In this inspiring episode of Business Story of the Week, we sit down with Kevin Elworth, a leadership coach, former pastor, and author of Breaking the I Can’t Cycle. Kevin dives deep into the power of effective communication as the lifeblood of any organization—whether in business or ministry. He shares his personal journey of launching a business, experiencing early failure, pivoting his approach, and finally finding traction by focusing on what others truly need—not just what he wanted to provide.

Kevin also opens up about building a discipleship process for churches, the challenges of engaging disengaged congregations, and how hiring a marketing firm was a leap of faith that started yielding results. Perhaps most powerfully, he reflects on how fear-based thinking holds us back, and how transforming your mindset can radically accelerate your life and business.

This is a conversation full of wisdom, vulnerability, and practical steps for any entrepreneur, leader, or changemaker ready to shift from frustration to forward motion.
