Coffee Time with Carlos Machado
Start Your Morning with Coffee, Conversation, and Real-Life Wisdom
Most people never get the chance to do what they love, not because they can't, but because of the stories they believe or the setbacks they've faced. But adversity doesn't have to define you. You can rise above it and go further than you ever imagined.
Join me, Carlos Machado, every Monday through Thursday at 9:00 AM CST for Coffee Time With Carlos, where we blend 50 years of martial arts experience and over three decades in business into conversations that inspire, challenge, and uplift.
If I can share even one insight that helps you grow stronger mentally, physically, or spiritually then every episode is worth it. Because in the end, we are all one… or all none.
So pour a cup, pull up a chair, and let’s share life together.

Ep. 4 | Jenna Quinn From Survivor to Advocate & The Law Protecting Children Nationwide
What does it take to transform trauma into triumph and pain into purpose?
In this deeply moving episode of Coffee Time with Carlos Machado, I sit down with Jenna Quinn, survivor, speaker, author of Pure in Heart, and the courageous advocate behind the federal Jenna Quinn Law. Her story is not just one of survival—it’s a story of hope, faith, and turning personal tragedy into a mission that now protects children and families across America.
In this episode, we discuss:
✔️ How the Jenna Quinn Law became the first legislation of its kind and why it’s now federal law
✔️ The truth about grooming, predators, and red flag behaviors every parent and teacher should know
✔️ The real statistics behind child sexual abuse and why awareness is our strongest weapon
✔️ The critical role of faith and advocacy in the healing process
✔️ Jenna’s journey from victim to victor, and how she helps others reclaim hope through her nonprofit work
✔️ Practical tools for prevention, intervention, and restoration for children, parents, and survivors
Jenna’s voice is powerful because it comes from experience—her advocacy has already changed countless lives, and her message continues to shine light in places predators hope will remain in darkness.
This conversation is for parents, educators, law enforcement, faith leaders, and anyone who wants to protect children while learning how resilience and faith can lead to healing.
