Ep 008 | When Who You Are at Church Isn't Who You Are at Work | feat. Calvin Quek

Most leaders can name the moment they realized the person they are at work and the person they are on Sunday had drifted apart. In this conversation, Colt sits down with Calvin Quek to talk about that gap and how it tends to form. Calvin was 23 and clearing over a hundred thousand a year in tech sales, in an office with a beer fridge and a standing month-end ritual at the bar downstairs, and he is candid about how hard it was to follow Christ and still belong there. You'll hear why the gap usually shows up as loneliness rather than anything dramatic, how one question at a generosity retreat ("what is the finish line?") reshaped his sense of what enough looks like, and how his thinking moved from tithing on profits to stewarding the whole business. Calvin also reflects on the season after a partnership ended, what he learned about identity when the title went away, and why he would tell his younger self to trust that God has a plan.ABOUT THE GUESTCalvin Quek is the founder of Bright Mark, a consulting firm that implements Salesforce and marketing automation for growing businesses, nonprofits, and Christian ministries.
