Join Jenny and Lee as they sit down with Bridger Pennington—entrepreneur, fund manager, and founder of Fund Launch—as he shares his journey from launching small businesses in college to running multi-million-dollar investment funds.

He challenges common beliefs about balance, emphasizes the power of self-talk and ownership, and explains why leaning into meaningful work brings true satisfaction.
This conversation weaves together themes of entrepreneurship, family values, leadership, and spiritual growth, offering listeners both practical wisdom and heartfelt encouragement to be "all in"—in business, life, and faith.
