After twenty years in vocational ministry, Kathy and I have a habit of forewarning new hires at UBN to expect trouble. The enemy doesn't want our ministry to succeed.   It's not uncommon to watch new employees experience significant challenges. Challenges may be health related, household appliances breaking, or event persecution.  One of our employees ... The post The Fiery Ordeal appeared first on Unconventional Business Network.

Mark recently moved to Kyiv and co-founded the Ukraine Business Network (UBN), a platform that provides research to industry leaders. The goal is to aid foreign investors operating in the country and ultimately contribute to the nation's reconstruction. Through panels, reports, and surveys, UBN gives businesses insight into their opportunities in Ukraine during times of war. It works with 4,000+ companies across sectors, including the World Bank Group, UN, Coca-Cola, Radisson, McDonald's, and the Wall Street Journal. An expert analyst on Ukraine and CIS countries, Mark has spent 15 years tracking the region's political, economic, social, and intelligence activities. He has also instructed at the U.S. Army's Combating Terrorism Center, teaching counterterrorism courses to CIA and FBI agents. He was previously the Managing Director of FrontierView (Europe), an advisory firm valued at $18M that gives 300+ multinationals market intelligence to help their businesses grow. He has been featured on Bloomberg, Harvard Business Review, Forbes, and the BBC. On the podcast, Mark discusses How do you start a company in a war zone without income or local knowledge?

Mark discussed his personal and academic background that led him to focus on this region, and his decision to move to Kyiv last October to be part of Ukraine's recovery and reconstruction efforts. The Significance of Ukraine's Conflict @ 3:00 Michael and Mark discussed the importance of recognizing that the conflict in Ukraine is not just about the current war, but is part of a larger geopolitical struggle between Western democratic values and the "might makes right" mentality of Russia and other non-Western powers. They emphasized that Ukraine's fight is not just for its own sovereignty, but for upholding the international order and rules-based systems that the West believes are better for humanity. The Human Toll and Resilience of Ukrainians @ 8:26 The conversation explored the immense human suffering and trauma experienced by Ukrainians due to the war, including the stories of families being separated, people fleeing their homes, and the psychological impact on the nation. However, they also highlighted the resilience and determination of the Ukrainian people to carry on with their daily lives and livelihoods despite the ongoing challenges. Opportunities for Rebuilding and Recovery @ 19:44 Mark and Michael discussed the importance of the work that UBN Network is doing to help facilitate Ukraine's economic recovery and reconstruction, even as the war continues. They emphasized the need for the West to continue supporting Ukraine and providing resources to help the country rebuild, with the goal of eventually transitioning from a wartime to a peacetime economy. Closing and Call to Action @ 21:11 In closing, Michael thanked Mark for his work and encouraged listeners to connect with Mark and UBN Network to learn more about the situation in Ukraine and how they can get involved in supporting the country's recovery efforts.  

My view on charitable giving was originally limited to giving cash to my church. But when I began accepting donations to UBN, I learned that giving can take different forms.  Over the years, we've had generous people donate stock, copy machines, IRAs, and even a $20,000 luxury car! Business owners can also donate stock in ... The post What Should I Give? appeared first on Unconventional Business Network.

Every budget process I can recall has projected a revenue increase the following year. Yet, since 1923, America has experienced 15 recessions: approximately one every seven years.   This caused me to reflect on UBN's history. We began in January 2002. Seven years later the Great Recession hit, resulting in a difficult year financially for UBN.   ... The post Preparing for Business Cycles: Part I appeared first on Unconventional Business Network.

It has not been the season – thus far – that fans of the New Orleans Saints have expected. However, is it the one we all should have seen coming? It is time to go through and give our midseason grades for the team. We have a special Wednesday Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 190) to dish out the reality, and host Jim Derry brought in Larry Holder from his regular Friday spot. What do we give the offense? The defense? And yes, we even grade the coaching and the overall team. To finish the show, Uncle Big Nick is here a day early to share the best bets of the week in the NFL and for college football. (Jim is trying to get a rare bad taste out of his mouth from last week, while UBN has a chance to gloat.)

As the college football season enters its final month of the regular season, we have hit the midway point of the NFL season. And with it being Thursday, Jim Derry and Uncle Big Nick look to stay in the green with their best bets of the week, that include UBN's parlay on the LSU-Alabama game and Jim's top plays in the NFL on Ep. 184.

Normally, Thursday is a day when we have long turned the page on the previous week of football and moved on to the upcoming slate of action. However, Dattitude Podcast host Jim Derry spent the early part of the week in bed sick and did not have a chance to share his frustrations on the Saints' 26-9 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this past Sunday. Consider those frustrations released in Ep. 174. Is it Dennis Allen? Was it Pete Carmichael? Did Derek Carr come back too soon? Is the defense tired? Is it a combination of all of those things? Now that the first quarter of the season is over, what's the future of this team in 2023, and can it be fixed? And of course, Uncle Big Nick finishes off the show with Jim, as the duo offers their best bets of the week. Both “stay in their lanes,” as UBN is on college, while Jim has five top NFL plays.

It's Thursday, so that means it's time to make some picks on Dattitude with Jim Derry and Uncle Big Nick. On Ep. 172, Jim is all NFL as usual, and he has a teaser, a parlay and 3 other picks. UBN is staying mostly in his lane, picking 4 college plays and slips in a NFL selection from across the pond.

It's Thursday, so that means it's time to make some picks on Dattitude with Jim Derry and Uncle Big Nick. On Ep. 169, Jim is all NFL as usual, and he has a teaser, a total and three line plays, including one that involves Tua vs. Payton. UBN is making college plays with four of his five picks, including the three biggest games of the week.

Recently, someone asked Kathy, if she and I could sell Unconventional Business Network when we were ready to retire. One misunderstanding about nonprofits is how the ownership works.  Kathy and I do not own the assets of UBN. The ministry is publicly owned. Our pay is limited to whatever our independent board of directors approve. ... The post God Owns Everything appeared first on Unconventional Business Network.
