Today’s guests on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast are husband and wife entrepreneur team Tim and Dr. Ramona Probasco, co-owners and inventors of inShield Wiper®. 

Tim and Dr. Ramona dedicated their business to Jesus as CEO years ago and have worked together to grow their business. They have sold over 250 million inShield Wipers primarily via live demonstration infomercials on QVC, but during the COVID pandemic, their business took a beating and sales plummeted. They are currently in the middle of an expansion of their business - a product line expansion, as well as a big move into retail.

They share with vulnerability and transparency, the journey of the last few years, the stretch they are faced with today, and how God has led them, empowered them, and strengthened them in the midst of it all.

Today’s guest on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is Ryan Beck, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Pray.com, which he helped start alongside his fellow co-founding partners in 2016. 

Ryan shares how his first venture into business was a bit unconventional, selling drugs as a teenager, but he encountered God powerfully during his time in prison and gave his life to Christ. After being released from prison, he studied theology at bible college and also cultivated a heart for Kingdom impact.  He later pursued studies in computer science and developed skills to serve organizations at the intersection of technology and faith.

In this conversation, Ryan shares how he cultivates and expresses Kingdom culture through love in leadership as a CTO within the company, and how the Holy Spirit has guided him as he and his team have created the world’s #1 app for daily prayer and faith-based audio content.

Ryan’s story is truly one that illustrates God’s providence. As the Proverbs say, the heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps, and many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.

Today’s guest on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is author and writing coach Nika Maples.  

At the age of 20, Nika experienced a massive brainstem stroke that left her quadriplegic, and the foundations were laid for her to trust God in ALL things as she walked through a journey of a miraculous recovery.  Nika shares about her adventurous and Holy Spirit-led transition from teaching English in public schools, to writing and speaking full time, to the work that she does today.  There’s much to glean from her walk with the Lord, learning to trust Him to indeed be the Source of provision.

Today’s guest on The Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur Podcast is Pete Jones, CEO of Daily Kairos and the creator of the Daily Kairos Journal. 

Pete is a corporate dropout turned full-time entrepreneur who left his big paycheck behind to align with what God was putting on his heart. He shares about his adventures in business and how he started to draw closer to God and begin to view his entire life and business as ministry. Some words and a vision from the Lord led to him and his wife starting an e-commerce business providing solutions to help others cultivate a lifestyle of engaging God.  In the process of helping others, he too is growing and experiencing more Kairos living (and working), led and empowered by the Holy Spirit.
