7 Biblical Business Principles from Boaz (Biblically Proven_) · Bible Ascent

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What if the secret to building generational wealth was hidden
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: in a love story written three thousand years ago, not
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: in a business school text book, not in a Silicon
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Valley podcast, but in the ancient fields of Bethlehem, where
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: one man proved that you can become extraordinarily wealthy without
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: selling your soul. His name was Boaz, And before you
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: think this is just another Bible story, let me tell
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: you what he really was. A real estate mogul, an
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: agricultural entrepreneur, and a master negotiator who built an empire
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: so successful that his blood line produced kings, not just
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: any kings, but King David, and eventually his family tree
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: led directly to Jesus Christ himself. But here is what
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: will blow your mind. Boaz did not build his fortune
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: through the tactic's modern business gurus tell you are necessary.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: He did not crush his competition, He did not exploit
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: his workers. He did not cut every corner to maximize profit. Instead,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: he did something that sounds completely insane by today's standards.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: He left money on the table. He protected the vulnerable,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: he operated with radical transparency, and he became one of
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: the wealthiest men of his generation. Now, before we go
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: any further, I need you to do something right now.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: If you are serious about building wealth that lasts beyond
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: your lifetime, hit that subscribe button and here is the
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: real test. Drop a comment below saying, Boaz, if you
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: are ready to commit to these seven principles, because what
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I am about to share is not theory. This is
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: a proven blueprint that has created more lasting prosperity than
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: any modern business strategy. And the fifth principle that is
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: the one ninety percent of successful entrepreneurs completely ignore, yet
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: it is the key to why their wealth disappears within
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: one generation. Picture this scene with me. The sun is
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: just rising over the hills of Bethlehem. Golden fields of
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: barley stretch as far as you can see. Dozens of
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: workers are already moving through the harvest, their sickles flashing
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: in the early morning light. The air is filled with
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: dust and the sound of grain being cut and bundled.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Then a figure appears at the edge of the field.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: This is the owner Boaz. He is walking toward his
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: workers and everyone notices. They pause to see what he
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: will say. Will he bark orders, demand higher productivity, criticize
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: their technique. No. Instead, the first words out of his
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: mouth are these the Lord be with you. And here
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: is what stops me. Every single time I read this passage,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: they respond immediately, the Lord bless you, they call back.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: This was not scripted. This was not some corporate slogan
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: they memorized in orientation. This was genuine. This was culture,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: and it reveals the first game changing principle, principle one,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: the foundation of winning culture. In the Book of Ruth,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: chapter two, verse four, we see Boaz establishing something that
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Harvard Business School calls psychological safety and Google's Project Aristotle
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: identified as the number one predictor of team success. But
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Boaz was doing this three millennia before modern research caught up.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: He created a culture where the presence of something greater
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: than profit was acknowledged every single day, not in a
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: manipulative way, not as empty religious performance, but as the
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: genuine foundation of how business was conducted. His greeting, the
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Lord be with you set the tone for everything that followed. Now.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: I know some of you are thinking that is great
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: for ancient Israel, But what does blessing your employees have
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: to do with hitting quarterly targets everything. Let me break
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: this down with hard data that modern companies are finally
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: discovering companies with strong positive cultures have thirty three percent
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: higher revenue growth, they experience fifty one percent lower turnover.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Their employees are three hundred percent more innovative. This is
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: not motivational fluff. This is from studying thousands of organizations
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: over decades. When people feel valued, when they sense they
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: are part of something meaningful, when leadership genuinely cares about
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: their well being, performance skyrockets. Think about Chick fil A.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: They close on Sundays, losing billions in potential revenue. Every
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: business consultant said they were crazy, yet they generate more
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: revenue per restaurant than any fast food chain in America.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Why culture. Their employees are not just workers, They are
