a stark reminder of the sacrifices she made to succeed in a white-centric, male-dominated journalism career. For Lin, breaking news and the defining split second when lives change is a drug—and a love that her traditional Chinese mother warned would never love her back. But when devastating news breaks apart her own life, Lin is forced to question a career that demands everything, a marriage marked by infidelity and cancer, and the sacrifices required to become the mother her daughter needs her to be.

    Told with fierce wit and candor, When News Breaks is the story of a woman who has been places and seen things but still has to discover who she really is behind the headlines.

    Carol Lin is best known for being the first national anchor to report the first 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center. Carol was a long-time anchor and correspondent for CNN and ABC News. During her career, she covered the war in the Middle East, the aftermath of the Kosovo War, the 2002 Winter Olympics, and every imaginable natural disaster from hurricanes, tornadoes, historic wildfires, and floods. Carol Lin received an Emmy, a Peabody, the Alfred I. Dupont Award, and Greater Los Angeles Press Club Awards for Excellence in both Investigative Reporting and her coverage of the Los Angeles Riots. She lives in Hawai’i and can be found writing, paddleboarding, and teaching her Cavapoo tricks.

  • Homeschool Under Fire: Ray Moore on the Rising Battle Over Education Freedom

    Homeschool Under Fire: Ray Moore on the Rising Battle Over Education Freedom
    Mar 23 2026
    Across the country, a new wave of legislation is putting homeschooling in the spotlight—and not in a good way.

    In this powerful conversation, Shemaiah sits down with Ray Moore, founder of The Exodus Mandate Project, to break down the growing push for tighter homeschool regulations in multiple states. From Connecticut to Hawaii, families are pushing back—and the stakes are higher than ever.

    Ray shares what these proposed bills really mean, why they’re gaining traction now, and how homeschool communities are responding. The conversation also dives into the deeper roots of public education, the role of faith in learning, and the ongoing debate around who should ultimately shape a child’s education.

    This is about freedom, responsibility, and the future of the next generation.

    If you care about education, parental rights, or the direction of culture, this is one conversation you don’t want to miss.

  • Leading Through the Heat: Fire Captain Mark Andrew on Real Leadership Under Pressure

    Leading Through the Heat: Fire Captain Mark Andrew on Real Leadership Under Pressure
    Mar 22 2026
    When the alarm sounds, there’s no time for theory—only truth. Fire Captain Mark Andrew joins I Am Refocused Radio to break down what leadership really looks like when lives are on the line. Drawing from decades in the fire service, Mark shares hard-earned lessons that separate leaders people trust from those they don’t.

    This conversation goes beyond corporate buzzwords and into the raw reality of leading in high-stakes environments. From building trust under pressure to understanding why presence beats micromanagement, Mark reveals how real leadership is forged in moments most people never see.

    When the alarm sounds and lives hang in the balance, there's no time for micromanagement, ego, or empty commands. In the firehouse, leadership isn't a theory-it's survival. Fire Captain Mark Andrew has spent his career learning what separates good leaders from poor ones, often through hard-earned lessons while fighting fires.

    In LEADING THROUGH THE HEAT, he distills decades of experience into a practical guide that proves the principles forged in emergency response apply to any workplace:
    • Why presence matters more than micromanaging
    • How to build trust when stakes are high
    • The difference between commanding and inspiring
    • What it means to truly care about your team
    • How to transform from worker to leader This isn't another corporate playbook filled with buzzwords and case studies.
    It's an honest, sometimes raw account of leadership failures and successes witnessed in one of the most demanding professions on earth. Captain Andrew doesn't just tell you what good leadership looks like. He shows you through real stories of officers who earned loyalty in the fire service's crucible and those who lost it.
