In this episode, Lorenzo Lasseter discusses the origins and future of the Beefmaster breed. Developed in South Texas and officially founded in 1937, Beefmasters were built as a three-way cross focused on economic efficiency through the “Six Essentials”: fertility, weight, conformation, hardiness, milk production, and disposition.Lasseter highlights the breed's balanced, stabilized hybrid design, recent USDA research validating its performance, growing international demand, and the opportunity to expand its role in the U.S. commercial cattle industry as the next generation continues the family legacy.
In this episode, Laura Williams joins Rhonda for a powerful conversation about caregiving, career reinvention, and building solutions born from lived experience. Laura Williams, a long-distance caregiver and legal advocate for her mother, shares how navigating a broken system inspired her to create a new approach to caregiving support. This episode explores career pivots rooted in purpose, the emotional weight of caregiving, and how personal challenges can become the foundation for meaningful professional reinvention and impact.Key Takeaways:Why long-distance caregiving adds unique emotional and logistical challengesHow lived experience can spark purpose-driven career reinventionThe importance of dignity, autonomy, and safety in caregiving decisionsHow removing friction and complexity creates better outcomes for familiesWhat it looks like to build a solution instead of settling for broken systemsWhy clarity and advocacy matter when supporting loved ones from afarMeet Laura WilliamsLaura A. Williams is the visionary founder of Respitely, the world's first CareGifting™ marketplace—making it as easy to gift care as sending flowers or a meal. A former corporate leader turned caregiving innovator, Laura brings firsthand experience as a long-distance caregiver and court-appointed conservator for her mother. Her work bridges technology, compassion, and community, redefining how families support one another through life's most challenging seasons with dignity and ease.Visit her website | Follow her on InstagramHow She PivotedLaura Williams' career pivot was driven by necessity, responsibility, and love. While supporting her mother from a distance, Laura found herself navigating fragmented caregiving systems, time-sensitive decisions, and overwhelming administrative hurdles. Acting not only as a daughter but also as her mother's legal advocate, she saw firsthand how difficult it was for families to find trusted care quickly and with confidence.“My job is not only to be her daughter, but also her legal advocate—and to make sure she can stay at home safely and with dignity.”Rather than accepting the friction and inefficiency of existing options, Laura reimagined the process entirely. She built a platform that removes guesswork, pre-vets care options, and allows families to secure care when and where it's needed—transforming a deeply personal challenge into a scalable, purpose-driven solution.Insights for Ambitious WomenLaura's story is a reminder that reinvention doesn't always come from ambition alone—it often comes from responsibility. For professional women balancing caregiving, leadership, and personal growth, this episode highlights how clarity and conviction can guide powerful career transitions.“Caregiving from a distance adds an additional layer of complexity—you can't be there at a moment's notice.”Laura encourages women to trust their lived experience as expertise. By honoring emotional intelligence, practical problem-solving, and advocacy, ambitious women can build careers thatWant More Like This?Be sure to subscribe to the podcast on your favourite platform so you never miss an episode.

The Exit Myth: From Corporate Success to a Purpose-Driven Exit Why selling the business isn't the finish line—and how real exit readiness changes everything.In this episode of the ExitMap Podcast, John Dini, The Exit Planning Coach, sits down with Melinda Adams to unpack the realities behind entrepreneurship, exit planning, and what truly happens after the sale of a business. Melinda shares her journey from corporate leadership at IBM and Oracle to owning—and eventually selling—a multi-location business, candidly discussing the costly mistakes she made by not being exit-ready. Together, they explore why so many owners underestimate taxes, overestimate proceeds, and fail to plan for life after the transaction. Melinda explains how her own exit experience reshaped her career, leading her to help owners identify their “freedom point” and avoid becoming part of the 75% who regret their exit. The conversation highlights the importance of holistic planning, assembling the right advisory team, and treating exit readiness as good business planning—not a last-minute event. For advisors and business owners alike, this episode reinforces a critical truth: a successful exit isn't about selling the business—it's about designing the life that comes next.

