Most entrepreneurs think their greatest advantage is capital, connections, talent, or timing.

But the builders who endure know something deeper.

Knowing is the true competitive edge.

In this episode, Touré Roberts introduces Knowing as the internal guidance system that reveals what to build, when to move, who to trust, and how to scale—before the evidence appears. More than instinct or gut feeling, Knowing is divine clarity rooted in identity and alignment with what God already foreknew about your life.

You'll discover why entrepreneurs fail from misalignment—not ignorance—and how Knowing produces both speed and accuracy in decision-making.

When your knowing aligns with God's knowing, momentum becomes inevitable.

This week, we're continuing the conversation with venture capitalist Kwame Anku—diving deeper into the mindset and movement required to build where there's no existing roadmap. Drawing from real-world experience and expansive vision, Kwame unpacks how leaders can translate what they know into spaces that are still taking shape.

We also open up the room for live questions, expanding the dialogue around influence, innovation, and the complexity of doing meaningful work on emerging ground.

This marks the end of Season 5 of The Called Podcast—but we'll be back soon with fresh conversations, new voices, and even more insight to fuel your calling. Until then, stay the course, stay expectant, and stay connected.

If you want to thrive in both business and life, mastering the art of asking is key. Many of us hesitate to ask, fearing the answer will be "no". But the real fear should be not asking at all—and missing out on what could have been yours.

Asking is an intentional process—it requires thought, timing, and preparation before taking action. In today's episode, I'll walk you through 10 essential things to consider when making your request. Called Leaders, there are "yeses" waiting for you on the other side of your ask. ASK and you shall succeed.

In this week's episode, we're diving into the power of faith and imagination—two divine gifts that are essential to your success.

Faith is more than just optimism; it's the mindset and foundation you must have for everything you're building. Imagination, however, is different. It's a divine gift that allows you to see beyond your present to create the future God has already placed within you.

It's our responsibility to place ourselves in environments that not only cultivate our faith, but also give our imagination the freedom to stretch to the size of our vision. In this season, you'll need faith, imagination, and vision to reach new heights, and in today's episode, I'm going to unpack that for you.

From the overlooked potential of emerging economies to the spiritual principle of sowing and stewardship, this conversation is a charge to lead boldly, think globally, and move with intention toward impact.

Here's the truth: none of this matters without vision. Your vision is your roadmap, and without it, choosing the right people and resources to fulfill your calling becomes a challenge.

In this episode, I'll share practical insights on how to build your dream team, discover tools that will maximize your efficiency, and explore the right training to help you grow both personally and professionally. Every step you take toward growth is a step closer to the success God has for you. Your calling is waiting—it's time to take action!

Called Family! In this week's episode, I want to touch on the fierceness that's required for you to carry out your calling. It's important to note that fierceness isn't synonymous with arrogance. It is an understanding that what is for you must be seized, no matter what!

In life, it's normal to experience rejections, closed doors, and "no's" when you're after something. But when you believe in what God has called you to do, the "no" can't stop you because you have an inner knowing that you are eternally and divinely accepted.

In order to reach new heights, you must remember that every "no" leads you closer to the yes that can radically change your life!

Called Family! I've missed you all tremendously! I have some prophetic entrepreneurial insights I wanted to share with you that couldn't wait until the next official season. 

As we're getting closer to finishing out 2024, many of us are eager to get to the new year. But what if told you, you don't have to wait until January to do the thing God is calling you to do. Now is the time to sow. This week I wanted to drop a special episode to remind you that the thing you've been hesitant to start is worth the risk.

The greatest risk you'll ever take in life is not taking one - because as the old saying goes "where there is no risk, there is no reward".

We all place value on different things. Some people place it on their professional success, while others may place it on building a family. Regardless of what you deem most important, the one thing we all possess that is the most valuable is our name. 

This week, I want to delve into the importance of a name. What do people think when they think of you? What do potential investors or business partners say about you when you're not around? Does your name precede you well, or does it deter people from wanting to do business with you? You can have all the success in the world, but if you have a tarnished name, in reality, you have nothing. Your name can be your professional calling card, and today, I want to help you ensure that your name holds value. 

Family, I want you to be your absolute best, both personally and professionally. If you missed Called to Illuminate, I have some great news!

Called Leaders! I am thrilled to be back for this week's episode. We just wrapped up our Called to Illuminate Conference in Los Angeles this past Friday and Saturday and we had a powerful time filled with enlightening sessions, stellar speakers, and impactful networking. 

This week, I want to share some things that may be causing you to lose money if you're not doing them. Proverbs 27 talks about the importance of knowing the state of your flocks. In business, no matter how successful your enterprise may be, it's important to know the condition of your business and create structure that allows you to have longevity. 

Family, if you weren't able to make it to The Called, I have some exciting news for you.

In business, when you are trying to scale, people will often say that it's not just about what you know, but who you know. However, adopting this mindset can sometimes lead to a sense of desperation that is easily spotted by successful leaders. As we continue our series, "Business Wisdom Through the Scriptures," I want to pose to you this question: "Is Your Hunger Working Against You?"

In today's episode, we'll delve into Proverbs 23:1-4. These verses advise us to be wise in our interactions with influential people, and to not let our being "hungry" get the best of us. While it's imperative to assess the value of potential investors or business partners at the table, it's equally important for us to remember our personal value to not appear desperate in the room. This episode will teach you the dos and don'ts of doing business with influential people.

