Contact us at [email protected] Dedrick spent 30 years at the highest levels of corporate leadership — as President of KFC, a key architect behind the Yum! Brands launch, and a force in revitalizing major brands like Denny's. By every visible measure, he was winning. But beneath the success was a leader running dry. In this conversation, Gregg opens up about the moment he hit a wall, what God showed him about self-sufficiency, and how everything changed when he stopped doing things for God and started doing them with him. He also shares what it looks like to lead a company as a sacred calling, why culture ripples instead of scales, and how he now defines legacy after a life built in the boardroom and the church. This is one of the most honest and substantive leadership conversations we've had on the podcast.Learn more in Terry's book, Culture-neer🔔 Subscribe for weekly leadership contentMain Quote:Mission says this is what we do.

Hustle may help you start, but it won’t help you scale. Legendary companies are built on intentional standards, clear systems, and a culture that refuses to tolerate mediocrity.In this conversation, Terry explains:Why excellence must be defined and operationalizedHow standards shape reputationThe difference between hustle and systemsWhy companies that tolerate mediocrity always stay averageThe hidden cost of poor culture and weak leadershipWhy customer experience will never exceed employee experienceHow leaders unintentionally create cultures of mediocrityWhy clarity is the real job of leadershipHow excellence compounds like interest over timeIf you want to build a company that stands above the competition, attracts loyal customers, and develops a reputation people trust, you cannot rely on effort alone.You must build a culture of excellence.Because the truth is simple:Legendary companies aren’t built by accident.They’re built by leaders who refuse to accept the average.We want to thank you for tuning in to the Culture-neer podcast.

You are a cultureneer — a cultural pioneer — and your leadership isn’t just about profit… it’s about purpose.In this episode of Culture, Terry sits down with Morgan Jackson, a leader who has served over 40 years with Faith Comes By Hearing—a ministry founded by his parents with a bold vision:Every person on earth hearing Scripture in their heart language.This conversation is a wake-up call for marketplace leaders who feel the tension between business success and eternal impact. Morgan breaks down why so much of the world is oral, why Bible access is not just about printed pages, and why the partnership between kings and priests (business leaders and church leaders) is essential if we’re going to finish the mission.In this episode you’ll learn:Why 70% of the world is oral (and why that changes Bible distribution)What it means to hear Scripture in a “heart language”Why Bible translation isn’t enough without Bible engagementThe strategy behind audio Scripture and community listening groupsThe “kings & priests” framework: why business leaders are essentialWhat separates a business that “donates” from one that’s truly kingdom-drivenHow Faith Comes By Hearing scales culture across a global organizationWhat kind of eternal ripple effect a gift like $10,000 can makeHow an investment can impact entire villages, prisons, and schoolsWhy the years leading to 2033 may be the most historic window in missions historyIf you’ve ever wondered:“How can my business make a real difference globally?”This episode gives you a clear answer.Because kingdom-driven businesses don’t just create revenue…They create impact.And when the marketplace and the church align around purpose—the world changes.We want to thank you for tuning in to the Culture-neer podcast.

You were never meant to separate your faith from your work.In this episode of Cultureneer, Terry sits down with Mike Sharrow, CEO of C12 — the world’s largest peer learning organization for Christian CEOs and executives — to dismantle one of the most damaging beliefs in modern Christianity:The sacred-secular divide.Mike shares his powerful story — from growing up in Alaska, navigating family hardship, and caring for his mother after a brain injury… to leading thousands of Christian business owners around the globe.But this episode is bigger than his story.It’s about yours.Inside this conversation, we unpack:Why 85% of Christian leaders live in “suspended animation”The dangerous myth that faith belongs at church, not at workHow businesses are the true mega-churches of unchurched peopleWhy excellence in business is an act of worshipWhat happens when leaders don’t steward their influenceHow to integrate faith without being “odd for God”Why identity — not willingness — is the real issueThe three measures of business success (economic, team, and spiritual value-add)How to have authentic gospel influence at workWhat churches must do to activate marketplace leadersIf you lead a company…If you manage a team…If you employ even one person…You are shaping culture every Monday morning.The question is not whether you have influence.The question is whether you’re stewarding it.You are not “just” a contractor.You are not “just” an accountant.You are not “just” an engineer.You are deployed.You are called.You are the culture.We want to thank you for tuning in to the Culture-neer podcast.

David has built a business of massive scale—yet his leadership is anchored in eternal values: stewardship, conviction, generosity, and gospel influence. Together, they talk about how believers should view business, the marketplace, and leadership through a kingdom lens.In this episode, you’ll hear:Why eternity isn’t optional for a believer’s leadershipHow obedience to God can cost financially (and why it’s still worth it)The shift from owner → steward (Psalm 24:1)Why company culture starts with eternal prioritiesWhy the marketplace is a mission field (not a “less spiritual” assignment)How compromise creeps in—and guardrails to prevent itRedefining success by what lasts: God’s Word + man’s soulWhy the church gathers Sunday—but scatters Monday–FridayIf you lead a business, a team, a family, or a ministry—this conversation will challenge you to think bigger than profit and deeper than influence.Your leadership echoes beyond your life.

There’s a quiet lie that’s crippled the Church for generations:“If you’re in full-time ministry, that’s real kingdom work… but business is just ‘support’ work.”In this Culture-Neer episode, Terry dismantles the sacred/secular divide and lays out the strategic partnership between pastors and marketplace leaders. Same kingdom. Same mission. Different assignments.You’ll hear why the marketplace may be one of the greatest mission fields on earth, why pastors are called to equip and release the saints, and how business owners can stop feeling like “secondary kingdom players” and start living as marketplace missionaries.This episode covers:Why “sacred vs secular” is a false divideHow the church advances when every believer walks in their assignmentThe role pastors play (equip + release)The role business owners play (influence + access + culture-building)The architect story that exposes a massive misunderstandingWhat honor looks like in BOTH directions (pastors ↔ entrepreneurs)If you’re a pastor or business leader, this episode will reset your framework and give you language for a healthier, more effective kingdom partnership.Culture starts at home — and your family is worth building on purpose.You are not average—and your culture can’t be either.

This episode of Culture-Neer is a rallying cry for leaders who are willing to do the right thing even when it costs them.We unpack what it means to be a CultureNeer through the lens of Dr. Mark Whitacre—the highest-level corporate executive in U.S. history to become an FBI whistleblower. As a senior leader at Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), Mark exposed one of the largest price-fixing schemes in American history, secretly wearing a wire for the FBI for three years. At the same time, he was battling his own failures, ultimately serving federal prison time before rebuilding his life and leadership on the other side.This episode sets the stage for Mark’s story and for the kind of leader you’re called to be—one who is willing to stand alone, tell the truth, and let God redeem even the worst chapters of your life. If you’ve ever wondered what integrity really looks like under pressure, this is where we begin.In this episode, you’ll discover:What it means to be a Culture-Neer in a world that rewards compromiseHow Mark Whitacre’s whistleblower story at ADM became one of the most significant antitrust cases in U.S. history Why even gifted, successful leaders can lose their way—and how grace can rewrite the endingHow to lead with conviction in your company, your community, and your homeWe want to thank you for tuning in to the Culture-neer podcast.
