#23 - Parker Perrien - From bang to bust and back again: how faith rebuilt my business.
We doubled year over year for five straight years… and still managed to be bankrupt on paper! ## Guest Bio Parker Perrien is an entrepreneur who took over his family’s asphalt business at the age of 23, rapidly growing the company while navigating significant personal and financial adversity. After nearly losing the company to bankruptcy, Parker rebuilt the business with the help of a mentor, transforming it into a national pavement management firm with a heavy focus on technology and a "God First" company culture. He is passionate about integrating faith and business, encouraging others to make their beliefs part of their daily work and relationships. ## Social Links and Resources - Diamond Solutions (asphalt and concrete work): thediamondsolutions.com - God First apparel and resources: godfirst365.com - Listen to the God First Podcast: Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube - Books Mentioned: - EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) - John Maxwell Leadership Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/fxrL7UzV4SQ Everything at christianambitionpod.com Share with a friend & follow!
