Ep 14: In this episode, we sit down with Braeden Parsons, a business architect and strategist known for helping entrepreneurs scale with precision and clarity. But behind the strategies and success lies a deeper story—one of faith, family, and a relentless pursuit of alignment over approval.

Braeden grew up in a family of nine, right in the middle of seven siblings. While others followed traditional paths, he knew early on that the 9-to-5 wasn’t for him. By age 11, he was selling wallets on the school bus. But the real journey began when he picked up a lawnmower and an audiobook: Expert Secrets by Russell Brunson. That moment sparked a fire that never went out.

But the road wasn’t easy. After choosing to skip college in favor of a high-ticket mentorship, Braeden faced rejection from his own grandfather—and a breakdown that brought him to church, wracked by chronic anxiety. It was in that church, crying out to God, that he had a life-altering encounter.

Now a highly successful business strategist, high-impact messaging wizard, and founder of Sovereign Entrepreneur—Braeden shares what it’s like to hold fast to faith when everything external screams otherwise, why money can become a cage, and how true freedom only comes when you’re aligned with what God made you to do.

Why listen?

If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck in a cycle of hustle and exhaustion, constantly chasing success without ever feeling truly fulfilled, this episode is for you. Discover:

🔥 The importance of finding peace and purpose over achievement, and how true success comes from alignment—not hustle.

🔥 The power of a divine encounter and how his faith radically changed the way he approaches life and business.

🔥 The real meaning behind “freedom” and how to create it on your own terms.

🔥 The power of small, meaningful decisions in shifting your life’s direction.

🔥 Why embracing a leadership mindset that serves others is key to sustainable growth, both personally and professionally.

This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s a raw, vulnerable, and hope-filled look at how God meets us in our mess, not after we “make it.”

Whether you’re in business, ministry, or just figuring out your next move—this story will remind you that you're not behind. You're being aligned.

Ep 12: We all want success—but are you actually owning it? Or just performing it? 🤔

You’ve heard the phrase fake it till you make it, but what if that mindset is actually holding you back? What if the very thing keeping you from true success isn’t a lack of skills, talent, or connections—but the way you see yourself?

In this fire-packed episode, Bart & Sunny Miller rip the mask off the silent struggle that’s keeping high-achievers stuck in imposter mode—constantly chasing, proving, and never fully stepping into their power. Are you showing up as the real you? Or are you unknowingly hiding behind a version of yourself that feels acceptable to others? 🚨

No sugarcoating. No playing small. Just the real, raw truth about stepping into your power without apology.

Why listen?

If you’ve ever felt like you’re almost there but something invisible is holding you back, this episode will reveal what it is and how to break through it.

🔥 The real difference between “fake it till you make it” and truly embodying success (and why one works while the other backfires).

🔥 How men and women navigate power differently—and why balancing both masculine and feminine energy is the key to thriving.

🔥The hidden ways women dim their own light—whether it’s avoiding leadership, overthinking decisions, or waiting for permission.

🔥 Why many entrepreneurs subconsciously hide behind a “leader” instead of owning their own space—and how to stop playing small.

🔥 How to get out of your own way and into creation mode and how to know when you’re stepping into the fullest version of yourself.

It’s time to stop second-guessing and start owning your power. Are you ready? Let’s go. 🎧🔥
