ABOUT
HELLO THERE, MY FELLOW ENTREPRENEUR! MY NAME IS DUSTY HEGGE. I’M THE HOST OF THE MORE THAN AMBITION PODCAST AND FOUNDER OF CAFFEINATED SITES.
I’M THRILLED YOU’RE HERE.
My goal is to help you gain business discernment -
So you can filter what advice and business decisions you choose to pursue through the lens of what will best serve YOUR unique owner’s intent, season of life, and overall vision for your life and work. Instead of tirelessly chasing trends desperate for something, anything, to help you gain the traction you know you’re capable of.
Business shapes culture.
Business changes minds.
Business impacts lives.
Imagine the kind of world we would live in if more Christians took up space in that sphere.
Imagine the kind of freedom, rest, and peace the rest of the world could experience all by God's grace alone - if we simply did good work and loved people as Jesus loves us.
What if we stopped compartmentalizing our work from our church from our home and instead saw it all as different outlets for the same great work - enjoying time with our Savior and sharing that joy with everyone?
What is we lived more ministerially in EVERY aspect of our lives? The ripple effect of that kind of love and freedom would be incredible. Unstoppable. Life changing. And you can be a part of that kind of impact!
That's why I am so passionate about equipping Christian entrepreneurs to grow businesses with intentionality and surrender. My guess is that you want to do good work. You want to be obedient and pursue your God-given goal of running a business.
And to do that you need the practical, strategic steps to open, operate, and grow a business that supports the kind of life God has called you to live.
You need a strong foundation built on intentionality, humility, and surrender.
As a business consultant and educator, it’s my joy to come alongside you and support, teach, and guide you as you bravely - faithfully - pursue your God-given goals!
It all starts with 1) seeking God’s will and 2) surrendering to His perfect timing, provision, and plan and then intentionally stewarding the roles he’s blessed you with.
It’s gonna be fun!

The biggest lesson in my 8+ years of online business education and experience?
Just how greatly stewarding my relationship with God and my family and my home impacts my work - and all facets of my life. And although that sounds obvious when we say it out loud, I’ve noticed very few of us actually live out this truth.
I don’t want to only glorify God in my paid work - as if THAT alone is my one true calling - my purpose. That’s ridiculous! Hard pass on that, thank you very much. Instead, I want to walk in the truth that God has blessed me with multiple responsibilities, roles, and assignments that are ALL meant to glorify God and bless myself and those around me.
When my perspective shifted from “I can’t wait to be able to pursue my goals.” to “How can I utilize my skills, passion, and interests in my CURRENT season and take faithful, foundational steps towards living the life I know God has called me to NOW - not in a someday soon season.” - everything shifted for me.
I felt freedom, peace, and a newfound excitement in roles and responsibilities that were beginning to feel less like a gift - and more like a trap.
Maybe you’ve felt that way too?
Trapped within motherhood. Trapped within your soul-sucking 9-5. Trapped in your marriage, in your singleness, in your childlessness, or in whatever season of life you’re in. Maybe you feel trapped too? Waiting and dreaming and fantasizing about a time when someday you can do good work. When someday you’ll be successful. When someday you can pursue growing a business - or earning the degree - or accomplishing the goal that you feel God calling you to.
What if instead, you surrendered those dreams and goals to God? My bet is you’re already living a version of those goals right at this very moment if you stopped and looked around at all that God has blessed you with.
Ask yourself, as I did - “How can I use my skills, talents, and interests right NOW?" How can I glorify God in the work I am doing at this moment - whether it’s folding the laundry or growing a business?”
Pair that mindset shift with a killer business strategy and you’ve got yourself the same cocktail of breakthroughs God blessed me with as I begin to double down on my work in this space. I know you’re just as ready, just as eager, and just as ambitious as I am - you and I CAN pursue our goals and dreams right now, we just need to surrender them to God first and allow Him to direct our next steps.
