Couples On Fire with Josh and Kristy Groce

Tribe!! Alex and Sarah are a married couple with two kids. They have built several successful businesses from Network Marketing to Financial Services. A number of these years were spent building teams and serving clients… separately. Alex and Sarah never ‘mixed’ their businesses or got involved with what the other spouse was doing. Keeping their opportunities separate led to spending precious time apart and ‘hustling’ becoming burnt out, and unfulfilled In 2018, they decided to team up together to create Abundance Daily Inc. This decision came as a realization that to achieve their goals it would be easier and more effective to work as a team rather than separate entities.  Today we talk about the need to serve other ambitious power couples through coaching and their T.E.A.M.W.O.R.K. model. You can find Alex and Sarah at Abundancedaily.com and set up your own coaching call.

Coaching and married life with, Alex and Sarah Dumas

Tribe!! As you all know I served proudly in our armed forces for over 17 years.  You learn a thing or two about leadership, but you also tend to think that those skills automatically transfer over when you leave the service.  Many entrepreneurs like myself found out the hard way.  My guest today is someone I am proud to not only call my friend, but family!  Chris Galluccio and I served together work on F-16 Fighter jets.  I was the guy who took care of the entire jet, but he was the guy who ensured the pilot ejections system was always ready to perform flawlessly.   The skills that we both acquired, attention to detail, ensuring that the paperwork was correct, communication, training, all of these and more we lived every day of our careers.  Chris has his own photography business, which you all have to not only follow, but check out because it is amazing!! You can check it out at www.ChristopherGalluccio.com but what he didn't realize was building a business wasn't anything like servicing, or repairing the ACES II ejection seats inside of the F-16.   Chris Created www.ThoughtsWordsActions.com and has his own course that he created that will help you, the military entrepreneur how to navigate the frustrations of building a business, but utilizing your skills that you learned while serving to your benefit.  Chris' knowledge about this subject is immense, and something that not only veterans can use, but entrepreneurs in general.   Tribe, don't forget to post on the FB page, www.facebook.com/faithfullyled.sean and let me know what you think!! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/faithfullyled/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/faithfullyled/support

TRIBE!!  Yes, I am now posting my interviews on You Tube so everyone can enjoy.  I recorded this episode yesterday with Pastor Steve Hinton.  I previously had him on the show a few weeks back, and if you didn't get a chance to check out that interview, I will post the link so you can listen in and get acquainted.    https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/faithfully-led/id1436626829?i=1000458226807      Pastor Steve called me last week and told me about a sermon he had given about fear. He hated if we could do a podcast together speaking about this since everyone is in limbo concerning how to move forward after quarantine.  I knew right away that this was a great idea, I just didn't know how God was going to come through our conversation.    We all have no idea what to expect after all of this, and many of us are going through an incredibly difficult time right now, and we all can't help but have some fear.  It's normal to fear, but what we don't want is for that fear to take over and control our ever thought that we have.   Pastor Steve and I go over some great points, and I even gave some detailed notes on what were talking about below so you can read and understand for yourself.  If you want to reach out, please don't hesitate to contact me directly on FB  www.facebook.com/faithfullyled.sean or on instagram @faithfully_led  I pray this helps you overcome your fear, and helps you put God at the center!