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: valued teams members operating under principles bigger than profit. Sound familiar.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Boaz pioneered this three thousand years ago. Or consider Costco.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: They pay their workers significantly more than competitors. Wall Street
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: analysts constantly criticize them for it, Yet their employee retention
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: rate is ninety four percent compared to the industry average
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: of sixty five percent. The money they save on training
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: and turnover dwarfs what they spend on higher wages. This
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: is the boaz principle in action. When you build a
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: foundation of genuine care and values based culture, the financial
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: returns follow as a natural consequence. But wait, because the
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: second principle is where most businesses fail before they even start.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Principle two the intelligence of strategic investigation. In Ruth Chapter two,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Verse five, Boaz asks his foreman a question that reveals
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: his mindset. Who does this young woman belong to? Now,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: before this sounds outdated, understand what is actually happening here.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Boaz just spotted something unusual in his business environment, a
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: new person, a new variable, and his immediate response was
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: not to ignore it or make assumptions. His response was
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: to investigate. This is the principle of due diligence, and
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: it separates successful entrepreneurs from failed ones. Boaz ran his
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: operation with eyes wide open. He observed, he asked questions,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: He gathered intelligence. He made decisions based on information, not impulses.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Do you know how many businesses fail because people skip
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: this step? Seventy five percent of venture backed start ups
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: never return cash to investors. Why often because entrepreneurs fell
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: in love with an idea without properly investigating the market,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: the competition, the unit economics, or the team they were building.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Boas was different. When he saw Ruth gleaning in his field,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: he did not just notice her appearance. He inquired about
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: her background. He discovered she was a Moabite widow. He
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: learned she had left her entire homeland to care for
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: her mother in law, Naomi. He found out about her
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: reputation for loyalty and her incredible work ethic. All of
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: this intelligence gathering happened before he made a single decision
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: about her. Think about the modern application. Before you bring
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: on a business partner, do you really know them? Have
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: you checked references? Have you seen how they handle adversity?
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Before you invest in a market opportunity, have you validated
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: the demand before you hire that superstar candidate. Have you
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: verified their claims and talked to people who have actually
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: worked with them. I have watched entrepreneurs lose everything because
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: they trusted charisma over character, promises, over proof, potential over performance.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Your gut feeling is important, but it should confirm what
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: your investigation has already revealed, not replace it. Boaz teaches
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: us that the best business leaders are like intelligence analysts.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: They gather data, They ask hard questions, They observe patterns
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: they make inform decisions, and this careful approach protected his
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: wealth and multiplied his opportunities. But the third principle is
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: the most counterintuitive of all, and it is about to
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: challenge everything you think you know about maximizing profit. Principle
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: three the profitability of purposeful generosity. Here is where Boaz
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: does something that would make every profit maximizing consultant have
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: a heart attack. In Ruth chapter two, verses fifteen and sixteen,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: he gives his workers explicit instructions let her gather among
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: the sheaves and do not rebuke her, and also pull
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: out some hand for her from the bundles and leave
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: them for her to glean. Wait what he is telling
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: his employees to intentionally leave inventory behind, to purposely reduce efficiency,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: to deliberately lower profit margins. This sounds like business suicide.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: But here is what Boaz understood that most modern entrepreneurs miss.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Strategic generosity is not an expense, It is an investment.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: This principle comes from what God commanded in Leviticus. Farmers
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: were not supposed to harvest the corners of their fields
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: or gather every last stock. They were required to leave
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: something for the poor. The widow and the foreigner. This
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: was not charity, This was systemic justice built into the
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: business model itself. Boaz took this further. He did not
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: just passively leave corners unharvested. He actively instructed his team
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: to pull out extra handfuls and leave them for Ruth.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: He was creating abundance for someone in need, but he
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: was doing it through a system, not through random acts
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: of charity. Fast forward to the twenty first century and
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: the smartest companies are finally figuring this out. Patagonia donates
