Ep. 17| The Most Important Skill In 2026

In this first episode of 2026, Josiah Ryan breaks down what he believes is the single highest-leverage skill Christian business owners must master this year: recruiting.

If you’re stuck in the daily grind, wearing every hat, working 60+ hours a week, and wondering why your business still feels like a job — this episode is your wake-up call.

Josiah explains why recruiting the right people creates exponential growth, how replacing problems with people unlocks time and financial freedom, and why trying to do everything yourself is quietly killing your business. Drawing from real-world examples, biblical leadership principles, and the powerful framework from Who Not How by Dan Sullivan, this episode will challenge how you think about leadership, delegation, and growth.

You’ll learn:

• Why recruiting beats hustle every time
• How one hire can create years of leverage
• The 4 critical areas every business must staff correctly
• Why excellence is non-negotiable for Christian entrepreneurs
• How to recruit even when you “don’t have the money”
• Why God designed entrepreneurs to be leaders, builders, and team developers

If you want to stop being self-employed and start leading like a true CEO — this episode will change how you build your business in 2026 and beyond.
