On this episode of The 615 Podcast, host Nick Woodard welcomes back mentor and serial entrepreneur Gabriel Sedlak for a candid conversation about faith, family, and business. Gabe shares how he and his wife Holly built a family-first life on purpose, what he learned from losing a 17-year income stream in a five-minute Zoom call, and how he now lets peace—not comfort or money—guide every decision. If you’re trying to honor God, lead your family well, and build something meaningful, this one’s for you.
Highlights
Why Gabe’s core identity is husband and father, not entrepreneur
Turning a house into a home—and how Holly creates the atmosphere
Losing everything in business and learning he could rebuild from the inside out
Knowing when God is closing a door vs. calling you to persevere
Non‑negotiable family boundaries and showing up for your kids
Servant leadership, integrity with money, and a warning about manipulative “high-ticket” hustle culture
Tune in to hear Gabe and Nick unpack real stories, real failures, and real faith—and walk away encouraged to design your own life on purpose, with God, family, and integrity at the center.
