    Andrew Crapuchettes, CEO of Red Balloon, discusses the importance of faith in leadership and the need for Christians to be ambitious in business. He shares his personal journey and how he started Red Balloon to provide job opportunities for those who have faced discrimination based on their faith or conservative values. Andrew also talks about the challenges faced by small businesses in the current economic climate and the impact of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) initiatives. He emphasizes the importance of hiring based on merit and the value individuals bring to an organization. Andrew shares his vision for the future of Red Balloon and offers advice for Gen Z job seekers. REDBALLOON.WORK takeaways Faith plays a crucial role in leadership and can have a profound impact on employees' lives. Christians should be ambitious in business and strive to live out their values in the workplace. Discrimination based on race, gender, or sexual orientation is wrong, and hiring decisions should be based on merit. Small businesses are facing challenges due to the current economic climate and are in a wait-and-see mode. DEI initiatives have been weaponized and can create division rather than unity. Gen Z job seekers should focus on showing up, working hard, and being cheerful to differentiate themselves in the workforce.

    Austin Thoms, a financial advisor and host of the podcast '2300 Reasons Why,' shares his journey from being a basketball coach to entering the financial services industry. He discovered the significance of money, wealth, and possessions in the Bible and felt called to help bridge the gap between faith and finances.

He discusses the challenges of living counterculturally in a society driven by consumerism and offers insights on how to navigate financial decisions with wisdom. In this conversation, Austin Thoms discusses the importance of aligning finances with biblical principles. He highlights the parable of the sower and identifies five competing forces that challenge our character and stewardship: comparison, lack of contentment, comfort zone, culture, and coveting. Austin emphasizes the need for intentionality and trust in the process of financial wellness. He encourages readers to read 1 Timothy 6 for profound wisdom on money and to focus on the ultimate goal of hearing 'well done, thou good and faithful servant.' Austin can be found on the podcast '2300 Reasons Why' and at Wealth Advisors Group. Takeaways Stewardship is the goal, but not the direct focus. It is important to prioritize personal character and the spiritual process, as they drive the results of being better stewards of our resources. Living counterculturally is a constant challenge, especially in a society driven by consumerism. It requires intentional choices and a commitment to aligning our actions with our faith. Financial decisions should be guided by wisdom and the principles found in the Bible. There are over 2300 verses in the Bible that address money, wealth, and possessions, making it a valuable resource for financial guidance.
