When it comes to qualities like sacrifice, strength, and empathy, few groups exemplify them better than military veterans. These individuals, having faced the challenges of military life, possess a special set of traits that align remarkably well with the demands of ministry.    Moving from a life of duty in the armed forces to one focused on spiritual service might not seem like an obvious transition, but as we look closer, the connections become clear. Veterans, shaped by their dedication to a greater purpose and their encounters with human struggles, have qualities that make them a perfect fit for ministry roles.   Our guest in this episode designed and executed a statewide outreach office for the Ohio National Guard to educate and engage civilians in support of troops and their families. Through the coalition of military and civilian faith community leaders she built, they taught civilians how to develop Military Ministries.   Lt. Col. Kathy Gallowitz is the co-founder of Ohio’s non-profit Veteran Interfaith Bridge and the consultant who helped initiate the Arizona Coalition for Military Families Be Connected Faith Network.   Through her business Vanguard Veteran, she equips civilians to start Military Ministries and become Veteran Champions.

   If you are among the 2.5 million employees working in sales in the United States, you understand the challenges that come with converting potential leads into closed sales, even for the most talented salespeople. Regardless of the industry you're in, it requires a diverse set of skills and knowledge to convince prospective customers that your solution is the ideal fit for their specific problem.    Our guest in this episode comes from an industry that many may not realize to be a niche that you drive sales into.    Dr David Pearce started and owned a dental practice for 25 years before selling that business in 2021.

   When a machine breaks down, it's clear that there's a flaw in its mechanics or system, which can be identified and fixed to make the machine work again. However, dealing with complex living systems like families, workplaces, or the natural environment,  success systems are  not so straightforward. These systems are dynamic, lacking a simple baseline to restore, and they often overlap and interconnect with other systems. As a result, successful systems can be illusive, and implementing simple solutions can easily backfire.    A Systems Thinking mindset helps problem-solvers approach, consider, and predict the outcomes of their ideas, making it an invaluable concept when dealing with any system.  Business system support helps business owners learn to fish rather than be given a fish.    But how can you develop a systems mindset? Our guest in this episode will be a fantastic resource on this topic.    Josh is a consultant, coach, and speaker, who specializes in business system analysis and business systems for small business.   With his skills in business system analysis he is the sole worldwide licensing agent for the Work the System Method, based on Sam Carpenter’s book Work the System: The Simple Mechanics of Making More and Working Less,  now in its fourth edition.

The Bible says, “To everything, there is a season. A time to be born, and a time to die … a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance” (Ecclesiastes 3:1–2, 4).  Coping with loss may require grief help and eventually grief healing.   Grief comes in waves and grief unresolved can impact every area of your life. Knowing that death and grieving are necessary may not soften the pain, but it can make happiness sweeter in its season. Our guest in this grief podcast is a parent who lost her child and experienced the mental and physical pain of grief. Through devotion in faith, she reached out to God for help to survive. Carole Sluski is also an author who gathered her expertise, knowledge, and talent and put it to use for her recovery and to benefit others she loves.

Many faith-based or spiritual business owners don’t always like the idea of labeling other businesses who provide similar services as “competitors”.  We don’t want to be in the competitive analysis business.   Being abundant thinkers, we believe there are more than enough clients, revenue, etc., for all of us.   Many of us have not given much thought to our company competitive advantage. While that is true.  When we better understand our competitors and their strengths and weaknesses relative to ours, we can better position ourselves better.  Your business competitive advantage knowledge is a tremendous asset. We can create marketing plans and communication strategies so it is easier for our ideal clients to find us. Our radio guest today can show us how to get even more creative in how we showcase and package when we offer perfectly suited for those we want to serve, with competitive advantage examples and competitive edge examples.  Robbie Phoenixx is an industry and C-Suite recognized competitive intelligence expert working with Fortune 1000 companies like Live Nation, Verizon, and AT&T.   In this important, but often overlooked field of business competitive intelligence, as a keynote speaker and strategic marketing leader, Robbie shares with entrepreneurs and top business leaders how to leverage one's creative advantage to become your competitive advantage.

