#22 - The Lighthouse Collective: Beacons of Boldness with Stuart Macmillan

The Nonprofit Renaissance

Embarking on a transformative journey, we're joined by Stuart McMillan, a beacon of leadership and faith, to illuminate the foundational principles of the Lighthouse Collective. Stuart's rich heritage within the Salvation Army and his ascent in the direct selling arena have crafted a unique perspective, blending unwavering spirituality with robust business acumen. As we navigate through his Canadian lineage to his sunny Floridian life, we uncover the pivotal moments that not only led to his U.S. citizenship but also to the creation of his visionary collective. Engage with us as Stuart shares the profound impact of Jamie Winship's "Living Fearlessly" on his work, and how it harmonizes with his commitment to fostering professional development alongside spiritual enrichment.
In this episode, the essence of the Lighthouse Collective comes to light, revealing how biblical scripture and life's intrinsic rhythms can coalesce with leadership lessons from Stuart's "Lessons from the Lighthouse." Stuart advocates for a seamless integration of work, faith, and family life through hard work and dedication. His candid reflections on ego in leadership and the personal significance of Maine's coastal serenity offer a heartfelt approach to guiding others. Join us as we discuss the intentional selection of speakers and the collective's digital incarnation, providing a compass for those aspiring to lead with conviction and clarity.
