In this heart-filled and high-energy episode, Jeremiah Isley welcomes longtime friend and multi-business owner Kevin Nisly to In The Ellipsis. From falling off a roof to selling award-winning candy bars, Kevin's journey is full of divine twists and turns. He shares how an early injury, a powerful mentorship, and a leap of faith turned into a decades-long career in fundraising, real estate, coffee roasting, and purpose-driven entrepreneurship. With candid honesty, Kevin breaks down the highs and lows of running multiple ventures—including Diamond Fundraising, J&K Distribution, and Rusty Creek Coffee—while raising a family and navigating major life transitions.

From homemade coffee roasters to eBay auctions to shipping subscriptions across the country, his story is a testament to faith, hustle, humility, and heart. If you’ve ever wondered how to turn small beginnings into something beautiful (and caffeinated), this episode delivers.

Left Hand Turns with Ed Pizza

In this sharp, funny, and wisdom-packed episode, host Jeremiah Isley welcomes longtime friend, restaurateur, and serial podcaster Ed Pizza (aka Edward Pizzarello). From nearly flunking high school to co-owning every Five Guys restaurant in Nevada, Ed walks us through a series of literal and figurative left turns that defined his career. He shares candid insights on entrepreneurial pivots, learning to fail fast, and the value of knowing when a hobby is just a hobby — and when it's something more.

Ed reflects on major wins and spectacular missteps, including a 10-year venture into eco-friendly dry cleaning and investing in startups through a Shark Tank-style lens. The conversation covers everything from the behind-the-scenes struggles of podcasting to the emotional rollercoaster of writing $25k checks into early-stage companies. It's a heartfelt look at the risks, rewards, and real talk of building a portfolio life with purpose.
