Nationally respected leader, author, and visionary Dr. DeForest B. Soaries, Jr. announces the launch of his groundbreaking and timely new show, Say Yes When Life Says No — a powerful, truth-telling series amplifying real stories of transformation, adversity, and triumph.
At a moment when people across the country are confronting unprecedented personal and collective challenges, Say Yes When Life Says No offers a bold and necessary roadmap for overcoming obstacles, reclaiming mission, and choosing possibility—even in the face of life’s most unforgiving “no.”
Hosted by Dr. Soaries, the series features intimate, in-depth conversations with voices whose lived experiences and leadership define this moment, offering viewers lessons in resilience, clarity, and personal reinvention. Some confirmed guests for the premiere episodes include:
• Dr. Randal Pinkett — Business powerhouse, author, and winner of The Apprentice, who shares insights on excellence, discipline, and staying the course despite doubt or adversity.
• Donna Hylton — Criminal justice reform advocate and author whose powerful story of survival and healing continues to inspire millions.
• Jack Morris — Visionary developer, philanthropist, and entrepreneur, offering reflections on leadership, risk-taking, and building legacy from the ground up.
“We created Say Yes as more than a show — it’s an invitation,” said Dr. Soaries. “For years I’ve watched people wrestle with doubt, disappointment, and the feeling that life has said ‘no’ to them. I’ve had my own share of ‘no’s,’ especially with my cancer diagnosis. But I realized I had to move through that ‘no’ and find my ‘yes.’ This platform gives us a chance to remind people that mission is possible, healing is possible, and hope is possible. Say Yes is about helping people unlock the strength, clarity, and faith they already possess.”
