Christian Professionals of Atlanta Ana Megrelishvili

Networking in business is so important, more important than some people realize. If you are trying to run a business by yourself, making decisions by yourself, planning everything by yourself, creating marketing plans by yourself – you are BY YOURSELF. But, when you can network with other professionals, you can “pick their brains” (so to speak) and bounce ideas of those who have gone before you in the battles you are now facing. You can talk about problems you are facing, hurdles you’ve encountered. You can bounce ideas of others. Some may even pitch in and help you accomplish your goals, etc. With Christians, it is especially important. Not only are you in business, but you are living out your values (at least you should be). That can create all sorts of additional pressures that most secular minded businesses are not really concerned with – but you are! What if you could network with business professionals who are also living Christian values, reflecting Christian values and advocating Christian values in their businesses? That would be WIN-WIN-WIN and WIN – amen! Our guest today is the founder of an organization called, “Christian Professionals of Atlanta.” Ana Megrelishvili is here to share information about this organization whose mission is to bring together Christian professionals in the Atlanta, GA area and help them to develop meaningful relationships through common faith, values and philanthropy. Amen!  This organization goes out of its way to achieve a positive impact on the community service to others. Ana also helps adults find their own path to positive change through her own coaching business, “Find Courage to Change.” Amen! Ana is also the author of a great book, “Finding Courage to Change.” Help me welcome to the program, Ana Megrelishvili.  Ana, it is such a blessing to have on the program today, I appreciate your time! First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Ana Megrelishvili?” What kind of obstacles have you run into while trying to grow your organization? Can you tell us what types of events and things like that do you hold? I noticed on the website that you do have speakers come in. These are professionals and non-profits from the Atlanta area? Share with us about your coaching business… what do you offer? Is this only available to those in the Atlanta area, or can someone work with you remotely? Share about your book, “Finding Courage to Change.” Why did you write this book? What would be the number one take-away someone reading your book will receive? Ana, this has been so interesting. If someone is in the Atlanta area and would like to get more information on joining the Christian Professionals of Atlanta, how can they do that? How can someone obtain more information? If someone wanted to get more information on your coaching practice, how would you like them to get in touch with you? Your book, “Finding Courage to Change,” how can someone obtain a copy of that book? Is it on Amazon? I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below. Folks, as we said in the beginning, networking is crucial to any business. It is absolutely crucial if you are a professional and you want to improve, get better at what you do and meet people who are like minded. And it is absolutely vital – if you are a Christian professional, to surround yourself with professionals who hold the same value system you do concerning Christian ethics and morality in business. Amen! Drop down into the show notes and reach out to Ana. Check out the Christian Professionals of Atlanta. Order her book, even if you are not in the Atlanta area, it will be a blessing to you. Amen!  And be sure to check out her coaching services as her Christian perspective on things could bless you immensely in whatever it is you are trying to do or grow in professionally. Amen!

About your host

Profile picture for Robert Thibodeau

Robert Thibodeau

I am a 12 year Army veteran as both enlisted and as a commissioned Cavalry Officer.
I am now a retired law enforcement supervisor...

I had my own business for seven years before I entered law enforcement.

As a cop, I was injured on the job on May 12, 2007 and after several surgeries over a couple of years, forced to retire in 2011.

As I was looking down the road to “what am I going to do next?” I started what is now known as a podcast (I had no clue at the time).

Within six months of starting (what I called) “My online radio program” I was offered an opportunity to be on nationwide AM radio. I learned A LOT in one year of doing that!

I then started the online Christian radio platform "Evangelism Radio" in the fall of 2010. It has had listeners in 160+ nations and all 50 states. We host 50+ Christian broadcasters on a weekly basis. We have been operating 24/7 for almost 14 years now. We have been rated #1 in the world by Shoutcast. com on several occasions in our genre. We recently transferred ownership of Evangelism Radio to another ministry so I could concentrate full time on podcasting, preaching and writing.

In 2018, I started the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast to conduct interviews with Christian influencers from all walks of life and to play their interviews on the radio station. (The KCR Podcast has its own time slot on Evangelism Radio)!
We now have over 1600 episodes and almost 1100 interviews (in just over 6 years).

Looking out at the future of online Christian media, I noticed there was no viable platforms that catered only to the Christian podcast market.

In 2023, we launched a networking platform called, "FaithCasters" which connects "Great Christian podcasters with Great Christian Guests!" This helps to promote the work you do through podcast interviews! Check it out at https://FaithCaster.org

We recently launched "FaithCaster Academy" which serves as a training hub for ALL of our trainings (podcast training / speaker training / interview training, etc.). Members receive access to ALL of our training programs for one low, monthly membership fee. Members also receive FREE access to ALL of the LIVE trainings I conduct (1 or 2 per month) - while non-members have to pay to access the live trainings.

Between my podcast training program, conducting podcast interviews, appearing on other podcasts as guests, speaking at conferences (in person and virtually) and the podcast networking platform, I guess you could say “I’m all in” when it comes to podcasting and online media!

My total focus is to do all we can to assist you to “Get The Word Out” about your mission, services, products, ministry, books, business, etc.
