Jeff grew up on a 100-acre farm in north central Ohio. His Papaw bought that farm with his life savings, and it was on this very farm that he learned most of the lessons that have guided him through his personal and professional journey.
His Papaw believed that problem solvers ruled the world and that with enough creativity, ingenuity and in our case, a little duct tape, that you could solve any problem and likely help anyone else solve theirs as well. Today, Jeff calls that the "Platinum rule". That you should treat others better than they expect to be treated.
In this episode, Brad and Jeff discuss Jeff's story and what it means to problem solve with critical thinking.
