#28: Leadership Is Simple, It's Love with Jeff Applegate

Mar 2, 2022

What do you do when you think the Lord is blessing your efforts, but a door closes? Guest Jeff Applegate has learned a few times that those moments of doubt were also seasons where he had to trust and know that God would come through. Trusting God's character showed him the values he wanted to extend to his family and employees. Jeff knows that legacy is found in how you treat others, not just the business you build. He says leadership is simple; it's love. Tune in to hear about the fruits that came from a multi-million dollar investment right before Covid hit and more from Jeff's challenges as a CEO and man of faith.
