What happens when your career in SaaS, your faith, your marriage, and your health all collide in real life?
Brad McGinnity, Chief Revenue Officer at Tithely, shares his journey from stumbling into startup sales to leading revenue at a 50,000-customer global fintech platform serving churches and nonprofits.
We talk about startup pressure, almost running out of cash, getting married young, raising three daughters, rebuilding after divorce shaped his teenage years, and why he believes in exercising every single day — no matter what.
What you’ll learn:
• Why founders shouldn’t chase the exit
• How near-bankruptcy builds confidence
• The “GPA method” for balancing life roles
• Why exercise is non-negotiable for leaders
• How faith and business can align
