What happens when business stops being just about profit and starts becoming a place of purpose? In this rich and honest conversation, Steve Ramona sits down with Gary Harpst to explore what it really means to lead with faith, serve with intention, and build a life that reflects something deeper than success alone. Gary brings both conviction and humility to the table as he shares how LeadFirst was born from a desire to equip leaders to help people find and fulfill their God-given purpose. This is not a conversation about pressure or performance. It is a conversation about stewardship, soul care, truth, love, and the kind of leadership that sees people as human beings first.
Gary opens the door to a powerful idea that many leaders quietly wrestle with. Can faith and business truly belong in the same room? His answer is both bold and grounded. He explains how healthy businesses create trust, how caring for the whole person matters now more than ever, and why leaders do not need to force faith to live it authentically. From Hobby Lobby’s remarkable story of purpose-driven stewardship to the deeply personal lessons learned through business mistakes, Gary shows that leadership is not about pretending to have all the answers. It is about being willing to listen, grow, let go, and walk in truth even when it feels costly.

Gary Harpst is a faith-driven entrepreneur, engineer, author, and leadership guide who has spent decades helping leaders align their work with deeper purpose.
