Restoring God’s Kingdom through business.

[Jon VerLee @jonverlee]

When companies stop taking risks, growth stalls. It is that simple.

The fail whale accelerates growth by celebrating failures and giving people permission to try things even when they are not sure it will work.

If you lead a team, the question worth asking is not whether your people are taking risks. It is whether they feel SAFE enough to.

Comment how your team creates space for risk taking. I am always looking for new ideas to share with the founders I work with.

Here is a rare chance to get in on the ground floor of a startup that is fixing something that matters.

I recently sat down with my friend Brent Renkema. He is working on a fascinating startup to bring more transparency to the healthcare system.

Brent is the founder of Agapè Advisory llc, partnering with health startups to create better patient experiences and lower costs. The vision is simple. Put the patient back at the center.

He is looking for one person who is technologically strong and has a heart for serving people who have been unjustly treated.

If that describes you, reach out to Brent directly.

My 11-year-old just built and PUBLISHED her own candle shop app.

With real payments and inventory management, her app went live in under an hour.

If Emmie can do it, you can too.

Got an idea you have been sitting on? Drop it in the comments. We would love to feature you on the next Made with Manifest video.

Manifest turns ideas into paid web apps.
Creators make money while they sleep.
No coding required.

Today, I’m excited to officially launch Manifest 🚀

If you’ve got an idea for a real, revenue-generating app and want early access, leave a comment and I’ll reach out.

One of the biggest challenges I see is founders moving from idea phase to building phase. In our latest podcast, we talk through how founders can (quickly) build the first version of their tech product. Enjoy!

Episode 2 of the "Startup 1.0 Podcast". Helping founders test their idea before building it. Let's figure out what people want as early as possible so we don't build the wrong thing.
