In this episode of Women Influencers, I interview Danita Cummins, a business strategist for faith-driven leaders and the author of Promise Over Purpose. Danita shares her inspiring journey, from growing up in Oklahoma in a family of ranchers, roughnecks, and race car drivers to joining the Air Force in 1995. Her military service, which included working as a radar operator during 9/11 and supporting Operation Enduring Freedom, shaped her leadership skills and work ethic.

After her military service, Danita transitioned into the defense industry, working as a defense contractor and later with special operations. Her journey took a significant turn during the pandemic when she was laid off, prompting her to start her own consulting business. Danita now helps small to medium-sized companies, especially in the defense tech sector, with business strategy and organizational growth. She also works closely with nonprofits, leveraging her experience in both the government and private sectors to help organizations scale and thrive.


Danita’s entrepreneurial journey is deeply intertwined with her faith. She founded a crisis pregnancy outreach center, providing support to women facing challenges such as homelessness, abuse, and human trafficking. Through her nonprofit work, Danita has impacted countless lives, celebrating the birth of babies and offering essential resources to struggling families.


Her most proud achievement, however, is the ability to impact individuals' lives in real and tangible ways, whether through her work in ministry or through her coaching and consulting. Danita emphasizes that, while seeking purpose is essential, embracing God's promises can provide true peace and clarity.


“There are thousands of promises that God has for us for our life, and the beautiful hope is living in those promises every single day.”

Hosted by Veronica Malolos, CCIM-Founder and CEO of Capital Stack Real Estate Group-the Women Influencers podcast moves beyond surface-level success stories to explore the nuanced realities of leadership, ambition, and personal philosophy. Each conversation delves into the practical strategies and formative experiences of women who have shaped their fields, with a particular lens on business and commercial real estate. These are not just interviews; they are deep dives into the decisions, setbacks, and pivotal moments that define a career. Veronica’s background as an operator in the Greater Orlando market informs a grounded, insightful dialogue that resonates whether you’re building a company, navigating a corporate ladder, or redefining your own path. The discussions naturally span categories from concrete business tactics to broader cultural and societal themes, reflecting the multifaceted lives these influencers lead. This podcast serves as a resource for anyone seeking authentic perspective, emphasizing that influence is cultivated through resilience and insight as much as through achievement. Listen for candid reflections on balancing ambition with life’s other demands, the philosophical underpinnings of a leadership style, and the often-unspoken challenges of carving out space in competitive industries. It’s a series dedicated to amplifying voices that not only succeed but also thoughtfully pave the way for others.
