The Called Podcast

The future of wealth is borderlessand the next frontier is closer than you think. In this episode, were revisiting a session from Called to Connect where I sat down with venture capitalist, Kwame Anku, to explore what it means to invest where others arent looking. Drawing from his own story and his work across the African continent, Kwame challenges leaders to think beyond traditional markets and expand their mindset to see the opportunities hidden in plain sight.

From the overlooked potential of emerging economies to the spiritual principle of sowing and stewardship, this conversation is a charge to lead boldly, think globally, and move with intention toward impact.

Great leadership doesn’t just stand still—it evolves. In Part 2 of this conversation, Sarah Jakes Roberts challenges leaders to move from being rooted to responsive. 

While your identity should always stay grounded, your leadership must remain agile. When leaders get stuck in sameness, they risk becoming irrelevant—similar to organizations that ignored the signs of change. 

Success isn’t about repeating what worked last time; it’s about being sensitive to the moment. From system design to mindset shifts, this episode explores how to identify when you’re operating on autopilot—and when it’s time to take back the controls. Because the outcomes may fluctuate, but the purpose should always remain.

In this session from the Called to Connect Conference, Sarah Jakes Roberts explores how a lack of vision—not a lack of talent—can cause leaders to miss their calling.

Referencing Proverbs 29:18, she unpacks how leadership isn’t just about guiding people, but about stewarding a vision with depth, clarity, and conviction.

In Part 1, she breaks down the difference between traditional and visionary leadership, and how to bring true ownership to your current role—regardless of your title. If you’ve ever questioned your ability to lead, this episode will help you build confidence from the inside out.
