“I used to think selling meant selling other people’s stuff. Now I know selling means offering yourself—your beliefs, your heart, your worth.”
What if kindness, Clarity, and ruthless self-honesty became your greatest business strategy? In today’s episode of Doing Business With a Servant’s Heart, you meet a man—also named Steve—who reshaped his life and career by redefining what it means to serve. Early in life he believed service meant sacrificing himself. After years in the military, countless books read, and too many missed moments chasing “success,” he realized true service begins with tending to his own worth and purpose.
We follow him into a pivotal moment: a big mastermind room, introduced by a mutual friend, where he discovered not just like‑minded people, but like‑hearted people. That gathering became the spark that ignited his mission: bridging the gap between knowing and doing. He and his partner created “Just One Better,” a platform built to help everyday people apply what they know to actually live their dreams, one powerful decision at a time.
You’ll hear raw emotion as he recounts sleeping on a stool, carrying guilt over self‑care, wrestling with pride, and finally admitting that protecting his own “oxygen mask” was the key to truly serving others. His story isn’t about overnight success or perfect transformation. It is about messy Growth, brave vulnerability, and relentless dedication to be just one better each day. By the end you’ll be reminded that service isn’t sacrifice, it is strength. And that strength shapes more than your business—it shapes lives.
P.S. Ask yourself today, how can you serve yourself and others even if just a little bit. That single step could change more than you realize.
Guest Bio:
Steve Prendergast grew up surrounded by service, yet he never understood what it really meant. As a submarine officer, he served his country with integrity, but after years of service he felt something missing. When he stepped into entrepreneurship, years of reading, mentorship, and self‑reflection led him to a profound truth: to serve others he had to first believe in himself. Together with his partner, Steve launched “Just One Better,” a mission‑driven business aimed at helping people close the gap between knowledge and action. Today he leverages his military discipline, servant’s heart, and real‑world struggle to inspire and equip others to act with purpose, clarity, and compassion.
