    Oct 3 2023
    In this episode we discuss the importance of visionaries in business. Drawing from the gambler's mentality of yesteryear, we consider if this daring approach has a place in today's tech-focused world. Through the lens of industry titans such as Elon Musk, Jerry Jones, Steve Jobs, and Tony Fidel, we examine the founder archetypes. Lastly, we contemplate the impact of product quality and the need for quick market entry, reflecting on how the gifts God has given us can be used for His glory.

    Booming AI Market, Ethical Wealth Creation & Christian Responsibility
    Sep 27 2023
    Welcome to another episode of the Kings and Priests podcast where we uncover the intersections of faith, technology, and entrepreneurship. This time around, we dive into the current state of the AI market and discuss the extraordinary success of NVIDIA, which reported 13.5 billion in revenue last quarter. We also unpack the contentious debate unfolding on Twitter following Tucker Carlson's interview with Donald Trump that drew in over 120 million views. Listen in as we navigate this captivating discussion that delves into the impact of disruptive forces on traditional media and public discourse. We continue the journey into the AI world, discussing recent seed deals, including Ideogram AI, Combai, Wand, and Lex. These companies are revolutionizing the creative, development, and writing spaces, making them more efficient, fun, and accessible. We further explore the potential of AI in our products and its incredible predictive power. The episode peaks as we reveal our ambition to use AI to predict when someone is going to leave a church, turning data into preemptive tools for ministry. We round off our conversation by discussing the balance between capitalism and personal responsibility, highlighting the importance of due diligence and making investment choices that align with individual goals and financial freedom. In our closing thoughts, we reflect on what it means to be a Christian in business and how to avoid idolizing money. Join us as we ponder on these pressing questions, striving to bring a faith-based perspective to contemporary business and investment trends.

  • Exits, Cashflow & Everything In Between

    Exits, Cashflow & Everything In Between
    Aug 10 2023
    Join us for a riveting discussion where we unravel the psyche of successful entrepreneurs who, after a large exit, are keen on owning a cash-flowing business. As we tackle the paradox of one-time success versus the comfort of a consistent cash flow, we also address the possibility that 10 million may not suffice for a lifetime, hence the need for a business that provides a steady income stream. It's an eye-opening conversation about the fascinating world of business and entrepreneurship, where big exits are not the end-all, be-all. Kings & Priests is part of the Vast Podcast Network.
