What do you do when you’ve hit rock bottom, but know your calling is greater? Pastor Jeff Osbourne went from prison to purpose, and in this powerful episode, he shares how renewing your mindset and walking in obedience can transform your business, leadership, and life. Get ready for hard truth, raw testimony, and soul-stirring wisdom.

This special episode of the Pound for Pound Leadership Podcast takes a deep dive into identity-driven leadership, entrepreneurship, and the spiritual principles that elevate marketplace leaders beyond hustle culture.

While Pastor Mike isn’t featured in this conversation, Inspire Church’s very own Pono is joined by two of Pastor Mike’s good friends, Pastor Jeff Osbourne and Danny Kim, for a powerful and honest discussion on what it looks like to lead in every arena of life.

From surviving the streets to coaching CEOs, Pastor Jeff shares his personal journey and reminds us that obedience, mindset renewal, and faith aren’t just spiritual ideas; they’re essential tools for success, both in ministry and in the marketplace.
