Unseen Leadership Episode 22: Art Rainer on The Importance of Relationships

In this episode of the Unseen Leadership podcast, Chandler Vannoy and Josh Hunter are joined by Art Rainer who is the Vice President for Institutional Advancement at SEBTS and author of The Money Challenge. This past summer, he also released  a series of children’s books called The Secret Slide Money Club. During their conversation, they discuss how to understand your calling, focus on relationships, and handle your personal finances. QUOTES FROM EPISODE 22: “One of the mistakes young leaders can fall into is not connecting with the older leaders.” “We need to not neglect spending time with people who are not like us and are older.” “Too many young leaders give up way too soon.” “Financial health is an end in and of itself.” “The goal of financial healthy should be able to give and live generously.” “When you talk to those who are geared toward pursuing materialistic gain, they are often times incredibly financially healthy but they are still incredibly miserable.” “It is so important for future leaders to dive into books and study and read about the great leaders ahead of them.” RESOURCES MENTIONED The First 90 Days by Michael D.
