EP - 19 A grandpa's example leads to the building of a strong work ethic

In this conversation with podcaster, firefighter, and former minister Jon Sanders you will learn first hand what a powerful influence a grandfather can have on a grandson. Jon shares with us how his grandfather affected his life. Jon was fortunate to know his grandfather for the first 37 years of his life. Jon discusses how he and his grandfather built a relationship through intentional communication, a love for the outdoors, and working side by side on many projects.  With our conversation, we get to hear a great story of how Jon used to call up his grandfather and make plans to chase girls in Hawaii and get into trouble with his beloved grandfather.  Jon also shares with us how his grandfather was able to help him with many life lessons such as when his grandfather loaned him money to buy his first car. Jon's grandfather didn't just turn around and forgive the load but held Jon accountable for paying back every dollar. This lesson at a young age helped to enforce the value of money, that debt is real, and that a debt MUST be repaid.  Do yourself a favor, grab your favorite beverage, and join us as we honor another Cool Grandpa.
