Max Anderson - Venture Fund

Do you feel like a jack-of-all-trades, but master of none? Has your career taken a very non-linear path, as you bounced back and forth between different callings and passions? If so, you’ll probably resonate deeply with <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/maxanderson/">Max Anderson</a>’s story. Max is currently the managing partner of <a href="https://www.saturnfive.com/">Saturn Five</a>, a venture fund in Denver, Colorado. But in the past 20 years, Max has also worked for <a href="https://www.mckinsey.com/">McKinsey & Company</a>, at Tim Keller’s <a href="https://www.redeemer.com/">Redeemer Church</a> in New York City, and for <a href="https://www.bridgewater.com/">Bridgewater Associates</a>, one of the largest hedge funds in the world. He also came up with an idea called <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZHN7wAPwkc">“The MBA Oath”</a> that was so popular during his time at Harvard that he gained national attention from news outlets like CNN, NPR, and The New York Times. It’s basically a Hippocratic oath for MBA students who wanted to pledge to conduct themselves with honesty and integrity in the midst of the 2008 global financial crisis. Max has accomplished a lot, but it hasn’t always been easy. There were times when he didn’t know whether he should stay in the business world or work in Christian ministry. He was also torn between going to seminary and becoming a pastor, or going to business school and pursuing his MBA. Then, there was the time when Max had to decide, point blank, if he wanted to keep his job or write a book instead. None of these decisions were clear cut, but Max Anderson relied on his faith to help him be at peace no matter what he decided. We hope you’ll be encouraged by this episode if you’re not sure what’s next in your career, need help making a big decision, or feel drawn in different directions at the same time.

Akeel Sachak - Mergers & Acquisitions

Akeel Sachak is an investment banker in the United Kingdom, working for <a href="https://www.rothschildandco.com/en/">Rothschild & Co</a>. He’s been with the company since 1985. Over the past 35 years, Akeel has climbed the ranks from junior analyst to Partner and Global Head of Consumer. Over the years, Akeel’s specialty is food and beverage related transactions. He’s helped companies like <a href="https://www.coca-colacompany.com/home">Coca-Cola</a>, <a href="http://www.asahisuperdry.com/">Asahi</a>, and <a href="https://www.weetabixusa.com/">Weetabix</a> through mergers & acquisitions, and strategic and financial advising. He’s had a fulfilling career, made lots of money, and generally been successful in his work. But Akeel’s main passion isn’t his job – it’s his Christian faith. Originally raised in a Muslim family, Akeel came to know Jesus at Oxford University after hearing an evangelist speak. Akeel then met his wife Joy at a church. At first, Akeel was timid about sharing his faith at work. But over time, he’s come to see that his job and beliefs can go hand-in-hand. He’s also realized that it was wrong to gather wealth without sharing it with others. You may not often hear investment banking and Christianity in the same sentence, but Akeel is used to being different than his peers. Growing up, Akeel was typically one of the only people of color in whatever setting he was in. From his boarding school to early days at Rothschild, Akeel was always in the minority. But even when he experienced racism, Akeel learned to work harder and trust in God by not worrying about things outside of his control. Akeel’s biggest challenges have come from balancing his work and family and making sure that he wasn’t investing too much of his time and energy into his career. He’ll share more of how he figured that out, and what he’s learned from the pandemic, on this episode. Feel free to let us know how this story has impacted you!

Nona Jones - Facebook Community Partnerships

<a href="https://www.nonajones.com/">Nona Jones</a> is Head of Faith-Based Partnerships at <a href="https://about.fb.com/">Facebook</a>. It’s her job to teach faith communities how to stay connected and engaged through social media. As a Christian, Nona loves helping churches across the country do “digital discipleship” while also assisting her husband pastor a church in Florida. But Nona’s life wasn’t always so great. Her childhood was filled with loneliness, neglect, and all kinds of abuse: physical, verbal, emotional, and sexual. Nona was so broken by her experiences that she tried to take her own life twice. Things turned around when a friend invited Nona to church in the sixth grade. As she experienced unconditional love and acceptance for the first time in her life, Nona began to do better in school, eventually earning a full-ride scholarship to the University of Florida. After initially pursuing a medical degree, she switched to Communications. After college, Nona bounced around a few different jobs, first with a broadcasting company, then <a href="https://www.nationwide.com/">Nationwide Insurance</a>, and <a href="https://www.gru.com/">a utility company</a> in Florida. Eventually, she found a job she really loved and saw herself doing for a long time at <a href="https://www.pacecenter.org/">Pace Center for Girls</a>. But then she heard God say: “this assignment is over.” Nona Jones turned in her resignation without having a new job to go to but being unemployed didn’t last long. She’ll tell more in this episode about the story of getting a random phone call from Facebook and what she does in her role there. Nona’s learned from her traumatic past that nothing bad can define us, if we allow God to use it. She’s especially aware of the importance of community and sharing our stories with people we trust. Of course, that’s not easy to do right now as the pandemic continues, but Nona is confident that we can have hope anyway. Her story is one of overcoming an incredibly difficult start in life and not letting brokenness stop her from living out her purpose. ______ Get a copy of Nona’s books from the links below: Success from the Inside Out: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PQ4Z88N/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PQ4Z88N/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1</a> From Social Media to Social Ministry: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Social-Media-Ministry-Digital-Discipleship-ebook/dp/B081MZQV78">https://www.amazon.com/Social-Media-Ministry-Digital-Discipleship-ebook/dp/B081MZQV78</a> Love Nona’s story and want to know more?
