In this episode, Jason sits down with Rusty Lumpkin, president and designer at Three Nail Games, a faith-driven board game company built from scratch in rural Indiana. Rusty shares how he balanced teaching chemistry and physics, farming, youth ministry, and raising six kids while pursuing his dream of publishing original games.
