In this video, we explore a profound question:

What is the true purpose of business? 

We discuss the 'triple bottom line,' which moves beyond mere profit to encompass economic growth, social impact, and spiritual growth. This perspective challenges leaders to consider a broader definition of business success and how it integrates with corporate social responsibility. It's a reframe that can profoundly impact your business strategy.

In this conversation, you'll learn:

• The Triple Bottom Line every faith-based business owner needs to understand
• Why the most successful leaders still need a coach (even at the top)
• How Julio's darkest season in 2024 made him a better leader, husband, and father
• Why he no longer sees his employees as employees — and what he calls them instead
• The mindset shift that separates businessmen who build wealth from those who build legacy

Whether you're an entrepreneur, executive, or faith-driven leader, this conversation will challenge you to think bigger — not just about profit, but about purpose, people, and lasting impact.

What happens to your sense of self when the business slows down, the title changes, or the achievement stops?

Most leaders and business owners build their entire identity around what they do — and never realize it until everything shifts.

In this episode of the Impactful Leader Podcast, host Chris sits down with his personal mentor Tommy Thompson — life coach, teacher, and author of "Space to Breathe Again" — for an honest conversation about identity, purpose, and what it really means to lead from the inside out.

You'll discover:

→ Why "being precedes doing" — and how this changes everything for leaders

→ The difference between your identity and your assignment

→ How to find your personal purpose statement (your North Star)

→ What integrity really means for a business owner or leader

→ The "One Thing" framework that replaces 20 goals with lasting change

→ Why true confidence comes from who you are, not what you achieve

Whether you're a business owner, entrepreneur, executive, or leader in any capacity — this conversation will challenge you to stop defining yourself by your performance and start living from a foundation that cannot be shaken.

A stranger pulled him aside and said, "If you're not careful, you're going to turn into me." 

That one moment changed everything. Paul Olsen went from a poor kid in South Jersey to a business executive — and this is the leadership story nobody talks about.

Paul Olsen is the Chief Innovator at So Good Team, an AI optimization company helping local businesses stay visible in the age of Google AI Search. But before all that? He was a plumber's son learning to lead the hard way — one wake-up call at a time.

In this episode, we get into the exact moments that forged Paul's leadership philosophy, why most business owners stay stuck (and it's never an outside problem), and what it actually means to put people first.

Most business owners don't lose their best people because of pay — they lose them because of how they lead.

In this episode of the Impactful Leader Podcast, host Chris sits down with Stephen Daly, President of Optima Engineering, one of the largest MEP consulting firms in the Carolinas — and the conversation is nothing short of a masterclass in leadership.

Stephen opens up about his journey from being the fastest engineer in the room to becoming a servant leader who coaches, develops, and reproduces the next generation of leaders. He shares the raw, unfiltered lessons that shaped who he is — from being read the riot act by a boss who knew exactly how to push him, to going through a divorce in 2017 and learning what it really means to care for the whole person.

If you're a business owner, manager, or aspiring leader wondering why your top talent keeps walking out the door — this episode will change how you think about culture, coaching, and what it truly means to lead.

Jason Reed built a company from his second bedroom into a 3,500-employee business with five brands across the nation. He's coached CEOs for 15 years, failed at over 30 companies, and lost tens of millions of dollars along the way.

But in March of 2018, Jason experienced the loss no parent should ever face — his 14-year-old son took his own life.

That moment changed everything. It changed how he leads, how he shows up for his people, and why he now dedicates his life to making sure no other parent misses what he missed.

In this episode of The Impactful Leader, host Chris sits down with Jason to talk about:

🔹 Why he calls himself a "builder of people" — not a CEO

🔹 What 30+ business failures taught him that success never could

🔹 "Failure is an event, not an identity" — how to bounce back without losing yourself

🔹 Why discipline and written goals separate leaders from dreamers

🔹 The signs of mental health struggles he wishes he'd recognized sooner

🔹 Why frontline managers MUST be equipped for mental health conversations

🔹 How leading with vulnerability creates stronger teams — and real ROI

🔹 "Do your employees want to give you a hug? If not, you're doing something wrong."

This is one of the most honest conversations we've ever had on this podcast.

Are you winning at work but losing at home? In this episode of the Impactful Leader Podcast, host Chris sits down with leadership coach and author Kelly Tolman to expose the silent threat of modern leadership and Work Mistake: Isolation.

We often think "ministry" only happens inside a church, or that success is defined by our profit margins. But if you are compartmentalizing your faith, family, and career, you might be heading toward a crash. Kelly shares his powerful concept of "Portable Mirrors"—the people we need in our lives to show us the blind spots we can't see in ourselves.

If you are a business owner, pastor, or leader who feels successful yet lonely, this conversation is the wake-up call you need to start living an integrated life.

In this episode, we cover:

1) The Danger of Isolation: Why isolation is the first step toward moral and relational failure for leaders.

2) The "Winning vs. Losing" Trap: How to identify if you are succeeding professionally while neglecting your most important relationships.

3) What is a "Portable Mirror"? The specific type of accountability partner every leader needs to survive.

4) Redefining Ministry: Kelly explains concepts from his book Ambushed by God, showing how your workplace is your actual mission field.

5) Embracing Disruption: How to handle when God disrupts your plans and why obedience often looks like letting go.

What if the most powerful leadership role isn’t the CEO… but the second in command?

In this episode of The Impactful Leader Podcast, Chris Callahan sits down with Jeff Foil, President of Seven Oaks Capital, to unpack a perspective rarely discussed in leadership circles — the power and value of being the “number two.”

Jeff spent most of his career as a second-in-command leader before stepping into the presidency. He shares why loyalty, responsibility, and execution are critical traits for supporting a vision — and how caring for employees creates long-term business success.

This episode explores:

• Why the second-in-command role is vital to any organization

• The difference between managing tasks and developing leaders

• How “people over profit” actually increases profit

• The importance of season-aware leadership

• Why wisdom matters more than knowledge

• Learning from costly mistakes (including a $500,000 lesson in pride)

• What it really means to leave a legacy

Jeff’s leadership philosophy is simple but powerful: Be kind. Be fair. Do what you say you’ll do.

If you're a business owner, executive, or emerging leader, this conversation will challenge how you define success and growth.

Because sustainable leadership isn’t about domination — it’s about developing people.

• Why listening is a leader’s greatest superpower

• How to build a legacy your children will actually carry forward
