His philosophy of surrounding himself with people he genuinely believes in has shaped every chapter of his career.Luis Guzman and Tim also discuss the realities of entrepreneurship, building a recognizable brand, earning trust with customers, creating authentic partnerships, and why personal integrity still matters in business. They explore the difference between chasing money and creating lasting value, along with the importance of staying true to yourself even when opportunities tempt you to compromise your principles.The conversation naturally shifts into topics that every creative entrepreneur can relate to, including burnout, discipline, fitness, confidence, handling criticism, and learning to slow down without giving up on ambitious goals.

Romans 8:5-85 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. 6 For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. 7 For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot. 8 Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

Acts 21:1-14Jonah 1:1-6Mark 14:32-36John 15:12-17

16 Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw that the city was full of idols. 17 So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with those who happened to be there. 18 Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also conversed with him. And some said, “What does this babbler wish to say?” Others said, “He seems to be a preacher of foreign divinities”—because he was preaching Jesus and the resurrection. 19 And they took him and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, “May we know what this new teaching is that you are presenting? 20 For you bring some strange things to our ears. We wish to know therefore what these things mean.” 21 Now all the Athenians and the foreigners who lived there would spend their time in nothing except telling or hearing something new.

Welcome to the first episode of the Team Nerd Tech Show with your host, Tim Gillen.  This week, Tim's talking all about why you need a "team nerd" on your small business team, plus why Whatsapp, Facebook, and Instagram may not be as innocuous and encrypted as you once thought.
