Before you chase growth, fix these foundational cracks that could break your business.  Before you chase aggressive growth targets, you have to ask yourself a hard question: Is your business actually ready to scale? We work with leaders every day who are stuck in the messy middle: growing revenue while cash gets tighter, roles get blurrier, and the founder still has a hand in every decision. In this week's episode of The Right-Hand Roadmap, Megan Long walks through five common problems that must be fixed before you scale. From cash flow visibility to repeatable sales processes and reducing founder dependency, this episode is your growth-prep checklist. Growth can't be powered by vision alone. It takes clarity, systems, and some financial truth-telling to make growth possible. If your 2025 plan is off track, or if you're leading through a pivot, this episode will help you assess what to fix now (and what you can build mid-flight).   Rate, review & follow on Apple Podcasts Click Here to Listen!

Before God ever gave the world a prophet, a king, or a pastor—He gave the world a father. Before there were positions, platforms, or pulpits —there was a garden…and in that garden, God planted a man. Not as a ruler to dominate, but as a reflection of Himself— A cultivator, a protector, a name-giver…Fatherhood is sacred. Not just functional. Not just biological. Not optional. It's part of the Very Good design of God.

Window installation may not instantly grab your attention, but for anyone involved in building or renovating, it's a critical aspect that cannot be neglected. Think about why we have windows: they connect our living spaces with the outside world, offering natural light, beautiful views, and essential ventilation. However, beyond these obvious reasons, there is a layer of complexity and science in window installation that is necessary to explore further.When it comes to window installation, the type of window is fundamentally essential. Each type has its nuances. It's these differences that require us to break down and approach each installation uniquely. Matt aptly noted during our latest podcast that while there are some industry standards, every project has nuance and a unique set of challenges.If you're navigating window installations—whether you're a seasoned builder or an enthusiastic DIYer, it's about more than just inserting glass into a gap. It's about strategising each move, considering the materials, and above all, applying a thoughtful blend of science and practicality to the process.

In 2024, a contest was created to promote the most beautiful women the world has ever seen.  The competition is the brainchild of the World AI Creators Awards (WAICAS).  As the name suggests, real women need not apply, as all contestants are AI-generated personalities admired for their pixelated perfection.  We - Christopher & Heather - were curious, so we discussed where this idea would push already unrealistic standards and ideals set for beauty that women have been burdened to meet or at least keep up with in exchange for social status, attention, or affection.  To justify some of the skepticism about these AI-generated beauty contestants only being boy toy fantasies, contestants are being judged based on three criteria: aesthetic beauty, the technical skill that went into creating them, and their online and business clout. In some cases, that includes contestants with over 250,000 followers on Instagram and employment earnings in the neighbourhood of up to $10,840 a month, or on average $3,252 monthly, working as virtual models for clothing and jewelry companies.  Virtual or not, the impact of AI models is real, but will the standards these models set around "what is beauty and who is beautiful," which are already unrealistic and unattainable for most real women, become even more exhausting?    

God's creation was never meant for us to passively occupy or consume — it's always been accompanied by a call to actively participate in its flourishing and fruitfulness. From Eden to now, stewardship is a sacred thing. It shapes creation, reveals our faith, and transforms our lives. What we tend—or fail to tend—forms us and the world around us.

What if I told you that God created us to rule… but not to dominate? To reign… but not to own? What if our job on this earth wasn't to take, but to tend? Not to consume, but to cultivate? For generations, power has been used to exploit, image has been reserved for the elite and creation has been treated like a commodity. But Genesis doesn't begin with a human grasping for godhood. It begins with God graciously giving us a role in His rule — in His very good design. We are not owners—we are image bearers. We are royal stewards, called to make the invisible King visible in how we treat His creation.

In the beginning, God didn't just create individuals—He formed a world that was woven together in relational goodness. “Very good” wasn't about perfection; as much as it was about connection. We were made to flourish in relationship not in isolation. God isn't just saving you—He's saving us.

