The Guidelight
The Guidelight — Hosted by Jason Trent
The Guidelight is for leaders like you — business owners, presidents, and CEOs who’ve built something remarkable and are now asking, “What’s next?”
Hosted by Jason Trent, each episode dives beyond the spreadsheets to explore what truly matters when selling, scaling, or reshaping your company — your people, your purpose, and your next chapter.
You’ll hear real stories and expert insights from those who’ve stood where you are, uncovering how to protect what you’ve built while stepping confidently into the future with clarity and peace of mind.
If your company’s EBITDA is between $2 and $10 million, this is your space to gain perspective that goes far beyond the deal. Because your next chapter matters just as much as the one you’ve built.
🎧 Listen. Reflect. Lead with Light.

Authentic Leadership: Why It Matters More Than Ever
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
True leadership starts from the heart, not the spotlight.
In this episode, I step away from the usual polish to talk about something deeper: authenticity.
Authenticity begins with God. Before we can lead others, we must be real with Him laying down our burdens and trusting His plan. When I handed Him my worries about family, work, and faith, peace followed.
At home and in leadership, authenticity means presence. It’s choosing to listen, pause, and connect when life feels crowded. It’s showing up as someone willing to care.
In our teams and ministries, authenticity is leading with transparency and hope. It’s reminding people that even in hard seasons, God’s promises never waver.
The Psalms show us that honesty with God always brings us back to hope.
Tune in now and let’s lead with authenticity that transforms hearts and strengthens faith.
