Should I Mix Faith and Business?
Ray Edwards Show
Can you mix your faith and your business? Should you bring Jesus to work? There are plenty of good Christians who believe those worlds should not mix (especially those good Christians with employees who may not hold the same beliefs). This week, I'd like to tackle this touchy topic with my son, Sean. Not only is he one of my favorite people to talk to, he's a fellow Christian, a fellow entrepreneur, and an employer with some insightful opinions on the separation of faith and business. ^^ Leave your comments there.

Ray Edwards Show
As you may know, I am quite the tech nerd. I enjoy checking out the latest AI gizmos, searching for things that are actually useful, productivity boosters (which I really need after wasting so much time playing with said gizmos). One of the more interesting tools I've found is Google's NotebookLM. You feed it a document and it generates a "podcast" about the contents using two artificial hosts. Since Black Friday is coming up, I decided I would test it using a blog post I wrote a couple of years ago that encouraged service-based businesses to do a Black Friday promotion. Was it...

Now Is The Time To Start A Business
Ray Edwards Show
I know not everyone who listens to my podcast is over 50, but God willing, someday you will be, so stick with me. 50 doesn't seem old these days (depending on who you're asking), but for many of us, it's when our bodies begin to show a little wear and tear. In our twenties, we might pull a muscle if we lift something too heavy...In our 50's, that same injury could be caused by a sneeze. My point is, some of the freedom we earn by being entrepreneurs becomes more of a necessity than a luxury. For instance, in the past few years, I have had a couple of surgeries that...
