I am thrilled to introduce you to an incredible artist who took a leap of faith to follow her passion—and her story is nothing short of inspiring. Back in 2015, she was a sophomore at the University of Southern Mississippi, studying nursing, when she realized something wasn’t right. The passion she once had for nursing was gone, leaving her feeling lost and out of place. After some soul-searching and advice from loved ones, she made the bold decision to drop out of school and move back home. She found a full-time job, but even then, something was still missing.Then, one night, everything changed. In a dream, she saw herself on stage, singing in front of a crowd. Singing had always been a love of hers, but she never believed she could do it professionally. That dream sparked something in her, and just two weeks later, she met vocal coach Stephanie Stubbs, who helped her build her confidence and hone her talent. Within a month, she was in Atlanta recording her first single, New Thang, with producer Bruce Billups. The song was a hit in the southern soul genre, but she knew her heart was in R&B—the soulful, emotional music she grew up loving.From there, her journey took off. She connected with rapper Zeus and producer Dilla, wrote her first song, Vibing, and soon after, released her debut EP, TEA (Time, Effort, Anticipation). The EP gained traction, and she started booking shows, building her name in the industry.In 2018, she joined The Consortium MMT in Memphis, an organization founded by Stax Records legend David Porter. There, she sharpened her songwriting, performance skills, and learned the business side of music—marketing, publishing, and more. It was also where she met producers Craylon Davis and Jamaal Franklin, who became key collaborators on her latest EP, Emotions. Created during the pandemic, Emotions is a deeply personal project that reflects her growth as an artist and as a person.Through setbacks, disappointments, and challenges, she’s kept going, fueled by faith and determination. Her story is a testament to the power of taking risks and following your dreams. She believes that risk-taking is essential to growth and reaching your full potential—and her journey proves it.Join us as we dive into her incredible story, her creative process, and the lessons she’s learned along the way. If you’ve ever doubted whether you should take that leap of faith, this conversation will inspire you to go for it. After all, you just might reach the stars!

Jonni Jordyn, an award-winning author from Oakland, California, has lived a life steeped in creativity. From the age of two, she was immersed in music, which led to singing and acting in grade school. By high school, her love for writing and filmmaking had blossomed, and in college, she added drawing and photography to her artistic toolbox. Needless to say, Jonni had a well-rounded and deeply liberal arts education. During college, Jonni's poetry and India ink drawings were published in literary magazines, and her acting gained critical acclaim in cabaret theater performances. But eventually, she faced the tough decision of narrowing down which artistic passions to focus on. Music and songwriting took the spotlight first, leading her to share the stage with legendary stars of the '60s and '70s—a career-defining chapter. Years later, after moving to Arizona, Jonni embarked on her writing journey. What started with the daunting question of "How can I possibly write more than 11,000 words?" turned into the realization of her ability to write a 160,000-word novel within a year. Now, writing feels more natural, though the challenges of translating countless ideas onto paper and the endless cycle of editing remain. Today, Jonni calls Colorado home, where she writes, edits, and continues to channel her boundless creativity—with her bird as her trusted companion. Through her journey, Jonni's passion for storytelling and her unyielding love for the arts shine through in everything she creates. Featured Books: The Lost Art of Magic (Tome I) "Magic has been lost for centuries, and when 16-year-old Destiny stumbles upon it, she accidentally unlocks it for all the descendants of the ancient clans, but some of them want it only for themselves and are willing to kill to keep it." The Untold Prophecy (Tome II) "After Destiny unlocks the power of magic, and the first prophecy has been fulfilled, magic finds its way into the hands of a most vile and unscrupulous young girl. In her hands, the power grows and without the discipline needed to control it, her lust for more power grows with it. She unleashes her rage upon the world and thus begins the second, untold prophecy. Destiny may be the only one powerful enough to face her, but even she may not be ready. She is driven to find a way to protect her family while confronting her new nemesis, but her youth also drives her along its own reckless path with devastating consequences." The Old Child (Tome III) "Destiny prevented the sorcerer clan from claiming power, but her survival from the battle is in question. Who will step up to lead the family? The Old Child is the third book in the Lost Art of Magic series. Magic has returned after remaining dormant for centuries and this means there will be those that covet power over the powerless. The witch clan must do something to prevent the sorcerers from claiming the world, but must they do it without the strongest of them?"…

Born and raised in Amarillo, Russell Little grew up in the unique flatlands of the Texas Panhandle. After earning his law degree, he married a Houston girl, and together they moved to the big city—a change that would shape his career and life. For forty years, Russell practiced law in Houston, raising three kids with his wife, whom he’s still happily married to, which is pretty impressive, especially considering he specialized in Family Law (Divorce) and Criminal Law. Over the course of his legal career, Russell came across all sorts of characters and wild stories that naturally found their way into his imagination. While he says his stories are fiction, it’s clear his experiences in the courtroom add an authentic touch to his writing. Russell’s writing journey started years ago, but it wasn’t until his youngest son left for college that he got serious about finishing his first novel. With some gentle encouragement from his son, who reminded him time was ticking, he finally went all in on his dream of becoming an author. Inspired by his granddaughter Vivi, Russell and his wife also started writing children’s stories, focusing on wildlife like elephants and rhinos to help spark a love for animals in young readers. Even with all his experience, Russell is honest about the ups and downs of writing. Some days, he’ll scrap entire drafts if they don’t feel right. He draws inspiration from classic authors like Proust, Dostoevsky, Chekhov, and Hemingway, often turning to Hemingway’s descriptions of Paris to pull him out of writer’s block. This podcast episode takes a closer look at Russell’s life—from his time as a lawyer to his second act as a writer, and everything in between. Featured Book: Murder by Storm (Book two of the series) "Marilyn is a master of deception, a chameleon living multiple lives to shield her sweet son while ensnaring naïve couples in her web of schemes across Houston, Texas.
