There’s a difference between being meek and being weak.In business, people often mistake meekness for weakness.

Proverbs 22:4 reminds us that humility and reverence lead to life, honor, and riches—but in that moment, Ernie let pride take the wheel. In today’s episode, Ernie shares the story, the fallout, and the shift that taught me what meekness really looks like in the marketplace. This is a public episode.
