        &lt;p&gt;What if you could build a successful business, and still miss your purpose?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this episode, Andy Mason sits down with Coach Bill, a high-performance entrepreneur who spent over 40 years in business, raised a thriving family, and exited a multimillion-dollar company. But his greatest success wasn’t financial. It was learning how to hear God and build his life from that place.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;From 15-minute quiet times to a life-altering shift into daily encounters with God, Bill shares the raw, real journey of obedience, trials, and transformation. This is not a theory. This is a tested, lived-out pathway of integrating faith and business in a way that actually works.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you’ve ever felt busy but unanchored, successful but uncertain, this conversation will realign you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Key Takeaways&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Why being “disciplined” isn’t the same as being aligned&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How a recurring dream exposed a deeper misalignment in life and business&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The simple question that changed everything: “How long does God want with me?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What it looks like to move from reading the Word to encountering God&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Why obedience often leads through trials, not around them&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How hardship forges clarity, endurance, and deeper connection with God&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The difference between building a successful business and building a Kingdom life&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How to develop a daily rhythm of hearing God at work&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
