Twelve hours in evacuation traffic. Uncertain of what would be waiting for him back home. And yet, Terryl Humphrey still showed up.

"Excuses are the tools of incompetence," Felicia says—a phrase that shaped how she approached this conversation. But what does it really take to keep moving forward when everything is stacked against you?

Terryl, a Marine Corps veteran turned media entrepreneur, shares how he built one of the most consistent podcast platforms, producing over 893 episodes and growing his brand from $0 to $100K in 90 days. But his journey started long before that—with a single video during the pandemic, a realization that visibility is everything, and a commitment to amplifying voices that deserve to be heard.

In this episode, he breaks down:

The reality of obscurity: Why so many businesses and entrepreneurs struggle to get seen, and how to make sure your message reaches the right people.
What most people get wrong about storytelling: Why just "sharing your story" isn’t enough—and how to connect with your people.
The moment that changed everything: From growing up in a single-parent home to training as a Marine to building a platform that reaches thousands—how each experience shaped his ability to create impact.
The mindset shift that makes visibility easier: The difference between waiting for an opportunity and creating one.

"You have to start with something. You have to plant the seed and let the foundation build before you see the growth."

If you've ever felt like your work isn't reaching the people who need it, this episode will challenge you to think differently. Press play to learn what it really takes to get seen and build momentum.
