Are you living for God part-time? In today's message from 1 Kings 18, Jaime challenges us to take an honest look at where our devotion truly lies. Elijah asked the people of Israel, “How long will you falter between two opinions?” They knew who God was, yet their hearts and lives were divided. This episode explores: • Why we struggle to trust and follow God with our whole heart • How modern believers can unknowingly fall into idolatry • The difference between striving for empty sources of fulfillment and resting in the One true God • What it means to rebuild the altar of the Lord in your own life • How God responds when we call on Him with sincerity and faith The false gods of this world demand everything and give nothing in return. But the living God responds in power when we turn fully toward Him. Today is an invitation to move out of lukewarm living and into a deeper, mature walk of obedience and relationship.

Starting a beverage brand might be one of the hardest things you can do in CPG. The margins are thin, the logistics are brutal, and most investors will tell you not to even try. But Harvard Business School grad Vanessa Royle and her co-founder did it anyway. They built Tilden, a ready-to-drink, premium non-alcoholic cocktail from the ground up. It all started with kitchen experiments, then they raised their first friends-and-family round with intention, and structured their seed raise to last. From the start, they made one simple but rare choice: to build for profitability, not hype, to grow slowly, stay intentional, and do things on their own terms. But that gets hard once the feedback starts rolling in. Every investor has a different take on pricing, strategy, and what success should look like. Somewhere in all those opinions, even the most confident founder can start second-guessing themselves. Vanessa eventually learned that sometimes, you really do know your business better than any investor. Feedback can be helpful, but it doesn't mean you have to change direction every time someone tells you to. So what did she figure out along the way? And what should CPG founders really look for in an investor? In this episode, Vanessa shares how she tuned out the noise, made the right calls for her company, her unexpected mini Shark Tank moment, and what's next for Tilden as the brand keeps growing. Topics Covered; Why most investors discourage founders from entering the beverage industry How to structure a friends-and-family round that sets you up for long-term success The simple way Tilden kept their cap table clean while bringing dozens of early believers on board What founders get wrong about feedback, and how to know when to trust your instincts instead Why chasing growth too fast can backfire (and how profitability became Tilden's secret advantage) How to prepare for a seed raise when investors keep moving the goalposts What it really takes to stand out in a crowded non-alcoholic category Guest Bio Vanessa Royle is a Harvard Business School grad and co-founder of Tilden, a ready-to-drink, premium non-alcoholic cocktail that redefines how we celebrate without alcohol. After quitting drinking in 2020, Vanessa was frustrated by the lack of sophisticated non-alcoholic options. So she set out to create her own premium ready-to-drink cocktail that's low sugar. She has broken through the initial push and is currently selling in hundreds of stores. To learn more, visit https://drinktilden.com/, follow @drinktilden on Instagram.

CPG products are notoriously hard to launch, fund, and get onto shelves. That's why the failure rate is so high. But what if right now is actually the best time to do it? The barrier to entry has never been lower, the consumer has never been easier to reach, and the path from idea to traction has never been more open.  You can test, sell, and scale from your laptop without begging for retail space or burning through millions in capital. You can start lean, iterate fast, and build credibility through storytelling and traction. You can prove demand before you even produce at scale. Smaller brands are punching above their weight right now, building more influence, more loyalty, and more momentum than the legacy players. The big brands are getting squeezed, while upstarts are thriving in those small, high-end niches that used to feel impossible to break into. So the question isn't can small brands win; it's who's going to take advantage of this moment before the big players catch on? How do you make the CPG shift work in your favor? And if I were starting today, what strategy would I use to actually get funded? In this episode, we dig into what's really happening in the consumer product space and why niche, premium, mission-driven brands are quietly eating the big guys' lunch. Topics Covered; Why this might secretly be the best time to launch a CPG brand How small, focused brands are outpacing legacy giants The smartest ways to test and build traction on a budget Why “profitable and niche” beats “big and fast” every time The story investors actually want to hear (and it's not about scale) The mindset shift that makes entrepreneurship feel less daunting Startups Are Eating Big Food's Lunch   About Your Host   Jayla Siciliano, Shark Tank entrepreneur turned real estate investor, excels in building brands, teams, and products.

