Welcome back to The Main Thing Podcast! This is a special episode. It’s the next in our mini-series “Wisdom Revisited,” where we are reconnecting with a few of our most popular guests from Seasons 1 & 2. As we revisit those guests and their ‘main thing’ wisdom, what will we find? Has it remained a primary driving force in their life? Or has something new taken that place of prominence in their heart and mind?
Three years ago, Jeff Jarrell appeared as our wise guest on Episode 19. In this special 25-minute episode, we have the pleasure to revisit Jeff and his main-thing wisdom from 2020.
Jeff Jarrell is a financial advisor and small business owner. He has written his first book, which will be published in late May 2023. Jeff is a passionate about serving others, especially through his volunteer efforts in the autism community, as well as other community service. Jeff’s hobbies include cycling, golf, travel and exploring coffee shops. And he’s one of the wisest people I know. Jeff joins us from his home in Columbus, Ohio.
Listen and discover how Jeff Jarrell has applied - and perhaps evolved - his Main Thing wisdom.
