Ep 2068: Kingdom Legacies that Last

In this episode, we talk with Andy Galpin, a mission-driven entrepreneur focused on preserving Kingdom culture in businesses. Jim opens with a story of a business owner who prioritized profit over culture when selling his company—leading to a quick erosion of his values-driven workplace. While the interview focuses on Andy’s current work, you’ll also get a quick look at Andy’s background and what steered him toward his present business ventures.  

Through his company, Tree and Leaf Partners, Andy now looks for thriving businesses to acquire, ensuring their cultures endure even when owners step out of the picture. Inspired by his experiences at IBM, Andy believes that leaders set the cultural tone, making it critical to have mission-aligned leadership at the top. He follows the “Redemptive Business Framework,” emphasizing a model beyond profit, where businesses actively contribute to the common good and Kingdom advancement. 

Andy dreams of an ecosystem where Kingdom-led companies mentor young Christians, shaping a new generation of values-based leaders. His appeal is clear: business owners, don’t let the highest bid compromise your mission—let’s build legacies that last!
