What if you could build a successful business, and still miss your purpose?
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.

What do you do when disappointment happens so often, that you stop believing anything will ever change?
Sometimes a simple conversation, a word of encouragement, or taking a moment to pray for someone can have a greater impact than you ever imagined. Because you carry more hope than you realize.
What if feeling under qualified isn’t a sign you’re in the wrong assignment, but evidence that God is inviting you to depend on Him?
What if your recurring employee challenge isn’t just an employee problem—but a disciple-making opportunity?
After 15 years of Heaven in Business, one thing has become increasingly clear: we were never meant to navigate faith, family, and business alone.
