In this episode of A Brit And A Yank Talk Business, Stuart Amidon and Tom Caldicott sit down in person to compare Christianity in America and the UK.

After Tom’s visit to the American South, they discuss public Christian symbols, cultural Christianity, baptism, national identity, and why the South still feels distinctly Christian compared to much of Britain.

They also talk about why Christians should not despise cultural Christianity, why America should be encouraged rather than despairing, and what it looks like to build faithfully in your own town.

A Brit And A Yank Talk Business is a conversation between Stuart Amidon and Tom Caldicott about business, leadership, work, and faith from both sides of the Atlantic.

The show explores what it means to build well, lead with conviction, compete with integrity, and approach entrepreneurship as Christian business owners.

In this episode of A Brit And A Yank Talk Business, Stuart Amidon of Page50 Marketing & Media and Tom Caldicott of Knox Thomas sit down in person for a conversation about “brutal discipleship” in business.

They discuss why Christian business owners should not settle for poor work, avoid hard conversations, or confuse niceness with faithfulness. Instead, they make the case for honest correction, clear standards, humility, confession of sin, and a willingness to disciple people through the real pressures of the workplace.

In this episode of A Brit And A Yank Talk Business, Stuart Amidon of Page50 Marketing & Media and Tom Caldicott of Knox Thomas kick off Season 2 with a conversation about when Christian business owners should “fight” in business.

Not physically, of course, but in the real-world business sense. When competitors move into your market, when someone starts chasing your customers, or when your industry begins shifting around you, how should a Christian business owner respond?

Stuart and Tom discuss why competition should not lead to fear, bitterness, slander, or defensiveness. Instead, they make the case for going on offense through better service, stronger systems, harder work, innMakovation, generosity, and a joyful willingness to build.

They also talk about why guarding “trade secrets” is often weaker than constantly improving, why defensive business tactics can damage teams and industries, and how Christian business owners can compete aggressively without losing their integrity.

Topics include:

• When competition becomes a call to action
• Why Christian business owners should avoid the victim mindset
• How to “go to war” in business without becoming bitter
• Why innovation beats defensiveness
• The value of giving away knowledge and building trust
• How competition can make your team and business stronger
• Why joy matters when facing pressure, conflict, and hard work
