Working in Multiple Spaces So you’re a creative… What that probably means is that you have multiple jobs while you are building your passion project. That’s not to say that your jobs are not something you can also be passionate about. I’d venture to say that you are likely excited about your nine-to-five, too. But when you work in multiple spaces throughout your week, it can be hard to balance both your time and your energy. Sure. You want to give your all to the things you find purpose in. But what happens when you find purpose in several places? Jonathan Mayo knows a thing or two about working in multiple places. He works in three very distinct arenas (one is a literal stadium on Friday nights). Jonathan manages time and energy as he transitions between his three spaces of purpose. But what helps is that he can connect the dots between his professions with a throughline of calling. Each place allows him to live into his vocation of leadership development. How Jonathan Can Help You: Jonathan has a heart for those who are leading and creating. He realizes that while some of us have places for connection, some faithful creators out there feel like they are an island to themselves. Jonathan would love to be a listening ear if you would like to talk to someone skilled in connecting the dots in your story. How You Can Help Jonathan: Jonathan and the Sagamore Leadership Initiative team have developed a leadership curriculum designed for emerging high school and college leaders. If you know of a school, church, business, non-profit, or organization interested in equipping the next generation of leaders with this curriculum, please visit www.sagamoreleadership.org to receive more information!

The Sacredness of Secular Work This is one of the most important conversations we can have as faithful creators. In this episode of the Opportunity Collective podcast, we welcome Jordan Raynor, an author and advocate for integrating faith and work. We discuss the concept of collaboration > competition, the importance of valuing work beyond just a source of income, and how the traditional idea of 'good works' encompasses both spiritual and everyday work, tasks, and employment. Jordan emphasizes the significance of understanding work as a gift from God, instilled in us since creation and ultimately redeemed by Jesus Christ. Stick to the end of the podcast to hear about how to win an upcoming trip to France for two winners who pre-order Jordan Raynor's new book, 'The Sacredness of Secular Work' before February 3rd. How Jordan Can Help You: Jordan’s new book,” The Sacredness of Secular Work,” is the guide you need to see how your work matters for eternity—beyond sharing the gospel with those you work with. Pre-order The Sacredness of Secular Work before February 3, and you could win an epic trip for two to France to rehearse for eternity in a castle, vineyard, cathedral, and more! How You Can Help Jordan: How does the gospel influence the work of Mere Christians—those of us who aren’t pastors or religious professionals but who work as entrepreneurs, baristas, and accountants? That’s the question Jordan’s flagship podcast explores every week as he interviews guests across the widest variety of vocations.Do you know someone who integrates their faith with their work? Jordan would love to interview them on his podcast Mere Christians. Contact Jordan at JordanRaynor.com. Follow Jordan Raynor: Follow Jordan on Instagram or LinkedIn.

🤝 Daniel Foganholi is Collaborating with The Opportunity Collective Can collaboration AND politics go hand in hand? Daniel Foganholi believes that they can. Daniel is a politician serving on the Broward County School Board, one of the largest school districts in the United States. He's also been appointed to Florida's Strategic Partnerships for the Brazilian American Coalition and the Public Safety Commission. However, before venturing into politics, Daniel was a member of a touring band. From band member to school board member  It would be easy for Daniel not to feel qualified for the Broward County School Board. But he continues to step into the position, driven by a strong call to serve his community.  How Daniel can help you: 🌱 Stay Rooted: Daniel offers great advice on how you can stay focused on your mission amidst distractions and even persecution. 💪 Step In: Daniel has battled imposter syndrome every day before entering the room as a School Board Member. He reminds us that God qualifies the called instead of the called being qualified. 🏫 Find opportunities within your school district: If you have a small business or passion project, Daniel outlines the steps to becoming a vendor in your local school district. Whatever your product or skill might be, there is an opportunity to grow your business by serving your school community. How You Can Help Daniel: 🙏 Pray: Daniel is often under attack for the work he does. His name appears in newspapers, he receives abusive messages on social media, and people assume the worst of him for being a politician. Daniel requests prayers before anything else. 📣 Be a hype-man/woman: All of us in The Opportunity Collective could use a little encouragement. Even if you do not live in Florida, Daniel would appreciate you dropping an encouraging comment on his Instagram from time to time. In fact, let's all commit to encouraging one another and hyping each other's work up on social media! 🚀👏 ⁠Join The Opportunity Collective today and collaborate with other emer⁠ging leaders to start creating opportunities.
