EP 27 | The Role Faith Plays in Personal Growth w/ Chance Duncan

In this episode of Uncharted Podcast, I sit down with Chance to talk about how one devastating moment changed the trajectory of his life forever. At just 17 years old, Chance lost his childhood home in a house fire, a moment that forced him to rebuild mentally, emotionally, and financially. That experience sparked his entrepreneurial journey, leading him to start businesses at a young age, step into real estate, and eventually leave his small hometown in Missouri to move to Utah with no real plan, just faith and ambition. We dive into the power of gratitude, why discomfort creates growth, what he has learned from being part of We Are The They, and how surrounding yourself with the right people can completely change your life. Chance also opens up about his decision to join The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, how faith transformed his mindset, and why embracing uncertainty has led him to opportunities he never expected. This conversation is about resilience, taking risks before you feel ready, and trusting that your hardest seasons can shape your greatest purpose. If you’ve ever felt called to start over, take a leap, or embrace the unknown, this episode is for you. Connect with Chance Duncan!

EP 24 | From Security to Self-Made: Betting Everything On the Unknown

In this episode of Uncharted, I sit down with Austin Whitney to talk about what it really means to walk away from security and build a life on your own terms. Austin shares his journey from starting his first entrepreneurial venture in 2018 to going fully self-employed in 2021, followed by his wife in 2022. Together, they made the difficult decision to leave behind traditional stability — including steady income and health insurance — while raising a two-year-old and a newborn. We talk about the emotional and physical struggles of building businesses while supporting a family, the pressure that comes with choosing an uncertain path, and how those challenges ultimately led to the life they once dreamed of. Austin also shares why he’s now pursuing music full-time and how creativity and entrepreneurship intersect in his life today. This conversation dives into risk, identity, family, and what it really takes to pursue the life you want — even when the path isn’t clear. Connect with Austin Whitney!
