In today's episode, Benson Agbortogo and I talk about when he got the call to leadership and what answering that call has done for his life, along with having a few laughs about what it takes these days to build a successful business. Benson is the creator of the Consistent Profit Tree System which helps business owners and entrepreneurs in the construction and service industry generate more profit while working fewer hours. While living in his native African homeland, at age 13, Benson Agbortogo discovered the immense love of a wealthy God and embarked on a quest to eradicate poverty. Benson became a missionary pastor with the purpose of helping people dedicate their lives to God but noticed most people still struggled economically and lived in financial poverty. The Lord urged Benson to seek to understand the timeless, proven, economic principles of creating wealth to help others experience financial abundance. He moved to the USA where he has earned both a B.S. in Business Management and an MBA. Since the

Today's guest, Paul Huszar, talks about why veterans are exceptional leaders in civilian life, with several stories that showcase this reality.   "If you value respect, showing up on time, and getting the job done right, you'll be hard-pressed to find anyone better than a veteran," he says.   This is one of the many reasons Paul founded his company, VetCor. He is the CEO of VetCor and Team VetCor, and a retired Army officer. Paul graduated from West Point and then served 23 years on active duty, including four combat tours in Iraq. He commanded a 1,000 Soldier and Airman Joint Task Force in 09-10 and last served as the Dean of the Army’s Engineer School. He retired and moved to Tampa in 2013 when he started VetCor and started franchising the concept in 2019. His passion is creating sustainable and meaningful employment opportunities, and now business ownership opportunities, for our Nation’s Heroes.   = = = = = The Team here at PYP has put together another uplifting, insightful, and inspiring show for you tod
