Is your will gathering dust on a shelf? Is it outdated? Maybe you haven’t even started the process of a will and / or an estate plan? As a Christ follower, we’re called to be stewards of all God’s blessings throughout our years on earth.

Join Russ Crosson and Greg Leith on the Convene podcast as they discuss family meetings, estate plans, succession, philanthropy, and think (in advance) about the question, “How did you do with what God gave you?”

While on his "sabbatical" from the business world, Josh served at a local Bay Area church until the itch of entrepreneurship came back when he realized there wasn't a good single-serve coffee option that didn't require a machine. Making good coffee while traveling always required too much gear, and drinking bad coffee isn't appealing to anyone. Josh sought a solution, and through that process invented Steeped Coffee bags.

Again, Josh jumped into the startup world to launch Steeped Coffee on Kickstarter. Steeped has now partnered with many specialty coffee roasters around the world along with the likes of The Ellen DeGeneres Show to bring good tasting, waste-free single-serve coffee to the world.

In this episode of the Convene Podcast, Josh shares about his journey through the startup world, the role his faith plays in his work, and his experience starting a company again with a firmer vision for a way to use it to glorify God.
