What does it stir in you when your plans get disrupted?
Do you bristle? Feel frustrated?
I do too sometimes.
We’re told to guard our time, to chase “deep work” and optimize every hour. And sure, there’s value in that.
But gosh—it’s also exhausting.
Exhausting to always be guarding.
Disheartening to feel like everyone else is crushing it while you’re drowning in notifications and interruptions.
In this clip from my conversation with [@WhitneyHooper], we talked about how our attention is something we’re called to steward, not just protect.
That maybe disruption isn’t a threat—but an invitation.
And maybe the way we respond reveals more than we realize.
🎙️A final clip from my conversation with Marcus Schaller on his podcast
Selling isn’t just about getting over the fear of rejection. It’s about unpacking why you resist it in the first place. Often, it’s not fear—it’s fuzziness. Not knowing what to say, or how to communicate your value clearly, creates anxiety. If that sounds familiar, this one’s for you.
Too often, sales gets framed as something pushy or manipulative.
But if what you’re offering is actually helpful—if it solves a real problem—then not selling it isn’t humility… it’s withholding.
In this podcast clip, I share a mindset shift that hit me hard:
👉 Selling is an act of service.
When done right, it’s not about "taking money." It's about extending generosity—through solutions, support, and transformation.
And what I realized? The thing holding me back wasn’t strategy. It was discomfort with outreach.
How do you view sales: a necessary evil or a generous act?
We’ve all felt it — the cold pitch, the pushy message, the sense that someone’s just trying to “close.”
But real sales? It’s about serving.
When done right, selling is an act of generosity — a way to create value, build trust, and help someone move forward.

“What do you do?”
If that question makes you sweat, try this: instead of describing everything you do, talk about the problems you solve for a specific person.
Example: “I help small business owners cut expenses by 25% so they can grow faster.” Clear, relevant, memorable.

That decision you regret? That opportunity that didn’t pan out? That relationship or project that fell flat?
It’s not the end of the story.
The beauty of grace—financially, personally, and spiritually—is that there’s always a next note. And sometimes, that next note can reinterpret the one before it. This isn’t just hopeful—it’s how God works.
Keep playing. The story’s not over.

What if the “mistakes” you’ve made in business or finances weren’t actually mistakes—but setups for the next right note?
This clip from Miles Davis is more than a jazz anecdote—it’s a reminder that the note after the mistake is what really matters. That’s true for your portfolio, your business, and your walk with God. Small, steady decisions over time—that’s where the change is made.
“I used to hate selling—until I saw it as service.”
Sales isn’t about being pushy. It’s about showing up with generosity and conviction. If you know what you offer can help someone, you have a moral obligation to share it. For financial advisors, coaches, or any mission-driven entrepreneur: embrace the mindset shift.
You’ve read the books. You’ve put in the reps. You know your stuff.
So… why does it still feel like you’re not quite there yet?
Imposter syndrome doesn’t always come from inexperience —
Sometimes it grows the deeper we go.
In this clip, we talk about the quiet ways self-doubt shows up, especially for people in fields where expertise is expected. And why, most of the time, the people you’re worried about impressing already think you’re the expert. It’s not about dumbing things down—it’s about bridging the gap in a way that actually connects.
Underpricing is a silent business killer. If you never raise your rates, you're cutting yourself short. Here’s why (and how) to price with confidence.

Many business owners reinvest everything back into their business. But at what cost? Here’s why you need to start paying yourself sooner.
