Guest topics

Conversations your listeners
will actually use.

Pick one, or let Jesse shape a conversation around your show's theme.

Purpose

Most people don't quit on their purpose. They quit on the price of it.

Why callings stall when the bill comes due, and how to count the cost, plan for it, and keep going when it gets expensive.

Story

From a repossessed car to a top ranked team

Burned out on 90 hour weeks, divorced and broke, Jesse told God, “I'll do whatever You tell me to do, no matter how crazy.” What that yes actually looked like, day by day.

Framework

The 7 step BUILDER Blueprint

Become Aware, Unplug, Identity First, Lay Framework, Do Work, Expand Capacity, Rise and Build. Where your listeners are, and the next step for their season. You're not stuck. You're just on a step.

Faith & business

Build Until: do business until He comes back

Luke 19:13, “Do business with this until I come back.” Moving from survival mode to dominion mode, why momentum is built in hidden seasons, and why burying your gifts out of fear is bad stewardship.

Money

Money that funds your purpose

Jesse helps people strategically plan to afford and realize their goals, dreams, and purpose. Cash flow, protecting your family and income, and planning for more than retirement. Educational, never a pitch.

Identity

We don't live lucky. We live called.

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28). Why builders don't need luck, and what living called looks like on a Monday.

Also available: leadership and follow up for sales teams, and the business side of a creative calling from a Billboard #1 record promoter and co-founder of Revival Music Company.

Host introduction · about 20 seconds

My guest today learned the price of purpose the hard way. Burned out, broke and starting over, he made God a promise to do whatever He asked, no matter how crazy. That promise built a top ranked team in financial services, a Christian music company working number one records, a podcast and a book called The Purpose-Driven Business Builder's Blueprint. Welcome to the show, Jesse Wood.