Can indecision hold your spiritual life hostage? We explore this compelling question by diving into the dramatic biblical story of Elijah's confrontation with King Ahab and the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel. This narrative underscores the vital importance of making firm choices and committing to God, especially amidst life's uncertainties. Drawing from the profound insights in James, we emphasize the necessity of seeking God's wisdom to overcome the paralysis of indecision, as wavering beliefs can lead us astray. As we navigate the "valley of decision," inspired by Joel chapter 3, we confront the internal struggles and fears that accompany choice-making. Indecision often stems from fear of the consequences, but recognizing the urgency and judgment that awaits can spur us to action. Here, we learn the importance of taking self-inventory and pursuing wisdom, while considering the eternal consequences of our choices. With examples from notable figures like Charlie Kirk and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, we discuss the transformative power of living for God and the courage required to embrace truth and self-denial. Finally, we reflect on the essence of choosing to live by faith, inspired by the teachings of both scripture and the lives of those who have walked the path before us. Through prayer and seeking God's guidance, we can find the strength to become not just hearers, but doers of the word. Join us as we explore how each decision impacts not only our lives but also future generations, reminding ourselves of the peace and direction found in committing wholeheartedly to faith. Where to dive in: (00:08) Decide (12:32) Valley of Decision and Consequences (22:40) Seeking God's Wisdom for Decision Making (36:51) Choosing to Live for God (44:18) Deciding to Live by Faith (57:07) Choose You This Day (01:05:51) Finding God's Guidance Through Faith Next steps: - Spend Time in the Word: Read the passages mentioned today: 1 Kings 18, James 1, Joel 3, and Joshua 24. - Reflect on what it means to choose God daily — not just in belief, but in every decision. - Ask God for Wisdom Daily: Make it part of your morning routine to say, “Lord, give me wisdom for what's ahead.” Let that simple prayer be your first step toward clarity and peace. - Share This Message: If this episode encouraged you, send it to a friend or family member who might also feel stuck between choices. Sometimes, your obedience opens the door for someone else's freedom. About your host: Jaime Luce' testimony has daunting personal mountains and treacherous financial valleys.

When most people dream about launching a consumer product, they imagine seeing it on store shelves—but few realize what it actually takes to get there. The (painful) truth is, success in CPG isn't about having a great idea. It's about surviving the numbers. Most founders underestimate how much money, time, and data it really takes to earn that spot in a category. And in this business, “bootstrapping” isn't scrappy—it's risky. I've been there. Every year, 90% of new food and beverage products fail. Not because the products aren't good, but because they are under-resourced and lacking funding, velocity, or category dynamics.  They try to scale too fast, too wide, or without enough proof. They don't know what it really takes to get into a retailer, or which retailers are worth going after first. And unlike tech, it's much harder to get an early-stage consumer brand funded. Investors want traction, not potential. They want to see that your product moves off shelves, earns repeat customers, and grows a category. So what do you need to know before you raise? What actually makes investors want to bet on your brand? In this episode, I'm joined by Debbie Wildrick, a food and beverage veteran who's spent 30 years leading brands like Tropicana and 7-Eleven. She helps entrepreneurs start small, test smart, and learn fast. We dig into why traction beats hype, how to prove velocity before pitching investors, and why data and storytelling go hand in hand when you're building a brand that lasts.   Topics Covered; Why 90% of new food and beverage products fail (and how to be in the 10%) How to test and prove traction before raising seed money The dangers of scaling too fast across multiple retailers What “velocity” really means and why investors care more about it than shelf space How much capital early-stage CPG brands truly need ($200K–$500K pre-revenue) Friends, family, and angel rounds: how to network your way to your first investors Why the path to profitability usually takes four years  How to use your “backyard” as the smartest first market test The 10 Pillars of a Successful Company Lessons from brands like Zico, Bai, and other billion-dollar exits Guest Bio Debbie Wildrick is an Executive Leader, Industry Speaker, and Sales and Distribution Expert.

In this episode of the Neue Thing Podcast, we unpack Proverbs 18 and the weight of our words. What we say—and when we say it—matters deeply. Our words can build up or tear down, bring life or cause harm. We're also challenged to reflect on our friendships: Who shapes us most, and what kind of friend are we becoming?

