Refusing to serve Joe Biden ice cream and the lessons learned

Today's episode is a real treat. I had the pleasure of chatting with Chris McMurray, a pastor, author, business coach, and serial entrepreneur. Chris has a fascinating story that's been covered by national media, and he's the author of the book "Food Stamps to Franchise."   Why You Should Listen: Real Stories, Real Impact: Chris shares his incredible journey from struggling with debt and food stamps to building a successful business and becoming a voice in the national conversation. Faith and Business: Learn how Chris navigates the intersection of faith and business, making decisions based on principles rather than the heat of the moment. Risk and Reward: If you've ever been paralyzed by the fear of starting something new, Chris's insights into risk-taking could be the push you need. Cultural Influence: Chris passionately believes that the body of Christ should reclaim its seat at the table in cultural conversations. Hear why and how you can be a part of it.   Key Topics/Questions Covered: Chris's remarkable story involving Vice President Joe Biden, some ice cream, and how it catapulted him into the national spotlight. The importance of having a "why" in your business and life. How risk has played a significant role in Chris's journey and why it's essential for anyone looking to make an impact. The books that have influenced Chris the most in his business and spiritual life. The one message Chris wishes the entire body of Christ better understood.   Resources Mentioned:  Book: "Food Stamps to Franchise" by Chris McMurray  - https://amazon.com/Food-Stamps-Franchise-Workbook-Brokenness/dp/B0CFZFDS6Y  Book: "Creating Magic" by Lee Cockerell - https://amazon.com/Creating-Magic-Leadership-Strategies-Cockerell/dp/B00NBF0FQK/  Books by Henry Nowen: For spiritual grounding - https://amazon.com/stores/Henri-J.-M.-Nouwen/author/B000AQ4ZZ0  Wonder Works in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee: An indoor amusement park with a ropes course that taught Chris a life lesson about risk -  https://www.wonderworksonline.com/pigeon-forge/    Watch this episode on our SeedTime Money Podcast YouTube channel (https://youtu.be/-4o_GHXZWcA)!   If you haven't checked out our best-selling book Simple Money, Rich Life (https://seedtime.com/smrl/), we think you'll love it.
