The Restart Podcast

Doing Business God’s Way | Restarting the Journey of Faith within Entrepreneurship - Month 1

After years of inconsistency, I’m restarting the Restart Podcast with a new focus: trusting God in entrepreneurship and building business His way. In this episode, I share the real journey of growing Grenada Nut Company / MegRelief without debt, without outside investors, and without pretending the process is easy. I talk about what I’ve learned from watching other businesses rise and struggle, why I believe slow growth can be better, and why keeping a job while building may actually be the wiser path. I also break down my real goals for MegRelief, the marketing plan I’m committing to, the lessons I’m learning from outreach, social media, vendor events, and follow-up, and why I’m choosing faith, discipline, and honesty over hype. This episode is for entrepreneurs, aspiring founders, and anyone trying to trust God while building something meaningful. In this episode: *  Why I’m restarting the podcast  *  What trusting God in business looks like  *  Why I’m building without debt or investors  *  My real growth goals for MegRelief  *  Lessons from outreach, email, social, and vendor events  *  Why entrepreneurship requires faith, patience, and action  Scripture referenced: Matthew 6:33 If you’re building something and trying to do it with faith, focus, and integrity, this channel is for you.

Stewardship Over Hustle: Choose Action Anchored In Faith

Ever feel stuck on the launchpad, rewriting plans while your idea gathers dust? Arthur Toole, CEO of MegRelief, opens up about pressing reset the right way—by moving with what’s already in your hands. No perfect timing, no magic partner, just faith tied to daily steps that compound into impact. He shares the honest journey from analysis paralysis to action, and why excellence in the marketplace can be a quiet, powerful sermon. We dig into stewardship as a full-life practice. That means owning health choices at 47, trading sugar habits for strength and hydration, and treating energy like fuel for the mission. It also means money with a conscience: giving where we’re called, saving with intention, and cutting the mindless spend that blunts progress. Family stands at the center—marriage and kids considered not as distractions but as the very legacy the work is meant to serve. Through it all, Arthur explains how MegRelief, MegRub, MegSoak, and MegBomb came to market with integrity, compliant and customer-focused, without pretending to be a scientist or playing the guru game. Setbacks show up here too: stolen ideas, slow seasons, and the sting of being underestimated. The response is different—“to God be the glory”—a choice to let adversity refine instead of define. Faith becomes more than belief; it’s the daily phone call, the product page published, the workout logged, the budget honored. We commit to weekly transparency on wins and misses so you don’t have to walk alone. If you’re ready to restart—really restart—use what’s in your hands and take the next right step with us.Subscribe for new episodes, share this with a friend who needs a nudge, and leave a quick review to tell us what you’re starting today.
