    Chris Carneal on Entrepreneurship and Virtue

    Have you wondered if some people are just born entrepreneurs? What accounts for some leaders' willingness to take on risks others would not? And what happens when the company you've built seems unexpectedly fragile in a historic global pandemic?

    On this episode, Matt and Vivek interview Chris Carneal, the founder and CEO of Booster Enterprises and its flagship school-funding program, the Boosterthon Fun Run, for a conversation about what makes for healthy organizational cultures, what it takes to get an idea off the ground, and how to stay focused in a season of disruption.

    Justin Irving on Empowering Leadership

    Justin Irving on Empowering Leadership

    Does Christianity have anything distinctive to say about the nature and formation of healthy leadership? Are there echoes of Christian truth in proven leadership principles? For Christians called to lead in any context, these are some of the most important questions to ask.

    On this episode, Matt interviews Justin Irving, the author of Leadership in Christian Perspective and professor of leadership at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. The conversation is far-ranging, covering everything from how organizations can develop leaders, why character matters, and the place of "self-leadership" for any healthy leader.