When it comes to counseling and mental health support, discussions often revolve around empathy, understanding, and inclusivity. In recent times, a question has emerged: Are there conservative counselors?   What does God say about mental illness?  Is there any such thing as Christian Mental Health Counseling?   Do mental health and religion need to be a part of the same conversation?  How does mental health and Christianity fit? This query stems from a growing awareness of the importance of diverse perspectives within the counseling profession. Just as political ideologies encompass a wide spectrum, so too do the beliefs and values of counselors. In this episode, we will explore the presence and role of conservative counselors, the potential benefits and challenges they may encounter, and the implications of their existence within the counseling field. By examining this topic, we can gain insights into the diversity of counseling approaches and the potential impact they may have on clients seeking support. Our guest in this episode, Johnny Sanders, started Truth & Grace Counseling as a way to help Christians integrate their faith into their mental health needs.  As a Christian himself he understands the importance spiritual health plays into mental health.  He is a believer in the concept of Christian Mental Health.  He believes mental illness and Christianity can be openly discussed together.

About six months ago, we had the opportunity to interview Sally Gimon, discussing Spendthrift Trusts.   We barely scratched the surface of what we planned to talk about regarding tax protection, wealth protection, financial protection, and infinite banking, so I invited her back for a second interview. In our previous episodes, we have been introduced to infinite banking by our guest experts Brandon Neely and Jason K Powers. In this episode,  we'll continue exploring the fundamental principles behind Spendthrift Trusts and how they can serve as a powerful tool in safeguarding your assets and securing your financial future.  Our expert today is a licensed life insurance agent for 19 years and specializes in Infinite Banking. She helps clients become debt-free in ⅓ of the time and then insures their money when making investments. Sally Gimon was motivated to become a real estate investor when her mom became sick in October 2018.  Sally was 53 and needed to make a change in her life quickly.  She has been an insurance agent for 20 years and has used her experience to make positive changes.  Now she shares her information weekly in her real estate group and Win, Win Women TV. In July 2020 she bought a Bank Owned Property for $20,000 that would go to auction for $50,000 when Covid restrictions lifted.  She knew her Capital Gains would be $7,140 and researched how the rich paid so little in taxes.  This led her to find the Business and Beneficial Spendthrift Trusts and help others with financial empowerment.

In many cultures, a prevailing expectation exists for men to embody strength, self-reliance, and independence. From a young age, they are often taught to believe they must shoulder responsibility and navigate life's challenges without asking for help. This cultural phenomenon can have significant implications for men's mental health, relationships, and overall well-being. The pressure to "do it all by themselves" can create a sense of isolation, hinder the development of healthy support systems, and perpetuate harmful stereotypes of masculinity. This societal narrative places a heavy weight on men's shoulders, reinforcing the notion that seeking assistance or expressing vulnerability is a sign of weakness or failure. As a result, men may find themselves grappling with their emotions in silence, reluctant to seek the support they may desperately need.   The need for life coaches for men is becoming increasingly evident.  But where do male life coaches hang out?  Where can you find a male life coach? Our guest in this episode is a  Chemist who left the corporate world and now helps men everywhere discover how to get more of what they want and live the promise of abundant life, as a life coach for men. . By combining analytical science, psychology, and the time-honored teachings of the Faith, Men’s life coach  Michael Jaquith's life coaching for men practice  helps men who feel stuck, confused, and powerless to unlock those chains and find what they want.  Resources mentioned on this podcast:  Michael Jaquith’s Website  Catholic Life Coach for Men Podcast Free Report, Five Steps to Create a Sustainable Business Balancing Profit, Values, and Quality of Life: Step-by-step Video Training for Faith-based and Spiritual Business Owners.:  Think Christina might be the right resource for you, but have a few questions, direct message her on LinkedIn or via the contact page on her website with the phrase, ‘READY TO THRIVE”, and we can start a conversation.  LinkedIn:  Christina M.

Getting sued or otherwise making a legal misstep is a fear in the back of everyone’s minds, but none so much as the new business owner who is just trying their best to get off to the right start. With licensing, hiring, trademarking, contracting, and other factors to consider, if you didn’t go to law school you probably have some idea that you need professional input in this area.  Sound advice helps not just to simply avoid running into legal problems, but to enjoy successful and thriving business systems. Our guest in this episode, Matthew Davis, shares with us some of the most important legal considerations for startups and new business owners - which areas are okay to DIY, which areas you absolutely need to consult a business lawyer on, and how to find an experienced and trustworthy lawyer in your area who knows their stuff when it comes to small business laws.  