Who determines what 'good' Compliance actually looks like? The obvious answer is regulators (and in some jurisdictions) prosecutors. But what if it were the regulated Firms themselves? That's the idea behind purpose-driven compliance, which I'm exploring on this episode.Episode Summary To explore this, I'm joined by Veronica Root Martinez, Professor of Law at Duke University School of Law, to explore a deceptively simple but unsettling idea: 100% compliance is impossible. While we often behave as though perfect compliance is the goal — and in some safety-critical domains it must be — most organisational compliance involves humans. And humans make mistakes. Things get missed. Context changes. Stuff goes wrong.So if perfection isn't realistic, the real question becomes: how do organisations decide what really matters? The traditional answer has been to look outward — to regulators, enforcement authorities, and in some jurisdictions (particularly the US), prosecutors. Their priorities, expressed through sentencing guidelines, enforcement actions, and settlements, end up defining what “good” compliance looks like. Veronica challenges that logic. She argues that this gets things the wrong way round. Instead of letting enforcement priorities dictate behaviour, she makes the case for purpose-driven compliance — where organisations set their own priorities based on their purpose, values, and actual risks, rather than chasing shifting regulatory expectations. Along the way, the conversation explores culture, human judgment, psychological safety, technology, experimentation, and why “best practice” can sometimes make things worse rather than better. This episode is for anyone who writes rules, enforces them — or simply has to live under them.Guest BiographyVeronica Root Martinez is a Professor of Law at Duke University School of Law, where she researches corporate compliance, ethics, and organisational culture. Her work on purpose-driven compliance challenges enforcement-led models and explores how organisations can set priorities based on their own purpose, values, and risks.Before entering academia, Veronica practised as an associate at a large law firm in Washington, DC, where she worked on regulatory and white-collar matters — experience that strongly informs the practical orientation of her research.LinksProfessor Veronica Root Martinez – Faculty Profilehttps://law.duke.edu/fac/martinezVeronica on LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/veronica-root-martinez/Purpose-Driven Compliance (paper discussed in the episode)https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=6078766AI-Generated Timestamped Summary00:00 – 02:00 | “Because they said so”Christian reframes compliance as a universal human experience — not just a professional discipline — and introduces the problem of rules justified solely by regulatory expectation.02:00 – 05:30 | Why 100% compliance is impossibleVeronica explains why modern organisations cannot realistically achieve perfect compliance when humans are involved — and why pretending otherwise creates problems.05:30 – 10:30 | Tolerated misconduct and cultural driftHow allowing “small” rule-breaking can escalate into bigger issues, drawing on behavioural ethics and real-world corporate failures. 10:30 – 14:30 | Risk, prioritisation, and what really mattersA discussion of risk-based thinking, irrecoverable vs recoverable errors, and why organisations — not regulators — are best placed to set priorities. 14:30 – 18:30 | Enforcement swings and resilienceWhy compliance programmes built around enforcement trends are fragile, expensive, and reactive — and how purpose-driven approaches create stability. 18:30 – 23:30 | Innovation, uncertainty, and guardrailsWhy regulators are always behind innovation — and how values-based guardrails help employees make decisions in uncharted territory.23:30 – 30:30 | Technology, AI, and the human in the loopThe limits of automation, the danger of over-reliance on tech, and why human judgment remains essential.30:30 – 36:30 | Rules, loopholes, and malicious complianceHow overly detailed rulebooks create loopholes — and why purpose and principles offer a better basis for accountability.36:30 – 40:30 | The Costco exampleA powerful illustration of simplicity: four ethical principles that employees can actually understand and use.40:30 – 45:30 | Training, regulators, and unintended consequencesWhy blanket training requirements often miss the mark — and how enforcement agreements can accidentally undermine effectiveness.45:30 – 52:30 | Measuring culture and compliance effectivenessMoving beyond counting inputs to assessing outputs, including psychological safety, Speak Up systems, and cultural indicators.52:30 – 57:30 | Experimentation and learningWhy failed interventions aren't failure — they're information — and why compliance should be treated as an evolving experiment.57:30 – End | Reclaiming responsibilityA closing reflection on extrinsic motivation, “because I said so,” and why purpose-driven compliance offers a more human, defensible, and sustainable way forward.

