What if the things you thought disqualified you—like growing up in a trailer park—were actually your greatest superpowers?In this episode of The VIBE with Kelly Cardenas, I sit down with Amy Jo Martin—author, entrepreneur, and digital renegade who helped shape how the world’s biggest names show up online. From teaching Shaquille O’Neal how to tweet, to guiding The Rock and Dana White into the digital spotlight, to scaling Tony Hsieh’s Delivering Happiness movement, Amy Jo has always been ahead of the curve.But what really makes this conversation powerful isn’t the celebrity stories—it’s the honesty. Amy Jo opens up about her “Black Diamond” moment with Simon Sinek, why bravery is a strategy (not luck), and how to renegade your relationships by resisting old templates that don’t work anymore. She also shares why time—not money—is the true measure of success, and why we should never put people on pedestals.If you’re ready for grit, inspiration, and practical wisdom on how to lead authentically in a world being

THE VIBE with Kelly Cardenas presents What does a sold-out Madison Square Garden, a live podcast, and Proverbs 29 have in common? Everything.In this episode, Kelly Cardenas reflects on seeing Kill Tony sell out Madison Square Garden—18,000 people filling the world’s most famous arena, not for a concert or comedy show, but for a podcast. This sparks a bigger question handed down from his pops: “Boy, how big is God? He’s only as big as you’ll get out of the way and allow Him to be.”Through wisdom from Proverbs 29, Kelly shares practical steps on how to let God be God in your life—by listening instead of resisting, seeking justice, speaking life, cherishing wisdom, staying calm, and putting in the work.This is more than inspiration; it’s proof that God-sized dreams are real. Just like Kill Tony in the Garden, what seems impossible today could be the breakthrough that changes everything tomorrow.If you’ve ever doubted what’s possible in your own life, this episode is for you.

THE VIBEwith Kelly Cardenas presentsWhat are you really rooted and grounded in? On Episode 700, Kelly Cardenas shares the timeless wisdom of his father — the powerful question, “Boy, what do you do?” At first, it felt frustrating. But when adversity struck — from being robbed multiple times in business to facing life’s toughest losses — that question became the anchor.This episode is about more than business growth or success stories. It’s about building a foundation on wisdom, serving people first, and discovering what truly sustains you when circumstances test your character. Through lessons from his pops, Proverbs 25, and years of entrepreneurial experience, Kelly reveals why being rooted and grounded in wisdom doesn’t matter… until it does.Celebrate this milestone episode as Kelly honors his father’s legacy, unpacks hard-earned business insights (like creating a “break-in packet” every company should have), and reminds us all: when you serve people, they will build the business.If you’re an entrepreneur,

THE VIBEwith Kelly Cardenas presents The scroll is too real. One minute I’m watching Nate Diaz choke out Conor McGregor, then Kirk Cameron pops up, then a “10 million views or your money back” promise slides in, and before I know it—Juvenile has me quoting lyrics instead of focusing on what matters most. Sound familiar?In this episode, I unpack how distractions creep in—through reels, TikTok, Instagram, and even our own habits—and how Proverbs 28 cuts through the noise with clarity and focus. You’ll hear insights from a conversation with high-level consultant Nancy Lee on leadership, communication, and uncovering hidden power in organizations. We also break down the difference between wants and desires, how focus creates peace and order, and why distractions never lead to real results.Whether you’re a business owner, executive, or someone who just feels pulled in a thousand directions daily—this episode will give you practical, faith-driven tools to cut distractions, build discernment, and focus on what truly

THE VIBE with Kelly Cardenas presents What are you struggling with right now?Most of us fight battles in silence—stress, fear, bad habits, or just the weight of life itself. But my Pops, with thunder in his voice, always reminded me of a truth I didn’t want to hear but desperately needed: “Boy, He can only work with what you freely give Him.”This episode dives deep into Proverbs 26, unpacking the contrast between wisdom and foolishness—and why our struggles persist when we hold on instead of handing them over.Here’s what you’ll discover:Why wisdom leads to honor, discipline, and strength—while foolishness brings the opposite.How discernment and diligence protect us from unnecessary struggle.The power of surrender: the difference between keeping control and freely giving it to Him.The practical path to joy, peace, and love—rooted in a wisdom that transforms everything.At the end of the day, the question isn’t whether we’ll struggle—it’s whether we’ll keep holding onto it or finally give it up.

On this episode of The VIBE Podcast with Kelly Cardenas, we dive into Proverbs 22 and a powerful real-life lesson that started with… my dog Skyler. While out on a walk, Skyler pooped, and I reached for a bag—only to realize there wasn’t one. In that moment, I felt the sting of what it’s like to be misunderstood. From the outside, it might’ve looked like I was careless, but the truth was simple: sometimes… we just don’t have a bag.How often do we judge others without knowing the full story? How often do we assume ill intent when maybe it’s just an honest mistake? This episode is a reminder that prudence and grace are essential—not just in how we treat others, but also in how we treat ourselves.

THE VIBEwith Kelly Cardenas presentsGive Up! What If the One Thing You Were Told Never to Do Was the Missing Ingredient?Description:We’ve all heard it: Never give up. It’s stitched into jerseys, posted on classroom walls, and echoed in motivational speeches. But what if never giving up isn’t always the answer? What if the key to true power, peace, and purpose… is actually learning when to give up and give in?In this soul-stirring episode of The VIBE with Kelly Cardenas, we challenge one of the most sacred personal development mantras and ask: What happens when we surrender—not to defeat, but to divine wisdom?Guided by Proverbs 8, we explore how giving up—on pride, control, and our own timelines—can unlock a level of wisdom, purpose, and peace that hustle culture can’t deliver.