It never fails: when we speak to entrepreneurs who are fulfilled, satisfied, and couldn’t imagine doing anything else with their lives, whatever their niche is, it’s always about serving others and bringing some form of enrichment to people’s lives.

“More time” is something all of us as business owners wish for. In fact, feeling rushed, stressed, and under time constraints for deadlines and marketing and networking is a huge factor when it comes to making mistakes in business or even deciding to close it all down. Women especially struggle with feelings of guilt and lack of confidence when it comes to saying no to things that don’t serve us in our businesses and our personal lives. The repercussions can spill over into all of these areas, causing us to never be truly present in the moment whether we are leading a meeting, working with a client, or playing with our kids.  Our guest in this episode, Pam Drzewiecki, teaches entrepreneurs how to create a life that works for them, from sorting the urgent from the necessary, to learning how to be okay with empty space on the calendar, to discovering what really matters most in life and business.

Leads may or may not be too hard to come by - even qualified leads - but when it comes to turning those leads into paying clients, that’s where many business owners falter. Many of us       feel our confidence level drop when we start talking about money, or even feel guilty or embarrassed to give a sales pitch. We want to learn to convert conversations to clients more effectively, but with a level of integrity that makes the whole process feel authentic and true to ourselves. Our guest in this episode teaches a process of turning leads into clients from your value-based sales conversations, in total integrity and authenticity.

No matter how “successful” we may be in business, most of us at some point experience a form of burnout. We feel depressed, don’t enjoy the highs in business as much, and generally just go through the motions in our daily routine. What if we could get that “spark” back - that fire that lit under us when we first began, driving us to passionately execute each detail, inspiring everyone around us with our spirit of motivation and enjoyment? Our guest in this episode provides transformational coaching to help tired, disconnected women rediscover real enjoyment and passion again in life, business, and every other arena. Lee Noto is a “Burnout to Bliss” Transformational Coach with first-hand experience in feeling burned out and disconnected with what she once enjoyed.

A lot of us dreamed of starting our own business and being our own boss, but may not have known exactly what type of business we wanted to go into. Cafes and shops sound dreamy, coaching sounds fulfilling, crafting would be a great outlet...but the reality is that these business ideas are oversaturated in most areas. If you want to not only stay in business, but thrive as you serve your market and earn the revenue you desire, you’d better have a unique twist to your offering that really makes you stand out.  Our guest today took a different approach to going into business, by seeing a need that was going unmet in the marketplace, and creating a startup that would fill the gap. Michael Ly is the CEO and co-founder of Reconciled, a completely online-based accounting firm which lets business owners get their bookkeeping done in a fast, easy, and painless way with help from a certified accountant.

Few of us are fully prepared for setbacks in life, whether they happen in our business, in our families, our health, or any other sector. But it's what we do with those setbacks that ultimately transform us into who we're meant to become, for the good or bad. How can we learn to take the obstacles in our lives and grow past them to become better people, better Christians, better business owners? Our guest in this episode will share with us how her personal journey through some of life's most crushing obstacles not only led to the other side, but to a richly meaningful life teaching others what it means to persevere.

In this part two of our interview with Kelly McCausey,  we’ll explore Kelly’s rags-to-riches story and how you can work smart to develop multiple, many passive, revenue streams in your business.

This week we will pick Kelly’s brain on the step-by-step way to build a profitable business with multiple revenue streams.

A lot of women have the entrepreneurial spirit but fail to pursue their dreams of working for themselves. Being expected to perfectly wear several hats simultaneously and tirelessly, these women are weighed down with reasons and fears not to begin their own businesses. Or for those who have gone past their fears, starting out overworked and underpaid is a common scenario. In this competitive age of online businesses, how do you get started pursuing your passion of building your own enterprise?  Our guest in this episode began her business ventures in 2002 as a broke single mom making graphics and creating websites for home-based business owners. Working hard with long hours she soon realized she charged too little for her time and talents.   Kelly McCausey eventually started working smarter instead of harder, discovered better ways to build an income online, and founded Love People + Make Money. Kelly blogs, podcasts, creates information products and runs a membership program.  Now, she has a six-figure online business running a membership program and hosting live retreats (on the beach!) for female entrepreneurs to help them build up their communities and businesses. In this first part of a two-part series, we’ll explore Kelly’s rags to riches story and how you can work smart to develop multiple, many passive, revenue streams in your business.