Today, we have a true force for global good joining us. Our guest, Christian Lefer, has an incredible track record: he's personally been instrumental in launching around 5,000 nonprofits and counting for founders who are making an impact across the globe. This dedication to facilitating world-changing organizations has not only helped countless causes but has also earned Christian the honor of leading the highest-rated service of its kind in the entire business. Get ready to dive into the world of impact with Christian Lefer.Christian believes we are in the age of the “convergence of cause and commerce" – and that every entrepreneur, business owner, and community leader should be aware of the power of aligning a nonprofit with their life's work. Christian grew up steeped in nonprofits when his developmentally disabled sister first competed in Special Olympics decades ago, and our company was born out of Christian's “moral outrage” over how difficult it is for people to do good in this world by starting a nonprofit. And look at the times we live in!

What if self-love wasn't something we had to earn, but something we were born with? In this heartfelt conversation, Michelle Baer, author of Heart Full of Love and Heart Full of Empathy, joins Gill Tiney to explore children's emotional wellbeing, intrinsic self-worth, empathy, and the power of purpose-driven storytelling. Michelle shares how observing her granddaughter sparked a realization: children are born whole, loving, and confident, until societal labels and external validation begin to erode that truth. The episode dives into why nurturing self-love and empathy early in life is essential, especially in a world shaped by comparison, pressure, and digital influence. Michelle explains how her books gently address complex topics such as mental health, parental imprisonment, physical differences, and non-traditional identities, without shame, judgment, or fear, creating safe emotional spaces for both children and parents. Beyond the message, Michelle opens up about the realities of publishing a book, from the cathartic act of writing to the practical challenges of editing, illustrating, self-publishing, and marketing. She highlights the importance of collaboration, community support, and asking for help when bringing creative ideas into the world.Together, Gill and Michelle reflect on why these books resonate just as deeply with adults as they do with children, the role schools and educators play in emotional development, and why helping young people pursue what lights them up, sports, arts, or creative passions, builds confidence, belonging, and resilience. This episode is a reminder that love and empathy are not soft skills, they are life skills.

What happens when you stop masking who you are, and start building a life and business that feels alive? In this deeply human conversation, David Abel, founder of The Digital Lightbulb, joins Jill Tiney to explore authenticity, undiagnosed ADHD, inner genius, and the power of community over transactional success.David shares how years of masking his true self led to exhaustion, and how embracing authenticity unlocked creativity, connection, and purpose-driven work. Together, they discuss why most people have a “blind spot” to their own genius, the importance of external feedback, and how meaningful relationships help us recognize strengths we often overlook. Gill expands on the ethos behind Collaboration Global, a community built on mutual support, human connection, and contribution rather than status or networking optics.The episode also dives into parenting in a digital world, screen addiction, intergenerational wisdom, and the importance of open dialogue within families. From simple rituals that encourage emotional expression to redefining success beyond money, this conversation challenges listeners to rethink growth, fulfillment, and what truly matters. David reflects on his career journey, from chasing wealth and boardroom success to prioritizing purpose, fatherhood, learning, and impact. He shares his guiding philosophy of “learn, change, grow” and why helping others, building community, and creating purpose-led initiatives leads to a richer, more meaningful life, especially in a rapidly evolving, AI-driven world.

He highlights how preparation and faithful stewardship open doors for God-given opportunities, while neglect hinders growth. Thompson describes organizational leadership as the practical outworking of spiritual alignment—where administration and systems act as the “sails” that catch the Spirit's wind. He encourages leaders to focus on their strengths, delegate with trust, and empower others through modeling, mentoring, and releasing responsibility—cultivating shared success and freedom to pursue God's calling.Purchase The Christian Leader Blueprint book today: https://www.ryanfranklin.org/blueprintbookDownload The Christian Leader Blueprint – Short Guide (Free): https://www.ryanfranklin.org/blueprint Take the Christian Leader® Self-Assessment (Free):https://www.ryanfranklin.org/clselfassessment Learn more about Christian Leader® Community Coaching:https://www.ryanfranklin.org/communitycoaching YouTube and Audio Podcast: https://www.ryanfranklin.org/leaderpodcast Connect with Ryan: Email: info@ryanfranklin.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rnfranklin/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rnfranklin/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rnfranklin/ Audio mastering by Apostolic Audio: https://www.apostolic-audio.com#leadership, #thoughtleadership, #ministry, #pastor, #pastors, #churches, #leadershiptraining, #churchleader, #churchleaders, #influence, #leadershipdevelopment, #coaching, #executivecoach, #leadershipcoaching, #productivitycoach, #productivity, #growthmindset, #theproductiveleader, #ChristianLeader, #ChristianLeadership, #LeadershipPodcast, #FaithAndBusiness, #PodcastInterview, #ChristianEntrepreneurship, #KingdomImpact, #PodcastInspiration, #LeadershipJourney, #PurposeDriven, #ChristianPodcast, #LeadershipEssentials, #LeadershipFundamentalsSend us a text

