Burnout can come from all kinds of sources, but one we may neglect is the financial pressures, and the continual anxiety of trying to "make ends meet."
In this episode, we have Myron Pierce on the podcast for the second time. While Myron is a pastor and church-planter, this conversation is all about how Myron has used business to support not only his ministry and the ministry of others, but also his family. Myron has started and led multiple businesses and "side-hustles" that have become a means to further the kingdom of God in his city.
As pastors and planters we often feel like we have 80% of the finances we need to support our families. That 20% gap can cause stress, anxiety and distraction. A "side-hustle" is a side project, service or business that you can monetize to close that gap financially. Many pastors and planters are getting creative and finding ways to serve, love and support their family through new found financial stability.

How do you transform a passion into a career? Or at least a little bit of side income? I bet most of us have asked a similar question.
In today's episode, Alan has a conversation with entrepreneur, author and content creator, Bob Clagett. Bob shares his story and some practical insight and tips into how he took his passion and launched a business. It turns out Bob likes to make stuff, and he was able to take that simple passion and develop a platform and a business because of the value he's been able to add to people's lives. Magic often happens at the intersection of our passions and needs of others. Please consider sharing this with anyone interested in making stuff, starting a business, or adding value through their passions. Enjoy.

In a world that has rapidly become more efficient and more automated, how do we continue to value the humanity of the people we serve?
In this episode, we have Tyler Hill in the studio. Tyler is an entrepreneur, coffee shop owner and he is obsessed with hospitality. Tyler challenges us to make sure we don't overlook the person for the service or product we offer. He describes practical ways that we can acknowledge and value the people that we serve.
This podcast was fun for us because we had our friend Cody Burch (from the "Cody Builds a Business" podcast) interviewing Tyler. This episode is full of great content for those leading in any kind of service or hospitality context.

Depending on the context you lead, "marketing" can feel like a dirty word. However, we think there is so much to learn as leaders when we explore different topics and disciplines.
In this episode, Alan sits down with author, entrepreneur and marketing expert, Cody Burch.
Cody unpacks core principles of marketing and specifically marketing "funnels." He gives us practical examples and tips in how to can get our message in front of people and how we can stay productive. While the topic is a bit outside of our normal conversations, we think leaders can learn how to better communicate from our friends in the marketing world.

Routine, rhythms and structure are so valuable to our continued health and longevity. But what happens when you get stuck? Sometimes we hit a wall with our creativity, with our discernment and we need something to help us break through.
In this episode, Alan and David have a conversation about changing our place in order to change our perspective. Sometimes getting out of a rut is as simple as working at a new coffee shop, taking a half-day retreat, or spending some time in a hammock.
Carving out time to intentionally break up your routine and comfort zone can be the difference between confusion and clarity.
At Stay Forth Designs we believe in this principle so much so that we are now offering intentionally designed experiences called "Stay Forth, Go Forth." These are where leaders can come to a curated space of rest, good food, fun and conversation centered around our leadership, health and longevity.
The next "Stay Forth, Go Forth" is in Phoenix, AZ and we're calling it our "Phoenix Fill Up." If you interested in joining us for this or an upcoming experience please visit - www.stayforth.com/goforth
