In this honest and inspiring conversation, Jerrad sits down with Michael Seifert—founder of PublicSq. and EveryLife—to talk about identity, pressure, purpose, and the hidden cost of success. Though Michael leads some of the most mission-driven companies in America, he opens up about the soul battles behind his ambition—and why Sabbath rest might be his greatest act of obedience. They talk about legacy, fatherhood, and how a rebellious teenager found Jesus at a ranch in Northern California. Michael shares how a single week transformed his relationship with his dad, the real reason behind his inner drive, and the moment he realized that working for the praises of man would eventually break him. This episode is a reminder that God doesn’t just care about what you build—but who you're becoming while you build it. What You’ll Learn: Why your identity can’t come from what you accomplish The four roles a dad plays (caretaker, cop, coach, consultant) How pressure to succeed impacts father-son relationships What Michael learned about humility from his dad The beauty of building with God—and learning to rest How to lead your family while healing from your own wounds Why starting a values-driven business invites both criticism and purpose Mentioned in This Episode: J.H.