Fatherhood is not a role a man steps into when it is easy. It is a calling that demands clarity, responsibility, and presence. In this episode of the I Am Dad Podcast, host Kenneth Braswell welcomes Jesse Anderson, a fatherhood coach, court-appointed monitor, and ministry leader whose work focuses on helping men lead their families with strength, faith, and emotional integrity. Jesse shares his deeply personal daddy story, growing up without a biological father and learning how to become a dad through mentors, faith, and lived experience. The conversation explores why many fathers disengage after separation or divorce, how leadership breaks down inside families, and why vulnerability, forgiveness, and consistency are essential to raising healthy children. Together, Braswell and Anderson examine the role of faith in shaping masculine leadership, the difference between being present and being accountable, and how fathers influence both sons and daughters through modeling, structure, and love. From courtrooms to kitchens, the discussion centers on one core truth: children thrive when fathers rise. This episode is a grounded, faith-centered conversation for fathers, mentors, and anyone committed to breaking generational cycles and building purpose-driven families.

The conversation starts with her daring career move from a global role at Deloitte to building a new organization from the ground up, which was fueled by a passion for meaningful innovation.If you've ever questioned your own courage to change course or felt the tug-of-war between personal boundaries and professional expectations, Kendra offers practical wisdom. She talks through her steps to manage risk when taking on something new, using self-reflection rather than bravado to guide decision-making. Facing imposter syndrome? She's been there too, and her advice is grounded and honest: focus on your unique contributions and let curiosity lead, especially when you're the newcomer in the room.For leaders building teams, or founders starting with just a vision, the conversation surfaces actionable insights such as the crucial role of constant communication, the importance of recognizing and rewarding small acts of courage in teams, and the need to set and protect personal boundaries to stave off burnout. Kendra is transparent about the challenges of remote work and the ongoing experiment to keep her own organization connected across digital distance.True leadership is about the quality of the questions we ask ourselves and others.

Through purpose-driven, self-honoring choices, we can reclaim our autonomy and replace old love addiction patterns with the self-love we truly crave and deserve. Empowering ourselves with the gift of a solid foundation, we build a life that's defined by our own rules, not someone else's. To unsheath the sword that slays people-pleasing and love addiction patterns, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with Britt Frank, a clinician, speaker, and trauma specialist, and the author of The Science of Stuck. Britt describes a powerful approach to taming the inner critic and ending the cycle of people-pleasing.

