  • Episode 334 - Tech CEO Moves Company to an Avoided Neighborhood | Chi-Ming & Juliette Chien
    2025/07/08

    In this powerful episode of the Faith Driven Entrepreneur podcast, hosts Justin Forman and Kevin Kim sit down with Chi-Ming and Juliette Chien to explore their radical decision to relocate their successful tech company from San Francisco's financial district to Bayview - a neighborhood where 25-30% of children live below the federal poverty line.

    Chi-Ming shares how Dayspring Technologies embodies "bearing witness to God's redeeming of the workplace, marketplace, and community" through unconventional business practices like refusing to use leverage in negotiations, maintaining only three months of cash reserves, and implementing a pay structure where CEO compensation is capped at 3x the lowest paid employee.

    Juliette reveals how their partnership with Redeemer Community Church led to the founding of RISE, a Christian high school where 80% of seats are reserved for first-generation college students from low-income families, with a mission of 100% four-year university admission.

    Key Highlights:
    • Why Dayspring moved from downtown San Francisco to Bayview, defying conventional business wisdom
    • The theological imagination that shapes radical business practices
    • How "prophetic emptiness" - leaving space for God to fill - birthed a transformative school
    • The power of church-business partnerships in community transformation
    • Practical examples of living out gospel economics in the marketplace
    • Why achievement and control can be more dangerous idols than money
    Quotable Moments:

    "I think a lot of times we call something impractical when it's largely left untried." - Juliette Chien

    "In order to love a place, you need to know it. In order to know it, you need to learn it, so you gotta spend time." - Chi-Ming Chien

    "If somebody takes your coat then give them your tunic also... That actually has implications for how we think about relating to our marketplace neighbors." - Chi-Ming Chien

  • Episode 333 - The Walmart Architect's Secret to Kingdom Currency | Raymond Harris
    2025/06/24

    In this profound episode of the Faith Driven Entrepreneur podcast, host Justin Forman sits down with Raymond Harris, a distinguished architect, executive producer, and venture capitalist who founded one of the largest architectural firms specializing in corporate architecture. Raymond shares his remarkable journey from questioning whether he missed his calling to building an 8,000-project portfolio with Walmart while revolutionizing his understanding of wealth, stewardship, and Kingdom impact.

    From giving away his entire wedding gift with only $600 in the bank to developing the concept of "Kingdom currency," Raymond's story challenges conventional thinking about success, generosity, and the true purpose of business.

    Key Highlights:
    • Raymond's journey from pre-med to architecture and his bold request to become a partner at age 27
    • Building a firm that completed 8,000 projects for Walmart over 37 years
    • The transformative realization: "I was really created not to be an architect, but to be a steward of his kingdom. Architecture was just the economic engine to do that."
    • Why practicing generosity early matters: "If you're not generous when you don't have anything, you're certainly not gonna be generous when you have a lot"
    • The concept of "Kingdom currency" - converting earthly assets into eternal impact
    • Innovative approaches to inheritance: giving to children when they need it most, not when they're in their 60s
    • The danger of achievement as an addiction and the importance of authentic brokenness
    • Why donor-advised funds can become "storage warehouses" if not deployed strategically
    Quotable Moments:

    "Did I miss the turn by not going into ministry? And I didn't want to. I wanted to be an architect... about 25 years after running a firm, the Lord said, no, you never missed the turn. You've always been on the right road. You've been trying to drive the car by looking in the mirror, look through the windshield."

    "Why does he entrust wealth to people? But he gave it to us. So that we could steward it into his kingdom to take care of those that can't take care of himself."

    "If we think that we can keep hold of earthly money and make more money on earth and then give away more money and that's really pleasing to God, I think he's more interested in us giving early so that he can compound what is really his money anyway."

    "I call it kingdom currency. What is kingdom currency? Kingdom currency in my thinking is wealth and assets on this earth that will transfer into the next kingdom, which is eternity."

  • Episode 332 - Building God-Glorifying VR Tech to Compete with Apple & Meta | Renji Bijoy
    2025/06/17

    In this powerful episode recorded at SXSW, host Justin Forman sits down with Renji Bijoy, founder and CEO of Immersed, the most-used application in the AR/VR space. Renji shares his journey from PhD student to tech entrepreneur, his mission to build faith-driven technology that brings people together rather than isolates them, and why he believes believers should be at the forefront of building the next generation of computing platforms.

    Key Highlights:
    • How separating identity from company outcomes leads to better decision-making and freedom from emotional choices
    • Why Renji builds Immersed because he "hates remote work" - creating connection in a disconnected world
    • The transition from software to hardware and launching Visor - a revolutionary AR headset that's 70% lighter than competitors
    • Competing with tech giants like Apple, Google, and Meta while being guided by faith
    • The importance of believers influencing culture through technology rather than being mere consumers
    • Balancing 80-hour work weeks with faithful stewardship and avoiding willfulness
    • How Immersed is positioned to impact humanoid robotics through human pose estimation data
    Quotable Moments:

    "If we do what I think the Lord calls us to do, which is to separate our identity from what our work is... actually it's a lot more freeing."

    "I'm building Immersed because I hate remote work... I think that there is a more God-glorifying version of that that makes us all feel very connected."

    "I believe that if you have a world that the most common devices that we use, built by believers, I think that's going to be a lot more of a optimistic, bright future."
