The Shá Sparks Show. When was the last time you felt Fired up about your life? Ever think there is no way that you could start a business because you have been through so much or you don’t have the right college degree? This podcast shares the journeys of those who invested in themselves and the people around them. From interviews with business and military leaders to people who have found their purpose and started a non-profit, their stories will inspire you to invest in yourself first so it overflows onto your family, your business and your community. “When we share our own lessons learned of overcoming obstacles, we ignite a tiny spark of hope, love, connection, and community. And when we ignite that spark, the whole world lights up. That’s The Shá Sparks Show!”
What if the way we influence others begins with how intentionally we live, love, forgive, and lead? In this heartfelt episode, our special guest, Brian Ahearn, shares how faith, forgiveness, and intentional choices can reshape family relationships, marriage, and legacy.

He has written four books on influence. His most recent work, Influenced from Above, is a business parable that explores the intersection of faith and influence. And one of my favorite books, His Story, My Story, Our Story about a Marine and his son.

Sha Sparks

Sha Sparks is the CEO (Chief Excitement Officer) of Sparks of Fire International, a Certified Fearless Living Coach and Trainer, host of The Power of Investing in People Podcast, author of “How to Get Your Voice Back”, and Co-Founder of #FIRESTARTERS Book Project.
Growing up with a father who was unwillfully drafted in the Army to serve time in Korea, Sh? Sparks inherited her father’s “I don’t have a choice” mindset. Later she realized she did have a choice and overcame abuse, addiction, depression, anger, low self-worth, being a bully and being bullied. Today, she has proactively changed that fear-based phrase “I don’t have a choice” into determination to ignite others to make fearless choices. She guides leaders in the military and business industries to step out of their comfort zone in order to embody skills and tools to lead with emotional intelligence and intellect through her Spark Your ALPHA™ program. Sh? is a Veterans Advocate for shifting the narrative from PTSD to Post Traumatic Growth. She believes that if she can take her own traumatic experiences and transform them into a treasure, then so can you!
