Trusting God Over Job Security Led This Media Innovator to Launch KSL.com (with Russell Banz)
About podcast
What happens when an MBA graduate feels prompted to NOT get a job? Russell Banz told his wife he wasn't supposed to look for work after finishing his degree. The in-laws weren't thrilled. But following that prompting led him to discover the internet at a trade show, start his own company, and eventually build KSL.com and KSL Classifieds, the only major market in America that beat Craigslist.
In this episode of Why We Believe, host Nathan Gwilliam sits down with his former colleague to hear how God prepared Russell for decades before his biggest assignment. As a teenager, he felt prompted to read the entire classified section every Sunday. Years later, he knew exactly how to organize KSL Classifieds without opening a newspaper. Russell shares how a mission baptism of a Hell's Angels biker taught him about the Atonement, how golf became a gospel platform for his four kids, and why he refuses to take credit for any of it. "If I were to say this was my idea, I would be stealing from the Lord."