Also — Called Family, this Friday and Saturday, the Called to Illuminate conference in Los Angeles is happening, and as of now there are only a few seats left! We are just about sold out for our VIP experience and have a few standard seats remaining. If you're on the fence, take a leap of faith to be in the room. We'll be sharing practical tools, business wisdom, and insights to equip you along your entrepreneurial and leadership journey. Register now at www.calledleaders.com/events.

As leaders, each day of the week holds a different meaning for us all. Mondays typically motivate us to start the week strong and full of productivity, while Fridays may be a bit slower as many of us begin to prepare for a weekend of events or business travel. Regardless of the day, every day carries a weight of its own. However, there is one day that is most profitable when utilized correctly and consistently. Today, I'll provide more insight into the day I'm referring to and explain how beneficial it can be when you prioritize it weekly.

Family, we are just weeks away from Called to Illuminate! I'm excited to announce that we have partnered with Microsoft to bring you some amazing giveaways and resources. We'll be giving away 30 entry-level tickets to business and non profit leaders.

Called Family, we are back for Week 2 of our new series, "Business Wisdom Through the Scripture." In business and life, we're often encouraged to never settle and always pursue what we want. While I firmly believe we should always be in pursuit of our dreams, there are instances when settling with your opponent can actually work in our favor. 

This week, we'll be discussing the topic "Knowing When to Settle." Agreeing with your adversary is not something we often hear about in today's culture, but the Bible encourages us to settle things quickly. This valuable lesson is one that I've learned both the easy way and the hard way, so today, I want to share some tips and tools to help prevent you from falling into a similar situation. 

If you're enjoying this series and would like more tips and tools to succeed in life and business, I encourage you to join us on May 17th & 18th in Los Angeles for The Called Conference. It's going to be a phenomenal time, and I don't want you to miss out. At the end of this episode, I'll be sharing instructions for special pricing exclusively for Called listeners.

I'll be honest - the past few weeks have been challenging, and I'll dive deeper into that in this episode. However, I have come to realize that reaching new dimensions requires us to go through a period of demolition. Because at the end of it all, the breakdown makes us broader and more effective in every area of life. I want you to thrive in your businesses and organizations. But more importantly, I want you to succeed in becoming whole in every aspect of your life.

This week, I decided to flip the script and do things a bit differently. Normally, I discuss topics surrounding growth in leadership or ways to scale your business, but today might be the most vulnerable episode I've released to date. We discuss what it means to be CALLED to our respective spheres of influence, but if you don't get anything else, I want you to be Called to Wholeness.

Family, I'll be taking a few weeks to recharge to come back with fresh content. In the meantime, I encourage you to listen to some of the episodes you may have missed or revisit the ones that impacted you. Also, don't forget to register for Called to Illuminate which will take place in Los Angeles on May 17th & 18th.

Great leadership doesn't just stand still—it evolves. In Part 2 of this conversation, Sarah Jakes Roberts challenges leaders to move from being rooted to responsive. 

While your identity should always stay grounded, your leadership must remain agile. When leaders get stuck in sameness, they risk becoming irrelevant—similar to organizations that ignored the signs of change. 

Success isn't about repeating what worked last time; it's about being sensitive to the moment. From system design to mindset shifts, this episode explores how to identify when you're operating on autopilot—and when it's time to take back the controls. Because the outcomes may fluctuate, but the purpose should always remain.

In this session from the Called to Connect Conference, Sarah Jakes Roberts explores how a lack of vision—not a lack of talent—can cause leaders to miss their calling.

Referencing Proverbs 29:18, she unpacks how leadership isn't just about guiding people, but about stewarding a vision with depth, clarity, and conviction.

In Part 1, she breaks down the difference between traditional and visionary leadership, and how to bring true ownership to your current role—regardless of your title. If you've ever questioned your ability to lead, this episode will help you build confidence from the inside out.

Family, we've officially made it to the second half of the year. This is a time where many leaders track the progress they've made and decide what needs to be restructured in order to meet their goals. While we check our profits and losses within our companies, it's imperative that we take a moment to assess whether or not we've been profitable within. 

This week I'm going to talk about "The Economy of Self". Throughout this episode I'll pose some insightful questions to help you evaluate the progress you've made internally. If you set aside time to answer these questions transparently, I believe you will receive fresh creativity, new innovation, and groundbreaking ideas that will propel you forward.

We've all encountered seasons where our stability was threatened by unforeseen circumstances beyond our control. With inflation on the rise, significant shifts in our economy, and rumors of a looming recession - it's easy to feel uncertain about the times we're currently living in. But instead of succumbing to fear and doubt, we must educate ourselves about what's ahead so we can be prepared to build through a season that would otherwise try to break us down. 

Last Month, during the Called to Mastery Leadership Intensive, I sat down with my friend Jaylen Bledsoe, CEO of Bledsoe Collective and Managing Director of Flare Partners. Together, we shared insight and perspective about what building looks like in this season and gave practical tips on how we can maintain our peace and even increase our wealth in these tumultuous times. This is a timely conversation that I believe will help you continue to thrive in your area of business and leadership. 

Family, I am committed to helping you become all that you are CALLED to be. I'm going to continue giving you knowledge and wisdom so that you can win in life. In fact, I want you to mark your calendars because on April 22nd at 9am PST, I'm going to be having a conversation with the founder of Precision Planning Financial Group, Barry Queen II, WMCP as we talk about "Gaining A Financial Edge In Uncertain Times". You don't want to miss this conversation, register today as spots are very limited.
