What Your Kids Actually See: Behind the Scenes of Building a Business with My Daughter Naomi

You asked for the Fab Four. We are delivering. This is the first kid episode of the For His Glory CEO Podcast and I could not think of a better person to kick it off than my daughter Naomi Kate, 12, ahead of her time since the day she was born, and real and raw in the best possible way. We talk about what it is actually like to grow up as an entrepreneur's daughter. The behind the scenes. The funny moments. The hard moments. The moment we lost everything on a 21-minute Zoom call and what she saw from the couch. And the moment she put the gift of her heavenly language on her Christmas wish list at nine years old and got it on Christmas Eve. Friend, this one is going to make you laugh, make you cry, and make you hug your kids a little tighter today.  In This Episode You'll Learn: * What Naomi says it is actually like to grow up as an entrepreneur's daughter * The retreat moment at nine years old that changed everything for her and what happened the very next Sunday * How she went from crying on stage in front of 30 six and seven figure women to leading worship at school without nerves * What Naomi saw the day I lost my business on a 21-minute Zoom call and what she learned from watching the rebuild * Why one-on-one time with your kids matters more than anything else you can give them * What Naomi says is the right move when a mom snaps, straight from an 11-year-old's perspective * The lipstick moment, the bathtub swimming moment, and why if it's funny later it's funny now * What Naomi's goals are for summer 2026 and the mic drop she ends with * Why Naomi says above everything else, just trust the Lord because He has a plan for your life If you’re ready to scale with the right people around you, explore the For His Glory CEO Inner Circle.
