If you want to make it as an entrepreneur, you need two things: crazy ideas — and to be crazy enough to believe they'll work. In this video, I share the story of how a wild, out-of-the-box idea — creating a custom Christmas album for financial advisors — turned into a $30,000 business opportunity. It started as a spark of creativity in my little music studio and grew into something that opened doors I never saw coming. Sometimes people will look at your ideas and say, "That's dumb." But that might just be the reason it works. Entrepreneurship requires faith, resilience, and the willingness to believe "why wouldn't this work?" — even when no one else does. In this video, you'll learn: - Why "crazy" ideas often lead to real success - How to turn creativity into profit - The mindset shift that keeps entrepreneurs growing - How to find people who champion your vision instead of tearing it down Takeaway: Don't bury your creative spark under doubt or fear of failure. The world needs your unique, crazy, beautiful ideas — and you're the one crazy enough to make them real.     Show Notes:   Join the Newsletter!   Want to see the live interview on video?

Can you truly build a thriving business and a thriving family at the same time? In this video, we tackle one of the toughest questions entrepreneurs, leaders, and ministry workers face: How do you succeed in your work without sacrificing the people who matter most? You'll discover the 5 keys to building both a thriving business and a thriving family: 1. Be Real — Honest conversations and setting realistic expectations. 2. Be Consistent — Following through on your word and modeling healthy boundaries. 3. Be Intentional — Proving your priorities with action, not just words. 4.

Is it wrong for Christians to want to grow their business? How do you prepare your business to last—not just survive—a recession? In this video, we're reframing the conversation. Instead of asking, "How do I avoid failure?", we're asking, "How do I build for longevity?" You'll learn a 3-part framework called MAP that will help you recession-proof your business in 2025 and beyond: M – Market Clarity: Know who you serve—today and in the future. A – Audit Often: Does your system, sale, or product still serve your 'why'? P – Purposeful Systems: Build systems that support your mission, not just your routine. Whether you're a Christian entrepreneur, ministry leader, or just tired of the hustle culture with no eternal impact—this video is for you. It's not about fear—it's about wisdom. It's not about reacting—it's about preparing. Let's build businesses that last, lead with clarity, and honor God through every decision.   Show Notes:   Want to see the live interview on YouTube?

In this episode, we are joined by Ryanne Molinari, a worship leader, organist, and pianist, who shares her unique journey of serving across two churches in Iowa. Ryanne's love for both traditional hymns and contemporary worship shines as she discusses her passion for blending these styles to honor the rich heritage of worship while embracing the call to "sing a new song."   She unpacks insights about the role of worship in cultivating unity, and gratitude. Ryanne also shares her heart behind her upcoming book, "Spirit-Filled Singing: Bearing Fruit as We Worship Together", where she explores how the fruit of the Spirit shapes worship and how worship, in turn, nurtures these fruits in the lives of believers.   Whether you love traditional hymns, modern worship, or both, this episode will inspire you to see worship as a gift to give rather than a preference to hold onto.     Show Notes:   Want the full Show Notes?
