Hello Big Brains: I was recently invited to sit down with 6 hyper successful CEOs to share my testimony, and to reflect upon the pursuit of "purpose" and "identity" in this world. Each of these CEOs had achieved everything that the world defines as "success"... each of these CEOs had impressive titles, world class resumes, financial independence, generational wealth, appreciable "assets" (i.e., homes, cars, fancy things), power, respect, and status... So why did they want to talk with me? Because, despite their worldly success, they felt deeply unfulfilled. To be clear, I did not know a single one of these CEOs. A former peer of mine shared my story with one of the CEOs, and they invited me to speak for two hours (they kept me for 3 hours). I also believe God gave me this unique and unexpected opportunity to encourage me during a period of transition and change in my life. If you don't know my story - here is a short summary (see "Find My Next"): God called me off of the corporate ladder that I worked tirelessly to climb for 15 years, and into a radically different purpose. God called me into outdoor ministry - not simply to lead adventures, but to help create space where hearts are formed, priorities are reordered, and lives are surrendered to Him. Here is a reflection that I wrote after my conversation with these CEOs. I hope it offers encouragement. ***** Over the past few months, I’ve had the privilege of sitting across the table from CEOs - men and women who have reached what many would call the summit of success. Impressive titles. Influence. Financial freedom. Resumes that command instant respect. As I’ve shared my own testimony, many have opened up in return. And in more than a few conversations, I’ve encountered something unexpected: restlessness. A quiet disorientation. An unspoken question beneath the surface - Is this it? Success answers many questions. But it does not answer the deepest ones. So I’ve begun asking something simple: “Who are you when you’re not the CEO?”

Hello Big Brains! Thank you for the warm welcome. If you've read my "Find Your Next" post, you've learned about my unique story -- climbing the corporate ladder at Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), transitioning into all-in entrepreneurship, and now feeling called as a Christ-follower into ministry. I've read so many of your amazing stories, and I look forward to engaging with everyone as we purse our unique callings in life! Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to share some of my life lessons and business insights via a podcast hosted by Sylvania Harrod. I was asked to speak about the transition from living in the "Zoo" (i.e., corporate environment, feed regularly, comfortable) to the "Jungle" (i.e., all-in entrepreneurship, hunting for every meal, and less comfortable). Joe's AMAZING podcast series (Sunday Sips) encouraged me to share this here! If you're interested in learning more about my story, check it out.

Hey everyone! I just wrapped up my shift at Amazon and wanted to share some exciting updates. I've been working there for three weeks now, earning around $700 a week, which is helping us financially. I didn't land the Midmark front-end director role , but have pivoted hard to networking on LinkedIn, and my posts have been gaining traction some with over 5,000 views. As a call to action, I encourage you all to ask questions in our community, and I’ll connect you with others who can help. Congrats to @Dani Rosenblad James for doing Pro!
