Godly Values, Great Teams: How To Hire, Lead & Build With Faith | Alex Juoana

"God is the CEO of my business." Alex spent years in corporate recruitment helping companies find and keep great people — but something was missing. In this conversation she shares how she went from being "a passenger in my own life" to building a business with the Bible as her operating manual. We get practical about the things every growing business wrestles with: setting values your team can actually live by, hiring the right people (and avoiding the expensive wrong ones), growing leaders from within, the fine art of delegation, protecting your culture, letting people go with grace — and how to share your faith at work without feeling like an expert. If you're a Christian business owner or leader who wants to build something that lasts — and honours God — this one is for you. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 Cold open 00:25 Kingdom Business Operators intro 00:47 Welcome, and why the Bible is Alex's operating manual 01:21 From passenger to purpose: Alex's faith story 06:31 From corporate recruiter to business owner 08:11 Getting your spouse on board with your business 11:01 Year one in business: a refining journey 13:09 What it means for God to be the CEO of your business 15:47 How to build values your business runs on 20:46 Hire, promote and fire on values 23:09 Setting values for a team that already exists 26:20 Before you hire: laying the right foundations 31:50 AI, automation and bringing your team with you 38:05 How to attract senior and executive hires 41:32 Build your own leaders or hire them in? 51:27 Turning great technicians into great leaders 53:51 The fine art of delegation 57:14 Building and protecting your culture 1:00:01 When culture drifts: induction, onboarding and documentation 1:07:16 How to let someone go gracefully 1:11:54 Sharing your faith as a business owner 1:14:40 Alex's parting advice for leaders 🎧 Listen on Spotify and all podcast platforms: [podcast link] 🔔 Subscribe to Kingdom Business Operators for more conversations on faith and business:    / @kingdombusinessoperators   ABOUT KINGDOM BUSINESS OPERATORS We are on a mission to inspire and equip kingdom entrepreneurs and leaders.
