Today’s guest is my good friend Jason Illian, Co-Founder @ Highmount Capital. Jason returns to the show for a meaningful conversation about faith, fatherhood, leadership, and living with eternal purpose.
We explore how Jason integrates ministry into his home and family life, using sports as a vehicle to teach character and faith. He shares how he and his wife intentionally guide their children through social pressures, technology, and success, and how his approach to leadership, both at home and in business, is grounded in biblical truth. Together, we unpack what it means to lead a family, resist cultural distractions, and build a legacy that lasts beyond material success.
We discuss:
* How Jason uses sports and family life as everyday ministry
* The challenges of parenting in a tech-saturated world
* Why true leadership requires being both prophet, priest, and king
* The cultural impact of Dude Perfect and the rise of faith-driven media
* How to shift from chasing empires to leaving lasting legacies
