The Dean's List

This month I had the opportunity to talk with my friend Daniel Budzinski who is a up and coming social entrepreneur and has a great new podcast called the DreamCast at danielbudzinski.com. Daniel is a master at asking great achievers brilliant questions and we discuss his question asking ability and what I refer to as the most underdeveloped skill in leadership: Asking good questions!

In this episode I talk with my friend Andrew Mason from smallgroupchurches.com to discuss some of them misconceptions and myths we have about small groups that prevent us from "plugging in" to community.

CEO of OnDaySix.com, Wendee Mannon discusses her unique journey of finding her husband through the perils of the Christian generation that kissed dating goodbye and into a time where God spoke to her about 'partnering with Him' to move towards meeting her husband. The journey included both dating and diving into her beliefs about herself, God and men all combined with an action plan to move towards that desire.

Dean sits down with Eric Knopf, an entrepreneur and highly caffeinated entrepreneur and co-founder at Webconnex. He loves startups, family, faith and leads a thriving young adults ministry. He enjoys writing on life, startups and faith.

Dean sits down with Brock Shinen, Esq., who is the founder of the Law Office of Brock Shinen, Inc., a boutique law firm emphasizing business and intellectual properties matters, with focus on online businesses. Brock is an Amazon #1 Bestselling author, host of the iTunes “noteworthy” and recommended Cognipop Podcast, and seasoned attorney with more than a decade of experience advising online businesses

My first interview on the Dean's List was with Chris Cruz. A husband, pastor, speaker and blogger, he serves on the leadership teams at Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry and Tribe Young Adults at Bethel Redding. His role includes preaching, mentoring interns and pastoring students. Chris loves to see the church be a cultural influence for positive change in the world, and he lives to see heaven and earth become one. In his free time, Chris and his wife, Lana, love exploring and experiencing different cultures and cities. Chris is an avid creative, pursuing outlets that vary from graphic design to handmade leather goods. He also has a love for craft coffee and a slight fascination with raw denim.
