Ep 204: Why Culture Is a Leader's Responsibility (and How to Shape It) with Jenni Catron
Q: Jenni, how do you define culture, and when did you start using the word culture?
Culture is the clarity of who we are and how we work together to achieve our mission, with an emphasis on values, beliefs, and behaviors that guide everyday actions; culture emerges from both the foundational mission and the ways we interact, and it grows through intentional rituals and stories.

Q: If someone wants to join Faith Driven Entrepreneurs, how does that work and what do they get?
Membership is voluntary and free, offering a center for entrepreneurship and conversation accessible to churches, with funding structures supported by families to cover operating costs and ensure that 100% of donations go toward impact, while professional management and reporting are provided.
Ep 202: Creating Meaningful Change Through Faith and Entrepreneurship (with Justin Forman)
Q: What does it look like to normalize the language of faith and work, and how did Faith Driven Entrepreneurs come to focus on entrepreneurs specifically?
The interview explains that over time the movement shifted from viewing entrepreneurs as mere financial partners to recognizing their potential to lead, care for teams, and drive meaningful impact, culminating in a dedicated focus on entrepreneurs with a broader, global outreach.
Ep 202: Creating Meaningful Change Through Faith and Entrepreneurship (with Justin Forman)
Q: So tell us about your background and how you even got involved with Faith Driven Entrepreneurs.
