J.B.’s work not only empowers small businesses and leaders to pursue their entrepreneurship journey through different tools and perspectives but also provides his journey and wisdom as examples to seek God and rely on the virtues we hold as believers, understanding that there are fights that will require faith, hope, charity, prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance. His work goes beyond the numbers, the marketing, and the networking as he finds his foundation in Christ as a believer, family man, and entrepreneur.
