In this episode, Jamie speaks with President and CEO of Coastal Community Foundation, Darrin Goss, Sr.  He describes his work as connecting people with the impulse to do good with the ability to do good. Darrin’s leadership style was shaped early as an officer in the Army.  His transition into civilian life taught him the importance of finding purpose and aligning your career to pursue that purpose.  We also discussed how he successfully holds that tension line as a leader between valuing people and driving accountability, something he describes as taking courage to get right. His insights on influence leadership are excellent.  Finally, Darrin shares the importance of staying true to your values as a leader - two of his cornerstone values are faith and family.  Darrin is a deeply respected leader who is making a big impact in the communities of South Carolina through the coalitions he builds.
