                                    <description><![CDATA[In this episode, we dive into one of the most important distinctions a leader or entrepreneur can make: are you building a kingdom or an empire? Drawing from Oz Guinness' Calling, historical figures like Alexander the Great, Napoleon, and others, and biblical characters including David, Solomon, and Job, we explore how self-focused building leads to emptiness, despair, and a tortured existence — no matter how much is accumulated. We contrast that with what it looks like to build with a Christ-centered purpose, and why that makes all the difference in experiencing the joy, peace, and freedom we're all ultimately after. If you've ever felt the weight of the entrepreneurial grind and wondered why it's not bringing you what you expected, this episode is for you. We also share practical ways to stay anchored to your calling and avoid the drift toward empire that every leader faces.]]></description>

        <itunes:summary>Jory Evans dives deep into John Eldredge’s ”Fathered by God,” breaking down the six crucial stages every man must navigate: Boyhood (0-12), Cowboy (13-19), Warrior (20-30), Lover (30-40), King (midlife), and Sage (elder years). He challenges the ”toxic masculinity” narrative, arguing that men are designed to be warriors - dangerous but under control. Using biblical examples, particularly Jesus as a warrior who fashioned whips and overturned tables, Jory makes the case that weakness is not godly. He shares personal stories, including a haunting experience where he failed to act as a warrior for his family, and explains how skipping stages leads to immature leadership. The episode emphasizes that God wants to walk men through each stage purposefully, building them into protectors, providers, and eventually wise mentors who steward their influence for God’s kingdom rather than their own empire.</itunes:summary>

Drawing on Wild at Heart, Fathered by God, and the true saga Endurance, the hosts unpack three core longings of men—a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue. They explore the inner wound and the nagging question “Do I have what it takes?”, contrast God’s voice with the enemy’s lies, and show how misdirected masculinity turns destructive. With vivid stories, statistics, and practical examples—work, family, risk, and leadership—the episode challenges men to pursue purpose, cultivate healthy adventure, and love sacrificially, anchoring identity in God rather than approval or infatuation.</p>

After 18 years of marriage while building multiple businesses, we're sharing the real challenges that destroy entrepreneurial marriages and the specific strategies that saved ours.</p>
<p>In this episode, we dive deep into:
• The 5 biggest threats to entrepreneurial marriages (financial strain, neglect, conflicting goals, stress, and risk-taking personalities)
• Why we got married at 18 &amp; 19 despite everyone's opposition - and why it worked
• The "core four" system that keeps our family aligned while building businesses
• Love languages, communication strategies, and the "same team" mindset that changed everything
• Why we prioritize our marriage over our kids (controversial but effective)
• The stay-at-home spouse "hack" that unleashed business growth
• How to serve your spouse's needs without losing your entrepreneurial edge</p>
<p>Whether you're building a business, planning to start one, or just want a stronger marriage, this conversation reveals the practical systems and mindset shifts that help couples thrive together instead of growing apart.</p>
<p>Warning: We get real about money fights, communication failures, and the mistakes that almost derailed us in the early years. This isn't theory - it's 18 years of trial, error, and hard-won wisdom.</p>

He methodically breaks down each component - "Built," "To," and "Lead" - to explain his belief that humans are created by God with intentional purpose, designed to serve others through leadership. Evans contrasts this worldview with secular perspectives, arguing that understanding our divine creation provides the "why" necessary for sustained motivation and fulfillment. He explores how knowing our Creator helps us discover our gifts and calling, emphasizing that true leadership is about servanthood rather than dominion over others. The discussion covers finding purpose through relationship with God, the importance of leading oneself first, and how entrepreneurship can be a vehicle for positive impact and stewardship. Evans concludes by explaining why he focuses on business leaders and entrepreneurs - because of their multiplying influence on communities and their ability to create significant positive change when they lead with purpose and serve others well.</p>

        <itunes:summary>In this episode of the ”Built to Lead” podcast, host Jory delves into the critical topic of leading through adversity—a subject particularly relevant in today’s challenging times. Jory begins by defining adversity as difficulties and misfortunes that are inevitable in life, especially for those in leadership roles or running a business. He acknowledges that adversity comes in many forms, such as economic downturns, accidents, competition, changes in laws or technology, and social shifts, emphasizing that leaders must be prepared to face these challenges head-on.

