What’s the point of building a business if it costs you your marriage, your joy, or your sense of self?

This week on the podcast, I sat down with two longtime friends - Dave Charlson ("King of Cat Litter" from the story I share in chapter 1 of God With You at Work) and Blair Reynolds, who are on a mission to help entrepreneurs grow emotionally healthy. These guys don’t just coach; they’ve walked through the fire of burnout, breakdown, and business identity loss… and come out the other side with tools that actually work.

Their message is clear:
1. You don’t need to sacrifice yourself or your family to succeed.
2. There is a better way - one that starts with rediscovering who God made you to be.

If you’ve felt disconnected, stuck in performance, or simply overwhelmed… this conversation will speak straight to your heart.

  • Top Symptoms You’re Not Okay
  • Why “strategy” won’t fix identity wounds
  • What happens when you find emotional safety + get honest
  • Real stories of breakthrough from clients like Mike Busby (CMA Album of the Year)

Mentoring Young Entrepreneurs with God
A student was recently asked what kind of life he wanted to live. His answer was one word: “Interruptible.” That response came after spending time around Nick and Molly Pastermack, entrepreneurs and Entrepreneurs in Residence at Taylor University, who have intentionally made room in their lives for students, conversations, meals, and mentorship. One of the biggest takeaways from this conversati...
How to Read the Bible as a Business Leader
Most business leaders don’t have a belief problem. They have a “what’s actually leading me” problem. You say Jesus is at the center. You say your business is Kingdom-driven. But if the Word of God isn’t shaping your daily decisions… something else is That’s not a rebuke. That’s clarity. There’s a growing hunger right now for truth. People are leaning back toward the Bible. They’re curious again...
