Episode 3 – JEFF MONFORT, Guest Convo

 The first guest of the Podcast, Jeff Monfort, worked for McDonalds for over 40 years.  Climbing the ranks to management, he and his wife Mary became owner/operators of eight McDonald’s restaurants.  In 2018, Jeff received the Golden Arch Award, recognizing him as a top 1% Owner/Operator worldwide.

As a follow up to their episode on “Workaholism”, Ben and Chad talk with Jeff about the keys to his success:  how did he juggle the demands of work and family? What impact has his faith had over the years? And what challenge would he issue to men today?  Jeff plays sage & storyteller, citing Stephen Covey and Scripture while the hosts soak up his wisdom.  

Here are a few links from what we talked about.

One thing I ask from the Lord,
    this only do I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
    all the days of my life,
to gaze on the beauty of the Lord
    and to seek him in his temple.
