Long before Jeremy Harrison became the founder of OneTable Strategy and author of Be the Wayfinder, he was a kid learning about risk, responsibility, and decision-making on his family's Ohio farm. He would go on to start a business in a spare bedroom, build a team, and discover that being a leader sometimes means letting go of control.

Jeremy and I have known each other for years through church, music, and family friendships. In this conversation, we talk about entrepreneurship, the tension between work and identity, finding a calling in everyday work, and how AI is changing what we ask of human leaders.

We also discuss the story behind his upcoming book and how the loss of his son profoundly changed his perspective on leadership, legacy, and what matters most. Jeremy shares the role his team played during that difficult season and the meaning he hopes readers find in his work.

It's a conversation about navigating change without losing the human side of work—and remembering that your title isn't your identity.
