When was the last time you got some great guidance? Maybe you were starting a new business or sorting out a relationship. But the counsel you received shifted it all in a positive direction and helped you see things dramatically different. This is what Good Guides can do for us. They are people who are further along the journey than you, but have something to offer that you don’t have at the moment— to see things differently or explore new possibilities that encourage you to take new risks and venture out in new ways. They help you level up in your life.

That’s why I want to share with you a new podcast series on Good Guides. You’ll hear from people who I know and respect who have both offered guidance and been on the receiving end of it. But what I have come to believe is that we can’t get to new levels in life without good guidance along the way. In the first episode, you’ll hear me share what Good Guides have meant to me and how it has been so critical to my development. So, join us as we discuss what makes a good guide and some important counsel people have received that significantly impacted their lives. Who knows, maybe it will impact yours too!

How do you feel about your creative abilities? Are you someone who sees yourself as creative, not creative at all, or have you never really thought about it? What does creativity have to do with being part of the story of humanity? I wanted to speak to my friend Jason Squires about all of this.

Jason is a coach who works with leaders who create. Starting in the music industry, Jason has been teaching, singing, and traveling around the United States supporting music leaders. This eventually led him to starting a coaching business for creative leadership. But I especially love how he views creativity because, much like me, he believes everyone has the innate potential to be creative. And the beliefs he holds around humanity’s ability to create are inspiring.

We also dove deep into the content from my book, Grace Space, which Jason endorsed!

Whether you see yourself as creative or not, join us as we discuss the importance around creativity and how it can look uniquely in every type of person. This is a conversation around the beliefs we hold, how some change and others ground us, as well as the power of living with a commitment to creativity no matter what line of work you are in.

Jason Squires is a worship leader, songwriter, and storyteller. Jason travels nationally leading worship and teaching at conferences. Along with being an artist, Jason is the Director of The Creative Launch which is an organization designed to help creatives have the tools to thrive. Jason does that by one on one coaching. Jason’s passion is leading people to Jesus through creativity and inspiring creatives to reach their full potential. You can catch Jason on his weekly podcast called The Table streaming on all major podcast platforms. Jason married his wife in 2007, has three daughters, and together they reside in Northern California.

Have you ever known a person that has the ability to be totally honest with themselves and doesn’t flinch at the uncomfortable truths surfacing? This is who I know Dawn Neldon to be. Which is why I asked her to join me in my Beliefs series to talk about going from scarcity to hope.

I have watched Dawn over the years face some hard truths– no matter how unsettling– and most importantly, do something about it. Her transformation from a mindset of scarcity to hope has been a joy to witness. The reason I know this so well is because I have had the privilege of being in a coaching relationship with Dawn. I saw firsthand her fierce tenacity to change the path she was on in pursuit of the life she was made for. Join us in this conversation as you hear Dawn modeling the 3Cs– Clarity, Confidence, and Courage in the spaces she lives and leads.

Dawn Neldon is the dynamic force behind Sunbeam Social, a pioneering marketing firm designed to empower small businesses and passionate entrepreneurs, particularly women, to shine online. With a sharp focus on creating human connections.
