Fashion can make a statement, but Matthew Smith III is using it to make an impact.

On this episode of I Am Refocused Radio, we sit down with Matthew Smith III, Founder and CEO of Fashion For Life San Antonio, to explore the vision behind a brand and nonprofit movement that brings together fashion, community, mentorship, and advocacy in support of survivors of domestic violence.

Matthew shares the story behind Fashion For Life, the purpose driving its growth, and what it takes to build something that reaches beyond the runway. We also highlight the leadership behind the mission, including Matthew’s wife, Rachelle Smith, Chief Financial Officer, and Genesis Williamson, Chief Operations Officer, and the role their team plays in turning vision into meaningful community impact.

We also look ahead to the 2026 Purple Reign: Evolution Fashion Show, happening Saturday, October 17, 2026 at 7:00 PM. The signature event will bring fashion, designers, community leaders, advocates, and supporters together for an evening centered on style, resilience, awareness, and the fight against domestic violence.

This conversation is about more than clothing. It’s about purpose, leadership, legacy, community, and using your platform to help people reclaim their story.

Fashion With a Purpose: Matthew Smith III on Fashion For Life & Purple Reign 2026

What happens when you stop measuring yourself by the world’s expectations and begin seeing yourself through the eyes of the One who created you?

On this inspiring episode of I Am Refocused Radio, Shemaiah Reed sits down with Dacey Triplett, author of Nobody Can Be You Better Than You, for a powerful conversation about identity, confidence, faith, and learning to embrace what makes you different.

Born with dwarfism, Dacey grew up navigating questions about why God made her different and what it truly means to feel comfortable in your own skin. Over time, her faith transformed the way she viewed herself, helping her discover that lasting confidence isn’t built on appearance, popularity, or circumstances. It comes from knowing who you are and Whose you are.

Dacey shares her personal journey, the heart behind her book, and encouragement for anyone who has ever looked in the mirror and wished they could be someone else.

This conversation is a reminder that your differences are not an accident, your identity has purpose, and nobody can be you better than you.

Nobody Can Be You Better Than You: Dacey Triplett 

What happens when working harder is no longer enough to grow your business?

On this episode of I Am Refocused Radio, Shemaiah Reed sits down with entrepreneur, business growth strategist, and author Jim Fitzgerald for a conversation about breaking through business plateaus, becoming a stronger leader, and building systems that allow a company to grow without everything depending on the owner.

Jim brings more than three decades of entrepreneurial experience to the conversation. He built Taradel from a one-man operation into a national direct-mail and digital-marketing company serving more than 25,000 small-business customers and generating $30 million in revenue before its sale. He later founded Fitzgerald Growth Partners, helping business owners identify the real constraints holding their companies back and create structures designed for intentional, sustainable growth.

Jim is also the author of The Million Dollar Hurdle, a USA TODAY bestselling book that distills more than 35 years of business-building experience into a practical framework for moving beyond effort, chaos, and chance.

In this conversation, Jim and Shemaiah explore why growth problems are often structure problems rather than motivation problems, why leadership can be learned, how clarity reduces friction inside a company, and what entrepreneurs must change when the habits that helped them start a business are no longer enough to scale it.

This episode is for entrepreneurs, founders, leaders, and anyone trying to build something meaningful without becoming the bottleneck inside their own vision.

Jim Fitzgerald on Leadership, Systems & Building a Business That Works

What if better health begins with looking beyond the symptoms and understanding what the body is actually trying to tell us?

On this episode of I Am Refocused Radio, Shemaiah Reed sits down with Dr. Joshua Levitt, naturopathic physician, educator, product formulator, and Co-Founder of UpWellness, for a practical conversation about integrative health, prevention, nutrition, and taking a more informed approach to personal wellness.

Dr. Josh has spent more than two decades working with patients and brings together principles from both conventional and naturopathic medicine. In this conversation, he shares his perspective on addressing underlying causes, helping people better understand their bodies, separating useful health guidance from the noise, and why education can play such an important role in long-term wellness.

We also explore the story behind UpWellness, the mission to make natural health education and physician-formulated wellness solutions more accessible, and what Dr. Josh has learned from years of working directly with patients.

In this conversation:
• Why symptoms may only tell part of the story
• The role of nutrition and lifestyle in overall wellness
• Natural medicine and conventional medicine working together
• Prevention versus waiting for problems to develop
• How to become a better-informed health consumer
• The philosophy behind UpWellness
• What more than two decades of patient care has taught Dr. Josh
