More Than a Podcast

How the CATALYST is Fueling Gilbert’s Entrepreneurial Spirit

In the heart of Gilbert, Arizona, a quiet revolution is taking place—one powered not by big corporations, but by the local voices, dreamers, and doers who are shaping the community's economic and cultural fabric. Among them is JW Rayhons, host of the More to Life Than Money podcast, who found the perfect creative home in the CATALYST, Gilbert’s Business Resource Center.

"Producing More to Life Than Money at the CATALYST has been a game-changer—not just for the podcast, but for me personally," Rayhons shares. "The energy, the resources, the people—it’s all designed to fuel ideas and amplify voices. It’s where community meets creativity, and that’s exactly the kind of environment every storyteller needs."

The podcast, which explores financial wellness through the lens of purpose and personal growth, has gained traction for its thoughtful conversations and real-world relevance. But it’s the setting—recorded within a resource center built to support local entrepreneurs—that adds another layer of authenticity and mission-driven intent.

The CATALYST isn’t just a workspace. It’s an incubator for ideas and innovation, a place where entrepreneurs, creators, and small business owners can connect with tools and mentorship that empower growth. From podcast studios and meeting rooms to workshops and coaching, the CATALYST brings together the amenities and atmosphere that help visionaries thrive.

For creators like Rayhons, the ability to produce high-quality content without leaving their community is more than convenient—it’s strategic. It allows local leaders to stay rooted while expanding their reach.

More to Life Than Money exemplifies how storytelling can drive impact. And the CATALYST exemplifies what happens when a town invests in places that nurture potential. Together, they reflect Gilbert’s evolving identity—not just as a place to do business, but as a place to build purpose.

As more entrepreneurs turn to platforms like podcasts, video, and digital media to share their ideas, the CATALYST stands ready to help them take that next step. Because in Gilbert, there’s more to success than profit—and more to business than just making money. There's meaning. There’s connection. And yes, there’s a whole lot more to life.
