Called Leaders! I am thrilled to be back for this week’s episode. We just wrapped up our Called to Illuminate Conference in Los Angeles this past Friday and Saturday and we had a powerful time filled with enlightening sessions, stellar speakers, and impactful networking.

This week, I want to share some things that may be causing you to lose money if you’re not doing them. Proverbs 27 talks about the importance of knowing the state of your flocks. In business, no matter how successful your enterprise may be, it’s important to know the condition of your business and create structure that allows you to have longevity.

Family, if you weren’t able to make it to The Called, I have some exciting news for you. We’ll have a replay available soon and we’ll be sure to share the details with you as soon as they’re available. Don’t forget to share, rate, and review today’s episode.

In business, when you are trying to scale, people will often say that it's not just about what you know, but who you know. However, adopting this mindset can sometimes lead to a sense of desperation that is easily spotted by successful leaders. As we continue our series, "Business Wisdom Through the Scriptures," I want to pose to you this question: "Is Your Hunger Working Against You?"

In today's episode, we'll delve into Proverbs 23:1-4. These verses advise us to be wise in our interactions with influential people, and to not let our being “hungry” get the best of us. While it's imperative to assess the value of potential investors or business partners at the table, it's equally important for us to remember our personal value to not appear desperate in the room. This episode will teach you the dos and don’ts of doing business with influential people.

Also — Called Family, this Friday and Saturday, the Called to Illuminate conference in Los Angeles is happening, and as of now there are only a few seats left!

As leaders, each day of the week holds a different meaning for us all. Mondays typically motivate us to start the week strong and full of productivity, while Fridays may be a bit slower as many of us begin to prepare for a weekend of events or business travel. Regardless of the day, every day carries a weight of its own. However, there is one day that is most profitable when utilized correctly and consistently. Today, I'll provide more insight into the day I'm referring to and explain how beneficial it can be when you prioritize it weekly.

Family, we are just weeks away from Called to Illuminate! I'm excited to announce that we have partnered with Microsoft to bring you some amazing giveaways and resources.

Called Family, we are back for Week 2 of our new series, "Business Wisdom Through the Scripture." In business and life, we're often encouraged to never settle and always pursue what we want. While I firmly believe we should always be in pursuit of our dreams, there are instances when settling with your opponent can actually work in our favor.

This week, we'll be discussing the topic "Knowing When to Settle." Agreeing with your adversary is not something we often hear about in today's culture, but the Bible encourages us to settle things quickly. This valuable lesson is one that I've learned both the easy way and the hard way, so today, I want to share some tips and tools to help prevent you from falling into a similar situation.

If you're enjoying this series and would like more tips and tools to succeed in life and business, I encourage you to join us on May 17th & 18th in Los Angeles for The Called Conference. It's going to be a phenomenal time, and I don't want you to miss out. At the end of this episode, I’ll be sharing instructions for special pricing exclusively for Called listeners.

I'll be honest - the past few weeks have been challenging, and I'll dive deeper into that in this episode. However, I have come to realize that reaching new dimensions requires us to go through a period of demolition. Because at the end of it all, the breakdown makes us broader and more effective in every area of life. I want you to thrive in your businesses and organizations. But more importantly, I want you to succeed in becoming whole in every aspect of your life.

This week, I decided to flip the script and do things a bit differently. Normally, I discuss topics surrounding growth in leadership or ways to scale your business, but today might be the most vulnerable episode I've released to date. We discuss what it means to be CALLED to our respective spheres of influence, but if you don't get anything else, I want you to be Called to Wholeness.

Family, I'll be taking a few weeks to recharge to come back with fresh content. In the meantime, I encourage you to listen to some of the episodes you may have missed or revisit the ones that impacted you. Also, don't forget to register for Called to Illuminate which will take place in Los Angeles on May 17th & 18th.

Called Family! As Valentine's Day approaches, I wanted to explore an age-old question - Do Love and Business Mix? This week, we'll rewind back to last year's Called Conference where I sat down with my bride, my best friend, and my business partner Sarah Jakes Roberts, as we discussed the dance of doing business with your partner.

We'll talk about our experience balancing our personalities, respecting our business boundaries, and supporting each other to succeed in partnership. Regardless of whether you're in a romantic partnership or otherwise, as you apply these principles you will begin to see a significant impact on the success of your organization or business.
