Quick question for the Borderplex. Who is the most interesting business leader you know who never talks about themselves?

That person is exactly who we want on The 323 Podcast. We feature El Paso and Las Cruces CEOs and owners who take their work and their faith seriously, named for Colossians 3:23.

Nominate them, or nominate yourself, at 323podcast.com. Or send me a message.

The best stories usually belong to the people too humble to volunteer them.

The control we feel over our business is, most often, an illusion. There's so much we can't control.

Jonathan Lopez and Drew Harris of Truvize Financial shared that idea on the latest episode of The 323 Podcast, talking about why business owners hold onto so much control over their company's finances and so little control over almost everything else.

It's a conversation about money, but really it's a conversation about trust. Who are you trusting with your family's future? Your business having a good year forever, or something steadier than that?

Jonathan and Drew shared the real numbers behind why so many owners are more financially exposed than they realize, and some simple, practical steps toward building a life that isn't entirely dependent on the business staying strong.

If you're a business owner, or you love one, this episode is worth your commute this week.

We are officially in the back half of 2026. The downhill slope towards 2027.

Wild, I know.

So here is a two-part question for you. What is one goal from January you are proud of so far? And what is one you are ready to let go of without guilt?

Celebrating what worked and releasing what did not are both part of finishing a year well.

Summer is winding down. The kids in our area are back in school. For many us that means schedules just got a lot more complicated. Pickups and drop offs, extracurriculars, homework, and so much more added on top of already busy schedules.

Having a teenager with a driver's license makes our life a lot easier, but we've already had one "who's picking me up?" text and we are only a few weeks in! Oops!

As I head into a busy season of growth with C12, it has me re-evaluating some things I've been saying yes to that were good but maybe not best use of my time.

What is one thing you said yes to back in January that, knowing what you know now, you would politely say no to today?

Not because it was a bad call. Because your focus has sharpened, and it simply does not fit anymore.

Naming it is the easy part. Letting it go is where it gets interesting.

We would love to hear it below.

“I never counted. I never got greedy to want more, more, more.”

That’s how Danny Nassar describes 22 years working as a commission-only mortgage broker. No guaranteed paycheck. His livelihood depends on closing business. And yet, Danny says he has never prayed for more of it.

Instead, he prays for what is best for him and for the person he’s serving, and then trusts God with whatever happens next.

On this week’s episode of the 323 Podcast, Danny shares how that approach has shaped the way he serves El Paso families, including being willing to walk away from a commission when he knows a deal isn’t right for the client.

But we talked about much more than mortgages.

Danny shared about growing up as the son of Lebanese immigrants, the Orthodox, Catholic, and Baptist influences that shaped his faith, and the season he’s in now caring for his elderly mother after losing his father last year.
There’s a lot of wisdom in this conversation about business, family, faith, and learning to trust God without trying to dictate the outcome.

The best episodes of The 323 Podcast almost never come from the people you would expect.

They come from the quiet ones. The owner who has been faithfully building for twenty years without fanfare. The CEO who integrated their faith and their work so naturally they do not think it is a story worth telling. It is.

If you are a Borderplex business leader who loves your work and follows Jesus, we would love to have you on the show. The name comes from Colossians 3:23, working as for the Lord.

Some happy news from C12 Borderplex. We are lauching a second C12 Business Forum for CEOs and business owners right here in the Borderplex.

If you have ever wished for a room where you could talk about your business, your faith, and your family without switching hats every ten minutes, this is that room. A small group of Christian leaders who meet monthly, tell each other the truth, and refuse to let anyone lead alone.

We have space for a few more leaders ready for that.

Curious whether it is a fit? Comment below or send us a message, and we will reach out. No pressure, no pitch, just a real conversation.

A fun and slightly terrifying thought experiment.

Imagine you had to hand your business to a capable stranger for two weeks. No calls. No check-ins. Just a clean handoff and a document.

What would you have to write down for them? And what would you realize only you actually know?

That list, the stuff living only in your head, is where your business is most fragile and least transferable.

What is one thing on your list you could get out of your head this month? Tell us below.

Leadership can be lonely in a way that is hard to explain to people who are not doing it. You are surrounded by your team all day and still feel like no one really sees the weight you are carrying.

That is exactly the gap a C12 forum fills. A small circle of Christian CEOs and owners who understand the seat you are in, ask the questions no one else asks, and walk the road with you.

We are opening a second Borderplex forum and would love to tell you about it.

Comment or message us, and we will reach out.
