More Than Ambition
Unscripted, voice-memo-style conversations about biblical discipleship and business development hosted by Dusty Hegge (that's me!).
(formerly Voice Memos from Dusty)
We'll talk through topics like strategic operations, seeking God's will, leadership, marketing, navigating ADHD as a driven entrepreneur, goal setting, and the theology of work, play, and ambition.
I'm a mom of 3, business strategist, and mentor for ministry-minded authors, coaches, and leaders who are ready to turn holy ambition into strategic action - because we need more men and women stewarding into their God-given roles with joy and confidence (not in ourselves, but in our God who is Love himself.)
We'll laugh a lot, get REAL close real fast, and I promise to do my best to point you to Jesus every step of the way. It's gonna be fun!
