From the Streets to Building a Media Empire | Been Steppin | EP 67

Fri, 18 Sep 2026 13:30:00 +0000

He's been making content since he was 10 years old — stop-motion videos on an iPhone, years before "content creator" was even a career.

Born and raised in Port St. Lucie with Jamaican roots, Ben Steppin dropped out of high school in the 11th grade, skipped sports for video games and video editing, and built a name for himself as the area's go-to for graphics, visuals, and editing — with videos that have racked up over 10 million views.

But behind the content empire is a much deeper story: eight years ago, Ben was homeless, and it was faith, recovery, and a daily devotional practice built from three years of his own journal entries combined with scripture that turned his life around. Now he's building not just a media brand, but a community event called the Iron Legacy Collective to give back to the next generation.

A real conversation about creativity, hustle, faith, and rebuilding from rock bottom.

From Struggle to Serving a Purpose | Ron Leger | EP 66

Wed, 16 Sep 2026 13:30:00 +0000

Born in a one-bedroom Brooklyn apartment while his father worked toward becoming a doctor,

Ron Leger grew up moving around, wrestling with a learning disability he didn't fully understand, and battling low self-esteem all while chasing something he couldn't quite name.

College took him further from his purpose, not closer to it. It wasn't until he met his wife a woman he calls a gift the Lord sent to save him that Ron's walk with God became real instead of routine. From getting baptized, to building a men's Bible study from the ground up, to opening a catering company that grew into a full food truck business, this episode traces the long, honest road from spiritual struggle to walking boldly in purpose.

A raw conversation about faith, marriage, fatherhood, and what it actually looks like to build a legacy from the ground up — one obedient step at a time.

In Episode 24 of the Discipline & Legacy Podcast, Jonathan Parsons sits down with entrepreneur and fitness leader Anthony Napolitano to discuss how discipline learned through sports can shape success in business and life.

Anthony grew up in Port St. Lucie, Florida, where sports played a major role in his early life. As a dedicated athlete, he spent most of his time traveling for baseball tournaments, balancing school, training, and competition. His dream, like many young athletes, was to play baseball at the next level and eventually get drafted.

Anthony went on to play college baseball, starting at Florida Gulf Coast University before transferring to Galveston, Texas to continue pursuing the sport. The structure and consistency required in athletics helped build the discipline that would later fuel his entrepreneurial journey.

During his freshman year of college, Anthony was introduced to a business opportunity focused on residual income, a concept that sparked his interest in entrepreneurship. What started as curiosity soon became the beginning of a completely new path beyond sports.

In this episode, Anthony shares how the lessons learned through sports — consistency, hard work, and discipline — helped him transition into business, fitness, and mindset coaching, where he now helps others build better lives.

In this special episode of the Discipline & Legacy Podcast, Jonathan welcomes Val for the very first episode recorded in the new studio. Val shares a powerful and deeply personal story that begins in Siberia, Russia, and unfolds through loss, sacrifice, resilience, and growth.

Val opens up about losing his father at just two years old during military service, being raised by his grandparents and uncle, and enduring serious health struggles as a child. His family gave up everything they had to move across the country in hopes of saving his life — a sacrifice that shaped his character and outlook forever.

This conversation explores the unseen foundations of strength: family, perseverance, leadership, faith, and the bonds formed through shared struggle. Jonathan and Val reflect on friendship, doing business together, leadership development, and how life’s earliest challenges can forge purpose and discipline.

This episode is a reminder that where you start does not define where you finish — and that legacy is built through resilience, character, and heart.
