Ep. 50: Principles of Generous Business, with Kenneth Kollasch

Faith Ventures welcomes Kenneth Kollasch, third-generation business owner, former competitive ballroom dancer, associate pastor, and founder of Kenneth Coaches (kennethcoaches.com). Kenneth has spent his career moving between worlds most people treat as separate: he turned down a professional soccer contract after getting saved at twenty to stay in the family business, competed alongside his wife to become international ballroom champions, served on church staff in pastoral roles from youth ministry to associate pastor, and now runs a consulting practice that works with small business owners and pastors simultaneously — because he believes the two worlds have far more to offer each other than either group typically recognizes.
