Jeff Ragan on Being a Heart-Centered Leader Through Seasons of Adversity
IGNITE YOUR DREAM - A podcast by Amber Lilyestrom - Tuesdays
Do you have a dream of changing lives for the better? My dear friend and soul brother, Jeff Ragan, joins for a heart-centered conversation about these uncertain times. Jeff is the joy-filled Founder/CEO of KiZE Concepts Inc., an Oklahoma City-based healthy lifestyle company with a mission, passion, and purpose to change lives through food, service, and charity. KiZE’s flagship product is the KiZE Bars – clean & simple, gluten free, non-GMO, energy bars with a life changing give-back component. Each KiZE Bar helps create local and global impact. KiZE’s global initiative is a community building and transformational relationship in Haiti where 1,000 kids are fed daily in Haiti. Other efforts include providing resources and relationships to create the family-centered orphan home, school, and community to help not only survive but thrive! Jeff’s goal is to change the world for the better by “feeding” people in mind, body, heart, and soul so they live the best life possible and help others do the same. Jeff speaks vulnerably about leading in the face of uncertainty, and explains how he is navigating the unpredictability of it all. Plus, Jeff talks about how he reconciles misunderstandings as a leader and gives support to other aspiring entrepreneurs.
