Episode 22: From Startup to Social Impact — Shawn Whitson on Growing ActsSocial and His New Podcast
Red House Productions | Episode 22: "From Startup to Social Impact — Shawn Whitson on Building ActsSocial and Launching a Purpose-Driven Podcast"
Think you need a perfect plan before you start podcasting? Think again.
In today's episode, Heidi Kay Begay sits down with Shawn Whitson, founder of ActsSocial—a faith-driven social media platform with a purpose. Shawn shares how a Holy Spirit prompting led him to create ActsSocial, the hurdles his team faced in building a platform from scratch, and why podcasting became an essential extension of his mission.
You'll hear:
- How Shawn turned a vision into a global platform serving thousands in just months
- The surprising way ActsSocial grew an email list of 130,000 before launch
- Why "starting backwards" with a podcast can actually accelerate growth
- The importance of transparency, storytelling, and faith in building authentic communities
- Practical advice for podcasters struggling with fear, imposter syndrome, or where to begin
This conversation is equal parts entrepreneurial wisdom and spiritual encouragement. Whether you're a podcaster, business owner, or creative, you'll walk away with actionable insights and the courage to start—even when you don't have all the details figured out.

Your Freebie:
If your sponsor says yes, amazing—but now what? Deliverables, timelines, payments… it all needs to be clear if you want the relationship to last. That's where the Contract Confidence Kit helps.
Inside you'll find a simple one-page sponsorship agreement and guidance on when your pitch deck alone is enough. No guesswork, no panic—just confidence. But hurry, this free kit disappears at the end of September. Use the link in the show notes to download your copy today.