Families often sit together yet remain isolated on their devices. Citing Sherry Turkle and Cal Newport, Trimble urges people to “prioritize your presence,” being fully present with those nearby. He warns of the attention economy, where users become the product, and emphasizes practicing self-control, setting boundaries, and using technology intentionally to preserve meaningful relationships and spiritual well-being.Purchase The Christian Leader Blueprint book today: https://www.ryanfranklin.org/blueprintbookDownload The Christian Leader Blueprint – Short Guide (Free): https://www.ryanfranklin.org/blueprint Take the Christian Leader® Self-Assessment (Free):https://www.ryanfranklin.org/clselfassessment Learn more about Christian Leader® Community Coaching:https://www.ryanfranklin.org/communitycoaching YouTube and Audio Podcast: https://www.ryanfranklin.org/leaderpodcast Connect with Ryan: Email: info@ryanfranklin.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rnfranklin/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rnfranklin/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rnfranklin/ Audio mastering by Apostolic Audio: https://www.apostolic-audio.com#leadership, #thoughtleadership, #ministry, #pastor, #pastors, #churches, #leadershiptraining, #churchleader, #churchleaders, #influence, #leadershipdevelopment, #coaching, #executivecoach, #leadershipcoaching, #productivitycoach, #productivity, #growthmindset, #theproductiveleader, #ChristianLeader, #ChristianLeadership, #LeadershipPodcast, #FaithAndBusiness, #PodcastInterview, #ChristianEntrepreneurship, #KingdomImpact, #PodcastInspiration, #LeadershipJourney, #PurposeDriven, #ChristianPodcast, #LeadershipEssentials, #LeadershipFundamentalsSend us a text
Purpose doesn't start with a massive career leap — it starts with paying closer attention. If you're feeling successful on paper but disconnected in your day-to-day work, begin here: for one week, track when you feel energized and when you feel depleted. Don't judge it or try to fix it yet. Simply collect the data. This simple awareness practice is often the first step leaders need to move from achievement mode into intentional leadership.Another place to start is learning how to pause. Whether that looks like a few minutes of reflection between meetings, a brief grounding exercise before difficult conversations, or opening a team session with a moment of stillness, the pause creates space for clarity. Leaders who build this muscle make better decisions, communicate more effectively, and lead with greater presence — not urgency.Jessica Hutson knows this shift firsthand. After years in high-performing corporate environments, including leadership roles at Facebook and TikTok, she began to recognize that promotions and accolades weren't what truly fueled her. Instead of chasing the next milestone, she slowed down and started noticing patterns — what lit her up, what drained her, and where she felt most alive. That awareness eventually became the foundation for her work today as the founder of Little Torch Leadership.One of the most powerful leadership practices Jessica shares is values work. When leaders feel misaligned or “off,” it's often because their daily actions aren't matching what they actually value. To uncover this, ask yourself three questions regularly: What gives me energy? What feels important right now? What consistently drains me? Over time, patterns emerge — and those patterns reveal your values. From there, purpose becomes less abstract and far more actionable.As a final step, don't wait for clarity before taking action. Purpose is refined through movement, not overthinking. Choose one small decision this week — a meeting, a conversation, or a boundary — and intentionally align it with one of your values. Reflect afterward on how it felt. That feedback loop is what turns purpose into a practical leadership compass.Follow Jessica on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessicahutson/Visit Jessica's Website: https://littletorchleadership.com/Links & Resources:Follow Suken on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sukenjain/Email Suken at: suken@synergysyncsolutions.comSynergy Sync Solutions Website: https://www.synergysyncsolutions.com/This episode was brought to you by Pivot Ball Change.

