Episode 365 - If God Owns It All, How Should You Build a Business? | Ron Blue

Who Owns It? Ron Blue on Money, Stewardship, and the Question That Changes Everything Join host Justin Forman for a wide-ranging conversation with legendary financial author, teacher, and serial entrepreneur Ron Blue. With decades of experience building Kingdom-minded financial institutions—including what is now Blue Trust, one of the nation's premier faith-based wealth management firms—Ron unpacks the timeless questions every entrepreneur must answer: Who owns it? How much is enough? And what does faithful stewardship actually look like when you're building something meant to outlast you? From counseling a heart surgeon in a million-dollar home to sitting with a grocery CEO in a trailer park, Ron's stories reveal that true contentment has nothing to do with net worth—and everything to do with whose name is on the deed. Key Topics: The three questions that unlock faithful stewardship: Who owns it? How much is enough? What's the finish line?
