Nate Johnson: Keeping Your Focus on the Family


Listen Later

Are you saying ‘yes’ to the right things or the wrong things? 

In this episode, Jeff, Jeff, and Nate discuss: 

  • Nate’s transition from growing up in Indiana to building waterfront homes in Florida. 
  • Leading in business and leading in ministry. 
  • Diving roles and bringing in outsiders in a family business. 
  • Separating leadership from ownership. 

  

Key Takeaways: 

  • Be open to all opportunities - you never know the connections God will put in your life when you are open to serving, especially in the intersection of business and ministry. 
  • Consider your company’s mission as a statement that everyone can live by, such as Potter Home’s tagline: A Potter Home is built by our family, for your family, for the good of families in need.
  • You cannot do it all alone. The yeses you say outside of the home, are nos that you say inside the home. 

Keep it simple, focused, and relational. 

  

"If you have a heart for the Lord and heart for Jesus, hopefully, it's oozing out and influencing that you do." —  Nate Johnson

About Nate Johnson: Nate Johnson is the President & CEO of Potter Homes and has been deeply connected with Southwest Florida and its growth for over the last 15 years.  Potter Homes is a high-end waterfront real estate developer with a portfolio of work all through the coast of Southwest Florida.

Although Nate officially started his professional career in real estate development and construction management while attending Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana, his involvement in the industry began much earlier. Growing up with his father working in the construction industry, they’d frequently visit job sites together and Nate quickly learned that he thoroughly enjoyed the components of design and creation that go into real estate and development.

Nate cares deeply about the local church and has been involved in ministry efforts with Lifesong for Orphans, Harbor Network, and his local church Summit Church for over 15 years.

Nate’s goal is to have an integrated life, seeing all of his relationships, work, and service bring Glory to God while leading his family and seeing his kids flourish.
