Episode 008 - Michael King: Leading with Soul in Business and Music

When you think of a pastor, you might envision a life dedicated to sermons and Sunday services, but Michael King's story shatters that mold, revealing a world where entrepreneurial spirit and divine calling blend seamlessly. Venturing into the transformative narrative of a man who traded his pastoral robes for the thrills and challenges of entrepreneurship, we uncover the essence of true service.
