The episode you're about to listen to was released back when the mere Christians podcast was called the call to mastery

Now if you love mere Christians, you're still going to love these older episodes because the majority of each

conversation focuses on how the gospel influences the work of our guests. With that disclaimer out of the way, please enjoy the episode. Hey everybody welcome to the call to mastery. I'm Jordan Rayner. This is a

podcast for Christians who want to do their most exceptional work for the glory of

God and the good of others.

Each week I host a conversation with a Christian who's pursuing world-class mastery of their craft.

We talk about their path to mastery, their daily habits and routines and how their faith influences their work.

Guys, today's episode is easily one of my favorites we've ever done.

We're talking to my new friend Chris Carnile.

He's the founder and CEO of Booster Enterprises,

better known by their brand, Boostertaw thought these fitness fundraisers that they put on at

elementary schools all throughout the United States since founding the company

18 years ago Chris has turned booster into a behemoth. They've helped schools raise

more than 350 million dollars and they've served more than 7 million students.

Chris has been recognized as a 40 under 40 entrepreneur by the

Atlanta Business Chronicle. He's an exceptional founder and recently we sat down

we talked about what he's learned and going from a thousand full-time

employees down to 140 due to the pandemic only to rebuild very quickly to almost 400 employees today. We talked about how

booster makes the kingdom win some to their employees to their customers at

public schools private private schools, wherever.

And we talked about why Chris doesn't go into the office until late morning and the genius

of this and the impact that it has on his team's ability to get deep work done.
