  • The Power of Ownership: Why Mission & Mindset Matter w/ Olympic Legend Jim Ryun

    The Power of Ownership: Why Mission & Mindset Matter w/ Olympic Legend Jim Ryun
    2026/07/13
    Jim Ryun went from getting cut from nearly every team to becoming the first high schooler in history to break four minutes in the mile. He credits much of that breakthrough to a coach who convinced him to adopt a dream he did not yet believe was possible, and to a moment when he decided to take ownership of it himself. That shift carried him beyond track into small business, public service in Congress, and eventually the Jim Ryun Running Camps, where he and his wife Anne blend elite training with character formation and faith. We unpack what ownership really means, how sacrifice becomes leverage instead of loss, what sports teach about leadership under pressure, and how to build something mission driven that outlasts you. --- Episode Resources Jim Ryun Running Camps (https://ryunrunning.com/) Philippians 4:13 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Philippians+4%3A13&version=NIV) Roger Bannister and the first sub four minute mile (https://www.olympics.com/en/news/roger-bannister-first-sub-four-minute-mile) Jim Ryun Running YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/@JimRyunRunning)

  • Nothing About Us Without Us: Teaching Kids Leadership Through Ownership w/ Leah K. Ellis of The Society of Child Entrepreneurs

    Nothing About Us Without Us: Teaching Kids Leadership Through Ownership w/ Leah K. Ellis of The Society of Child Entrepreneurs
    2026/06/29
    Leah Ellis, founder of the Society of Child Entrepreneurs, is building a nonprofit that teaches kids ages 6 to 17 entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and leadership by making it real. Kids launch actual businesses, sell at children’s business fairs, and then workshop what worked and what didn’t so they can iterate and grow. She traces her own entrepreneurial streak from selling five-dollar MySpace layouts in high school to running an in-home daycare, until black mold, a deployment, and the March 17, 2020 stay-at-home order forced a pivot that sparked her daughter’s first business and, by accident, the organization she runs today. We unpack what makes her program different, how she funds and scales a mission-driven nonprofit, and why “nothing about us without us” includes a junior board of directors so kids help shape the curriculum. --- Episode Resources Society of Child Entrepreneurs (SoCE) - Leah’s nonprofit teaching entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and leadership to kids ages 6–17.

  • How Data-Informed Structure Can Turn Chaos Into Scalable Growth w/ Marcio Goncalves of WiseVAs

    How Data-Informed Structure Can Turn Chaos Into Scalable Growth w/ Marcio Goncalves of WiseVAs
    2026/06/15
    Marcio Goncalves, founder of a fast-growing virtual assistant agency (a team that handles admin and day-to-day tasks for busy founders) and a fully remote podcast production company, argues that scale comes from structure, not luck. He shares how his first taste of entrepreneurship started at 12, raising pet-store hamsters and finding homes for the new litters, and how that early instinct evolved into launching a podcast in 2012 before most people knew what a podcast was. He walks through leaving a steady salary after a quick real estate win, then building toward the businesses he runs today, including a virtual assistant company growing 10 to 15 percent month over month. We unpack how he turns getting new customers into simple math, the hiring order that helps founders stop being the bottleneck, and the kitchen-table low point that pushed him to adopt the Entrepreneurial Operating System framework plus personality assessments to steady the team and the metrics. --- Episode Resources EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) - A simple operating framework for running a business with clear priorities, weekly meetings, and a few key numbers to track.
