We sat down with Naomi Raine, one of the foundational voices of Maverick City, to talk about what really went down behind the scenes. From the highs of Grammys and sold-out tours to the real-life struggles that come with growth, this episode is about keeping it real—no filters, no fluff.
Here’s the breakdown:
🎙️ The Foundation: How a collective of “unknowns” started a global movement.
🎙️ Challenges Faced: Handling public drama, internal politics, and staying focused on the mission.
🎙️ Faith First: Why everything we do points back to God, even when it gets messy.
🎙️ Reflections on Leadership: The wins, the losses, and what we’d do differently.
If you’ve ever wondered how faith intersects with business, creativity, and culture, this is for you. It’s about building something that lasts—while staying true to who you are and who you’re called to be.
