What this episode covers
Brent Grinna has hosted over 100 Advancement greats on the RAISE Podcast. JD Beebe, founder of ThankView and now-president of EverTrue, was one of those first 100 guests, and he and Brent had a lot of fun with his episode of the RAISE podcast. This week, JD turns the tables and asks Brent to share his own story with our listeners. We learn about Brent’s childhood growing up in “The Hometown of the World.” His first leadership experience showing pigs in the 4H club (and winning the purple ribbon at “the Cadillac of pig contests”). The tough-love sports coaches who shaped his younger years on the plains of Iowa. His first trip to NYC to interview at Lehman Brothers in Times Square. And of course, the story of how EverTrue came to life.
