This is week two of a two week series on leadership. Our return guest - Jack Webster - says, ”Leadership is not about hierarchy...it's about influencing others.” If that’s true, all men should be leaders. Jack, a former CEO and certified leadership trainer, talks with Kurt and Chad about a book that long ago confirmed what he believed about leadership. The book? The Bible. And Jack knew it wasn’t about a “what,” but rather a “who” - Jesus. Jack’s been following him since he was a young man.

World class is a term that can get thrown around a little too easily in our society. Few people can say they were among the best in the world at something. This week’s guest beat an Olympic wrestling champion, among many other impressive feats. But for him, the biggest impact he can have is outside the wrestling ring, and for eternity. This week, former Ohio State All-American and international wrestling champion JD Bergman (www.Jdbergman.com) joins Chad and Kurt to talk about life inside and outside competitive sports.
