What is your Impact?

In Episode 38 of The IMPACT Show, Jeremy and Maddie break down one of the most underrated and misunderstood leadership mandates: prudence — the discipline of leading with foresight, wisdom, and sound judgment.

But first, the duo recaps last week’s unforgettable conversation with Mason Carter from Crowe's Barbecue, whose contagious passion and servant-hearted leadership left a lasting impact. They discuss what truly stood out, why passion inspires action, and what leaders can learn from someone who is willing to wash dishes and clean bathrooms to set the tone for an entire organization.

Then, Jeremy and Maddie shift into a teaching episode focused on prudence:

• What does it really mean to be prudent?
• Why is it essential for effective leadership?
• How does prudence build credibility, confidence, and trust?
• What are the core qualities of prudent leaders?
• And—most importantly—can prudence be developed?

Through relatable examples, honest reflections, and practical tools, they unpack how leaders can cultivate self-awareness, seek wise counsel, slow down their decision-making, and build habits that lead to sustainable, grounded leadership.

Whether you're leading a team, a household, or yourself, this episode will challenge you to step back, think higher, and lead more intentionally.

Tune in, take notes, and take action.
This one will make you better.

In this episode of The IMPACT Show, Jeremy and Maddie sit down with Mason Carter—husband, dad of three, co-owner of Crowe’s Barbecue, volunteer firefighter, and chair-elect of the Morgan County Chamber of Commerce—to talk about what it really looks like to lead with purpose. From 16-hour smoke cycles and selling out on purpose, to mentoring first-time employees and asking them, “What can I do better for you?”, Mason shares how great barbecue is really just the byproduct of great leadership and a healthy culture.

Mason opens up about the community that carried Crowe’s through COVID, why small businesses are the true lifeblood of a town, and the unforgettable story of a young employee who went from being homeless to cooking for the governor in just 30 months. He breaks down hiring for heart, “batting a thousand” in customer experience, and why he makes sure his team sees him cleaning bathrooms and washing dishes.

If you need a reminder to be bold—start the business, shake the hands, join the chamber, “do all the things,” and invest your time where it truly matters—this conversation will light a fire under you… and probably leave you craving barbecue. 🍖🔥

In this episode of The IMPACT Show, Jeremy and Maddie sit down with Wes and Lyndsi Jackson to share a story of love, loss, loyalty, and lasting impact.

Wes and Lyndsi are widely known in Morgan County, not for titles or positions, but for the way they show up for children in this community. They have coached countless teams, poured into kids who needed steady voices, and created a safe place where effort, respect, joy, and belonging are taught one practice at a time. Through coaching, they’ve been more than teachers of sports, they’ve been builders of character, confidence, and hope.

But their story is also marked by heartbreak. In January, their son Avett, a vibrant, humble, gifted twelve-year-old who had a way of making everyone around him feel seen, was tragically killed in an accident. His passing shook the entire county, as it claimed the life of 2 seventh graders. And yet, through unexplainable strength, honest grief, and their faith—Wes and Lyndsi have continued to lead, love, and lift others.

In this conversation, they share:

• The joy and everyday goodness of the life with Avett
• The accident that changed everything
• How their faith has held them in the darkest of days
• The community that held them close
• The ongoing impact of Avett’s life — including kids making decisions for Christ
• To keep doing the things. To keep loving the kids. To keep showing up.

Their message is simple, powerful, and unforgettable:

Do the things. Say yes. Hug your people. Coach the team. Love the kids who need it. Be kind. Be present. And if you don’t know Jesus, get to know Him.

This episode is not just a story of loss.
It is a testimony of faith, family, and the beautiful ripple effect of a life lived well.

And Avett’s impact continues.

Because the story isn’t over.
It’s only beginning — for every life he touched.
