  • #11 – From Pastor to Entrepreneur: Building Wise, Faith-Led Businesses with Mark Casto

    What happens when you walk away from everything you’ve built only to discover a bigger purpose waiting for you?

    In this episode of the Do Good Legacy Podcast, Jen sits down with Mark Casto, sought-after business strategist and founder of the Wise Builders Movement. Once a pastor leading a multimillion-dollar ministry, Mark made the radical decision to leave behind the pulpit and step into a new calling: helping high-level leaders, messengers, and entrepreneurs turn their God-given wisdom into highly profitable digital product businesses.

    From building a 23-million-dollar church facility in his 20s, to losing it all and rediscovering his worth outside of ministry, Mark’s story is raw, inspiring, and a powerful reminder that purpose and profit can go hand in hand. Together, they unpack what it really looks like to follow God’s whisper, even when it disrupts everything familiar.

    Whether you’re faith-driven, navigating a pivot, or simply hungry for a deeper conversation about authenticity, calling, and entrepreneurship, this episode will leave you rethinking how you measure success.

    What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

    • Mark’s journey from pastoring thousands to starting over with nothing
    • The radical encounters that reshaped his understanding of God’s love
    • How to discern when a season is over and the signs it’s time to move on
    • Why free will, not control, shapes so much of our life and faith journey
    • The power of aligning business with authenticity (and why broad = broke)
    • How Mark scaled Wise Builders into a thriving digital product movement
    • Why success isn’t fame or numbers it’s a wife who’s still in love and kids who want to be with you

    This conversation is equal parts testimony, strategy, and a permission slip to build a business that honors both your soul and your vision.

  • #9 – Your Results Are Proof of Your Standards: 3 Ways I’m Blowing the Rest of 2025

    If you’ve been feeling “just fine” in your business or life but deep down know you want more, this episode is going to hit home.

    Recorded just after the Lionsgate Portal, Jen shares the quote that’s been living rent-free in her mind: “Your results are proof of your standards.” What followed was a candid, fire-starting conversation with herself about where she’s been playing small, what she’s tolerating, and how she’s raising her standards for the final five months of the year.

    Whether your goal is to hit your first $10K month, double your revenue, get a promotion, or make a personal leap you’ve been avoiding, this is your reminder that the next five months can be your excuse or your breakthrough. You get to decide.

    • Why this one quote might trigger you and how to use that trigger as fuel
    • The connection between your standards, your results and your sense of self-worth
    • Discover Jen’s three focus areas for the rest of 2025:
    • How to reverse-engineer your revenue goal into a simple, high-ticket offer
    • Why shiny objects (like podcasts or YouTube) won’t help if you need fast cash flow
    • The personal goal Jen is committing to before the end of the year (and why it terrifies her)

    This isn’t about doing more, it’s about doing the right things. When you raise your standards, you raise your results.
