In this episode of Connect with Keeney, I sit down with Isaiah Keller — a third-generation business owner, entrepreneur, father, and man of faith from my hometown of Lucasville, Ohio. Isaiah is the driving force behind CBS Factory Direct, a family-built company with deep roots and an even deeper commitment to integrity, craftsmanship, and community.

We talk about growing up in small-town Southern Ohio, the pressure and responsibilit...

In this episode, I sit down with my brother Cory G to talk about what it really takes to win — in business, in life, and in faith. I’ve made mistakes, fallen down, and had to rebuild from the ground up. But through it all, I’ve learned that consistency, discipline, and a heart to overdeliver can change everything. We talk about childhood trauma, entrepreneurship, leadership, and what it means to show up when it’s hard. This is more...

This episode hit different. Sitting down with Mike Glockner wasn’t just another conversation — it was a deep, emotional dive into faith, fatherhood, legacy, and redemption.

I’ve always known the Glockner name carried weight — 178 years of business, family, and community leadership — but this talk stripped away the titles and the money to reveal the man behind the name.

Mike opens up about growing up under pressure, being misunderstoo...

In this episode, I sit down with my brother in Christ, Christopher “Dray” Day-Stewart, to talk about the journey from rock bottom to redemption.
