Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Power of Value Journalism and Radical Helpfulness w/ John Hall
Q: What do you believe is the something extra that every leader needs?
The something extra is faith for me, which acts as a guiding light that helps leaders stay value-driven and make decisions that lead to better outcomes for themselves and others.
Building Businesses for a Greater Purpose w/ Mike Sharrow
Q: For somebody who's hearing business as ministry for the first time, how would you describe it to Mike?
Business as ministry means seeing your daily work as a context for ministry, recognizing that God cares about what you do, how you do it, and the impact it has, not turning the business into a nonprofit.
A Journey of Surrender w/ Brandon Bettis
Q: Brandon, tell us about your path from the military to civilian life and the hidden struggles you faced.
He describes outward success masking deep internal battles, including suicidal thoughts, the search for meaning beyond money and status, and how Mighty Oaks provided a pivotal turning point leading to faith and a new sense of purpose.
Returning to Episode 10: Honoring Bob Chapman: The Extraordinary Power of Treating Your People Like Family
Q: Did you ever think you'd become a CEO one day, given your CPA background and early career path?
He explains he never planned to be CEO, initially aiming to be a public accounting partner, and only later entering the family business after a conversation with his father.
Navigating the Future of Philanthropy w/ Betsy Cohen
Q: How did Betsy transition from a long corporate career to Mosaic and later to Future Good?
She leveraged a strong track record in marketing, coalition-building, and leadership to identify a regional opportunity (immigration and international talent) and created Mosaic as a new nonprofit platform. After achieving measurable regional growth, she continued applying her futurist lens to philanthropy through Future Good, focusing on strategic planning and donor education.
