What does Ken Joslin believe is the real purpose of networking?
They're going to hit this golden zone where they're independent enough. They're fun. They have their own opinions and they actually still want to hang out with you.
You operate with character. You are operate with integrity. You operate with grace.
We all search for this external utopia that just doesn't exist for 45 minutes to an hour. I am completely disconnected by space from any technology.
The biggest cheat code we have in our life is proximity. You're only two things away from the next level. Right relationship, right information. Because all the information isn't the right information.
I appreciate your time so much. There's so many things that I want to talk about. I want to talk about your new book, but I'd like to start with, and I want to spend some time in our conversation around the integration of faith into business. Because This is something that I wear on my sleeve. I have faith over fear on my arm. I have a big cross up here. I try to read the Bible every single day. I won't say that I am, you know, by any means like the perfect Catholic or Christian, but for sure, I try to have a relationship with God.
How did Ken Joslin transition from pastor to successful entrepreneur?
And I've never been the guy who wants to push my faith on people, but I want it to be, I want people to know that if they're gonna do business with me or be my friend or interact with me, this is a part of my life. And as someone who has made it their mission to help faith-based entrepreneurs,
What are the two key elements to reach the next level in business?
What is the, how does, how does an entrepreneur, how does a business owner, how does someone find their balance for how they want to integrate and talk about their faith in their business, right? I know this is probably a, there's no one answer. So, so how do they start to think through that process?
Yeah, I don't know that there's ever a balance. I don't think there's a like, I'm going to be Christian one minute, or I don't even use the word Christian a lot. I use Christ follower. I pastored for 13 years. You're one of the largest youth ministries in the country from 96 to about 2001. And then back into full-time vocational ministry in 2008, 2009, where I planted a church and I pastored that church. We grew that to several hundred people for about six years, seven years. And when you say like, how do we integrate the two together? You know, everything that we do here at GrowthStack Drive is really geared around our core five framework, which is faith, health, relationship, business, and finances.
And it really is all the components that make us as human beings. It's really who we are.
Why is authenticity considered a 'cheat code' in networking?
And I tell entrepreneurs all the time that the faith, health, and relationship components really are the foundation that when we get those in alignment, it gives God the opportunity to then build relationships a successful business and then give us the finances that we are called to steward. We don't own, we're stewards. Like we manage those resources for God. And when we do that the right way and we really focus on becoming the best version of ourselves and our faith, health, and relationships, It's amazing how the business side and the finance side, bro, it's almost organic. So what does that look like for me to be a Christ follower and be a business guy? Do I operate with character? Do I operate with integrity?
Do I operate with grace? Do I, Genesis 128 and 129 says we're created in God's image. Well, when you look in the Hebrew, the Hebrew is great, man. If you've ever done any kind of study on, I have like a Greek Hebrew study Bible. So I can go in and literally look at the Hebrew words in Genesis. Well, if you go in Genesis 128 and 129, that literally means that we're a reflection of the character and nature of God. We're a mirror. So everywhere that we go, dude, we should reflect the character and nature of who God is in everything that we do. It's not like... I grew up in Detroit. We've been talking basketball all fair. I love basketball, but dude, I will go hood rat on you in about two seconds on the basketball court.
So I had to learn, how do I take Jesus on the basketball court with me?
