The Jimmy Rex Show

Guest Bio;For the last 25 years, Todd has served as a Mentor & Personal Development Coach for those looking to get more out of life, move beyond limiting beliefs and overcome addictions. Todd is an experienced motivational speaker and has conducted over 300 speaking engagement at businesses, seminars, schools, churches and for youth groups.Todd currently works as an Addictive Voice Recognition Counselor at an addiction recovery treatment center for those struggling with ​drug or alcohol addiction, where he provides one-on-one mentoring to both local and international clients. Described as having “a unique gift to develop trusting relationships quickly,” Todd has guided hundreds to sobriety and other behavioral successes through the individualized support he offers to each client. His ability to “speak to a person’s soul and help them find their true motive to change” has been the key for inspiring others to make permanent lifestyle changes.Todd’s profound influence grew from his own personal experience — a journey from self-hatred and hopelessness to faith and recovery. At a young age, Todd was exposed to drugs and alcohol and quickly became addicted. Years of rampant drug abuse lead to devastating failures and a conclusion that his young life had nowhere left to go.Change can come from the most unlikely of places. For Todd, that place was a neighborhood lemonade stand, when he made the spontaneous decision to become one little girl’s most generous customer. This simple act – and the positive reaction that came with it – provided Todd with a sense of hope that he had never felt before. Todd’s strengthening sense of purpose sparked a fervent determination to change his life and to prevent others from enduring the physical and emotional pain that had threatened his very existence. As he moved forward with newfound faith and a desire to serve others, Todd learned that the human soul – on fire – is more powerful than any addiction.Today, Todd utilizes his firsthand fight against addiction to connect with fellow addicts on an authentic level and provide hope to thousands of teenagers, parents, and adults. His story was recently told through a popular YouTube clip titled “The Hope of God’s Light,” that received over 3 million views and has been translated into 3 languages.Todd has been married to his sweetheart for 23 years. They have four children and live a happy, busy life together.

Guest Bio:Representative Mia Love was born in Brooklyn, New York and eventually moved to Connecticut.  Rep. Love recalls both her parents working hard to earn a living.   Her father, at times, worked more than one job to pay school tuition for his three children.  On the day of Love’s college orientation, her father said something to her that would become the mantra for her life:"Mia, your mother and I never took a handout. You will not be a burden to society. You will give back."Rep. Love graduated from the University of Hartford with a degree in fine arts. She moved to Utah and married her husband, Jason Love.  She was eager to carry forward her father’s ethic of ‘giving back’.  Rep. Love served two terms on the city council of Saratoga Springs, one of Utah’s fastest growing cities. As City Councilwoman and eventually Mayor, she led the city through a period of 1700% population growth in a decade. Under her leadership, the city was able to successfully navigate the drastic transition from agricultural fields to a booming residential community. When the citizen growth necessitated fire and police services, Love fought to make sure the city's first ever residential tax implementation would only pay for those essential services, and she structured it in such a way that the tax decreased as a percentage of property value.Rep. Love is best known for her conservative positions on limited government, increased citizen liberties and limited restraints on business. She believes the best thing she can do as a Congresswoman is to urge the federal government to stay out of the way of business and out of the lives of citizens. She advocates a return to personal responsibility and reduced government dependency, again a value engendered by her father.She felt so deeply about these convictions, she ran for Congress in 2012, and again in 2014 where she was victorious.  Now in her second term in Congress, Representative Love has been very busy keeping the promises she made to her constituents in the 4th district by voting to foster local control in all aspects of government.Congresswoman Love has sponsored a variety of bills, 10 in her first term, one of which passed the House of Representatives in April 2016.  (H.R. 3791 would give more small banks the flexibility to lend money to consumers.)   She is the co-sponsor of dozens of additional bills, including legislation that promotes local control of education, free market solutions to our health care crisis, and cutting the regulatory burden that the federal government has imposed on small businesses.Rep. Love is serving on the Financial Services Committee, and on the Monetary Policy and Trade, Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit, and the Terrorism and Illicit Financing subcommittees.   In 2016, Rep. Love is also served on the Select Investigative Committee on Infant Lives.    Based on her votes, she has twice been honored to accept the U.S. Chamber of Commerce ‘Spirit of Enterprise Award’, the American Conservative Union’s ‘Award for Conservative Excellence’, the IFDA's 'Thomas Jefferson Award, the Susan B. Anthony List’s ‘Marilyn Musgrave Defender of Life’ award, and the National Federation of Independent Business 'Small Business Guardian Award'.
