Good Business with Clay Vaughan
Good Business with Clay Vaughan is a podcast about building companies that actually matter. Not just ones that grow, but ones that last. Ones that honor God, care for people, and create real value in the world.
Every week, Clay sits down with entrepreneurs, executives, and leaders who are walking that road in their own way. The conversations aren’t fluffy or surface-level. They get into the hard stuff—how to lead through chaos, how to build culture when it’s easier to cut corners, and how to keep purpose front and center when profit is shouting in your ear.
It’s a show about the kind of business most people want to run but few actually figure out. You’ll hear wins and mistakes, stories and strategies, but more importantly—you’ll hear what it looks like to run a business that’s both good at what it does and good for the people it touches.
If you want to grow, lead well, and make an impact that outlives you, this is your place.

What if everything you believed about success… was wrong?
In this powerful episode of Good Business, Clay sits down with co-host Luke Frazier to unpack a deeply personal story of identity, approval, faith, and leadership.
From growing up feeling unseen… to chasing validation… to ultimately discovering purpose through faith, Luke shares how pain, leadership, and calling intersect—and how redefining success can change everything.
This is a conversation about more than business. It’s about who you are, why you’re here, and how you show up for others.
If you’ve ever wrestled with identity, purpose, or the cost of success, this one is for you.
