What does it look like to follow God while building at the edge of innovation?

In this episode, we sit down with Andy Dickson—entrepreneur, venture builder, and leader in nanotechnology—to talk about faith, endurance, and long-term vision.

Andy shares his journey from early days at CompuServe to launching companies like SmartPaint, Nanotherm, and now leading Novara.

We dive into:

  • His faith journey and spiritual growth 
  • The challenges of pioneering new technology 
  • Lessons learned in seasons of waiting 
  • How personal trials reshaped his priorities 
  • Why faith-based relationships matter in business 
  • Where nanotechnology is heading in the future 

This is a conversation about resilience, perspective, and trusting God when the path isn’t clear.
