First is Josh Robinson, a transformational executive with more than 20 years of experience leading finance, technology, and business strategy across organizations ranging from $50 million to $7 billion in revenue. Josh is known for building high-performing teams, creating cultures that attract top talent, and helping companies think big, start small, and scale fast. Joining him is Mike Nathan, a Navy veteran, entrepreneur, investor, and startup builder who's helped launch, advise, and invest in more than a dozen companies across industries. From Search & Rescue Swimmer to founder, board member, and operator, Mike believes that business is one of the most powerful vehicles for creating meaningful impact for people and communities. Together, Josh and Mike bring an incredible combination of operational excellence, entrepreneurial grit, and people-first leadership. I'm excited to dive into their journeys, what they've learned building companies and cultures, and where they see the future of work and leadership heading next. Key Takeaways: Not every high performer should become a manager. Companies need meaningful advancement paths for strong individual contributors instead of forcing them into leadership roles they may not want or be equipped for. Leadership is less about having every answer and more about building the right team. Great leaders trust subject-matter experts, ask better questions, and create the conditions for others to execute. Authenticity builds more trust than pretending to know everything. Employees respond better to leaders who admit what they do not know and work alongside the team to find the answer. Conviction can matter as much as competency. Skills may get someone through the interview process, but genuine belief in the company's mission determines whether they will remain committed when things get difficult. A founder's ability to delegate is a critical indicator of scalability. Founders who constantly say “I,” control every decision, and cannot step away will eventually become the bottleneck in their own business. Raising capital should serve a specific goal, not someone's ego. Companies should pursue funding when it accelerates product development, sales, expansion, or a planned exit, not because announcing a major round has become a status symbol. AI is creating the rise of the “Army of One.” Individuals and small teams can now use AI, outsourcing, and personal branding to produce the output and profitability once associated with much larger organizations. Take the “Army of One” seriously, but not literally. AI can dramatically increase individual productivity, but growing companies will still need talented people when complexity, scale, and human connection demand them. Replacing employees with AI is often the wrong strategy. The greater opportunity is to give employees AI tools, remove repetitive work, and redeploy people into more valuable roles that improve service and generate revenue. The professionals who thrive will combine expertise with AI fluency. Human judgment, technical knowledge, and relationship skills will remain valuable, but people who fail to learn how to apply AI within their field risk being left behind.

The lights are up, the sales are relentless, and “Christmas” is everywhere—but is Jesus? In this special holiday episode, Mike Slater asks the question every serious Christian has to face: How do we celebrate the birth of the King when the culture has turned His day into a frenzy of consumerism, sentimentality, and mandatory cheer? From Black Friday to office parties, from “Happy Holidays” to the war-on-Christmas noise, Mike cuts through the tinsel to talk about what it really looks like to keep holy days in a holiday world—without becoming a Grinch, retreating to a bunker, or pretending the tension doesn't exist. Practical, honest, and rooted in Scripture, this is Politics by Faith for the most wonderful—and most challenging—time of the year. This is part two of two. Learn more about your ad choices.
