#40: Faith, Leadership & Entrepreneurship | Henry Kaestner on Building Redemptive Companies

In this inspiring episode of the INNOVAT3 Podcast, host Ted Hahs sits down with Henry Kaestner — co-founder of Sovereign’s Capital, Faith Driven Entrepreneur and Faith Driven Investor.

From his journey as a serial entrepreneur to becoming a venture capitalist and mentor for leaders worldwide, Henry shares how faith and business can work together to create something far greater than profit: companies that transform people, communities and even entire industries.

He opens up about:

Why leadership is really about service, not power.

How to build redemptive companies that prioritize people and purpose.

The unique challenges of being a faith-driven entrepreneur.

Stories of impact from leaders and startups around the globe.
