Todays guest Herb Sargent was not always a man of faith.

(6:15) Keeping your company curious to grow (15:30)  Why he hired a coach (19:45)   Herb's Bio:  My favorite part of the job is knowing that we are bringing value to not only our employee-owners but also our customers. I also really enjoy the fact that, due to our employee ownership plan, I'm working for and serving our employee-owners. We need to brush off the stigma that the construction industry is just some dead-end job when in actuality, it's not a dead-end job at all. It's one thing if you go to college and then work in construction, but there's a lot of stigma in our society associated with not going to college and working in construction. In reality, there are ample opportunities in this industry — and you might even say equivalent opportunities — whether you go to college or not. There are so many opportunities for advancement, and we need to do a better job of highlighting that. I like to spend my free time with my family — I'm married to Tristine and I have two adult children, James and Savannah, and a step-son, Colby. I love to be on the water. It doesn't need to be a big yacht or anything like that. Just get me in a boat on the water and I'm happy. I also like to cook. I'm all over the place in the kitchen. I have a pizza oven, so I like to do fire-roasted pizzas. I also enjoy smoking meat. Getting together and making a meal with friends and family is always fun for me.