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: one percent of all sales to environmental causes and builds
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: repair programs to extend product life. This should hurt their
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: bottom line, right wrong. Their revenue exceeds one billion dollars
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: annually and their customers are fanatically loyal because they believe
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: in the mission. Or look at Warby Parker, for every
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: pair of glasses sold, they distribute a pair to someone
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: in need. They literally give away half their product. Yet
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: they are valued at over three billion dollars. Why because
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: purpose driven business models create emotional connections that transcend price competition.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: But here is the deeper insight that Boaz reveals. He
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: did not create dependency. He created opportunity. Ruth was not
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: sitting a waiting for handouts. She was working hard in
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: the field. Boaz simply tilted the playing field in her
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: favor by leaving extra grain. She still had to do
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: the labor. She still earned her provision, but he made
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: success more accessible. This is genius level business thinking. When
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: you systematically build generosity into your operations, you create what
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: I call a blessing ecosystem. You eliminate jealousy from competitors,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: You build fierce loyalty from customers. You attract top talent
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: who want meaning with their paycheck. You protect your reputation
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: in ways that money cannot buy. And here is the
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: part that will shock you. This approach actually reduces risk.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: When your community knows you are blessing them, they protect
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: you when economic downturns come. Purpose driven businesses weather storms
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: better because people root for them to succeed. Boaz was
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: creating insurance through General and it worked brilliantly. But Principal
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: four reveals how he protected his operation from internal threats.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Principle four the wealth protection of ethical standards. In Ruth
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Chapter two, verse nine, Boaz gives Ruth specific instructions that
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: reveal his approach to risk management. I have ordered the
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: young men not to touch you. When you are thirsty,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: go to the jars and drink what the young men
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: have drawn. This might sound like basic decency, but in
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: the ancient world this was revolutionary workplace protection. Boaz recognized
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: that Ruth, as a foreign widow, was vulnerable. Female workers
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: in that era faced constant harassment and abuse. But Boaz
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: used his authority as owner to establish clear boundaries. He
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: did not wait for a problem to happen. He prevented
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: it proactively. He created a safe environment where people could
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: work without fear. Now watch how this connects to modern
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: business disasters. We have seen massive corporations implode over workplace scandals.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Uber lost billions in valuation over toxic culture revelations. We
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: were collapsed partly due to leadership misconduct. The Weinstein Company
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: went bankrupt, Fox News paid out hundreds of millions in settlements.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: These were not just moral failures. These were catastrophic business
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: failures that destroyed shareholder value, ruined reputations, and ended careers.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: And they all could have been prevented by applying the
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Boaz principle. Create clear ethical standards, communicate them explicitly. And
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: enforce them consistently. But here is what most people miss.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Ethical workplace culture is not just about avoiding lawsuits. It
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: is about unlocking performance. Studies show that when people feel
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: psychologically safe, they take more creative risks. They they share
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: ideas more freely, they collaborate more effectively, they stay with
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: companies longer. Boaz also demonstrated something else in this passage.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: He invited Ruth to share in the provisions of his workers.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: He broke down social barriers. He treated a foreign gleaner
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: with the same hospitality he showed his own employees. He
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: created inclusion before it was a corporate buzzword. The modern
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: application is profound. How you treat your lowest level contractor
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: says more about your business character than how you treat
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: your biggest client. How you protect the vulnerable reveals whether
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: you are building something sustainable or just extracting value until
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: it collapses. Principal five the multiplication power of recognition. In
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Ruth Chapter two, verses eleven and twelve, Boaz does something
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: that transforms Ruth's entire trajectory. He says, all that you
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: have done for your mother and life law since the
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: death of your husband has been fully told to me,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: may the Lord reward you for your deeds. Notice what
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: happened here. Boaz did not just see Ruth's labor in
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: his field. He investigated her character. He learned about her sacrifice.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: He discovered she had left her entire homeland, her culture,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: her people, everything familiar to care for her widowed mother
