Lewis wrote and shared his insights about one of the biggest temptations many of us face: the desire to be part of an “inner ring” and the fear of feeling like an “outsider.” Today we go a tad deeper into Mr. Lewis’ insights.

    I started my career back in October 1965, while I was still a senior in high school, working part-time at Phipps Piano Company in Birmingham, AL. I loved helping customers find British VOX amps and VOX Phantom Guitars. After graduating in June 1966, I worked full-time in retail until January 2, 1971, when I had the exciting opportunity to join St. Louis Music as a territory sales representative. This journey has been filled with great experiences and opportunities to grow. Back then, I wanted to know: How much can I sell? How successful can I become? When can I afford to buy a Cadillac? How far can I go up the ladder? Today, the question is different. What am I building that will survive? Because one day, according to the Apostle Paul, everything I’ve built will be tested. Not by customers. Not by managers. Not by shareholders. By fire. “The trustworthy person will get a rich reward, but a person who wants quick riches will get into trouble.”— Proverbs 28:20 NLT This is a public episode.

    When I was writing the script for this episode, I could not help but think about how my family, friends, colleagues, listeners, and readers would view me. What lens have I created that filters their view or vision of me? This way of thinking can become what is referred to as the trap of the looking-glass, or, as Zig Ziglar is famous for cautioning against, “stinking thinking. Today I unpack my feelings about The Looking Glass. This is a public episode.

    What makes a father’s heart swell… to the point of tears? It’s not the awards. It’s not the paycheck. It’s not the applause. It’s watching his child choose the right path when no one else is watching. Today’s Proverb paints a powerful picture—“When a father observes his child living in godliness, he is ecstatic with joy—nothing makes him prouder! So may your father’s heart burst with joy and your mother’s soul be filled with gladness because of you.”—Proverbs 23:24-25 TPT A parent overwhelmed with joy, not because of success…but because of character. And whether you’re a parent, a mentor, or someone investing in others in the marketplace, this one goes deeper than business. Because the greatest return on investment you’ll ever see… is a life you helped shape… walking in truth. Cory Patton, executive director of Just Abide Daily Ministries, joins me today to share his experience as a son and a father. This is a public episode.

    You Don’t Need a Title to Lead—But You Need This You’ve likely heard the phrase, 'Leadership is influence.' However, my experience has shown that not all influence is equal. Some individuals exert pressure or push, some rely on their position, but true influence comes from inspiring genuine followership. Proverbs 22 reminds us of this kind of life. While force might produce quick results, it doesn’t create sustainable impact. So, here’s the key question: Are you leading because people are compelled to follow, or because they genuinely trust you? This is a public episode.
