In this episode of Impact CEO, Duane Donner and J. Lee Ellison sat down with John Burdett, founder and CEO of Fast Slow Motion, to explore what it truly means to build a scalable business rooted in stewardship, purpose, and faith. John shares how implementing the right systems and processes not only helps companies grow, but also creates the freedom to enjoy life, invest in relationships, and lead with intentionality.

John also opens up about walking through one of the most difficult seasons of his life, facing major health challenges and how his faith, preparation, and business foundation allowed him to experience peace and see his company thrive even in his absence. This powerful conversation highlights the importance of surrender, daily disciplines, building businesses that outlast the founder, and focusing on the scoreboard that truly matters, people, purpose, and eternal impact.