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: in law. That kind of loyalty and selflessness was rare,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: and Boaz publicly acknowledged it. This is the principle of
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: merit based recognition, and it might be the most underutilized
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: tool in business leadership. Most companies reward results while completely
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: ignoring character. They promote the salesperson who hits quota while
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: overlooking the fact that they destroyed team morale getting there.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: They celebrate the executive who boosted short term profits while
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: ignoring the ethical violations that will sink the company later.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Boaz shows as something better. Yes, reward productivity, but also
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: recognize integrity, sacrifice, loyalty, and going the extra mile. When
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: you do this, you create a culture where people compete
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: to be better humans, not just better performers. Think about
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: the companies known for exceptional culture. Southwest Airlines hires for
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: attitude and trains for skill. Zappos offers new employees money
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: to quit after training because they only want people who
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: truly want to be there. These companies understand that character
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: creates culture and culture creates results. But here is the
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: multiplier effect. Boaz praised Ruth publicly. He did not pull
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: her aside for a private compliment. He acknowledged her openly
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: in front of his workers. This accomplished three things simultaneously. First,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: it honored Ruth and motivated her. Second, it told everyone
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: else what behaviors would be rewarded. Third, it set a
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: cultural standard that shaped the entire operation. Your reward system
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: determines your culture. If you only celebrate revenue, you will
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: get revenue at any cost. But if you celebrate character, integrity,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: and purpose alongside performance, you will build something that lasts now.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Principal six is where Boaz demonstrates mastery that most entrepreneurs
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: lack entirely. Principal six the legacy protection of transparent dealings.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: In Ruth Chapter four, verses one through nine, we witness
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: one of the most brilliant business transactions in history. Boaz
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: wants to acquire land and marry Ruth, but there is
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: a closer relative with first rights of redemption. What does
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Boas do. He could have manipulated the situation. He was
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: wealthy and influential. He could have pressured or bribed. Instead,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: he went to the city gate, assembled ten elders as witnesses,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: and conducted the entire transaction publicly according to the law.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: This is what we call legal integrity and transparent dealings,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: and in today's environment, this principle has become more valuable
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: than ever. One leaked email can destroy a reputation built
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: over decades. One hidden conflict of interest can topple empires.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: One shady back room deal can end careers and bankrupt companies.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Think about Enron. At its peak, it was worth ninety
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: billion dollars. Then it came out that executives were hiding
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: massive losses through accounting fraud. The company collapsed in weeks.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: Arthur Anderson, one of the big five accounting firms, was
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: destroyed as collateral damage. Thousands of employees lost jobs and
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: retirement savings, all because leadership chose short cuts over transparency.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Or consider Thronos Elizabeth hi Homes raised hundreds of millions
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: by claiming revolutionary blood testing technology, but it was built
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: on lies. When the truth emerged, the company dissolved, investors
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: lost everything, and homes went to prison. Temporary deception always
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: leads to permanent destruction. Boaz understood this principle three thousand
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: years before modern scandals proved it. He conducted his business
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: in sunlight, with witnesses, following proper legal procedures, and here
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: is the stunning result. That transaction is recorded in scripture
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: and has been studied for millennia as a model of integrity.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: His transparency created a permanent positive record. Here is your
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: practical application. In every major business decision. Ask yourself if
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: you would be comfortable with this transaction being examined publicly
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: decades from now. If you are signing contracts, ensure everything
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: is documented properly. If you are negotiating deals, make sure
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: all parties fully understand terms. If you are acquiring assets,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: follow legal procedures with appropriate witnesses and documentation. Boas also
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: demonstrated patients he gave the closer relative opportunity to fulfill
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: his obligation. First, he did not manipulate or pressure. He
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: presented facts and let the process unfold legally. Sometimes in
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: business you have to let opportunities pass because the terms
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: are not ethical. Those choices, though costly in the moment,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: build reputations that become priceless over time. Principle seven the
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: eternal impact of redemptive purpose. Finally, we arrive at the
