"I had very intentional time with the Lord to figure out what every piece of my life needed to look like in that season with Him." - Lemon Price
In today's episode, our guest Lemon Price shares her story of how God spoke to her at a young age telling her that she would move to the South, how intentional time with God shaped her decisions and relationships, and how she took a leap in her career by leaving a toxic business partnership and starting her own marketing agency.
Lemon’s Bio
Lemon Price is the mom of two boys, a dog mom, and a wife to her best friend.
After earning her Master’s in Marketing and Journalism, she quickly rose through the ranks of the business world, joining the C-Suite at just 26 and helping clients achieve 8-figure sales in just 10 months. She then started her own marketing agency, which she ran until God called her to focus on His ministry and calling.
Now, Lemon focuses on helping women in marketplace ministry and their ministry at home. Her warm personality and deep faith make her the perfect mentor for Christian women looking to use their gifts to glorify God.

The 5 Leaps Quick Guide:
"It was a difficult time because the boys weren't very receptive to it. They did not want to do it. We got to the point, once we had decided that we were moving, one of them decided they were going to ask around to see if somebody else would adopt them so they could stay. Wow, that was a tough, tough time." - Sam Sprunger
Sam's Bio
I am 43 years old, and live in NW Ohio. My wife, our 4 sons, and two basset hounds moved almost 2 years ago from NE Indiana, where I had lived my entire life. We are huge Chicago Cubs fans, and yes, the best day of our lives was November 2, 2016! : )
I have taught, online, for 4 years, and also have hosted a podcast for almost just as long! The 500 Section Lounge is the product of my wife telling me that I needed to socialize, after I started my online teaching. I decided that I loved to talk, so a podcast made a perfect fit, in my mind!
So, October 3, 2019, I started my podcast career. It worked out well, because that next March, we all knew the world came to a screeching halt. One thing that didn't stop was people were still willing, and had SO MUCH TIME, to do interviews!
I am the type of person who will talk to absolutely anyone, anywhere, anytime! I love conversing and finding out more about people! There are plenty of times that I will talk, upwards of 5 minutes, to the worker in the check-out line! If we have something to do, my wife will tell me that I can go get the car, so I don't make us late!
I just became a grandparent on October 12, 2022! I go by Pops! I didn't want to be grandpa... Pops was fitting for me! I love being Pops!
My wife and I love going to our boys' events. It's our "relaxation" time! We love seeing our boys performing.

“It's like He is four steps ahead of me…I always envisioned Him holding my hand, like I'm just right behind Him, and Him always turning around going, hold on one second, let me go in this door…I got this. And so I just felt like the whole journey was like that..” ~Dawn Barton
Have you struggled to believe that God will exchange your good for His better?
How would you respond if He asked you to surrender your season of success?
Our guest today, Dawn Barton, will share how God called her to transition from her successful career as a Mary Kay Consultant into becoming an author and how she has learned to navigate a new season of caretaking for her loved one.
Dawn’s Bio
Dawn Barton left a thirty-year career in sales marketing, despite being pretty darn good at it (like #7 Sales Director in Mary Kay Cosmetics good), to follow a calling and write. Her first book, 2020’s Laughing Through the Ugly Cry, became a bestselling success, garnering the prestigious ECPA Christian Book Award for New Author of the Year. Stunned to be entering her fifties as a successful author, she was inspired to write her second book, Midlife Battle Cry, urging women to resist the pull of streaming television algorithms and get excited about ‘redefining the mighty second half.
Dawn speaks at conferences, churches, elevators, and just about anywhere anyone will listen to her
thoughts on finding joy and humor in even the most difficult of circumstances. When she’s not smiling at blank pages pretending to write, Dawn is a speaker giving talks about cancer, joy, female empowerment, and direct sales, podcast host of the upcoming Porch Ramblings with Dawn Barton, and the founder of the Retreats at Trinity. She’s living the sandwich-generation dream with her husband, daughter, parents, mother-in-law, and too many animals to count in Cantonment, FL

“Your identity is established, your design is uncovered, and then your assignment gets revealed.” ~Matt Tommey
What happens when God calls you to walk away from something that is profitable and flourishing?
Our guest today, Matt Tommey, will share how God led him to shut down his company during a season of abundance and what he learned along that journey.
Matt is woven sculpture artist from Asheville, North Carolina and an internationally known Christian speaker and author of multiple books. He is also an art mentor for artists around the world through his "Created to Thrive" art mentoring program and The Thriving Christian Artist podcast.
In 2009, God called Matt to "raise up an army of artists to reveal His glory all over the earth." Since then, Matt has given his life to helping artists thrive spiritually, creatively and financially through creating live events, resources and online opportunities that equip artists to live the life they were divinely designed to live in the Kingdom.
As an artist, Matt's work has been featured in many magazines, shows and exhibitions and is mostly commissioned by private clients for luxury mountain and coastal homes around the country. In 2011, Matt was recognized by the Smithsonian American Art Museum's Renwick Gallery as an American Artist Under 40 and in 2018 was recognized as one of the Best Artist Mentors in the country by Professional Artist Magazine.
