The Called Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

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.