Shannon gets candid about overcoming imposter syndrome, learning the business side of speaking through The Speaker Lab, and tackling the not-so-glamorous parts.If you're someone who wonders if you're “special enough” to be on stage, or if you've wrestled with questions of timing, self-doubt, or financial security in pursuing your passion, you'll walk away with encouragement to start where you are, leverage your experience, and take that next step!You'll learn:Starting before you're 100% readyTransitioning from learning to pitching, discovery calls, and social media outreachRecognizing value in communication versus sharing it on stageOvercoming fears or doubts about speaking in front of groupsThe misconception that speakers need unique backgroundsSolving a specific problem for a specific audiencePackaging expertise into a sellable productAnd much, much more!“Everybody, even though we're all kind of ordinary, normal, what I consider middle class Americans, we all have a unique experience and so we can take what we have experienced and teach others.”Episode ResourcesShannon's WebsiteGet Free Speaker ResourcesBook a Call with The Speaker LabCalculate Your Speaking FeeJoin The Speaker Lab Community on FacebookSubscribe on Apple PodcastsSubscribe on SpotifySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Happiness expert Monique Rhodes explains why retirement often feels disorienting at first — and how creating a personal retirement roadmap can turn this transition into one of the most fulfilling stages of life. Retirement is often marketed as the ultimate reward. After decades of work, deadlines, and responsibility, you finally arrive at a chapter filled with freedom, rest, and happiness. But for many people, that moment doesn't feel the way they expected. In this episode of Retire Today, I sat down with Monique Rhodes, a happiness expert who works with people around the world — especially those approaching or entering retirement — to talk about why this transition can feel unsettling and how to approach it with intention. Why Retirement Can Feel So Uncomfortable For years, work provides structure, identity, and a built-in sense of purpose. Then one day, it's gone. Monique explained that retirement often removes all of that at once. “The structure, the identity, the daily sense of purpose — they all fall away at the same time,” she said. What's left can feel like freedom… or confusion. In fact, research shows that many people experience lower happiness in the first year of retirement than when they were working. Feelings of restlessness, anxiety, loneliness, and even grief are common — but rarely talked about. This doesn't mean retirement was a mistake. It means the transition requires more than financial preparation alone. Comfort vs. Happiness One of the most thought-provoking ideas Monique shared is that too much comfort can actually work against happiness. She described how modern life is designed to remove friction — from climate-controlled homes to effortless entertainment. But living without any “edge” can dull creativity, resilience, and engagement. “If we're consistently living in comfort, we lose our ability to adapt,” she explained. Happiness, she argues, comes from a balance — not too tense, not too relaxed. Monique used powerful metaphors throughout the conversation, from surfing ocean waves to tuning a guitar string. Too loose or too tight, and it doesn't work. The same is true for life in retirement. Retirement Is Not a Holiday — It's a Redesign Many people enter retirement expecting it to feel like a permanent vacation. Monique sees this expectation create unnecessary disappointment. “Retirement is sold to us as a never-ending holiday,” she said. “But when that structure disappears overnight, people are suddenly faced with the question of who they are.” This is where her Retirement Roadmap comes in — a framework designed to help people intentionally rebuild purpose, routines, relationships, and meaning. Rather than drifting through unstructured time, retirees are encouraged to create days that feel energizing and aligned with who they are now — not who their job required them to be. Rebuilding Purpose From the Inside Out One of the most powerful moments in the conversation was when Monique talked about building a new relationship with yourself. After years of serving careers, businesses, and families, many retirees struggle to answer a simple question: What do I enjoy? Monique often starts by asking clients to think back to childhood interests — art, music, movement, creativity — and explore those again without pressure. “Your purpose isn't gone,” she said. “It's just no longer handed to you by a job description.” She emphasized that this phase of life offers something rare: the freedom to choose intentionally — where you live, how you spend your time, who you invest energy in, and what brings joy. Three Questions Worth Asking Toward the end of our conversation, Monique shared three questions she believes are foundational for a fulfilling retirement: Where do I want to be that makes me happiest? What do I want to do that makes me happiest? Who do I want to be with that makes me happiest? These questions don't have one-time answers. They evolve — and that's part of the beauty of this stage of life. The Bottom Line Retirement isn't just a financial transition. It's a psychological and emotional one as well. When approached consciously, it can become one of the most liberating and meaningful chapters of life — not because everything is perfect, but because you're living with intention.

He shared his personal journey of leaving a successful banking career after God called him into full-time ministry, emphasizing obedience and faith. Through that season, he learned that true leadership begins with self-leadership—managing one's mind, will, and emotions with humility and awareness—so that inner life aligns with God's purpose and doesn't “leak” under pressure or ego.Purchase The Christian Leader Blueprint book today: https://www.ryanfranklin.org/blueprintbookDownload The Christian Leader Blueprint – Short Guide (Free): https://www.ryanfranklin.org/blueprint Take the Christian Leader® Self-Assessment (Free):https://www.ryanfranklin.org/clselfassessment Learn more about Christian Leader® Community Coaching:https://www.ryanfranklin.org/communitycoaching YouTube and Audio Podcast: https://www.ryanfranklin.org/leaderpodcast Connect with Ryan: Email: info@ryanfranklin.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rnfranklin/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rnfranklin/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rnfranklin/ Audio mastering by Apostolic Audio: https://www.apostolic-audio.com#leadership, #thoughtleadership, #ministry, #pastor, #pastors, #churches, #leadershiptraining, #churchleader, #churchleaders, #influence, #leadershipdevelopment, #coaching, #executivecoach, #leadershipcoaching, #productivitycoach, #productivity, #growthmindset, #theproductiveleader, #ChristianLeader, #ChristianLeadership, #LeadershipPodcast, #FaithAndBusiness, #PodcastInterview, #ChristianEntrepreneurship, #KingdomImpact, #PodcastInspiration, #LeadershipJourney, #PurposeDriven, #ChristianPodcast, #LeadershipEssentials, #LeadershipFundamentalsSend us a text
