"Being part of The Foundry has taught me that I can put God first in my business. It’s changed the way I track KPIs and lead my team. Instead of just focusing on profitability, I now prioritize the Triple Bottom Line: building God’s Kingdom, blessing our team members, patients, and vendors, and ensuring profitability to support the first two. As a result, we’ve built a reputation for five-star service and results, with patients flying in from across the U.S. to be treated by our team."

"The mentorship that I gained through the Foundry was invaluable. Being paired with a successful business owner that happened to have experience in my vertical was super helpful. He was generous with his time and helped me think through current issues and ideas to position the company for growth. In addition, I really enjoyed the opportunity to hear from other business leaders in each area relative to a business plan and understanding the importance of those components. Being able to present a 3 year plan at the end of my time with the Foundry was rewarding along with carrying a newfound vision for where we were headed. Additionally, I valued the conversations with other business owners seeking to live out their faith and also give back through their teams and businesses. Highly recommend!"

"Having a dedicated advisor made all the difference. He encouraged me, challenged me, and helped me build a 7-year financial plan that I still use today to project revenue, profits, staffing needs, and event goals. I could have never created something that insightful without him. That kind of mentorship is rare, and The Foundry provides it in abundance."
