    You know this podcast platform is different. It has an atmosphere that is light and airy.The guests feel relaxed enough to open up about their experiences and this is what makes your podcast so beautiful because nobody is having a pity party. Instead they are not only just being transparent but also relatable in the sense that they offer the kind of wisdom that comes out of life experience.
    I would love to see this platform go to the next level. Much success to you.

    Can I just say Brandy Harvey is the most graceful interviewer I have ever seen. When you sit with her it is truly a heartfelt and informative interview. She draws the audience in until the end. She has had some great people to interview as well. Job well done, I know God has and will continue to have something in store for you.

    My name is Roxie Dewitt Dawson and I took Brandi’s “Freedom School” a few years ago and my life changed forever! She is absolutely BRILLIANT!! This interview was absolutely amazing and one of the BEST podcasts that I have ever watched! I stopped everything that I was doing today to watch a few episodes actually and let me just say that God knew that I needed to hear every single word that Vault Empowers shared! I laughed, cried and felt that I was in the room in all of the episodes! Ben is absolutely brilliant and so intelligent, humble and deserve ALL things good! Karli and Brandi speak soooooo well and are extremely intelligent black women! Their father really should be proud of BOTH of them! Brandi, I love Vault Empowers! Please continue to bring us these authentic, down-to-earth conversations! Love you Brandi and I can’t wait until I can come and share my testimony with Vault Empowers audience! ❤

Love both sisters, and the transparency from Ben about his background. This was a great interview. And Brandi bravo on these milestones.!

    I remember the first time I heard Ben speak about his life. It broke my heart for the little boy and the big boy. Then to hear now even more of it and how it's evolved with his parents, his marriage and now wanting to be the perfect dad. The dad he never had. I think Ben, Karlie and BJ are on the road to big joy and happiness! They have so much love and desire to keep Jesus Christ in their lives. Carry on Raymond family!

You speak with so much wisdom and grace. This interview was both fun and inspiring to watch. Congratulations on creating an amazing podcast. It was also cool to find out your brother-in-law is a fellow Minnesota Gopher.

    Wow!
    Ben story is so touching! Heart-felt!
    Made me want to cry for him, Kirk, and all the hurting, men, women, teenagers, children, all over the world!
    I am glad his biological father, mom, got help, God, couseling, and deliverance from the drug addiction, childhood molestation, trauma. I am glad his parents changed their life, for better.
    Its never to late!
    I am glad they both met their biological father.
    So sad, that both Ben and Kirk, grew up as boys, with terrible home life! Abandonment, rejection, neglect, abuse, growing up in foster care, from home to home. It's devestating, is no joke, not good, for little children, teenagers.
    They both had similar life stories! A special Thanks, to the Hughes family, for Ben, and the older woman, for Kirk. The parents, that took them into their home and raised them.. Showed them love, taught them discipline. Thank God, for all the good people, that step up and help raise the hurting abused, neglected, abandoned children.
    Thank God for healing the broken, hurt, adults, from trumatic childhood experiences!
    Both men, Ben and Kirk! Their stories are like so many men, women, young people, children.
    Thanks to the interviewer, for having this marriage couple, on the podcast!
    They dropped so many jems! Wisdom, knowledge, in dealing with all the issues of life! Love, what Ben's wife said, its God, that is holding them together! Their life, marriage is ministry!
    It takes work, obedience, patience, commitment.
    Soooo good! ❤

    Yes, I did miss the mark definitely by having them both by the wrong types of men.
    Yes, I fell short by not having both in any extra curriculum activities, to feed their talents.
    I worked all their lives, it’s all they know me to do.
    All my children know is me.
    They are young adults, and better pull it together.
    Especially my son!
    He better get in the good foot!
