What if everything you've been taught about building wealth is wrong? Ryan D Lee shares how he walked away from a six-figure corporate salary after just four years by implementing a financial strategy that bypasses Wall Street entirely. His journey began during the 2008 financial crisis when he lost nearly 80% of his savings and almost lost his family, forcing him to question the traditional path to financial security.

The breakthrough came when Ryan discovered two transformative books: "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki and "Creating Wealth" by Robert Allen. These works challenged his fundamental understanding of money, introducing concepts that seemed offensive at first glance—"savers are losers" and "debt is money." Yet as he implemented these principles through what he now calls the "Passive Income Machine," Ryan achieved what most consider impossible: complete financial freedom in less than half a decade.

Ryan reveals the three core principles that drive his wealth-building strategy. First, measure financial success by the income your assets produce, not their total value. Second, choose assets that deliver tax-advantaged income streams rather than tax-deferred growth. Third, leverage is the most powerful tool in finance—not consumer debt that mortgages your future, but strategic debt that acquires assets that pay for themselves. This framework has helped countless people escape the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle and build true financial independence.

The conversation takes a powerful turn when Ryan discusses the concept of honor and authentic living. By acknowledging and honoring his mentors, Ryan built relationships that led to co-authoring a book with Robert Kiyosaki and Robert Allen—the very authors who transformed his financial thinking. He emphasizes that true freedom comes from authentically using your God-given talents in service to others, creating a multiplicative effect that benefits everyone involved.

With inflation squeezing household budgets and economic uncertainty rising, Ryan's message is more urgent than ever: financial education is the dividing line between those being crushed by economic forces and those who profit from them. As he powerfully states, "Financial freedom is your obligation"—not just a goal, but a responsibility to create options that allow you to pursue your purpose without financial constraints.

Have you ever wondered what happens when you finally stop living for everyone else and start becoming who you're truly meant to be? Kelly Chase, fresh from celebrating her 40th birthday, takes us on a raw and revealing journey through self-discovery, personal power, and finding authentic purpose in this captivating conversation.

Kelly opens up about her recent solo wellness retreat in Mexico, where she confronted important truths about her relationships, business, and spiritual journey. "For so long I didn't know who I really was," she admits, describing her 20s and early 30s as running on a hamster wheel in autopilot. This turning point led her to leave corporate life in 2017 to pursue coaching full-time, starting a personal development journey that transformed her relationship with herself.

The conversation explores Kelly's evolving spiritual connection, including her recent purchase of her first Bible, and how she's learning to trust that everything is working out as it should. Ken shares wisdom from his years as a pastor, creating a beautiful dialogue about finding faith on your own terms. Their discussion on relationships reveals powerful insights about self-worth and choosing partners who fully show up, summarized perfectly when Kelly references the quote: "Your right fit person is not the person you have to beg to choose."

Perhaps most compelling is their exploration of authenticity in business and online presence. Kelly candidly discusses her journey as a holistic health coach who transitioned to helping other female entrepreneurs with mindset and business strategy. She acknowledges the limiting beliefs that have sometimes held her back—fear of being seen, fear of success—while sharing practical advice for women wanting to make an impact: "Go live on Instagram or do something that scares the absolute hell out of you."

The episode brilliantly demonstrates how our struggles often become our greatest teaching tools. As Kelly puts it, "Every person you meet is a gift and a lesson." Whether you're navigating relationships, building a business, or simply trying to show up more authentically in your life, this conversation offers wisdom, encouragement, and the permission to embrace your journey—messy parts and all.

Travis Winfield takes us on a powerful journey from his 24-year Navy career to becoming a successful real estate entrepreneur with a mission to revolutionize how military families experience real estate transactions nationwide.

The conversation begins with raw honesty as Travis shares the profound impact of traumatic experiences during his military service, including losing a sailor under his command and the subsequent suicide of his commanding officer. These events shaped his understanding of mental health challenges facing veterans—a critical issue with 22 military members taking their lives daily. His vulnerability in discussing his PTSD and healing journey provides rare insight into the unseen battles many veterans face after service.

Travis's entrepreneurial path perfectly illustrates the ancient wisdom "he who chases two rabbits catches none." After attempting to juggle multiple businesses simultaneously—a real estate team, brewery ownership, non-profit leadership—he experienced complete burnout compounded by personal losses. This breaking point became the catalyst for his most important business lesson: the power of singular focus.

The heart of our conversation centers on Travis's visionary creation—Military Operator Real Estate (MORE)—addressing a critical gap in the veteran experience. While military-focused financial institutions like USAA command 92% market share among veterans, no trusted national brand exists in real estate. MORE's mission creates a network of military-affiliated agents who understand the unique challenges of military life, while also tackling employment challenges for military spouses and transitioning service members through innovative GI Bill-approved training programs.

