From $1M/Day Losses to $300M Sale: Culture Without HR, 7-Question Filter, Your Idea Is Just an Idea

from Breaking the Barrier · host SENT

Jeff sits down with Nick Madden to break down why culture and strategy are not separate things, the 7-question filter he uses before committing to any business opportunity, and what backward planning from a 3-year vision actually looks like in practice. Jeff draws from his experience helping lead an energy consulting firm through a turnaround that ended in a $300M sale, co-founding Undivided Life, and taking ownership stakes in organizations where his skills, network, and faith could have an outsized impact. We also hear what it cost him, personally and professionally, to refuse a client on the grounds of faith and why he has no regrets.► JOIN THE MOVEMENT: #BESENTLearn More - ⁠⁠https://www.sentventures.com⁠⁠Join Catholic entrepreneurs in Denver Sept 8-11 - ⁠⁠https://bit.ly/4s9HmG3⁠⁠______________________► SUBSCRIBE TO BREAKING THE BARRIER⁠iTunes⁠ - https://bit.ly/3O8AzOU⁠Spotify⁠ - https://bit.ly/4c4OZHY______________________► FOLLOW SENT VENTUREShttps://www.linkedin.com/company/sententrepreneurs/https://www.facebook.com/Sentventures/https://www.instagram.com/sentventures/https://x.com/SentVentures
