Faith, Work, and Finding Your Footing in Business

In this episode of Fintigrated, I’m sitting down with my friend Wade to talk about what it actually looks like to step out of college and into the corporate world without losing who you are in the process. Wade is a Taylor University graduate and now works in outside sales at ADP, supporting accountants, consultants, and small businesses. We get into what college really prepares you for (hint: it’s not the textbooks), how mentorship accelerates growth faster than any class ever will, and why learning what you don’t want is just as valuable as finding what you do. Then we shift into the bigger conversation: faith in the workplace. Wade shares what “business as mission” means to him, why business can be one of the most relational mission fields, and how consistency, integrity, and genuine care matter more than a title or a platform. We also talk through what payroll actually means for small business owners, why having real support matters when you hire your first employee, and how ADP helps businesses move beyond duct-taped systems into something that can actually scale. If you’re early in your career, building in sales, navigating corporate culture, or trying to bring your faith into the marketplace with clarity and confidence, this episode is for you. 00:00 Welcome to Fintigrated + meet Wade 01:03 First “real” job lessons at ADP 01:34 What Wade studied and what college actually helped with 02:47 Mentorship, curiosity, and learning faster outside the classroom 04:19 Advice Wade would give his freshman-year self 05:46 The myth that career paths are only one or two lanes 07:01 Business as mission and faith in the marketplace 08:10 Reaching people through business: economically, socially, spiritually, physically 10:32 Why growth is not selfish when it creates opportunity for others 12:36 Holding values in corporate environments without judgment 15:43 Consistency, relationships, and avoiding workplace gossip 18:17 What surprised Wade most about payroll and “selling people’s money” 19:32 Relationship-based selling vs transactional selling 21:48 Rapid fire: misconceptions about sales and cold calling 23:54 Rapid fire: the unexpected impact of tax legislation 25:40 What ADP does well for small businesses hiring their first employee 27:29 The people component and “quarterbacking” support 28:43 Payroll customization: tips, overtime, PTO, benefits, workers comp 31:00 Reporting, employee portals, and reducing owner admin load 32:03 HR support, handbooks, and scaling past DIY systems 34:26 Closing + how to contact Wade #careerdevelopment #mentorship #faithandwork #businessasmission #sales #adp #payroll #smallbusiness #leadership #fintigrated Resources & more📁 FREE 2025 Tech Trends Report: https://resources.kristybarber.com/20...