Personal finance is oftentimes something that is first learned outside the classroom. When we were kids, perhaps the education we receive came from the financial habits we see around us– the TV, family and friends. Some of what we learn may be positive. But more likely, we are picking up incorrect or distorted ideas about money and financial management from what we absorb around us. Whether we  realize it or not, our early relationship with money did impact our finances as adults. This is why it’s so important for us adults to help our children acquire the knowledge and skills they need to build healthy financial habits down the road.  Our guest in this episode will share with us a wealth of knowledge about teaching kids financial literacy. Richard Logan is the CEO of Incent, a startup company dedicated to teaching children the financial management skills they need to become responsible, successful adults. Through fun financial education, Incent  helps financial institutions grow and build deposits and customer loyalty. Richard is a former Chief Information Officer (CIO) at Credit Union of America. He began developing the application in 2018 as a result of his own needs with his own children.

As a business owner, salesmanship skills are an integral part of bringing in revenue. However, as faith-based business owners, we often worry about how to come across as completely authentic in our sales interactions, ensuring that we are using high-integrity methods while also ensuring that our income needs are met.    Sometimes selling a physical product such as a car or machinery, or in direct sales, or selling an intangible service such as coaching or financial planning, may make us uncomfortable.   But the fact is, we must use sales methods in order to turn a prospect into income that puts food on our tables and keeps our lights on. We want to make sure that we are walking in total integrity and alignment as faith-based business owners making sales. This conundrum is the basis for a dynamic coaching system which exists to help Christian salespeople improve their sales performances through authenticity and meaningful relationship building within their communities.  Justin Janowski is the CEO of Faith2Influence, which has been changing the outlook of Christian business owners and leaders on sales over the last year. Justin's experience in sales, coaching, leadership, and personal development led him to create Faith2Influence to guide other faith-based entrepreneurs through their most financially profitable, and spiritually aligned, sales journeys.

Many verses in the Bible talk about money, and for some, the teachings can be conflicting. On one hand it says it’s the root of all evil; but it also talks about ways to use your money to a blessing to others. Money is also  discussed in the Bible as there’s a direct correlation between the way we handle our money and our faith. When it comes to money, we will either worship wealth or worship with our wealth. These conflicting ideas led two young Harvard MBA graduates explore the intersection of faith and money.  John Cortines and Gregory Baumer, through their book, “God And Money: How We Discovered True Riches At Harvard Business School”, tell their story of God’s transforming power and how it changed their lives and their relationship with money. Now from their second book, “True Riches: What Jesus Really Said About Money and Your Heart”, we have the honor of co-author Greg Baumer here to share with our listeners his journey towards wealth and stewardship.

Financial planning is challenging enough when you have a set salary.  But for entrepreneurs, who eat what they kill, feast or famine revenue streams can put saving for the future on the back burner.  And the 17 hats newer or even long standing business owners are juggling to keep everything in the black doesn’t always allow as much time working on the business to creatively look for creative ways to bring more money into their businesses and lives. Fancy investment strategies don’t cut the mustard when one hasn’t mastered the  initial goal of generating more money to be able to invest. Our guest in this episode, author and podcast host Jason Parker,   shares his simple tips on making more money and how to more effectively save for the future.

In an increasingly online world, there's simply too much information available for most of us to filter out. That's why we look to influencers: highly visible social media figures who share our values and interests and who we look to for trusted recommendations.  Our guest in this episode shares how she used her skills and status as an online influencer to build a niche business that not only keeps her at the forefront of her target audience's minds, but successfully sustains streams of revenue.

