Description

Being a business leader isn't easy. Often, business leadership or entrepreneurship has been  described as difficult and challenging but also exciting and rewarding. It also comes with a lot of power that, if not wielded with care, will cause harm to the leader and to the people he or she leads. That’s why entrepreneurs, especially newcomers, need guidance navigating the complex world of business.

Our guest today, Luke Dooley of Ocean Programs, champions the cause for building strong, kingdom-centric entrepreneurs who will lead healthy, strong, vibrant workplaces and flourishing communities. He argues that only business leaders who are healthy in mind, body, and spirit can build strong businesses.
