Tune in for actionable steps, inspiring encouragement, and a call to pursue both professional and personal fulfillment God's way.

| 0:12.0 | Live Out Loud team here to do a fun interview style show together to help us go deeper in a biblical |

| 0:26.5 | Sam, welcome to the show. |
| 0:28.5 | Thanks, Brooke, for having me. |
| 0:29.9 | So I've been so intrigued as to why you're focusing on sales during the summer because |
