Undivided Life

What Undivided Life does

Undivided Life is a strategy and culture consulting firm headquartered in Irving, Texas, that serves growing organizations, business leaders, and select nonprofits. The firm's core offering pairs traditional consulting engagements (strategic planning, leadership development, culture transformation) with a differentiated fractional executive service called 'Executives Down the Hall,' in which principals embed inside client organizations across marketing, sales, operations, finance, and coaching functions. Its underlying methodology is the proprietary 'Business as a Blessing' (BaaB) framework, layered with the six-pillar Culture Foundations curriculum and the third-party Harrison Assessment for team optimization and hiring. The firm is faith-based in orientation and primarily targets the Catholic and Christian business community.

The business operates four distinct revenue streams. Professional services revenue comes from consulting engagements and fractional executive placements, priced via application or quote (e.g., Inner Circle 1:1 coaching with founder Jeff Schiefelbein at $1,500/hour). Speaking revenue is generated through 50+ customized keynotes and workshops annually for corporate events, conferences, and executive retreats. Recurring digital revenue is produced via the Kajabi-hosted Culture Foundations program (six courses plus bonuses, bundled at $500 against a stated $3,000 value), the $199 Optionality options-trading course, and the $4,999 Demystifying Business Buying course, the latter bundling peer community access. Distribution relies on a hybrid sales-led and community-led GTM motion, with content marketing across the BeatiDudes podcast, the 'Thank God It's Monday' newsletter, the Catholic Gentleman apostolate (1M+ monthly reach), and 30+ podcast guest appearances annually.

Beyond consulting, the firm operates a holding-company arm — Undivided Life Holdings — that has acquired a majority stake in McKnight Construction Firm (2022) and become co-owner of Howdy Homemade Ice Cream (December 2025), the latter targeting 60+ new retail locations and 1,000+ jobs for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities by 2030. The firm is bootstrapped and founder-owned, with no disclosed venture capital or private equity backing, and operates with a distributed leadership team of seven named members.
