In this week's interview episode, I welcome Rick Niemi, CEO of Valor Compounding Pharmacy and host of the God’s Economy Podcast, to discuss leadership, faith, family, and entrepreneurship. Rick shares how losing a pharmacy business after 10 years in a “perfect storm” in 2006 led him to press into scripture, rebuild his identity as a child of God, and prioritize being a husband and father over his work identity. He reflects on growing up without a father, how that shaped a competitive “chip on the shoulder,” and describes a pivotal moment when he felt God tell him “I’m your dad,” with instructions to love his wife Hilda, father his children intentionally, and use his gift of speaking to encourage others. Rick explains Valor’s compounding work—customized prescriptions for needs not met by standard medications, including topical pain solutions, hormones, veterinary and pediatric formulations—and outlines challenges such as regulatory compliance, quality control, and restrictions on marketing compounded drugs.

He describes how faith influences company culture and decision-making through stewardship, prayer for wisdom and discernment, and a focus on operating in alignment with God’s will rather than worldly success metrics. Rick discusses the mission of “God’s economy” as living by God’s currency (peace, joy, and other fruits of the Spirit) and building a community rooted in personal testimony. He also shares why he started a rapidly growing Bible study at Longevity Labs, emphasizing that people find what they seek, that worldly success can still leave people empty, and that results belong to God while individuals are responsible for obedience.

The conversation covers prayer and quiet time routines, distinguishing God’s voice from one’s own thoughts and the enemy’s voice, and recommendations for new Bible readers to start in the Book of John and explore New Testament guidance like James, Timothy, and Corinthians. Rick highlights podcast conversations that stood out to him, including one with a young father in his Bible study about becoming a “good man,” and an analogy about keeping hands open to receive from God rather than clenching in control.

On this week's solo episode of the M3 podcast, I share how I finished reading the Bible through Malachi and share what reading Scripture cover to cover taught me about biblical history and the need for Jesus Christ as the ultimate king. I describe personal changes from the past 15 months, including being nine months sober from alcohol and several months sober from marijuana, mushrooms, and other drugs, feeling reduced anxiety and greater clarity, and developing discernment between godly and non-godly thoughts through constant prayer. I explain how reading the Bible has helped me to stop self-harming, focus on service and gratitude, become more intentional with words and reduce cussing, dress and post more modestly, change my social circle, and set stronger boundaries, citing Proverbs 4:23 about guarding the heart.