Travis's story brilliantly demonstrates how entrepreneurship can solve systemic problems while creating sustainable business models. Whether you're a veteran considering your next chapter, an entrepreneur seeking clarity, or simply someone who appreciates stories of reinvention with purpose, this conversation will leave you inspired to find the place where your experience, passion and opportunity intersect.

Ever wonder how some entrepreneurs manage multiple successful businesses while maintaining balance in their lives? Sandy Moll, who runs five thriving companies with her husband while working just 15 hours a week, reveals her secrets in this transformative conversation.

Sandy shares her journey from being an overwhelmed single mother entrepreneur to discovering the power of stillness in business leadership. "Be still and know that I am God" (Psalms 46:10) became her guiding principle, transforming not just her spiritual life but her entire approach to entrepreneurship. After what she calls a "business plan burning party" where she abandoned conventional wisdom to follow divine guidance, her company has consistently grown 25% annually—while she works fewer hours.

The heart of Sandy's approach lies in creating clear, simple systems that solve real problems for clients. Rather than complex technological solutions, her team focuses on documented processes that prioritize communication and accountability. Her client touchpoint system ensures regular contact through various team members, yet remains flexible enough to accommodate individual preferences. This balance between systematic processes and personalized service forms the foundation of her business model.

Most powerfully, Sandy challenges the entrepreneurial narrative that success requires constant hustle. "God doesn't reward hustle; God rewards faithful management," as host Ken Jocelyn summarizes. This perspective shift—from frantic activity to intentional, purpose-driven leadership—creates space for both business growth and personal fulfillment.

Whether you're struggling to manage one business or dreaming of expanding your entrepreneurial portfolio, Sandy's insights on faith, clarity, and systems thinking offer a refreshing alternative to burnout culture. Tune in to discover how stillness might be the missing ingredient in your business strategy.

The way we view money fundamentally shapes our business decisions and outcomes. For faith-based entrepreneurs, understanding that we don't face a money problem but a management problem transforms everything about our approach to finances.

When I realized that God doesn't reward hustle but instead rewards faithful management, it completely shifted my perspective as a business owner. Luke 16:10 tells us "whoever can be trusted with little can also be trusted with very much" – a principle that has guided our company to seven-figure growth in just three years.

This episode unpacks four critical pillars of financial stewardship: creating and sticking to a budget, achieving targets before their scheduled time, tracking your spending daily, and maintaining consistent cash reserves. Each practice isn't just good business sense; it's biblical wisdom applied to entrepreneurship.

The story of how tracking our numbers transformed our business is particularly powerful. As a visionary, I initially resisted detailed financial tracking until a friend reminded me that I would ultimately give account to God for how I stewarded what He entrusted to me. After seven months of building our daily cash tracking system, I now review our exact financial position every morning – a practice that has revolutionized our decision-making.

Meet Shane Seo, arguably Atlanta's most quietly successful real estate investor, who transformed from a self-described "nerdy" introvert into a multimillion-dollar property mogul—all while maintaining his humble demeanor and servant's heart.

This captivating conversation reveals how Shane's background in Taekwondo (his father was one of the first Koreans to bring the martial art to America) instilled the discipline and "blind confidence" that eventually fueled his real estate success. Despite taking five frustrating years to close his first property deal, Shane persevered through rejection and uncertainty, eventually discovering creative financing strategies that changed everything. Today, his portfolio spans single-family homes, multifamily properties, commercial buildings, car washes, and laundromats—all acquired with minimal or no money down through innovative win-win-win approaches.

Perhaps most fascinating is Shane's perspective on mentorship and relationships. He shares the remarkable story of investing $100,000 for just four hours with Grant Cardone, which yielded an $888,000 return within three months. "The size of your dreams will always be equal to the size of the rooms that you're in," Ken notes, a philosophy Shane has embraced by strategically positioning himself among successful entrepreneurs despite his natural introversion.

For aspiring investors, Shane offers accessible entry points through his educational platforms, while candidly discussing the challenges that come with success—from managing time demands to maintaining authentic relationships. Throughout the episode, his genuine desire to serve others shines through, exemplifying his belief that true success comes from creating value for everyone involved.

What happens when a firefighter-paramedic witnesses the failures of our healthcare system firsthand? For Sam Tejada, it sparked a revolution that's transforming wellness across America.

Sam's story begins as the youngest child of Dominican immigrants who settled in Wisconsin, where his parents worked tirelessly as architects to provide opportunities for their children. From this foundation of determination, Sam developed both a servant's heart and an entrepreneurial spirit that would later define his career.

After becoming a firefighter-paramedic at just 20 years old, Sam spent 12 years responding to emergency calls, where he noticed a disturbing pattern: patients returning to the hospital with worsening conditions despite multiple medications and doctor visits. "I became a product to our broken medical system and it was eating me alive," Sam reveals, explaining how this realization collided with his exposure to functional medicine approaches that were actually changing lives.

