What if business could become a vehicle for purpose, service, and personal transformation?

In this episode, we sit down with Jonathan Cotten to explore the intersection of faith, entrepreneurship, and character. From navigating his daughter's health journey to questioning long-held beliefs and stepping away from a controlling religious environment, Jonathan shares how adversity reshaped his understanding of leadership, purpose, and what it truly means to serve others.