Our guest returned to Christ later in life.  He experienced worldly success in the hospitality industry as a non-Christian and in his new life in Christ.  As a successful restaurateur, he faced cultural issues in the workplace as he sought change and had to overcome his fear of speaking.  Our guest transitioned from being a hater of Christians to a believer and champion. But that didn’t eliminate issues that many face around toxic work environments, the fast pace of life, and the backlash that comes with being bold for a cause you now believe is worth fighting for.  Peter Demos entered the family restaurant business at the age of twelve, learning all aspects of the business from the bottom up.  After becoming a lawyer, Peter returned to the food industry, becoming the President of Toot’s Restaurant and Toot’s Franchising. Peter created a mission-focused culture in his restaurants, while he dealt with shocks and challenges from colleagues and others in his professional and personal life when he boldly came back to Christ in middle age.

What is it that you desire out of life? What is it that you are passionate about? These are questions that get asked of all of us as we imagine our futures. We seem to operate under the belief that if we just find out what we are passionate about, everything else will fall into place and we will live the life we have always dreamt of.  But here’s the problem with this approach: It hardly ever works. But did you know that designing your life—that is, the process of becoming your best self and creating a lifestyle that is tailored to your preferences, passions, and dreams—is achievable for those who are willing to put in the work?   In this episode life coach Denise Walsh shares some tips on how to get started designing a life that you’ve been dreaming of–and can be proud of.

Most people would agree that life can be messy.  When you are a business owner on top of that, it can get even messier. One of the differences between us and the angels is that God gave us earthly bodies.  Throw the daily details of being human in the mix, if not handled properly, and you can have a real mess! Add the complexity of the drama of salvation history and visible and invisible battle for our souls in active spiritual warfare, and it’s hard to keep anything clean!

In a saturated and highly competitive industry, business owners have to work harder and more creatively to even get noticed. This can lead to burnout, or having to take on less satisfying jobs to pay the bills since your dream career isn’t overflowing with revenue.  Our guest in this episode shares how he used his skills in one of the most competitive industries in the world to create a whole new income-producing niche which uses his talents, helps the next generation thrive, and builds revenue.

And recently, Bruce stepped out in faith to incorporate spirituality into his mission and message, combining his revenue-generating career niche with spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Distance used to be a hurdle for most with all kinds of business and personal connections, including romantic ones.  Business owners are wise not to get too sucked into working too much at the expense of investing in personal relationships. With so many communication apps available now, distance may no longer be an obstacle to having a long distance relationship (LDR). Staying in touch has never been easier; however, actually connecting with someone living a few hundred — or thousand — miles away is still no easy feat. Add that to the normal ups and downs of being in a relationship it's no wonder that LDRs don't work for everyone. However LDRs can and do work — it just takes some creativity, communication, planning, and sometimes, even mentoring. Our guest in this episode is the founder of Undivided, a professional mentoring business specially made for people in long distance relationships. Undivided focuses on personal development, mutual growth, and unlocking for their clients, a rock-solid bond with their partner that not only withstands the tests of distance, but the tests of time. Johnathan Jena was in a long distance relationship himself for over 3 years, bridging the 3,100 miles distance. He and his partner developed ways to help them cope with many of the common issues long-distance couples face (such as loneliness, conflict resolution, intimacy, jealousy, personal growth, etc.).  In a world where long distance love is still often seen as "illegitimate" or "not worth the risk", Johnathan, through his company, wants to show people that there is an easier way to feel close when you're far apart.

In this age of infinite choices, small business owners need to be creative in finding ways to stand out in a crowded marketplace. But how do you do that? One way to do so is via brand photos. Photography can help you represent yourself to the world in a way that’s positive, genuine and, most importantly, unique to your business. After all, you and your business are more than a logo.  You as the business owner are the face of your business. It’s important to have a visual brand that presents you in the best light, with an up-to-date look that you feel fabulous about. Needless to say, how a brand is perceived affects its success! Our guest in this episode spends just as much time identifying your brand as she does behind the camera. Stephanie Simpson, owner of branding photography company Simpson Portraits, has years of experience in marketing, image making, and visual storytelling. That combination of skills makes her uniquely qualified to help you to build your business and your brand. Stephanie helps people feel good about themselves. She can see the real you inside and helps bring that to life. Many of her clients are uncomfortable being in front of the camera, but Stephanie guides them through every pose, expression, and mood to shape a cohesive brand story.

