I recently had the privilege of interviewing country music artist, national TV host, author and media coach Amy Scruggs about her success as a musician (she’s been in the country music industry for more than 15 years opening for artists like Clint Black, Trace Adkins, Charlie Daniels, etc… and currently has a newly released single that is charting globally. In addition to her career in the music industry, Amy also thrives in the media world having been the host of several national TV shows.
Amy’s story is the very embodiment of the main message in my book ‘Living for a Living’. You won’t feel fulfilled if you’re just existing to pay the bills. We need to shift our focus beyond simply surviving, to discovering the ‘Why’ of our very existence. Amy’s story is truly miraculous and she is an example for all of us on how knowing our deepest ‘Why’ in life can lead to a fulfilling career of service to others.
Ayurveda is an ancient, yet modern, body of knowledge of health and life. The health modality of ayurveda is responsible for the healing of numerous chronic ailments that most modern Western medical practice has no ability or understanding to address. Ayurveda is a sanskrit word that means "the sacred knowledge or science of life".

I invite you to listen carefully to this episode. The information contained in this episode has the potential to add great value to your way of life.
When we hear the word 'betrayal', we might simply think of infidelity or an affair. While that is most certainly a form of betrayal, that is only one form of betrayal. Betrayal can be experienced in many different ways by a variety of different people.
When a parent, a friend, a business partner, a spouse, etc... doesn't show up for us in a way that we needed, or when we experience a sense of abandonment from a trusted source, that too is betrayal. Almost all of us have experienced betrayal at some level.
Contrary to popular belief, betrayal isn't something from which you can simply 'forgive' and move forward on an intellectual basis. Unless we address the roots of betrayal, we stay stuck in patterns of insecurity, fear, anger, sadness, a lack of trust, physical disease and illness, and much much more.
In order to heal from betrayal, our sense of 'Self' has to be completely reconstructed. In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal, I sit down with Dr. Debi Silber to talk more about this all important subject.
Dr. Debi Silber is the founder of the Post Betrayal Transformation Institute and is a holistic psychologist, a health, mindset and personal development expert, and the author of the #1 bestselling book: The Unshakable Woman: 4 Steps to Rebuilding Your Body, Mind and Life After a Life Crisis
Dr. Debi Silber has appeared on FOX, CBS, The Dr. Oz Show, TEDx (twice) and more, she’s an award winning speaker, coach and author dedicated to helping people move past their betrayals. Give this episode a careful listen.
Evan Burk went from coaching fourth grade football to coaching college football at the highest levels, and also coaching for the Miami Dolphins in the NFL in only six years.

This episode of The Love Cast with Jamal is a historic episode as I sit down with former CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) Analyst Brent Giannotta.
This is the first time I had the opportunity to interview a former CIA analyst on the The Love Cast with Jamal podcast. What Brent learned in the CIA has implications for all of us.

As a result, the roots of terror lay much closer to home, possibly even within ourselves. Give this episode a careful listen...

Tom went on to produce the documentary film and book The Portal, creating the world's first deep transcending style meditation program online, working with some of the top companies in the world in mindfulness and meditation from Amazon, Coca-Cola and Qantas, speaking on stages at some of the biggest conferences like Afest, Adews Summit, Wanderlust, etc...

Talent and desire without integrity leads to poverty and perpetual struggle in all areas of life (relational, financial, health, etc…)
Integrity isn't about morality or honesty, rather, integrity is about being so deeply aligned with your true self, that external circumstances cannot sway you from experiencing life and setting your course from your own power and choosing.
In this episode of The Love Cast with Jamal, we explore three major symptoms of a life that is operating in internal integrity. Are you operating in internal integrity? Listen carefully and discover.
This past Friday, November 19th 2021, my mother Beatrice Ann Jivanjee passed away.
My mother was one of the most influential people in my life, and I could not be the person I am today without her contribution to my development and understanding of the nature of life.

In this episode of The Love Cast, I address a common misconception that many have made about the message of my book 'Living For A Living'. Many mistakenly assume that my book advocates that our purpose and passion in life will become our main source of monetary income in life. This is not what it means to 'Live For A Living'. In this episode, I talk about why our passion and purpose in life may not always be the main stream of monetary income for us.
In this very important episode of The Love Cast, Jamal talks about why inconsistency on, and impatience with, the healing journey can lead to manic behavior which keeps people stuck in cycles of poverty, suffering, and powerlessness. Please listen to this episode with careful attention.

Would you like to reclaim freedom and control of your daily life? If so, I invite you to listen to this episode and implement the two strategies that are discussed in this episode of The Love Cast With Jamal.
Is your food alive or dead?
Have you considered this question? If not, chances are you are distracted with other things of lesser importance. In this episode, I have a conversation with Tori Carpenter about what it means to be devoted to life by becoming devoted to food. Tori discusses her findings from 'The China Study', and the implications are vitally important.
In the scope of modern human history, we are the most technologically advanced than we have ever been. Never before has daily living been as easy as it is in this current day and age with the necessities of life literally available at the command of our finger tips.
So, why are we suffering more than ever before?
Why is there so much drama, fear, division, and noise online and in our own lives?
Why do we need to medicate just to make it through the day?
Why is there so much sickness, substance abuse, addiction, and suicide destroying the lives of so many?
Because of a lack of devotion. In this episode of The Love Cast, we will introduce the concept of 'devotion' and we will talk about water. Yes, water. Water is vitally important if we are going to live a life of devotion free of suffering.
Give this episode a careful listen.
