    Mark Dolfini: Faith, Family, and Fixing the Business That’s Breaking You
    Sep 13 2025
    Mark Dolfini isn’t here to sell hype or preach “10X hustle.” He’s a former U.S. Marine, 4x best-selling author, and creator of the V.I.P.E.R. Framework—a simple, faith-centered system to align your life and business around what actually matters. In this interview, Mark shares his journey through burnout, financial breakdown, and identity crisis—and how he rebuilt with a Bible in one hand and a whiteboard in the other. His story and strategies will challenge you to rethink what success really means. We dive into:
    • Why many Christian entrepreneurs feel trapped in busyness and burnout
    • The power of vision, infrastructure, processes, execution, and reporting (V.I.P.E.R.)
    • How to reconnect with your family while running a thriving business
    • Why faith-driven leadership must start at home before it shows up in the office
    If you’ve ever wondered how to build a business that serves your life—instead of stealing it—this conversation will hit home.

  • From CNN to Novelist: John Dedakis on Journalism, Grief, and the Power of Storytelling

    From CNN to Novelist: John Dedakis on Journalism, Grief, and the Power of Storytelling
    Sep 13 2025
    John Dedakis spent 45 years in journalism—including 25 years at CNN, where he interviewed presidents, covered the White House, and even got tear-gassed during a riot. But behind the headlines is a personal journey marked by profound loss—losing a sister to suicide and a son to a heroin overdose.

    Out of those experiences, Dedakis has written six acclaimed political thrillers featuring his strong-willed protagonist, Lark Chadwick. His novels weave together the grit of journalism and the raw reality of grief, offering stories that are as powerful as they are personal.

    In this conversation, John opens up about:
    How journalism shaped his fiction writing
    The role grief plays in creativity and healing
    The decade-long grind to land his first publishing deal
    His second career as a writing coach and mentor

    If you’ve ever wondered how personal pain can fuel purposeful storytelling, this episode is a must-watch.

  • Designing Outdoor Sanctuaries with Steve Griggs: Luxury, Story & Function

    Designing Outdoor Sanctuaries with Steve Griggs: Luxury, Story & Function
    Sep 13 2025
    Steve Griggs has been building more than gardens for nearly 40 years — he builds stories, sanctuaries, and spaces that speak. In this episode, he pulls back the curtain on what truly separates pretty landscaping from living landscapes: engineering, plant science, personal memories, privacy, and yes — even the grit behind the beauty.

    🔍 We talk about:
    • How to design outdoor spaces that reflect who you really are (not what’s trendy)
    • The creative + technical balance: when a design needs more than just flowers and stone
    • Why privacy, storytelling, and comfort are just as important as the aesthetic
    • Real-world tips: choosing materials, working with engineers, and features most people overlook
    If you’re building or renovating your outdoor space — or just love powerful design stories — this one’s for you.
