THE CALLED

Most entrepreneurs think their greatest advantage is capital, connections, talent, or timing. But the builders who endure know something deeper.   Knowing is the true competitive edge.   In this episode, Touré Roberts introduces Knowing as the internal guidance system that reveals what to build, when to move, who to trust, and how to scale—before the evidence appears.

THE CALLED

Great leadership doesn’t just stand still—it evolves. In Part 2 of this conversation, Sarah Jakes Roberts challenges leaders to move from being rooted to responsive.  While your identity should always stay grounded, your leadership must remain agile. When leaders get stuck in sameness, they risk becoming irrelevant—similar to organizations that ignored the signs of change.  Success isn’t about repeating what worked last time; it’s about being sensitive to the moment. From system design to mindset shifts, this episode explores how to identify when you’re operating on...
