In this episode of Founders Future, with host Nick Cicciari, he welcomes Bryre & Jeff, the founders of Union with God, a faith-centered brand providing relationship coaching for individuals and couples. They shares the powerful motivation behind their work, recounting a near-death experience in 2011 where, while struggling with a chronic autoimmune disease and an agnostic worldview, he had a spiritual encounter that led him to find God and his life's purpose. The couple eventually combined their separate coaching endeavors into a unified business after a mentor encouraged them to practice the "union with God" they preached.

They describes their ideal client as predominantly women (around 35-45) who are exhausted after having "tried everything" in life and other coaching methods—including New Age practices—and are now ready for a God-centered way of relating. The pair emphasize an approach focused on bringing people from "earning love to receiving love" and encouraging them to see the joy and light in their lives, which naturally exposes the darkness they aim to overcome. For their future, Bryre & Jeff envision speaking to millions, expanding their programs, and hosting "wilderness retreats" in nature to provide a transformative experience that moves the understanding of God's word from the head to the heart.
