What do firefighting, church planting, and handyman work have in common? For Jon Sanders of Dakota Small Jobs, they’re all part of one wild entrepreneurial journey.
In this powerful episode, Jon shares:
✅ How he transitioned from full-time firefighter and pastor to starting a booming handyman business
✅ Why so many pastors are thriving in the trades—and what that means for your business
✅ The mindset shift that helped him grow from a solo operator to a 5-person team in under a year
✅ His unexpected path to launching a second home service business, 605 Blinds
✅ Why business is ministry and leadership is legacy
This is Part 1 of a two-part masterclass in service-driven entrepreneurship, faith-filled leadership, and building teams that last.
