Am I Actually Making a Difference... or Just Hitting Numbers?

Send us Fan MailEpisode 20 is here. And this one is a big one because we're talking about something that's easy to lose sight of when you're busy building a career, growing a business, or working towards the next big thing. Who are you becoming while you're building it all? In this season finale, I sit down with David Ashcraft, who spent 32 years leading a church that grew from 150 people to around 22,000. But behind all that growth was a journey of adversity, character formation, and learning that leadership isn't just about what you accomplish. One thing that really stood out to me was David sharing what happened after he stepped away from the church. He had preached about how your identity isn't your title, but when the title was gone, he realized just how much of his own identity was tied to what he did. And honestly, I think that's something many of us don't realize until we have to let go of something we've spent years building. Because you can have the title, the recognition, the impressive results, and still be figuring out who you are without them. And sometimes, the very things we call success can distract us from the person we're becoming in the process. This conversation is a reminder that the goal isn't just to build something people admire. It's to become someone you can be proud of, someone whose character, faith, and values are reflected in the way they lead and live. Episode 20, Outcome vs. Identity, is here, and it's the season finale! Go listen and tell me what part of this conversation stayed with you.

Send us Fan MailEpisode 19 is here.Have you ever worked so hard to achieve something, only to get there and wonder why it doesn’t feel as good as you thought it would? I spent 21.5 years at Coca-Cola building teams, hitting targets, and working toward goals. When I retired, the titles, recognition, and structure I had built my life around were suddenly gone. I knew my career didn’t define me, but learning to live that truth was a different story. In this episode, I sit down with Chris Simpson, president and CEO of CBMC International, to talk about achievement, meaning, and the danger of tying our identity to power, recognition, and success. Chris shared how he was doing well professionally but began to notice something was missing at home, in his marriage, and in how he showed up for his family. It made me think about how easy it is to look successful on the outside while neglecting what matters most. Achievements can build your résumé, but they cannot be the foundation of your identity. You don’t have to wait until retirement to ask what you’re really building and who you’re becoming along the way. Episode 19 is here.

They discuss the difference between measuring output and impact, and what it means to lead in a way that leaves people and organizations better than they found them. From Preston's experience discovering significance during a mission trip to a Tijuana landfill to James' journey from corporate leadership to Prison Fellowship, this conversation challenges leaders to look beyond the scoreboard and consider who they are impacting, why they lead, and what ultimately matters. Timestamps [02:01] Success vs. Significance: Why hitting the numbers isn't the same as making a difference. [03:41] The Five Warning Signs: How leaders can confuse success with significance. [05:30] A Lesson in a Landfill: How one unexpected moment with Juan changed Preston's perspective. [07:21] Changing the Measurement: Moving from what was accomplished to who was impacted. [10:05] Meet James Ackerman: From media and entertainment to leading Prison Fellowship. [15:26] Your Life Is a Calling: Why faith and career don't have to be separate. [18:22] From My Significance to God's: How failure changed James' perspective on leadership. [20:00] Measuring Significance: Balancing business results with lasting impact. [23:50] Mission and the Marketplace: Why purpose and profit don't have to be either-or. [27:12] Learning Through Failure: How adversity can shape a better leader.

Send us Fan MailEpisode 18 is here!Great leadership isn’t formed in seasons when everything is going well. Sometimes, it’s adversity that reveals what kind of leader you’re becoming. You can build a successful career, reach your goals, and still find yourself wondering if there’s more to leadership than achievement. Preston and seasoned executive James Ackerman reflect on the adversity that shaped James, the experiences that pushed him outside his comfort zone, and how God used those seasons to restore him and make him a more compassionate leader. Sometimes the moments that challenge us most are the ones that reveal what really matters. If you’ve ever achieved what you thought you wanted and still found yourself wondering, “Is this all there is?” this conversation offers a deeper perspective on leadership, purpose, and what it means to grow through uncomfortable seasons. Watch the full conversation, link in bio! #leadershiplessons #leadershipgrowth #faithandleadership #christianleadership #purposefulleadershipAbout Preston PoorePreston Poore is a former Coca-Cola executive who practices what he preaches.

Send us Fan MailEpisode 17 is here. And this one really got me thinking about the difference between having faith and actually letting your faith shape the way you live and lead. In this episode, I sit down with Ashley Smalley, founder and CEO of Smalley Consulting, to talk about what it really looks like to bring your faith into the workplace without making it forced, performative, or complicated. One thing that really stood out to me was Ashley's story about a truck driver she worked with whose wife had passed away. She didn't preach to him. She didn't force a conversation about faith. She simply cared enough to remember the important dates, check in on him, and be present. And eventually, he asked her why she did it. Sometimes the way we live opens the door for the words to come later. This conversation is about faith, leadership, workplace culture, wisdom, relationships, and learning how to live the same life on Monday that we say we believe in on Sunday. Because maybe it's not about being louder about our faith. Maybe it's about letting it show up in how we treat people. Go listen and tell me what part of this conversation stayed with you.

They unpack what it means to move beyond simply carrying a Christian label and allow faith to shape how you lead, treat people, make decisions, and respond under pressure.From Preston's 25-year journey of compartmentalizing his faith and career to Ashley's practical approach to showing Christ through relationships, this conversation challenges leaders to consider whether their faith is something they talk about or something people can actually see.—Episode Highlights[01:55] Faith, Purpose, and Integration: Why faith can't stay separate from leadership.[05:30] The 25-Year Gap: Preston reflects on compartmentalizing faith and career.[10:28] Meet Ashley Smalley: Building Healthier Workplace Cultures Through Relationships.[14:23] Faith and Workplace Culture: How faith shapes the way leaders treat people.[19:30] Labels vs. Actions: Why actions speak louder than Christian labels.[21:13] Bringing Sunday into Monday: Learning to live out faith at work.[24:52] Love Without Preaching: Showing faith by caring for people.[26:23] Wisdom in the Moment: How prayer shapes Ashley's approach to clients.[31:05] When Faith Costs You Something: Why Living Out Your Faith Can Cost You Everything.[35:18] Don't Force It: Let faith shape you instead of turning it into a checklist.[37:43] Nehemiah's Model: What an integrated faith can look like at work.[40:00] Three Lessons for Christian Leaders: Integration, leadership, and surrender.Links & Resources Mentioned• Discipled Leader Apprenticeship: https://prestonpoore.com/  • Discipled Leader Book: https://prestonpoore.com/books-by-preston/  • How Is Greater Than What Book: https://prestonpoore.com/book/  • About Preston: https://prestonpoore.com/about-preston_poore/  • Ashley Smalley / Smalley Consulting: https://smalleyconsulting.com/• Faith at Work Podcast: Available wherever you listen to podcasts—Connect with meLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/prestonpoore/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PoorePreston  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/prestonpoore1/  —Closing thoughtsIf today's episode hit home, share it with someone who needs to hear it.