Throughout the discussion, Jory highlights common pitfalls leaders should avoid when confronted with adversity, such as abdicating responsibility, panicking, blaming external factors, or deviating from core values and integrity. He proposes a structured five-step approach for effective leadership during tough times:

Step into the leadership void by taking charge and providing stability.
Face the brutal facts to understand the reality of the situation.
Avoid blaming external factors and take responsibility for finding solutions.
Get to the root of the problem by identifying underlying issues rather than surface-level symptoms.
Solve and execute a plan to overcome the adversity, ensuring actions are based on solid data and collective input.
Additionally, Jory stresses the importance of the leader’s mindset, advocating for an abundance mentality that sees adversity as an opportunity for growth rather than a setback. He encourages leaders to absorb the uncertainty of others, maintain open communication, and provide encouragement without ignoring the challenges at hand. By asking functional questions like ”What can we control?” and ”What needs to change?” leaders can navigate their teams through difficult times effectively. The episode concludes with a reminder that while adversity is unavoidable, being prepared and adopting the right strategies can lead to successful outcomes and stronger leadership.</itunes:summary>

        <itunes:summary>Jory and Tyler tackle an often overlooked but essential aspect of business success: preparation, processes, and systems. While the entrepreneurial dream is an influx of demand, Jory emphasizes that businesses can quickly become overwhelmed and struggle to deliver without the right systems in place.

The duo discusses the importance of proactively creating processes that allow a business to scale, reducing complexity, and stress-testing systems to handle rapid growth. Jory shares examples from his own experience, such as streamlining vehicle maintenance, and provides a practical framework for entrepreneurs to evaluate their own operations.

They also touch on the ”unnatural” work of stepping back to implement systems, the value of simplicity, and the role of human capital. Jory leaves listeners with actionable advice, including using a 10X thought exercise to identify weaknesses and making time to work ”on” the business, not just ”in” it. This episode provides a roadmap for entrepreneurs looking to build businesses equipped for scalable success.</itunes:summary>

        <itunes:summary>This episode is part of our new series, ”Move the Needle,” where we delve into the art of personal growth and progress.

1️⃣ The Power of Progress: Life is a journey, and there’s no such thing as a plateau. We’re either moving forward or sliding back. It’s easy to get knocked off track by life’s challenges, but the key is to be intentional in our actions and set clear goals. Remember, even small progress is still progress. So, let’s focus on playing the long game and making consistent, gradual strides.

2️⃣ Integrity Matters: Integrity is about being honest, having strong moral principles, and being consistent in our actions. It’s about keeping promises to ourselves, building trust, and having faith in our ability to take action. Let’s strive to maintain integrity in all we do.

3️⃣ Believe in the Process: To make progress, we must truly believe in the outcomes and have faith that our actions will lead to results. It’s not about hitting a home run every time, but about consistent progress. Let’s keep our faith in the process and maintain discipline to keep moving ahead.</itunes:summary>

        <itunes:summary>In this episode, Jory shares his experiences and insights on how business owners can move from working long hours in the technician role to developing systems and teams that allow them to scale up their companies. He discusses the common struggles solopreneurs face as their workload and responsibilities increase, which often leads to burnout and business failure.

Jory stresses the importance of quantifying and analyzing your business operations through accurate data so you can confidently set pricing, efficiency benchmarks, and make other key decisions. He talks about the concept of ”proving your model” - developing the standard operating procedures and rules needed to duplicate your successful business.

He then explains how you have to break down your business to its smallest units, giving examples like revenue per mile in trucking and billable hours in a mechanic shop. This allows you to understand your true costs and profitability so you can scale up with confidence.

A large focus is on hiring the right people, not just with the right skills but who match your company’s values and personality. Jory shares lessons learned from early hiring failures due to lack of support for employees. He discusses how proper quantification removes the fear and emotions from hiring.

Jory ends by emphasizing you can’t scale your business alone. You have to duplicate yourself by developing excellent systems and metrics and hiring those who complement your weaknesses. This allows you to work on your business instead of just working in your business.</itunes:summary>