Personal branding used to include nothing more than a simple business card with your name on it. But with the development of social media and an increasingly individualized society, the brand you build around yourself is perhaps the single most important way to stand out in your spheres of influence. If you’re interested in becoming a leader in your field or landing your dream job, you need to set up and maintain a digital presence and in person presentation that tells people who you are and why you’re special. But for some reason, many of us aren’t comfortable with developing our personal brand. For some, especially for beginner entrepreneurs, it could feel forced. Or some don’t want to put themselves out there. Or they feel like they’re selling out. What exactly is personal branding and how do you establish an awesome personal brand?   Our guest in this episode, JuliAnn Stitick, is a Personal Brand Strategist with over 22 years of experience working with trusted brands such as Lexus, Nordstrom, Disney, LAPD, Kaiser Permanente and Caruso Affiliated . Her expertise in helping her clients connect with their audience has also attracted notable Oscar and Golden Globe winning clients.

It doesn’t matter what products or services you offer. In this age of countless options, being able to differentiate yourself from your competitors and position yourself as the person or business most suited to serve them is vital to your success. The secret to getting noticed is authority. When you have authority, people will pay attention. When you are perceived as an expert in your industry, people will naturally want to work with you. They will seek you out instead of you chasing them. Our guest in this episode talks about the importance of first and foremost establishing yourself to be an authority figure in your industry rather than focusing on generating leads and converting those prospects into clients. Weston Lyon is the author of 19 books and one of the only authors to ever write nine books in eleven months. Weston also founded Plug & Play Publishing, a Pittsburgh-based authority-positioning company that teaches coaches, consultants, speakers, and other education-based service providers how to write a book to grow their business.

Lacking the “grit”. Silencing the inner critic. Procrastination. Beginner entrepreneurs are very much guilty of these self-sabotaging roadblocks that drive them further away from their goal of thriving in their business. You may not be aware of it but some of those are inherited roadblocks and patterns that once recognized and released will lead to awakening of your life. Our guest in this episode is an intuitive life coach and transformational energy healer. Lisa Thomas has had the privilege of working with talented people from all walks of life. She empowers individuals to reach their full potential by removing inherited emotional blocks such as fear of success, fear of failure, anxiety, procrastination, fear of public speaking, false money beliefs, relationship drama and business stagnation. Lisa's expertise in removing inherited patterns within the epigenetics empowers people to get their gifts, talents and bright ideas out into the world, confidently and in alignment with their Soul's purpose.

The strengths approach says that when it comes to developing people, there is more to be gained by building on their existing strengths than on trying to correct or make  good their weaknesses.    Too many people focus on fixing what's "wrong" with themselves, instead of appreciating and leveraging the unique, innate talents they already possess.   Our guest in this episode, Bea Roper, is a coach who uses the  power of CliftonStrengths.

Have you heard of the adage that says, “Leaders aren't trained, they're developed”?  This is a subtle yet very important distinction lost on many.

He developed and continues to refine the several programs now being taught at GrassFire and has been teaching leadership development in various roles since 2009.

In last week’s episode, we talked about tithing and how doing so can actually lead you to a six-figure income. This week, returning guest Michael Holmes, founder of tithehacker.org, shares with us the stories, patterns, and strategies employed by wealth Christian entrepreneurs and how everyday business owners like us can learn from those habits.  

An old saying goes, “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give”. But what if you are told that you do not just give, but to give a percentage of what you are actually earning? The first ten percent, to be specific. This is called tithing. When it comes to the topic of tithing, many Christians want to rationalize. For those who find themselves in financial trouble, tithing doesn’t make sense from an economic standpoint. One person who found himself questioning the Bible teaching of tithing led him to an experiment that changed the course of his life.   Michael Holmes, the founder of tithehacker.org, shares how a ”tithing experiment” took him from unemployed, broke, and in debt to a six-figure income in a matter of 2 years. Check out Part 2 of his interview here.

Nobody plans to get sick, but the number one reason businesses get put up for sale is a health scare suffered by the owner.  Illness of the owner or another crisis can lead the owner to sell the business only getting pennies on the dollar.  Small business owners have to manage their funds to stay in business.  With the daily challenges of making a business work, putting plans in place to protect the company and owner from potentially fatal events in the future often is not a current-day financial priority.
