Create with Franz

As the CEO of SOS Leadership, Billy has spent his life answering one question: Why do talented leaders get stuck?

From operator to architect of your life
Create with Franz
Is your daily to-do list stopping you from actually enjoying your life? We’ve all been there—buried under "grunt work," feeling like a tiny cog in a giant machine.

How to Become Rich in 2026: the wealth strategy no one is talking about
Create with Franz
"If you feel like you're working hard but still leaking money, it's not an income problem—it’s an architecture problem.” Most people believe their financial struggle is an income problem. They think a higher salary or a sudden windfall is the "miracle" they need. But the truth is, you cannot pour a gallon of blessing into a one-ounce cup. If your financial architecture is broken, more money will only expose more leaks. In this episode, Terence Townsend—author of Financial Prudence: The Way of the Kingdom—reveals how he went from a homeless minister with a wife and four children to...
