Darren Shearer is the founder and CEO of High Bridge Media. He is also the director of the Theology of Business Institute, a global think tank with the mission of helping marketplace Christians to disciple their co-workers, companies, industries, and communities. He had previously served in the air force and assumed that ministry took place in a church building or through some sort of church program. He was leaving the base one day to do some volunteer work through his church when God spoke to him and said, "This base is your ministry," and that changed his thinking into traditionally being the pastor's son, and the ministry was all about the church. It was a pretty revolutionary moment for him, and it led him to seminary, the airforce, and business school. During business school, he considers his career path and realizes that God wants him to start a business, but he has no idea what it will be. That's when he remembered what he liked to do, like academic writing, and that's when he decided to write his first book and start a publishing company. In this episode, Darren mentioned that If you are trying to influence people, whether through communicating an idea or obtaining an investor or deal flow, look no further than Jesus as an example and as a place to truly derive some principles to underpin your marketing approach.
