What happens when you leave behind 18 years in ministry to follow the call of entrepreneurship? In this episode, I sit down with Harrison Wilder, a former pastor turned corporate strategist, author, and speaker who’s helping others design lives and businesses that reflect their purpose.

Harrison opens up about the transition from serving in the church to serving in the marketplace how the same principles of leadership, faith, and service apply when building a business. We talk about discovering your true calling, building from your strengths instead of your weaknesses, and creating premium programs that actually sustain your mission.

And we dig into his upcoming book, The Life Unleashed, which challenges entrepreneurs to see their desires not as selfish ambitions but as divine signals of where they’re meant to go next.

If you’ve ever felt like your potential is sitting on the balcony, waiting for permission to move this conversation is your wake-up call.

Key Takeaways

• Your desires are divine signals pointing toward your purpose.
• Build from your strengths, not your weaknesses.
• Start premium, then build down the value ladder.
• Abundance begins with mindset, not money.
• Faith and entrepreneurship go hand in hand.
• Live the Unleashed Life and stop playing small.
