    Josh Porter | What If Business Success Is The Easy Part?

    Josh Porter, PA-C, scaled from two clinic locations to five, nearly tripled revenue, and grew his team fast but the most important growth happened where nobody posts screenshots: in his marriage, his faith, and the story he tells himself when pressure hits. We talk with Josh, the founder of Optimize You, about what it really takes to lead through discomfort and why “more business tactics” is rarely the missing piece for a healthcare entrepreneur.  Josh walks us through the key moments that shaped the last year and a half: showing up to Create as a clinician in scrubs, taking a $50K leap into a mastermind community, and discovering how the right room can shift your vision and your courage. Then we get into the Atlanta breakthrough that hits every leader with imposter syndrome right in the chest: naming “I’m not enough,” tracing it back to childhood loss, and realizing his son carries the same belief. That moment leads to a daily practice of rewriting identity, not just refining strategy.  We also unpack the practical outcomes: revenue growing from about $1.7M to $3.9M, expanding from two locations to five, going from around 10 employees to 21, and building a culture rooted in service even while operating in a competitive healthcare space like hormone clinics. Along the way, Josh shares why vulnerability and safety create better leadership, how brotherhood showed up during a hard marriage season in Sundance, and why bringing your spouse and your team into the vision changes everything.  If you care about faith-based entrepreneurship, clinic growth, leadership development, and real work-life balance, press play now. After you listen, subscribe, share this with a founder who feels alone, and leave a review with the biggest belief you’re rewriting this year.

    The Foundation Frequency That Unlocks Next Levels

    A door doesn’t open because you want it to, it opens when the right signal hits the receiver. That’s the picture I can’t stop thinking about as I introduce the 14 Frequencies of Proximity and why I’ve taught for years that proximity is a cheat code. When you look back at your biggest growth moments in faith, health, relationships, business, or finances, chances are they’re tied to a relationship and a decision to get closer to the right people and to God. We start with Frequency #1: faith, the foundation frequency. I unpack Hebrews 11:1 and ask the question most of us avoid because it forces clarity: what are you hoping for? Not a general “I’m trusting God,” but a specific, written-down, prayed-through target you can actually name. Then we walk through Mark 10 and blind Bartimaeus, where Jesus asks, “What do you want me to do for you?” Bartimaeus answers with simple precision: “I want to see.” That moment is a blueprint for specific faith and bold prayer. I also share pieces of my own story, from coming to Christ to building daily habits that keep my faith strong, plus why accountability and clear goals mattered in my health journey. If you’re a faith-based entrepreneur or Christian leader who wants stronger spiritual disciplines, better relationships, and a clearer path forward, this is your starting line. Subscribe for the next frequency, share this with a friend who needs clarity, and leave a review so more people can find the show. What are you hoping for right now?

    Coaching with Ken | 14 Frequencies of Proximity

    If you’ve ever wondered why you can have big goals, strong work ethic, and solid routines yet still feel stuck, we think the answer is closer than you realize. Proximity is a cheat code, and we’re kicking off a brand new series built around Ken Jocelyn’s upcoming book, 14 Frequencies of Proximity. The premise is direct: our life doesn’t move by intention, it moves by proximity. When the signals around you are wrong, progress feels heavy. When the signals are right, momentum starts to look inevitable. We unpack the “key fob” metaphor that inspired the book research, and why the problem is rarely the door. It’s the frequency or the distance from the reader. From there, we walk through the Core Five framework we use with faith-based entrepreneurs: faith, health, relationships, business, and finances. You’ll hear how frequencies like stillness, consistency, authenticity, encouragement, honor, vision, servanthood, culture, generosity, and accountability aren’t just nice ideas, they’re practical dials you can turn to become the kind of person opportunity is attracted to. Along the way, we share stories that make it real: a fifth grade teacher who changed everything with encouragement, mentors who helped unlock the next level, a friend who held Ken accountable to steward his marriage, and even the classic Contra cheat code that made the lesson unforgettable. If you want better leadership, stronger relationships, healthier habits, and smarter stewardship, this series gives you a clear path. Subscribe, share this with a friend who feels stuck, and leave a review so more people can find the show. Which “frequency” do you want to tune first?
