Josh Galen, a manager at Darrell Waltrip Honda, had a tree in his yard growing a little off-center. It wasn’t enough to cause any immediate issues or even be an eyesore, but Josh knew that if it wasn’t addressed immediately with a little guidance and direction then that tree would one day grow crooked and the damage would be irreversible.

That experience made for a wonderful analogy for Josh on the importance of serving as a spiritual mentor for the next generation. It was a great example of the same kind of guidance and leadership that Josh’s own father, also in auto sales, showed him growing up. For Josh’s father, you showed your faith through your actions and knew that authenticity trumped charisma any day.

Josh’s stories and wisdom shared in this special video are priceless and something every father, mentor, and leader will want to take to heart.

It’s easy to think a crooked tree isn’t a problem to be solved today, but the investment today will pay off for a lifetime.
