Episode 10 Featuring Gabriel Lightner
From the second the interview starts; you hear Gabe calling Hoots out for his handwriting ability. It’s a constant battle between these two and it starts here…In this episode, Hoots on The Ground talks with Gabriel Lightner who has military, self-performed and large-scale general contracting experience. Gabe drops words of wisdom from all around! Including the first time Gabe caught Hoots in a foot in mouth moment!
Gabe Lightner EnLightners us in many a different way throughout this podcast. Speaking from the education and learnings of Pop from Chester, SC.
Gabe sheds light on his spiritual ways and his favorite bible verse: Matthew 5:16: Let your light shine before men, that. they may see your good works, and. glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Gabe is able to breakdown relationships and relate them to how we build things. Let’s challenge the Lean Builder Nation to bring Pop back to the show and drop some wisdom to the group!! Gabe drops knowledge on marriage and how to drive to a better relationship.
Know who you are, and know who they are and you live a whole lot better!
Hoots and Lightner break down the concept of leadership and self-deception. How to understand the unconsciousness biases that exist internal. Hoots and Gabe also stumble into what is servant leadership because that is what lean builders do!
