In this inspiring and refreshingly honest episode, host Bo Kemp interviews Jeff McCall, a rare kind of entrepreneur — one who has built thriving businesses inside some of the world’s most recognized corporations. From Hilton and Sears to TruGreen and now TurnPoint Services, Jeff has carved out a unique lane as an intrapreneur, known for transforming organizations from the inside out.

Together, Bo and Jeff explore what it means to build within a large company and why Jeff chose this path over a traditional startup or MBA route, the turnaround mindset — how Jeff steps into underperforming divisions and leads them to new heights through clarity, vision, and operational excellence, the unique risks and rewards of intrapreneurship compared to solo entrepreneurship, Jeff’s personal journey toward fulfillment and the moment he realized that leading from within could be just as impactful — and meaningful — as founding something from scratch, how faith and values guide his leadership style and tough decisions, including those that went against popular opinion but ultimately paid off, and practical advice for mid-career professionals who may feel stuck but have untapped potential to lead, grow, and drive change within their current environments.

This episode is for anyone who wants to lead boldly — whether you're climbing the corporate ladder or reimagining what success can look like within a larger system. Jeff’s story is proof that you don’t have to start from scratch to make a lasting impact.
