Caring for People, Process, and Property

At the end of every podcast, we like to ask our guests to share what God has been teaching them in this season of life. This week’s guest is one of our favorite Faith Driven Entrepreneurs and Investors, Pete Ochs, and with him today is David Simnick, Founder of SoapBox Soaps.

Proverbs 27:23-24

Be sure you know the condition of your flocks,

    give careful attention to your herds;

24 for riches do not endure forever,

    and a crown is not secure for all generations.

I keep going back to Proverbs 27 where it encourages us to know the condition of our flocks. And I think part of our flock is people, process, and property. 

We need to know those really well. But it all starts with people and we really work diligently to try to make our business the best place to work so we really try to look after our people. But this has even heightened that for me. 

Normally we will have about 15 to 20 percent of our people in some kind of a small group. We had over 50 percent sign up here a couple of weeks ago in our last go round. And we've just seen the whole idea of faith and purpose has just been magnified during this time. 

And what we need to do as Christ-centered faith-driven entrepreneurs is to say we have the answer and let's share that. And so I just want to make sure that I'm being a good shepherd to the flock that God has given me.
