Purpose-Driven Success: Insights from Drew Scholl’s Life Story

” You’re faithful in training and you run the race that’s marked out for you. That doesn’t mean it’s always perfect, and it doesn’t mean that the outcomes are what you want, but it’s about the journey.”
Welcome to another episode of Delay the Decay! Today, I am joined by Drew Scholl, the founder and CEO of Leaders on Fire. Drew shares his extensive background in leadership and business, his experience as an Ironman triathlete, and how biblical principles guide his life and work. We delve deep into Drew’s morning routines, the importance of spiritual and physical discipline, and his commitment to purposeful leadership. Drew talks openly about his journey—from becoming the CEO of a successful family business to answering a divine call to serve as a missionary in Papua New Guinea, describing the cyclical nature of prioritizing life, the tension between personal desires and kingdom work, and the profound impact of integrating faith into the marketplace.
Drew also shares the concept of ‘buying to share’ inspired by his father-in-law, which promotes stewardship and community over personal gain; and emphasizes the significance of finding a mentor or coach and maintaining daily disciplines to foster character and spiritual growth. He encourages listeners to let go of the fear of failure and to trust in God’s plan for their lives. The episode is packed with practical wisdom and inspirational anecdotes, making it a must-watch for ambitious leaders looking to balance success with spiritual fulfillment.
