*** Guest on Business as Mission (BAM) Canada ***

What makes someone an entrepreneur? Is it a lengthy resume, a heavy academic record, a successful business? Or does being an entrepreneur mean something else entirely...

Dylan Gallagher, Founder of OndeWork, has been exploring what it means to be an entrepreneur ever since he was a kid. With years of youthful exploration and practical experience in the business world, Gallagher has developed a successful people-driven company that is built on a foundation of trust in God. Through this business, God has shown him what it means to be an entrepreneur and a Kingdom-seeker.

What happens when you stop being the operator and start being the owner—but your systems haven’t caught up? This episode gets brutally honest about the emotional weight of building a business that actually works without you.

I share:

What the E-Myth got right (and what it means today)

Why relying on “good people” is a leadership failure

The danger of letting memory replace systems

Why we’re rebuilding our entire field mobilization process from scratch

If you're trying to build something bigger than yourself—something sustainable, repeatable, and people-first—this one is for you.

If Canada were a business, half the team would be fired. In this episode, I unpack the June wage and productivity report — and what it reveals about the economy, leadership, and how business owners like us can (and must) respond differently. I share what I’m doing inside my company to avoid the same traps and why capital allocation — not more hiring — might be your most important decision right now.

Debt doesn’t just limit your cash—it limits your leadership. In today’s episode, I unpack why the wrong kind of debt is a silent killer in your business. From biblical wisdom to practical business strategy, I explore what it means to borrow like a steward, not a slave. If you’re carrying debt that isn’t creating value, it’s costing more than you think. Here’s how to change that—so you can lead in freedom again.

The U.S. won’t cut its debt. Your business shouldn’t either. In this episode, I explain why “cutting your way to profitability” is a lie—and how real entrepreneurs grow their way out of financial stress. From replacing overpriced software to flipping payroll into performance pay, I share what worked for us—and what scripture says about stewardship, cash flow, and choosing which master you serve. If you’ve hit the edge, this one’s for you.

In today’s episode, I explain why I’ve stopped trying to escape Canada—and started building better within it. I explore what it means to personify countries, what Elon Musk’s resignation from public influence really teaches us, and why I’m choosing to double down on people when the economy feels like it’s failing. I’m still going to the U.S. and Spain. But Canada? Maybe it’s not a lost cause—if we build the future ourselves.

In today’s episode, I break down why Canada’s economy mirrors a badly run business—low productivity, no vision, and zero incentive to improve. From falling capital investment to a government acting more like a goalie than a leader, it’s clear why entrepreneurs are hesitant to grow here. I unpack the numbers, the missed opportunities, and the real-world options forward—including what we’re doing in the U.S. and Spain instead. If you're a builder, this one’s for you.

Hiring has stalled. Capital investment is frozen. Inflation is looming. So what now? In this episode, I share how we’re responding inside our company—using AI, doubling down on partnerships, and locking in cost controls. I explain why waiting is the worst strategy during uncertainty, and how to take the punch, make the pivot, and keep building when others freeze. This is what real leadership looks like when the economy shifts.

This week, I explore a question every entrepreneur must face: what is your highest and best use? Inspired by Elon Musk’s pivot back to the private sector, I reflect on how changing environments—from Canada to Spain to the U.S.—are shaping where and how I want to lead. If your margins are tight, the stress is mounting, and you feel the pull toward purpose, this episode is for you. It’s not about leaving—it’s about building where you’re most needed.
