I agitate the world of business for the Kingdom of God and I'm having the time of my life doing it!
Shae Bynes
My life and business were completely transformed by encountering the unrelenting love of God and He interrupted my plans in the most beautiful way.
I wasn’t called to lead a guru movement with me and my expertise at the center. I’m called to lead a yielded movement that has Christ at the center. It is such an honor to have the opportunity to inspire, teach, and mentor Kingdom entrepreneurs around the world who truly desire to see God’s glory revealed on the earth through the marketplace!
Fun Facts: I’m a native Floridian and unapologetically addicted to sunshine and water. In 1999, I married my high school sweetheart Phil and we have 3 daughters ranging from toddler to college age. At my core, I’m a passionate storyteller who believes in the power of a story to change lives, so I am truly living my dream as an author, teacher, speaker, podcast host, and filmmaker…who knows what will be next?
My heart is to see men to walk in the fullness of their roles as sons, husbands, and fathers in the Kingdom of God. I tend to be like that big brother who tells you the truth in love that you need to hear.
I am a licensed massage therapist and owner of Crazy Good Massage in the South Florida area. I’m also the proud husband of Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur’s Chief Fire Igniter Shae Bynes and father to our 3 beautiful daughters.
Your thoughts and your emotions partner together for your success or demise.
LaTara Venise
I know what it’s like to hit rock bottom and experience wholeness through the healing power of Christ. That journey serves as a catalyst to healing for others through my work as a Soul Care Provider and the Founder of Color Your Soul.
I truly enjoy mentoring the Igniters in the Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur community, helping them to tend to their souls and succeed at discovering, developing, and delivering the vision God has given them.
Fun fact: I once owned 27 Pit Bulls. You can learn a lot about yourself owning a group of Pits.

Michele Holiday
As a former teacher and behavior specialist for my local school system, God called me out of a comfortable job to journey with Him in faith, entrepreneurship and grace.
Now, in addition to equipping teachers and schools through my training and consultant business, I help believers push past their fears to a living trust fall with God in their business and personal lives.
As a passionate facilitator of a local KDE meetup group, we continue to experience the transforming power of God through Christ-centered community.
Fun Facts: I love to travel, but truly dislike hot weather even though I was born, raised and still live in South Florida. I am border-line obsessed with planning, creating and designing layouts in my collection of happy planners.
Jesse Cole
Growing up, I saw the best of both worlds. My parents were church leaders and entreprenuers. So, faith and business has been apart of my life since as early as I can remember. They taught me about faith, boldness, having a vision, and treating people right. I took that spirit with me into the marketplace as an organizational leader in multiple industries. Now, as a full-time entrepreneur, I believe that leadership is not about what we can get from others, it’s about what we can get to them.
As a coach, my assignment is to help faith-driven organizational leaders demonstrate the power, authority, and influence of God in their life and business. I’m thankful that I get to be a part of a community where I can be my authentic self while serving others!
Fun Facts: I love watching documentaries, scheduling “ME” Days (no work, just play), and spending quality time with my wife and kids (usually enjoying family impromtu dance-offs or making crafts with the kids).
Brandon Galici
I’m passionate about showing others that it’s never too early to start partnering with God in your business. I desire to help people replace stress and anxiety with peace and comfort knowing that God has the perfect plan for them.
As a Christian financial advisor with Edward Jones, I have the opportunity to educate my clients on how to take control of their finances and steward the resources God has blessed them with.
Fun Fact: I voiced over television and radio commercials for my alma mater and became known around campus as “The Voice of West Liberty University.” A few of them still air today!
Let's storm the marketplace boldly with God’s love and leading and take our rightful place as leaders!
Tasha Glover
God has called me to partner with Him and this generation of Kingdom Builders and it’s truly an honor to do so.
As CEO of Tech with Tasha, I help entrepreneurs tackle technology, build communities and digitize businesses. One of my passions is supporting Kingdom-minded leaders; developing custom marketing blueprints through prayer and seeking Heaven’s strategies.
Jennifer REYES
Your faith, life, and business are way too valuable to allow distractions to keep holding you back making you feel stuck & spinning in circles.
If you ever feel slowed down by thoughts like:
…“I have tons of ideas and don’t know what to focus on first”
…“No one is going to pay me for my services”
…“I’ll go after that dream later, but first I just need a [fill in the blank]”
(website, biz cards, sales funnel, certification, drink! )
It’s possible to overcome all of these thoughts and break free from the repetitive patterns that keep you captive so you can finally step into freedom to start, grow, and scale your biz.
I help make selling your services simple & fun…without hustling!
FUN FACTS:
* I’m newly learning to play the piano.
(it’s never too late to start anything)
* My hubby & I met salsa dancing.
(we got married exactly 5 months later)
* I was surrounded by a swarm of beautiful dragonflies the day I became born again.
(God has a sense of humor cause as a lil girl I thought these were the most disgusting insects!)
* It’s a must for me to laugh often & be childlike
(not childish)
* I absolutely love going on solo silent retreats for several days
(just Abba & me…and sometimes my husband)

My purpose is to be a coach, strategist, and catalyst to entrepreneurs. I enjoy working with entrepreneurs to develop breakthrough business strategies, create strategic action plans, provide accountability, and overcome limiting beliefs. I give encouragement and provide a safe space for entrepreneurs to be transparent about their concerns and find solutions to gain momentum in the marketplace.
