//178: How to Navigate Your Business Dreams with God as A Christian Entrepreneur with Melanie Kendall

There are seasons in our lives as Christian entrepreneurs when dreaming with God feels effortless and exhilarating. Yet, there are also seasons when it seems daunting and even impossible. Regardless of which season you find yourself in right now, I want to remind you of this powerful truth: God deeply cares about your dreams. He delights in hearing the desires of your heart, right down to the smallest details.

In this episode, I have the privilege of hosting my client and dear friend, Melanie, owner of Anne & Grace Boutique who will share her personal journey of dreaming with God and the awe-inspiring ways He showed up in her life and business. Together, we explore the significance of mindset and heartset in the process to allow you to dream with God again!

Join us as we dive deep into the conversation, encouraging and motivating you to embrace vulnerability and pour out your heart's desires before God, holding nothing back, no matter how big or small.

//177: Embracing AI: Empowering Entrepreneurs with Faith and Technology with Rowena Bolo

In this episode of the Seek First CEO podcast, Heather welcomes her friend and special guest Rowena, an entrepreneur who has embraced the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in her business. They have an open conversation about the role of AI in the marketplace and how it can be utilized to further business goals while staying true to their faith.

Rowena, originally from the Philippines and now based in Melbourne, Australia, shares her entrepreneurial journey. She initially aspired to build an SEO agency but realized it was leading to burnout and strained relationships. Recognizing that she had made her business an idol, Rowena underwent a journey of healing and deliverance, guided by her faith. She shifted her focus to using AI to assist podcasters and Christian entrepreneurs in spreading their message and achieving their God-given vision.

Heather and Rowena discuss the power of AI as an assistant rather than a replacement for humans. AI has the ability to process vast amounts of data and provide valuable insights and content quickly. Rowena emphasizes the importance of incorporating a human touch to the AI-generated content, allowing for personalization and maintaining authenticity.

They also explore the benefits of AI in SEO and content creation. Rowena mentions the AI tools she recommends, such as Castmagic IO for podcasters and Content at Scale for comprehensive content creation. These tools can streamline processes, save time, and generate high-quality content, making them valuable resources for entrepreneurs.

Throughout the conversation, Heather and Rowena emphasize the importance of aligning AI usage with their faith and ensuring it serves as a tool rather than becoming an idol. They encourage listeners to explore the possibilities of AI in their businesses while staying true to their values and maintaining their unique voices.

Overall, this episode provides valuable insights into the potential of AI in the business world, particularly for podcasters and entrepreneurs, while emphasizing the importance of maintaining a strong foundation in faith.

Nothing quite seemed to fit until she leaned into what I spoke into her one coaching call. It's been SO fun to watch her take leaps of faith and flourish and I can't wait for you to get a little taste of her.

Cierra's journey is one worth listening to because it's full of wisdom, revelation, surrender, and supernatural success that only comes from partnering with God! Get ready to be inspired and encouraged and if you stay until the end, she has a special gift just for YOU!
