What It Looks Like to Build A Business in Service of Your Family

We sit down with Lucas and Jessica Moser of Mosermade for their very first podcast appearance!
Lucas and Jessica run a custom woodworking sawmill and a 50-colony apiary off their rural Virginia homestead—all while raising five young children and balancing Lucas’s full-time engineering career.

Whether you're balancing a day job while launching a side venture or looking for practical ways to integrate Catholic faith into your work, Lucas and Jessica’s grounded story will inspire you to build with purpose.
