Welcome to the Bubble
We’re Michael and Kathryn Redman, the founders and owners of Half a Bubble Out.
For more than 24 years, we’ve built our own companies while helping other business owners build theirs. We’ve developed marketing strategies, led teams, made payroll, navigated difficult seasons, experienced rapid growth, and made enough mistakes to know that growth and success aren’t always the same thing.
Before becoming business owners, we were pastors. It may seem like an unusual path into marketing and leadership consulting, but our work has always centered on people: what motivates them, what earns their trust, and what helps them grow.
Today, our team helps companies address two challenges that often affect one another: marketing that isn’t producing enough growth and leadership that needs to grow with the business.
Experience That Goes Beyond Theory
TOGETHER WE'VE:
Built and led two seven-figure companies
Worked with hundreds of organizations and more than 1,000 leaders
Been featured in Forbes and Entrepreneur
Written the #1 bestselling book Fulfilled: The Passion & Provision Strategy for Building a Business with Profit, Purpose, and Legacy
Helped companies strengthen their marketing, leadership, and capacity for growth
We believe business has the power to change lives.
A healthy business does more than produce revenue. It creates meaningful work. It supports families. It serves customers. It gives people opportunities to grow and contribute. And when it is led well, its impact reaches far beyond its owners.
We don’t believe business success should consistently come at the expense of your health, your relationships, or the people who work for you.
Building a profitable and fulfilling company isn’t simple. But you don’t have to figure out every part of it alone.
Tell us what’s happening in your business, where you want to go, and what may be getting in the way.

Our Core Values
Community
Don’t go it alone- in business or in life.
Trust
Trust is made up of both competence
(you’re good at what you do) and character
(you’re a good human).
Kindness
Thinking of others more than yourself. Loving well, through encouragement, correction and hospitality.
Fun
We enjoy our work and the people we work with.
Authenticity
This is a no BS zone. Just be yourself.
About the Name…
“Half a Bubble Out” comes from a carpenter’s level. When the bubble is slightly off center, something is just a little out of the ordinary.
For us, the name represents the balance between fresh thinking and a solid foundation: being creative enough to see possibilities other people miss, but grounded enough to turn those ideas into work that actually delivers.
It’s an unusual name we know. After more than two decades, we’re still rather fond of it.
