“My company owned my best thoughts. I realized my family could benefit from ideals making my firm great. Let’s start here.”

Not what I expected…at all.

I sat pen in hand at a little BBQ joint eager for organizational insight. It was my first meeting with a CEO leading a company with over $8 billion in assets under management. I was conflicted. I didn’t barely sleep the night before to hear pastoral advice from a business genius.

Over 10 years later he has walked me through valleys and guided me up peaks. Counselor, confidant and coach. It’s impossible to communicate the wisdom, the value, God has brought into my life through him. Today he is board chair and god father to my kids.

But I will never forget the first lesson, God’s principles apply to all of life, so give your best to all under your care.

Vapor Ministries does have great clarity around our Vision, Mission, Values and preferred Culture. My family would not, if my mentor hadn’t shown me, the best things can be Separately Mixed Together.
