Your faith is on the label, in the mission, in how you run the meeting. Tell us how you got brave enough to put it out front, and what it cost you.
, a Christian business podcast in San Diego
Founders · Faith · Purpose
A podcast where Christian business owners get honest about how God shows up in their business. Rooted in San Diego, open to founders everywhere.
Oct 17 Find us at the SoCal Christian Business Expo
Our mission
Faith doesn't clock out when the business opens.
Most business podcasts ask about revenue, hiring, and growth. We ask those too. Then we ask the question they skip: where is Jesus in all of it?
We sit down with Christian founders to hear how their faith shapes the way they build. The pricing calls. The hard seasons. The yes they almost didn't say. Their business doesn't have to be faith-based. They just have to be honest about where Jesus fits.
We're highlighting San Diego businesses first, because this is home. But the table isn't limited to San Diego. If you're building something with Jesus in it, wherever you are, we want to hear from you.
Salt&Found exists to spotlight Christian business owners and the God behind the way they build, so every founder listening knows they never have to leave their faith at the door.
Why Salt
Because Jesus called us the salt of the earth. Matthew 5:13
Why Found
Because every founder at this table was found first. Luke 15:24
Who we talk to
Loud faith. Quiet faith. We want both.
Faithful, not front-facing
You love Jesus and you keep your business separate. That's a real story, and most of us are living it. We want to hear how faith works when nobody's watching.
No business is too small. No testimony is too quiet.

Founders like you
Every business has a story.
Most of us aren't on a stage. We're in the kitchen, the workshop, the 9am meeting. This is who we make every piece for.
-
The CEO She prays before the 9am. Twelve people at the table and a decision nobody wants to make. She asked Jesus for wisdom in the parking garage, then walked in and led. Faith doesn't clock out when the meeting starts. Wearing: The Embroidered Crest Crewneck in Forest Green -
The builder He builds the crew first. Framed walls, Baja dust, and plans he knows by heart. He hires the guys other crews pass on and pays them like family. That's his sermon. Wearing: The Monogram Dad Hat in Khaki -
The mom founder Lunchboxes first. Then the launch. Crayon drawings on the fridge, a laptop wedged between the apples and the half-packed lunches. She builds in the margins of the day and trusts God with the hours she doesn't have. No business is too small. Wearing: The Monogram Dad Hat in Cream -
The student founder Class at nine. Clients by noon. A morning match, a campus full of brick and bells, and three paying clients she found on her own. She's young and she isn't waiting for permission. Wearing: The Embroidered Crest Crewneck in Navy -
The host He asks the question everyone skips. Headphones on, coffee going cold, a guest about to say the part they've never said out loud. He believes one honest founder story can point someone to Jesus. That's why the mic stays on. Wearing: The Mic Hat in Black -
The speaker Same man on the stage and off it. A full room, one spotlight, and the same hoodie he wore to rehearsal. He talks about hiring, margins and hard seasons, and he names Jesus without apology. Loud faith is welcome here. Wearing: The Embroidered Crest Hoodie in Navy -
The giver Saturdays belong to the street. Her team hands out hot meals downtown every week. She built the business so it could give, and she shows up in person to do it. You are the salt of the earth. She takes that personally. Wearing: The Embroidered Crest Hoodie in Black -
The worshiper Sunday resets the whole week. Hands up, eyes closed, a week of invoices and hard calls laid down. Monday will come. Today she remembers who all of it belongs to. Wearing: The Embroidered Crest Crewneck in Sand -
The maker No verses on the shop page. Sawdust, early light, a table that will outlive him. He does the work well and lets it speak. Quiet faith counts too. Wearing: The Monogram Dad Hat in Cream