Before the foundation of the world, God entrusted womanhood with a sacred echo of Himself—the call to mother. Not merely to bear life, but to shape it, nourish it, and speak courage into the soul of creation. Today we honor that call—not as a role, but as a holy assignment woven into the fabric of God's image in the earth.

The work of the cherubim. The sons of golden oil. The two olive trees explained.

Throughout our lives we are seeking and searching for love, for peace, for joy, for identity, for security, for purpose and for wholeness. And the only One who can supply our deepest need is God alone. So, when we awaken to the knowledge of what is truly good for us, we will always be in pursuit of a deeper relationship with the God of all creation.

If you're sitting on an idea and waiting for the perfect time to launch… this is your wake-up call. There's never been a lower-risk, higher-reward moment to test your digital product idea—and this episode will show you exactly why. Want help launching your first (or next) offer?

In this episode, we sit down with Scott Trulock, owner of Trulock Chokes and a true Southern outdoorsman, to talk about all things turkey hunting, shotguns, and the wild journey of learning to hunt when no one else in your family does it. Scott shares how he got hooked on turkey hunting after his time in the Marine Corps — with no mentors, no traditions, and no roadmap. We dive deep into how hunting in the Deep South has changed over the years, why today's turkey seasons feel so different, and how gear (especially chokes) has evolved to meet modern hunters' needs. Plus, Scott breaks down critical tips around choosing the right choke for your shotgun, why over-choking is a real problem, and how hunters can avoid some of the biggest mistakes that cost them birds.

Jesus came to fulfill the Father's promise from the Garden — as the seed of the woman who would crush Satan's rule and restore us to God's Kingdom. In Christ and through His resurrection, all things are made new. Today, we don't celebrate a tomb — we celebrate the God of the resurrection, who meticulously rights every wrong by His resurrection power.

By Brian Shaw - Above and before anything else, God alone sets the standard for holiness and He expects all that He calls holy to meet those standards.

We conclude our series by looking at the fruit of the Spirit which is the mark of holiness (Lev. 27:30). As we ask these 50 questions, evaluate your own life: are you actually saved (positionally holy), and if so, is there evidence in your life that you're walking right (practically holy)?

"Moderation"...the great lie of the Laodicean Church. This message has been a long time coming. You are urged to remember the key of bible study: "Let God be true and every man a liar". In other words, when you see something in God's word that goes contrary to what you believe, you surrender your will to his word, not the other way around.

Gambling, smoking/vaping/chewing/dipping, over/undereating, & laziness. If you look at this message as a list of "do's and don'ts" you've completely missed the point of holiness. God desires us to be CLEAN and SPOTLESS (2 Cor. 11:2). You need to ask "am I going to obey the word of God?", or is your mind already made up before you hear the matter (Prov. 18:13)?

Jesus' very first introduction of the Church was accompanied by a declaration that the gates of hell would not prevail against it. From its first mention, God's plan for an increasingly darkening world was a continually maturing Church. We must recapture and recommit to God's original intent for the Church, realizing it's more than Sunday morning.

Most entrepreneurs are so busy chasing new opportunities that they overlook the goldmine sitting right inside their own business. That's where eCommerce growth expert Sabir Semerkant comes in. With 25 years of experience and over $1 billion in incremental sales under his belt, Sabir knows exactly where businesses are leaving money on the table. He uses that experience to help other businesses grow through his growth mastermind curse, Growth By Sabir.In this episode, Sabir walks us through the often-overlooked opportunities that can be unlocked through performance optimization.

They have access to all the knowledge in the library, but they're not using it. Many entrepreneurs are the same. They have data all over the place, scattered in Shopify, Google Analytics, Klaviyo, Google ads, Meta ads, etc. But they don't  use that data to help them grow their business.” If you're ready to scale smarter, not harder, this episode is packed with game-changing insights.
