Don’t Hire Your Friends Until You Watch This

In this episode, I open up about one of the biggest leadership traps I’ve seen (and experienced) firsthand: hiring your friends. It might seem like a great idea early on, especially in a startup, but more often than not, it ends in broken trust and lost relationships.

I talk about how familiarity breeds contempt, why the shift in power dynamics can ruin a friendship, and the real cost of choosing comfort over clarity in your business. I’d rather protect the relationship than risk it for a role and I explain exactly why.

But that’s not all we cover.

We also dive into:

- How to handle competition in a Christlike way

- Why you need to protect what God has entrusted to you—your “castle”

- What to do when employees start relationships with each other

- The biblical take on partiality in business vs. in church

- Why I avoid sharing the Gospel with people who have no desire for it

- And how I think about friends as investors vs. partners

If you’re a Christian leader or entrepreneur navigating team building, competition, or faith in the workplace—this episode will challenge you to lead with wisdom, conviction, and discernment.

00:00 – Protect What God Has Entrusted
00:28 – Handling Competition in a Christlike Manner

I used to believe that happiness was the ultimate goal—until I realized it was actually leading me to frustration, emptiness, and even depression. In this episode of the Christian Business Mentor Podcast, I’m sharing a powerful mindset shift that will completely change how you experience fulfillment.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly chasing the next thing—whether it’s money, success, or even relationships—only to still feel unfulfilled, this episode is for you. I’ll break down why happiness will never satisfy you, and what you should aim for instead to experience real, lasting peace.