With just $500 and a borrowed room in a doctor's office, Sam launched Liquivita Wellness Centers while still working full-time as a firefighter. His strategic approach minimized overhead costs while maximizing customer acquisition, allowing him to bootstrap the business entirely from its humble beginnings to what has now become 40 franchise locations nationwide.

Perhaps most revolutionary is Sam's approach to competition. Rather than viewing other wellness providers as rivals, he built relationships with them, even giving them chapters in his book "How to Win in Modern Wellness." This collaboration-over-competition philosophy stems from his understanding that transforming healthcare requires a united front: "When I have all of my competitors chanting the same thing that I'm chanting, we're going to change the course of medicine."

Throughout his journey, faith has been Sam's anchor. From processing trauma as a paramedic to making major business decisions, his relationship with God provides guidance and purpose. This spiritual foundation reinforces his mission to help others take control of their health through the "Make America Healthy Again" movement.

What if the financial stress you're experiencing isn't actually a money problem at all? The root issue many faith-based entrepreneurs face isn't about cash flow or revenue—it's about stewardship.

This episode challenges the common belief that God promotes hustle. Contrary to popular entrepreneurial thinking, God doesn't reward constant motion and frantic activity. He rewards faithful management of what He's already entrusted to you. Drawing from the parable of the talents in Matthew 25, we explore how stewardship proves to God that we're ready for more, and how this shift in perspective can transform not only your finances but your entire approach to business.

Most entrepreneurs don't need more income—they need clarity, accountability, and systems. We break down three distinct money mindsets: fear-based (avoiding accountability), control-based (clenching resources tightly), and faith-based (trusting God's guidance for your resources). Through powerful real-life examples of divine appointments and generous giving, you'll see how faithful stewardship opens doors to multiplication and impact.

The episode provides a practical stewardship operating system with three key components: knowing exactly what's going in and out financially, conducting weekly financial reviews, and taking ownership of how you're stewarding what God has entrusted to you. Plus, two critical questions to help you identify areas where your stewardship needs improvement.

Whether you're struggling with financial anxiety or simply looking to honor God more faithfully with your business resources, this episode will equip you with both the mindset shift and practical tools needed to move from stress to structure in your financial stewardship journey. Transform your approach to money management and watch as God multiplies not just your resources, but your impact.

What if the secret to transforming your life isn't found in radical changes or overnight success stories, but in the power of small, consistent actions? 

In this episode of As the Leader Grows, I'm excited to share the philosophy that helped me lose nearly 100 pounds of body fat and build a thriving business ecosystem - "incremental, not monumental." This powerful concept reminds us that small, daily, disciplined decisions over time always equal monumental results.

Drawing from my personal health journey that began five years ago when I weighed over 300 pounds, I reveal how this mindset shift has become the cornerstone of my success. You'll discover my exact morning routine that sets each day up for success - from worship and Bible study to intentional goal-setting and affirmations that rewire your thinking.

I share the surprising practice that's been fundamental to my success: writing down my goals twice daily, which means I'm focusing on my vision at least 600 times each year. This level of consistency is what separates those who achieve their dreams from those who merely wish for change.

Whether you're struggling with health challenges, building a business, or seeking personal growth, this episode will equip you with practical wisdom to implement the power of incremental habits in your own life. Your potential, purpose, influence, and impact are hiding on the other side of your consistency.

Pastor Tim Price's journey from addiction to purpose unfolds as a testament to transformation through faith and perseverance. After finding his identity in sports during his youth, Tim faced an identity crisis when that chapter closed, leading him down a path of substance abuse despite his Christian upbringing. Everything changed after a near-fatal accident when he crashed his car in front of his parents' home while driving blackout drunk.

Faced with jail time or rehabilitation, Tim chose recovery at No Longer Bound, a Christ-centered program that challenged him to confront his beliefs and behaviors. Six months in, he experienced a profound spiritual revelation that God had been present with him even in his darkest moments of addiction. This awakening sparked complete transformation as Tim embraced the program fully, eventually becoming a leader despite being the youngest participant.

Twenty years sober and nineteen years into ministry, Tim now serves as campus pastor at Free Chapel Alpharetta. His new book "Recovery to Destiny" outlines seven steps to help others reach their God-given potential, including understanding identity in Christ, addressing belief systems, experiencing breakthrough, living intentionally, and going "all in" for God's purpose. Tim emphasizes true identity as the foundation for everything else, with servant leadership being his personal game-changer.

This powerful conversation reveals how pain births purpose when surrendered to God. Tim's message resonates with crystal clarity: "Step into the future God has for you." Whether you're struggling with addiction, searching for purpose, or supporting someone on their journey, this episode offers hope through practical wisdom and lived experience.
