About This Podcast
If you’re a Christian author, ministry-minded leader, or ambitious business owner who’s worn out by vague or exhausting business (and faith) advice—and honestly tired in every area of life—but still feels called to build something meaningful for the glory of God and the good of His people without sacrificing home or family (even when home feels hard too)… welcome. You’re in the right place.
Voice Memos from Dusty is a podcast that feels exactly like what it sounds like—off-the-cuff voice memos from one ambitious, Jesus-loving entrepreneur to another. You’ll hear practical business strategy, real-world marketing conversations, and theologically grounded reflections as I, too, work to build a business that integrates faith, work, and real life.
Hosted by business consultant and operations strategist Dusty Hegge (that's me!) we talk about creating profitable and sustainable businesses, building simple systems, navigating ADHD, setting goals that align with your capacity, and choosing strategy rooted in Scripture—not blind hustle. Expect warmth, honesty, laughs, and the steady reminder that your business doesn’t get to demand your entire soul.
If you’re building something meaningful and wondering if there’s a better way to do this—there is. Pull up a chair. Let’s talk it through. It's gonna be fun!
