So much of the Business as Mission (BAM) conversation focuses on startups—but what about finishing well? Whether your exit feels far off or closer than you’d like to admit, have you thought about who will carry the torch when you move on?

Our guest, Harry T. Jones, has spent years helping business leaders wrestle with this crucial question: Are you finishing well? When I first met Harry in Asheville, NC, he asked me that very question—and it stopped me in my tracks. It’s one thing to start strong, but what about preparing for a transition that honors both God and the mission He’s given you?

Harry knows this challenge firsthand. As the former co-owner and CEO of Blackberry Foods, he had to navigate his own exit, answering tough questions about leadership succession, business continuity, and kingdom impact. Today, he leads a Master Mind Group and just released a book, Succession Planning for Impact (available on Amazon), helping BAM leaders plan their transition long before retirement, sale, or leadership change is on the horizon.
