Steve Preston is the CEO of Goodwill Industries. Though Goodwill is known for big stores where people can donate clothes and buy them secondhand, those stores are just the first level of what Goodwill Industries are about. Those stores fund an international organization that provides job training, employment placement services and other community-based programs for people who face barriers in their employment. Steve joins Jay to discuss the ways Goodwill Industries support veterans and individuals who lack job experience, an education, or face employment challenges, such as those people who are formerly incarcerated.

In this episode, I sit down with Brady Nash—one of the wisest and most strategic business minds I’ve ever met. Brady’s entrepreneurial journey is nothing short of remarkable. He started his company with credit card debt, selling plasma on weekends to keep things afloat. Fast forward to today, he’s led a successful exit with a private equity acquisition for a very large (and undisclosed) sum. As the former Co-Founder and CEO of BNG Holdings, Brady’s company moved billions of dollars annually, building one of the largest payment processing companies in North America. BNG was also the parent company of ConnectBooster, a payments automation platform for the IT channel, which was acquired by Kaseya’s private equity group. But what sets Brady apart isn’t just his business acumen—it’s his character. He’s a man of strong faith, integrity, and discipline, living a clean life without ever touching alcohol or drugs. He’s proof that values and success can go hand in hand. In this conversation, we get real about: Why service businesses need funding to grow How to navigate lending, finance, and managing people The brutal challenges of scaling a SaaS company Today, Brady lives life on his terms—spending time with family and investing in ventures he believes in, like Donor Dock and other software startups. This is a must-listen if you’re a founder, operator, or just someone chasing real growth—with integrity.
