What You'll Hear:
Larry was raised Catholic, but at
age 13 was invited to a Protestant youth retreat where someone
showed him the Gospel going through the Bible and Larry was
saved
Larry and his wife had their
first child Linley, who as an infant had an incident while in
doctoral care that resulted in her having challenges throughout her
life. Larry became very angry at God but then read John 9
where Jesus says that the blind man was blind so the God's glory
could be shown. Larry realized God had a different plan than
he did. Larry realized he was not in control and that he had
been too self reliant and self-centered.
Larry's
first job was working for his Dad's construction company
Larry
went to school for Engineering and then went to Law School and
worked for Baker Hughes where he was mentored by Jim Woods

In Matt
25:20-28, Jesus described servant leadership as opposed to the
typical top-down leadership model
Larry
has identified 5 key characteristics of servant leadership, using
the acronym CLEAN
If
you're not living life the way God intended you to do, you're
wasting your life and your time
These
principles apply to every relationship
C =
Commitment
L=
Listening (key to Larry being the first boss on the Undercover Boss
Reality TV Show)
E =
Empathy - it's the magic that changes everything, this is the
opposite of the self-centered social media we live in today
A =
Accountability
N =
Notice (noticing others and noticing ourselves)
Larry
always viewed business as the largest untapped ministry opportunity
anywhere
