• Diluted Focus = Diluted Results - Biblical Lessons in Your Yes and Your No (And a podcast update)

  Dear Listeners, Today’s episode is going to be a little different. I have a big update to share—this will be the last podcast episode for the year. But before you panic, let me explain. This isn’t the end—it’s a strategic shift, a realignment. And I want to take you inside that decision and give you some insight into how diluted focus leads to diluted results. We live in a world that constantly pulls us in a million directions. More meetings, more content, more commitments, more noise. And I had to ask myself—am I pouring into what matters most? The Holy Spirit has been pressing on my heart that it’s time to refine, to streamline, to give my full attention to what He’s calling me to build. That means for this season, I’m putting my focus where it needs to be—on Authsnap and on helping the women in The Bold Equip Collective step into their God-given callings. This isn’t just about stepping back from the podcast. I’m streamlining everything. The content I create. The events I show up to. The social gatherings I prioritize. Even down to the food I put in my body. Why? Because alignment with the Holy Spirit isn’t just about saying yes to the right things—it’s about saying no to the distractions. I know so many of you are in seasons where clarity feels hard to find. Where you’re trying to do all the things but not seeing the fruit. And I want to encourage you today—God is always speaking. The question is, are we making space to listen? John 10:27 says, “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” The Holy Spirit doesn’t shout over the noise; He whispers. And it’s in that stillness, that obedience, that we find our path. Elijah heard God not in the wind, earthquake, or fire—but in a gentle whisper (1 Kings 19:11-12). Samuel, as a young boy, learned to say, “Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening” (1 Samuel 3:10). Jesus Himself often withdrew to quiet places to pray and seek the Father’s will (Luke 5:16). So as I step into this next season of focused obedience, I want to challenge you—what in your life needs streamlining? Where is diluted focus creating diluted results? Where is God asking you to tune out the noise so you can hear Him more clearly? This podcast will return when the time is right, when God says it’s time. Until then, I’ll still be sharing wisdom and encouragement through The Bold Equip Collective, through Authsnap, and through the content I create. Thank you for being on this journey with me. Keep listening. Keep leaning in. And I’ll see you when the time is right. Let’s stay connected—find me on LinkedIn, Instagram, and inside The Bold Equip Collective.

• 5 Quick Things You Can Do to Boost Black Friday Sales in 3 Days or Less (and a life update)

  Quick Recap In this episode we shared updates about our business and podcast strategy while highlighting the importance of faith and partnership with God in entrepreneurship. This included insights on reevaluating Black Friday sales strategies and boosting revenue through education, accountability, and community support. Summary Black Friday Strategies and Updates We discussed Black Friday strategies, emphasizing the importance of reevaluating offers and communication channels like email and texts. Key points included leveraging Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday, and Giving Tuesday to maximize sales in the following week. Our Journey and Professional Challenges We shared personal and professional growth experiences, including navigating challenges like disagreements about living arrangements and juggling roles in two startups. These challenges led to stepping back temporarily from the podcast and email community, reinforcing the importance of adapting to changing circumstances. Podcast Direction and Business Shift Plans for the podcast include shorter, more frequent episodes (five days a week). We’re shifting away from high-ticket programs and masterminds, focusing instead on providing education, accountability, and community. This aligns with the launch of the 7-day "Reignite" challenge, designed to help entrepreneurs reset and refocus. Faith and Partnership in Entrepreneurship We stressed the role of faith in business, highlighting the Bible verse, “His grace is sufficient for me. His power is made perfect in my weakness.” This perspective drives our focus on building sustainable, God-aligned businesses. Strategies to Boost Sales and Revenue Suggestions included bundling products, offering discounts, and adding bonus digital resources to entice buyers. We emphasized the importance of volume and creative incentives to make offers more appealing. Black Friday Sales Strategy and Testing Key recommendations: Understand what God is guiding you to sell and prepare your audience in advance. Use pre-notifications and multiple communication channels to build excitement. Test systems and automate communications for smooth sales operations. Create unique offers for Small Business Saturday and Giving Tuesday. Rest on Sunday and follow up on Monday to maintain balance. Finally, we encouraged everyone to use this season to make a final revenue push while participating in the "Reignite Challenge" for personal and business growth.   The Bold Equip Collective: www.theboldequipcollective.com/waitlist Reignite challenge:  https://link.gosocialfox.com/widget/form/Sshanpw0Q182v98zXbiU

• Spiritual Warfare & Business: How I Overcame a 2-Year Demonic Attack

  In this episode, I’m sharing an incredible personal testimony of deliverance from a demonic attack I’ve been battling for over two years. 🛡️ If you've ever experienced unexplainable struggles in your business or personal life, this episode is for you. I dive into: How God prepared me for this breakthrough through a podcast I listened to earlier in the day. The spiritual warfare I've faced since starting my tech company in 2023, including strange night wakings that felt more like attacks than stress. How I recognized this as a spiritual battle and took authority in Jesus' name to cast it out, using prayer and spiritual tactics. The moment I commanded the attack to leave, how I felt peace like never before, and finally slept soundly. We’re going deeper into why spiritual warfare is so critical for business owners and how we need both spiritual equipping and practical business acumen to thrive. “...For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers...of this present darkness” (Ephesians 6:12). Listen in to understand how you can take authority in your own battles, grow spiritually, and apply these lessons to your business.
