Did you know that Spider-Man's famous line actually has biblical roots?
In this first episode of Phrase Origins, Erik Cabral traces the journey of Spider-Man’s most famous quote "with great power comes great responsibility" from Amazing Fantasy #15 (1962), to Uncle Ben on the silver screen, and ultimately back 2,000 years to the words of Jesus in Luke 12:48: “To whom much is given, much will be required.”You’ll discover how pop culture simplified this truth into a catchy superhero line… and how the Bible reveals a deeper meaning about accountability, stewardship, and leadership in life, family, and business.👉 Stay tuned until the end to see how this applies to your own “superpowers” and the responsibilities that come with them.📌 Chapters📖 Erik’s book: https://www.beyourbrandnow.com/🎙 More episodes: • The Erik Cabral Show

Freedom, chastity, and healing with Jason Evert
What if chastity is not a restriction but the freedom to love well
In this episode of Be Your Brand to Glorify God, Erik sits down with Jason Evert, speaker, author, and founder at Chastity.com, to face the modern prn crisis with courage and clarity. Jason shares how Karol Wojtyla’s "Love and Responsibility" reframes chastity as the freedom to love, why an interior life of prayer outworks a thousand tasks, and how simple daily rhythms protect marriage and mission.
They talk about the epidemic of prn for men and women, why the opposite of addiction is connection, and the hard-hitting line that a father’s prn can act like a spiritual vasectomy. You will also hear the adult club doorstep encounter and the seven-hour line of students who just wanted someone to truly listen. This one gives hope, language, and first steps for anyone ready to begin.

They unpack how to raise kids in a world filled with noise without sheltering them, the lessons Adam learned from missed birthdays while serving in the military, and why he’s passionate about buying businesses that create freedom instead of consuming family life.
Adam also reveals his process for evaluating deals, how real estate led him to small business acquisitions, and why aligning with Christian partners matters in the long run.

What if the secret to your success was hidden in plain sight every single day? How does seeing your own reflection 55 times daily rewire your brain for confidence or self-doubt?
In this fascinating episode of The Erik Cabral Show, Erik sits down with Brian Lipstein, founder of Henry A. Davidsen Master Tailors & Image Consultants, for a deep dive into the subconscious power of personal image, personal branding, and bespoke tailoring.

From measuring to the eighth of an inch to understanding fabric choices, this conversation reveals the craftsmanship behind creating clothing that becomes a second skin.

Business doesn't have to kill your passion. But without fun, it will.
Dr. Lacey Book shares her two non-negotiables: infusing fun into everything and radical transparency with everyone you serve. When you can't bring the fun factor, passion dies. When you're not transparent about expectations, relationships fail. Simple formula: Fun keeps you going, transparency builds trust.
