Episode 40
In the 40th episode of Successfully Unsuccessful, I sat down with my co-host and producer, Chris Barrett, to reflect on a journey that has reshaped the way I view success. As entrepreneurs and executives, we’re taught that success is about reaching financial milestones, climbing the corporate ladder, and making an impact. While those things have value, they can leave us feeling empty if they aren’t grounded in something greater. True success, I’ve learned, isn’t about checking the next box—it’s about aligning our work and purpose with God’s calling.
One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is that faith and business don’t have to exist in separate worlds. In fact, they shouldn’t. If we truly believe that God has given us gifts, resources, and influence, then how we lead, how we serve, and how we steward those blessings matters. In this episode, Chris and I explore what it means to shift from self-driven ambition to a Christ-centered approach. It’s about being intentional in our daily choices—whether that’s in leadership, in our families, or in the way we make decisions that impact the people around us. When we redefine success through faith, we stop chasing validation from the world and start embracing the mission God has set before us.
To help break this down, we introduce the BEAST framework—Belief, Equip, Apply, Steward, and Transform. This isn’t just a catchy acronym; it’s a roadmap for business owners and leaders who want to lead with faith at the forefront. Transformation doesn’t happen overnight, and it certainly doesn’t happen in isolation. That’s why we need community, accountability, and a willingness to take small, intentional steps. Whether you’re struggling to balance faith and business or seeking a greater purpose beyond the numbers, this conversation is for you. Join us as we rethink what success really means and commit to walking this journey together.
