Brett and Mary Elaine Baker are the proud founders of VAUSA, a company dedicated to helping military spouses (and likeminded talent) find flexible work. The Bakers share their personal stories, including how their faith has helped them navigate the challenges of military life, marriage, family, and business. If you are a current or former military member, you’ll likely understand the struggles Brett faced while deployed and reintegrating back into family life. Military spouses can relate to Mary Elaine, an elementary school teacher who was trying to “hold down the fort” and ended up finding her calling as a virtual assistant. 

Instead of letting hardship drive them apart, they used their experiences to create a business that empowers military families, offering not only jobs but also community and spiritual support. More than a business, both Brett and Mary Elaine confirm that VAUSA is their ministry – what God was preparing for them all along. If you’re looking for an inspiring story of faith, resilience, and purpose-driven business, this episode will hit home!
