Drawing from his personal and professional experiences, including his departure from the Denver Institute for Faith and Work, Jeff shares how this pivotal moment shaped his views on calling, identity, and leadership. Together, John and Jeff explore the often-overlooked emotional aspects of selling or transitioning a business. Jeff brings a unique perspective, influenced by his background in economics, theology, and entrepreneurship, and explains why understanding one's deeper purpose is just as important as any financial detail. Jeff also introduces his latest initiative, Better Exit, which aims to help business owners navigate these changes with emotional clarity and spiritual grounding. This conversation is essential listening for anyone considering their next steps—because exiting a business is not only about what you leave behind, but also about the person you are becoming throughout the journey.
