291. Why Most CEO Advice Fails Faith-Focused Founders & How to Lead with Bold Alignment

YOUR BIG NEXT | business growth, leadership development, scaling with purpose, faith and family first entrepreneur

In this episode of Your Big Next, I’m sharing with you what it’s really looked like to weave my faith into the way I lead—not just in life, but in business. For a long time, I followed the traditional path... listening to the mentors, applying the strategies, doing all the things that “should” work. But it often left me feeling off. Misaligned. Like I was building something that looked right on paper—but didn’t feel right in my spirit.

Maybe you’ve felt that too.

So today, I’m sharing the moments that challenged me to choose obedience over approval, discernment over default, and peace over performance. This isn’t about burning it all down—it’s about building differently. With God at the center. With integrity in your leadership. And with a definition of success that actually aligns with your calling.

In this episode, I talk about:

🙏 Why separating faith from business never really worked for me

💡 The difference between advice that sounds smart—and wisdom that’s aligned

🛑 What happened when I walked away from high-level mentorships and flashy strategies

💬 The cost of being misunderstood—and why it’s worth it when you’re being obedient

📊 Why I stopped chasing KPIs and started pursuing “worthy exhaustion”

⚖️ The three leadership models I see in founders: the hustler, the steward, and the legacy builder

🌱 Why margin isn’t a luxury—it's the foundation for obedience, clarity, and real growth

If you’re building something that’s meant to last... something that aligns with your faith, your family, and your future—this episode is for you.