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: deepest principle. In Ruth, Chapter four, verse ten, Boas reveals
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: his true motivation. I have also acquired Ruth the Moabite,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: the widow of Mahlan, to be my wife, to prepare
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: ppetuate the name of the dead in his inheritance. This
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: was not just a real estate deal. This was a
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: mission of restoration. Boaz was using his wealth to redeem
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: what was lost, to honor what was broken, to preserve
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: a legacy that mattered. This is what I call the
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: redeemer vision, and it separates mere business success from lasting significance.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Boaz could have simply bought the land as an investment property,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: but he chose to see it differently, as an opportunity
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: to restore a broken family line, to provide for vulnerable widows,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: to honor the deceased by preserving their name and inheritance.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: The greatest entrepreneurs in history share this quality. They solve
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: problems that matter. Henry Ford did not just manufacture automobiles,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: he democratized transportation and gave mobility to working families. Steve
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: Jobs did not just design computers, he put powerful creative
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: tools in ordinary people's hands. Walt Disney did not just
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: build theme parks, He created multi generational experiences of wonder
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: and joy. When your business exists to redeem something, to
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: fix what is broken, to restore what is lost, prophet
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: becomes a natural consequence rather than the primary objective, and ironically,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: purpose driven businesses tend to be more profitable long term
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: than those driven purely by profit. Here is why customers
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: increasingly choose brands that align with their values. Employees want
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: meaning with their paychecks. Investors are pouring billions into impact investing.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: The market is rewarding redemptive business models because people are
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: hungry for purpose. But here is what makes Boaz's story
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: so powerful. His redemption of Ruth and Naomi resulted in
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: him becoming the great grandfather of King David and a
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: direct ancestor of Jesus Christ. His aim is honored eternally,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: not because of how much wealth he accumulated, but because
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: of what he restored through that wealth. That is the
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: ultimate question every entrepreneur must answer. What are you redeeming
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: through your business. What problem are you solving that matters?
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: What broken thing are you fixing? What legacy are you
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: building that will outlast your lifetime? Because if your only
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: answer is making money, you are building on sand. But
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: if you are using business as a tool for redemption
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: and restoration, you are building something eternal. Boaz was not
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: just wealthy. He was wealthy with character. He built an
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: empire on seven principles that contradicted conventional wisdom but proved
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: themselves across generations. Positive culture, strategic investigation, systematic generosity, ethical protection,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: merit based recognition, transparent transactions, and redemptive purpose. These principles
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: did not just create success in his lifetime, they ensured
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: his legacy for eternity. His name is still honored three
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: thousand years later, because he understood that true wealth is
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: not what you accumulate, It is who you become and
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: what you leave behind. So here is my question for you.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: What kind of entrepreneur will you be? Will you chase
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: profit at any cost or will you build something that matters?
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: Will you prioritize quarterly results or generational legacy? Will you
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: be remembered as someone who extracted everything or as someone
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: who redeemed and restored. If you are ready to commit
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: to building business with integrity with purpose with these seven principles,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: comment Boaz right now, that is your public declaration, your
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: commitment to the path of the noble entrepreneur, your choice
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: to build wealth with character, profit with purpose, success with significance,
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: and listen, subscribe to Bible Assent because this is just
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: the beginning. Solomon built an empire that made Boas look
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: modest by comparison. His strategies for international trade, massive building projects,
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: and wealth creation revolutionized an entire region. The principles you
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: learned today are your foundation, but there is an entire
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: treasury of Biblical business wisdom waiting to be unlocked. Hit
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: that subscribe button, turn on notifications, and get ready. Because
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: you are not just building a business. You are building
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: a legacy. You are not just making money, You are
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: making an impact. You are not just succeeding in commerce,
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: you are succeeding in character. That is the Boas way.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: That is the Bible Assent way. That is the path
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: from profit to purpose, from success to significance, from wealth
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: to legacy. The choice is yours. Make it count
