What do you want to be known FOR? 

What are you known FOR? 

In today’s culture many people make their stand on what they are AGAINST rather than what they are FOR. 

This month’s guest, author, speaker, & leader Jeff Henderson talks about the power of getting really clear as a leader on what you are FOR, what you want to be known FOR, and who you are FOR.

 We are all on the journey to be the very best Shepherd Leader we can be for those entrusted to us and we are growing together.  

 So in this episode I am going to take a small highlight from the most listened to episodes of 2024.  We were so fortunate to spend some time with some amazing Guests this year that really helped us dive into the aspects of Knowing, Guiding, Protecting, & Providing for those entrusted to us so that they can THRIVE.  

 We are going to hear highlights from Alex Vann, who has produced 13 Chick-fil-A Operators out of his organization, nationally syndicated show host & authors Ken Coleman & Dr. John Deloney, authors Joel Manby & Randy Gravitt, & retired Chick-fil-A President Tim Tassopolous

Listen in to Part 2 of my conversation with retired Chick-fil-A President, Tim Tassopolous, who enjoyed a 46 year career with the brand spanning 6 different decades, & led Chick-fil-A through some it's most robust growth seasons.
