    • God Is My Co-Founder: Daniel Guzman on Leading Yoked

      Daniel Guzman runs his business on one conviction: "God is my co-founder. He's my partner in this."

      Peter Awad and co-host Jeremy Hebets sit down in studio with Daniel, who was running strength and conditioning for a pro soccer team at twenty-three and now leads in the health and wellness world. They talk about why leadership gets lonely, how trust gets built with the people you serve, and what it looks like to walk yoked with God through an ordinary work week. Daniel closes with a practice any leader can start tomorrow morning.

      • Daniel's path from strength coach to pro sports to business leader
      • Which is harder: getting kids out the door or a pro team on the bus?
      • Why leadership can feel so lonely, and the first step out of it
      • Raising your hand and letting someone help you
      • Saying "this is my best understanding" when you don't have the answer yet
      • "What's on the crest": when your work becomes your identity
      • Building trust by coming alongside the people you lead
      • What yoked means, and treating God as a working partner

      • What It Means to be YOKED (with Jeremy Hebets)

        "Can you imagine you die and... he says, 'Hey dude, look behind you.' And you turn around and there's a hole. 'Look at all the stuff I gave you.'"

        On the first episode of the YOKED Podcast, Peter Awad and co-host Jeremy Hebets unpack the picture behind the show's name: a senior ox and a junior ox sharing one yoke, with the stronger one setting the pace and pulling most of the weight. From there they get practical about the fear hiding under a leader's hurry, the friends close enough to notice when you drift, and the coaching habits that turn good intentions into real change. Jeremy reads the parable of the talents, and together they ask what each of us is doing with what God has entrusted to us.

        In this episode

        • What a yoke actually does, and why Jesus used it to describe walking with Him
        • Why hurry is usually fear, and how to dig a problem out at the root
        • Battle buddies and the people close enough to notice when you drift
        • How a coach earns the right to challenge
        • Jeremy's coaching journey, from the body to the mind to the soul
        • Truth tell, mind change, form change
        • The "sober why": bringing your fear why and your heart why together
        • A six-week question: who's pulling on me, and who should be?
        • The parable of the talents, read and discussed
        • Every leadership ceiling is an identity ceiling, and why Peter calls himself a piece of sky
