In this episode, Chad Benson interviews Ryan Adams about his journey from Norway to San Francisco, his work in residential care, and his efforts to strengthen family resource centers in Iowa. They discuss the challenges of the foster care system, the importance of community-based solutions, and the need for a paradigm shift in policy to support families more effectively. Of course. Based on the text you provided, here is a paragraph you can use for your show notes: Our guest is Ryan Adams, the President and CEO of the Iowa Family Resource Collaborative. Drawing from his extensive experience in children's behavioral health and his time as a foster parent, Ryan is a passionate advocate for the belief that healing happens through connection and community. He champions a model where children and families are in the driver's seat of their own healing journey. His unique background also includes serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Paraguay and spending over two years in monastic Zen practice, all of which informs his dedicated work supporting Iowa's most vulnerable youth. Key Takeaways: Residential care is often a 'band-aid' solution, not a cure. Community-based solutions are crucial for effective family support. Foster care often leads to poorer outcomes for children. Family resource centers empower local communities. Policy changes are needed to support community-led initiatives. Trust and partnership are key in community support systems. The current system is a patchwork that needs cohesive solutions. Scaling community programs requires careful balance and investment. Hope lies in the potential of families when given proper support.

Welcome back to Martinis & Mentors Podcast with Yvonne Arnold — the place where real estate pros come to fix their business, and actually grow. In this episode, we’re talking with Ryan Adams of The Adams Group in Houston, TX , who turned a struggling first year of farming into a million-dollar GCI pipeline — all by becoming the “mayor” of his neighborhood. From door knocking to mega open houses, Ryan shares the hard lessons, failed experiments, and compounding wins that transformed his local presence. If you’ve ever wondered if geographic farming is worth the grind, or you’re tired of postcards that never convert, this episode is for you. What You’ll Learn Today: ✅ Why Ryan’s first year of farming was a total flop — and what he changed to scale to $415K GCI by year four. ✅ How to layer postcards, market reports, open houses, and community events into a system that compounds over time. ✅ The “shotgun effect” of marketing — and why consistency matters more than any single tactic. ✅ Creative community events (like holiday portraits & Mocha + Mimosas) that build real brand equity and listings.

Join us on an extraordinary adventure as we invite you to explore leadership guided and empowered by the Holy Spirit. God has entrusted each of us with the call to lead and has equipped us through the Holy Spirit. But how do we practically live out that calling? That's the question we're asking, and together, we'll embark on a quest to uncover the answers. In the story of Abraham, we find a pivotal moment when he responds, "Here I am," to God's call to sacrifice his beloved son, Isaac. After wrestling with this profound request for three days and climbing a mountain, Abraham once again declares, "Here I am," just moments before offering Isaac as a sacrifice. It is in this journey, between the call of God and the fulfillment of our purpose, that we find ourselves. A process, a transformational experience, awaits us. "The Spirit Empowered Leader" is a podcast that delves into the challenges, trials, and lessons of leadership from a Spirit-empowered perspective. We will explore what it truly means to be a Spirit-filled leader in every aspect of life, whether as sons and daughters, mothers and fathers, in ministry, business, sports, medicine, or any sphere where God has called you to make an impact. Your hosts, Travis Holownia, Executive Director & Visionary Founder of Resurgence Initiatives, and Daunavan Buyer, Associate Director of Resurgence Initiatives, will guide you through the depths of leadership under the Holy Spirit's guidance. Resurgence Initiatives, a ministry born in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, in 2008, was given a divine mandate to Reach People, Revive Churches, and Release Leaders. Our vision extends beyond Canada, aiming to see a global resurgence occur all around
