Do you know people have a built-in radar for when work is about to start… and that’s exactly when they vanish? At home, it can be funny. In the marketplace, it can slowly wreck a team’s culture. Today is the 10th day of the month. Our focus is Proverbs 10:5

In the last meeting you were in, did you think about others in the room or on the video conference? Did you think: What kind of morning did they have? Did they leave a house full of chaos? Could they be carrying silent burdens—debt, divorce, depression? Did you consider that they just needed someone to see them, not as a job title, but as a human being?

That’s the invitation of Proverbs 8—to see with wisdom and serve with intention.

Today, we’re in Proverbs 8:1-4 because it’s the 8th day of the month.

Proverbs 7 hits hard.

It’s the kind of chapter that makes you sit up straight—and not just because it deals with lust. The entire chapter is a warning. A red flag. A flashing neon sign: Don’t get seduced. But this isn’t just about adultery.

In the marketplace, seduction looks like discounts that violate your values, customers who care more about price than partnership, and shortcuts that steal integrity one transaction at a time. Today, we’re in Proverbs 7:21-23 because it’s the 7th day of the month.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding…”Proverbs 3:5–7

There’s a difference between using what you’ve learned and depending on it.

In today’s episode, I share a personal story from early in my sales career—where I leaned more on training than trust. It worked for a while… until it didn’t.

If you’ve ever relied on certifications, programs, or talent alone, this one will challenge you to reframe how you use your skills to serve others through the lens of Proverbs 3:5-7

Customer Success Code: “Training gives us tools. Trust gives us direction.”

Have you ever caught yourself in a loop of negative thoughts? You know what I’m talking about—that digital loop that keeps whispering: “You’re behind. You blew it. You’ll never catch up.” Zig Ziglar had a name for that. He called it “Stinking Thinking.”And if you’ve been in the marketplace long enough, you’ve probably had a few rounds with it yourself. But what if we flipped the script?

What if we started each day with righteous thinking instead? Our time together today is Proverbs 2:6-8 because it’s the 2nd day of the month.

Let’s start with a thought-provoking question: Does the way you live truly reflect what you believe? It’s a question that can make us pause and reflect. Talking about our beliefs is simple, but living by them, especially when times get tough- whether it’s dealing with a difficult customer, facing a tough quota, or making sacrifices- shows our genuine commitment. Remember, it’s in these moments that our true character shines through.

Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.” – Proverbs 31:30 (ESV)

We’re all wearing a sign today—whether we realize it or not. The question is: does it invite people in, or push them away?

Billboards don’t just sit along the roadside anymore—they flash, rotate, and compete for our attention. But in a way, we’re all walking billboards, silently communicating who we are and what we value. In this episode, we’ll talk about the signs we wear in business and life—and how they can either draw people toward us or send them running the other way.

We all like to think we make decisions based on wisdom and principle. But when ego, pressure, and outside voices get louder than God’s, even seasoned leaders can stumble.

Proverbs 28:26 — When the Trinity of Me, Myself, and I Takes Over

“Whoever trusts in his own mind is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered.” — Proverbs 28:26

This verse stings because I’ve lived it. And the cost wasn’t just professional—it was relational. Proverbs 28:26 warns against trusting in our own mind, and in this episode, I share a leadership decision I wish I could take back, the damage it caused, and how God’s wisdom—not ego—is the only true path to integrity.
