Are you burned out at work, quietly wondering if starting a business or a new chapter is the only way to feel alive again?

In this conversation, Spencer Jones shares how chasing ego, money, and notoriety took him from a “secure” choir director job straight into rock bottom, complete with people‑pleasing, “energy vampires,” and even suicidal thoughts—and how he rebuilt with a clear, hopeful path forward.​

We unpack his powerful “cup” analogy, why self‑care doesn’t work if your cup is full of holes, and what it actually takes to repair those leaks while you wrestle with finances, fear, and tough conversations with a spouse about leaving a corporate job or teaching for entrepreneurship.

By the end, you’ll walk away with new language, a simple compass for your priorities, and practical encouragement to move toward a more joyful way of living and working—whether you stay employed, start a business, or grow the one you already have, with Spencer Jones and me, LeAnn Lyon, as your companions on this voyage Beyond the Business Plan.

Are you burned out at work, worn down by constant outrage, and wondering if it’s even possible to live unoffendable and at peace?​

In this special bonus solo episode of Beyond the Business Plan, host LeAnn Lyon steps away from strategy and goes straight into a late‑night, tear‑streaked wrestle with obedience, eternity, and what it means to refuse the “bait of Satan” and become truly unoffendable.​

LeAnn shares her own story of near‑miss moments, baptism, forgiveness, and how the fruit of the Spirit and loving your enemies can break the grip of offense, fear, and division in a world that thrives on offense and constant conflict.​

Whether you’ve walked with Jesus for years or you’re not even sure what you believe yet, this episode invites you to open your heart, ask honest questions, and consider the one decision that has eternal consequences

Listen as LeAnn Lyon gently but urgently points you back to Jesus, Scripture, and a life of unoffendable peace.

What if growing your business didn’t require sacrificing your health, your hobbies, or your joy?

In this heartfelt conversation, whole-person coach Erin DuPree shares how a decade-long cycle of hustle and burnout, illness, and overwork forced her to completely rethink what sustainable entrepreneurship actually looks like.

Explore why you can’t separate “business you” from “whole-person you,” how rest and hobbies like crochet can be powerful “active rest,” and why screens and shiny objects quietly drain creativity, money, and peace.

Erin opens up about buying and selling multiple businesses, starting gyms from scratch, navigating investors, experimenting with MLMs, and ultimately discovering that just because you can build something doesn’t mean you should.

You’ll hear practical encouragement to embrace seasons, honor your other life titles (parent, partner, friend, creator), and trust that what looked like a detour or “failure” was actually tuition for your next, more aligned venture.

If you’re a burned-out professional or an aspiring entrepreneur wondering if there’s a saner way to do business, you’ll love this conversation with Erin DuPree and LeAnn Lyon on Beyond the Business Plan.
