Today kicks off a special two-part conversation in our “Out with the Old, In with the New” series with someone who’s been a close friend of mine for over 20 years — Brian Owens. Our friendship goes way back, and getting to sit down and really unpack his story has been something I’ve wanted to do for a long time.
Brian recently retired after a long career as a director in the corporate world, and what makes this conversation so meaningful isn’t just what he accomplished — it’s the journey behind it. We talk about faith, leadership, overcoming adversity, and what it really means to put others first… not just professionally, but in everyday life.
He shares openly about the challenges he’s faced, the commitments he’s made, and the role his family has played in shaping who he is and the success he’s built. This is a story about resilience, perspective, and leading with purpose. I’m excited to share part one of this two-part conversation with my friend, Mr. Brian Owens.
