Gentle Art Of Leadership Podcast – Kevin Vorhees

Introduction

Kevin Voorhees is a Jesus follower, husband, father, Northern Colorado business leader, M&E Painting team member, Realtor with Keller Williams, and an overall amazing man who is extremely dialed in on his purpose and values. Kevin and I met in 2008 when he began his career with M&E Painting. As we have journeyed together through the years, Kevin and I have both learned so many things about leadership, personal development, and how to write a book and live a story surrounding purpose, values and leaving a positive legacy. Join Kevin and me as we discuss our journeys of faith, leadership, manhood and purpose, including some of our biggest lessons learned and insights for those looking to grow.
