In this powerful and thought-provoking episode of The Ed Fernandez Show, Ed sits down with returning guest Nicholas Leone to unpack what it truly means to build a life, career, and business rooted in purpose—not just profit.
At the core of this conversation is identity. Before strategy, before skill, before success—who are you? The discussion dives deep into the idea that understanding your God-given identity is the foundation for confidence, clarity, and resilience in both life and business. From there, the conversation expands into calling—what you were created to do—and how work, when aligned with purpose, stops feeling like obligation and starts feeling like privilege.
Nicholas shares the vision behind the Business Bible, a growing movement that connects timeless biblical principles to modern entrepreneurship, finance, and leadership. From launching a curriculum for colleges to developing AI-powered tools that interpret business news through a biblical lens, this episode explores how faith and innovation can work together—not against each other.
The conversation also takes a bold turn into the future. With the rapid rise of artificial intelligence and the reality of automation reshaping the workforce, Ed and Nicholas break down what this means for entrepreneurs. Is AI a threat—or a tool? Are we heading toward an employment crisis, or an explosion of new opportunity? The answer might challenge everything you’ve been told.
More importantly, this episode reframes the narrative: you are not powerless. You’ve been given agency—the ability to create, build, influence, and shape outcomes. When that power is aligned with truth, discipline, and purpose, it becomes a force for impact far beyond money.
This isn’t just a conversation about business. It’s about stewardship, responsibility, and the role you play in shaping the world around you. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a creative, or someone searching for direction, this episode will challenge you to think differently about work, wealth, and what it really means to succeed.
If you’ve ever felt called to do more, build more, or become more—this one is for you.
