Danny Cevallos: Do you have a challenge for someone listening who has listened and now wants to do something from the podcast in the day to day light? He says, "Take Jesus seriously. I feel like that everyone thinks they know Jesus and very few people know Jesus" And he ends by saying anything you see in me that you think is worth it really comes from Jesus. That's my life. Like I, when I realized who Jesus really was, I sold everything and bought the field and it's been the best decision in my life.

Brent Beshore is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Permanent Equity, a Midwestern-based private equity firm.

One part of his Twitter bio intrigued me: "Former atheist who now follows Jesus."

And in this conversation, we explored why he initially rejected God, his turning point, and where to start with the Bible.

Brent's challenge: Take Jesus seriously.
