TribeCast

On today's episode I welcome you back and update you on the progress and changes I've made in my life since we wrapped up Season 2. 

2020 has affected us all in ways we never could have imagined. Many of us have had to dig deep, grow, struggle and push through and adapt in an ever changing climate.  We'll look back on Season 2 and regain insights on key take aways from last season that can help you now more than ever. 

We'll seek to answer how Kingdom minded, on purpose Entrepreneurs who are committed to building big things with their lives through business can do so in a way where we don't lose our body, our balance, those closest relationships that mean the most to us and our being, our connection and daily walk with Christ.

Welcome to TribeCast - Let's Go!

Zane is the go to man in Birmingham for tech deals having completed over 90 deals to date. He is passionate about growing the technology side of Founders while also being heavily involved in marriages that are in crisis. He has been married for 31 years and has three daughters. 

Named one of the 50 most powerful and influential people in Alabama, Caleb is no stranger to success. Yet, he lives by the mindset that he is not responsible for the outcome only to be faithful in all that has been entrusted to him. Join us for this engaging and thoughtful conversation.

Chuck Andrews is one of the top performers in the nation for Northwestern Mutual, a long time friend and accountability partner, married for 18 years, father of 5, original garage member of Iron Tribe and all around solid man of faith. Chuck epitomizes everything this show is about!

Chuck was Born and raised in Germantown, TN as the oldest of 8 children. He came to Birmingham in 1994 to attend Samford University, where he graduated in 1998 with a degree in business management with a focus on finance. He felt God calling him to stay in Birmingham and accept a full-time position with Northwestern Mutual. This is where he met wife Lydia and got married in 2002. They now have 5 children: Brooks, Claire, Radford, Caroline, Abigail, and an English Cream retriever, Samson.

His three core personal values are Faith, Family, and Fun. His relationship with the Lord and Savior is his number one priority with family a close second.

While not at the office, most of his time is spent with family, and/or hunting, fishing, or working out at IronTribe. He is a member and deacon at Shades Mountain Community Church, where he serves on two committees.

Michael is a passionate believer in servant leadership. His super objective is that people should be better off as a result of having spent time with you – every meeting, every event, every day. He’s a proponent of frequent feedback and that leader and communication excellence continues beyond “Act 1” (work) into “Act 2” (home life). There should be seamless transition between professional and business, group and individual communication. Authenticity and believability is paramount. The same skills an actor uses for outstanding performance are needed to be a top of the game leader and a communicator. All of these choices must be made with intentionality.

Chris has a passion to create a remarkable company culture—on that cares for each other and our clients, attracts and develops great leaders, and celebrates people like no other. He and his wife Lyndie live in Atlanta, GA, with their four children.  Chris is also a founding member of Iron Tribe John’s Creek going faithfully to the 5 am class for the last 6 years!
