Join Mike Baer for a high-energy conversation with Herbert Severin, the new CEO of Marketplace and Development Enterprises (MDE), a pioneering professional services firm supporting the global Business as a Mission (BAM) movement. Herbert shares his powerful personal story of transitioning from traditional church ministry to the marketplace, realizing his true calling to be a minister in the business world.

Discover MDE's critical role in the BAM ecosystem, providing a "soup-to-nuts" support system for entrepreneurs and Disciple Making Employees (DMEs) in least-reached countries. Herbert explains MDE's three tiers of volunteer support—Bam Team Managers, Faculty Advisors, and Missional Mentors—who provide essential business, technical, and spiritual accountability to combat the high attrition rates and isolation faced by practitioners in the field.

Herbert lays out an exciting vision for the future, including creating scalable "BAM in a box" models and acquiring businesses to rapidly increase opportunities for called leaders. This episode is a vital call to action for anyone who senses a divine invitation to use their business skills for the Kingdom and a profound reminder that you don't have to navigate the entrepreneurial journey alone.
