About this listen

This isn’t just another show. It’s a space for motivated individuals who feel called to build something that lasts — in business, in family, in faith. We’re talking legacy, grit, brotherhood, courageous stewardship. The kind that costs something… and changes everything. Each episode, we’ll dive into real conversations — not just theory, but the trenches. The wins, the wounds, and the wisdom that comes from walking it out. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a leader, a parent, or just someone asking, “What am I really here for?” — this is for you. Let’s build what matters.Sean Skiver and Jake Tracy Economics Leadership Management & Leadership

  • Episode 15: Know the Importance of Your Inner Circle
    Jan 21 2026

    They say you are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with - but as a Courageous Steward, your circle is about more than just "hanging out." It's about mission, accountability and growth.

    In this episode, we dive deep into the intentionality behind your inner circle. Whether you are leading a team, building a business, or navigating a personal transition, the people in your "boat" determine how fast and how far you can row. We explore why stewardship starts with your relationships and how to identify the voices that empower you versus those that drain your vision.

  • Episode 14: Fortune is Made in the Follow-Up
    Jan 14 2026

    In this essential episode of Courageous Stewards, we challenge the myth of the overnight success and dive deep into the unseen discipline that builds true wealth, impact, and legacy: The Follow-Up. Most people give up after 1 or 2 tries. We show you why that's a profound mistake and why the true opportunity lives between the 5th and 12th touch and the relationship that develops.

    This episode will rewire your approach from hustle to stewardship, providing you with the mindset and systems to cultivate the relationships that matter most.

    What You'll Learn to Master:

    1. Why the follow-up is a Stewardship Discipline, not a sales tactic.

    2. Overcoming the emotional laziness and fear of rejection that prevents most people from being consistent.

    3. The critical shift: Moving from simply "checking in" to adding value in every single interaction.

    4. How establishing strong systems protects your future self and ensures your best ideas don't fall through the cracks.

    Stop chasing new leads and start cultivating the fortune you already have. This is the difference between a quick win and a lasting legacy.

    TUNE IN: Embrace consistency and unlock the compounding power of the follow-up.