If you're raising money, one of the first questions you'll run into is whether to DIY your pitch deck or hire someone to help. And trust me, it's not as straightforward as it sounds. I've wasted money on “professional” help that didn't move the needle, and I've also seen founders burn months trying to DIY when they should have just invested a little upfront. That's the real challenge. It's not just if you can design this yourself. It's knowing when your deck is strong enough to stand on its own.  Here's where it gets even more confusing: the number of “pitch deck services” out there promising the world. Some quote a few hundred bucks, others want tens of thousands. And it's not always clear what you're really paying for. Are you getting strategy and feedback that sharpen your story, or just a prettier version of the same weak slides? In this episode, I break down the reality of pitch deck pricing. You'll learn how to figure out if you should do it yourself, what to look for in outside help, and how to avoid wasting time and money on the wrong solutions. Topics Covered; How to tell if your deck is strong enough to DIY, or if it's time to hire The red flags that your pitch isn't landing with investors What freelancers, mid-level designers, and agencies actually deliver (and what they don't) The real price ranges and what you should expect at each level Why overspending too early can waste money, but underspending can cost you months The hybrid approach that gets you professional polish without blowing your budget     About Your Host   Jayla Siciliano, Shark Tank entrepreneur turned real estate investor, excels in building brands, teams, and products.

Have you ever felt like giving up? In this episode of The Jaime Luce Podcast, Jaime delivers a heartfelt message for believers who are tired, discouraged, or ready to walk away from the fight of faith. Drawing from 2 Samuel 23, Galatians 6:9, and 1 Thessalonians 5, Jaime reminds us that the battles we face are not wasted; they are shaping us for victory. Through the story of Eleazar, one of David's mighty men who fought until his hand froze to the sword, we learn that perseverance is where God's greatest victories are born. You will discover: Why your struggle might actually be a gift from GodWhat it really means to put on the armor of GodHow to fight from a place of faith, not exhaustionThe power of gratitude and prayer in staying spiritually strongWhy nothing good happens when you quit If you are weary, this message will reignite your courage and remind you that the God who called you to the fight will see you through it. Where to dig in: (00:08) Staying in the Fight (08:07) Don't Quit, Stay in the Fight (26:14) The Battle Within (36:12) The Fall of King David (44:54) The Fight of Faith (01:02:13) Words of Encouragement and Connection About your host: Jaime Luce' testimony has daunting personal mountains and treacherous financial valleys.

When you're building a business that appeals to investors, you have to show that you can scale and stabilize at every level.  But here's the thing - scaling isn't clean or painless…it's not supposed to be. It almost always means that things will break. Systems will strain, processes will collapse, and the business will feel unstable.  This is inevitable. Growth will always stress the business.  As a founder, your mindset shouldn't be preventing stress; it should be preparing for it.  Every stage of growth demands that you adapt, fix what cracked under pressure, and put new structures in place that can carry you to the next level.  And part of that structure isn't technical at all, it's human. Your inner circle has to be balanced. Too many yeses and you'll miss the weak spots. Too many nos and you'll never take the risks growth requires. What should early-stage founders be thinking about as they grow? How did my guest turn a $30K loan from his 401K into 20+ million in real estate and a $10M a year company?  In this episode, I'm joined by entrepreneur, mentor, short-term rental expert, and investor, Josh Hatter.  We unpack why scaling is supposed to feel uncomfortable, how to treat breakage as proof of progress, and why curating the right mix of voices around you might be the most important system you ever build. Topics Covered How Josh turned a $30k 401k loan into $20M+ of real estate assets and $100M under management How childhood chaos became his greatest entrepreneurial strength The real reason rental arbitrage is dangerous (and what to do instead) How to survive a once-in-a-lifetime industry collapse like COVID in hospitality Why scaling means breaking your systems on purpose The hardest balancing act in entrepreneurship Why owning the real estate your business operates in is one of the smartest wealth moves you can make How Josh formalized his mentorship group into a nonprofit   Guest Bio Josh Hatter is a Short Term Rental (STR) and Bed & Breakfast (B&B) expert investor and entrepreneur. After working in Corporate America, Josh bet on himself to grow a $30,000 401 (k) loan to $20M+ of assets in 12 years of real estate investing through his principles of information arbitrage. He helps high achievers exit corporate America and reach financial independence through hospitality real estate. Visit https://www.joshhatter.com/, send an email to josh@joshhatter.com.

Welcome back Product Bosses! Let's talk real numbers. What would an extra $10,000 this holiday season look like for your business? In this episode, I'm walking you through the exact formula to map out your $10K plan—whether that's over a weekend, a month, or even in a single hour! I'm breaking down how to align your sales target with your best-selling products, calculate exactly how many units you need to sell, and shift from “I hope” to “I've got a plan.”So many product-based business owners go into Q4 without a clear strategy. They think they need more products, more time, or more content—but what they really need is focus and simplicity.
