    Sorry for the absence! With the holidays and sickness making the rounds once again, it took me a bit to get this one recorded! But we are back and very excited to end the year with this wonderful guest! Suzanna Jacobson (DISCOVER 2022) is the Executive Director of Christian Formation Ministries. A non-profit that helps families in recovery.

    We have a great discussion about her organization and the transformation they are going through (you might get a sneak peak in this episode), what it was like to be named a Louisville Business First 40 under 40 winner, imposter syndrome, and I even manage to work in a dad joke at the end.

    For more info on Christian Formation Ministries

    Also mentioned was our next Leadership Lab session Little Voices with Shawn Dawley on Jan. 25th. More info and to register HERE
