Identity, Purpose and Calling Summit

Why You Build Matters More Than What You Build

Too many people build businesses, brands, and careers on unstable foundations—ego, money, or external validation. This experience is designed to pause the hustle and realign the builder.

Identity, Purpose & Calling is an intentional evening focused on anchoring identity before ambition, so what you build can last.

This is not a tactics-based workshop.This is orientation—helping you understand who you are, why you build, and what you’re actually called to steward.

To anchor identity before ambition so students and entrepreneurs do not build fragile businesses tied to ego, money, or validation.

• Identity before success
• Responsibility over entitlement
• Separating self-worth from outcomes
• Internal motivation vs. external validation
• Why many people chase money instead of calling
• Stewardship of gifts
• Faith-aligned purpose that is inclusive and accessible
• Obedience, service, and long-term thinking
• Building for meaning—not approval
