What if the very valleys you’re trying to escape are the places designed to make you unstoppable? In this deeply moving and transformational episode of Shine Up Success, host Dionne Malush sits down with Bishop Kevin Foreman, a visionary leader, entrepreneur, artist, and the renowned “People’s Bishop,” whose journey proves that purpose can turn even the darkest moments into divine momentum.
From growing up in Orange Mound to building multiple thriving organizations, Bishop Foreman opens up about the childhood adversities that shaped him, the leadership principles that have carried him through financial collapse and reinvention, and the spiritual mindset that allows him to walk through fire without losing faith or joy. He shares why success requires speed, why your greatest victories often come from your deepest valleys, and why sometimes the blessing is the valley itself.
This conversation will challenge your thinking, strengthen your spirit, and remind you that nothing in your story is wasted. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next step, this episode is the confirmation you didn’t know you were waiting for.
