Right now I'm in the season of life of goodbyes and new beginnings. This past weekend (at the time of this recording) my family dropped our eldest daughter off for her freshman year of college.  It may seem like this has very little to do with social media and business, I want to encourage you to embrace every moment. Life can feel that it passes us by as we're busy doing all the things. But I want to remind you, and everyone else, that even as business owners and leaders we're still doing every day life and experiencing big moments with and in our families.  And it's worth taking the time to stop and really experience them.

This podcast episode is a bit different than the content I usually put out there.  Yet, it's still true to who I am and the values I uphold in my own life and business.  Here's the hard true : we've been sold a bag of false goods.  Everywhere you look you see the message of: • 'do what feels good to you.' • 'you do you.' • 'follow your own heart.' • 'follow your own truth.' If you pay attention long enough you realize it's everywhere. However, as Christians, we're called to something different.  Let's talk about in this episode.

Christians, in general, tend to be prone to poor boundaries.  Particularly those in business, ministry or leadership roles.  We're passionate about the work that we do, many times consider it a calling, and therefore, we struggle to walk away from it.  This can have serious implications for our relationships, particularly our marriages (for those of us who are in that type of relationship). In today's episode I'm joined by Mary Whitman Ortiz as she shares two pieces of advice and the #1 problem she sees with married, christian business owners and their spouses.

It wouldn't take long to look around and know that our country is polarized on many different issues. As business owners, it can be challenging to know when to speak out and when to not.

How can we be successful in our business if we do speak out and then people don't want to follow? In today's episode, I'm encouraging you, as a 21st century business owner living in the year 2023 (or whichever year you're reading this), to earnestly seek the Lord for when to speak, what to speak, and to speak it with His grace.
