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 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 the

Christian who's pursuing world-class mastery of their vocation. We talk about their path to

mastery, their daily habits and routines, and how their faith influences their work.

Today's guest is an extraordinary leader and CEO. His name is Scott Stevenson. He's the

CEO of publicly traded Varisk Analytics. An incredible innovator, Forbes magazine

has recognized Scott as get this one of the 25

most innovative leaders on Earth that's a crazy crazy claim to fame Scott and I recently sat down and we talked about how exactly to cultivate

Innovative ideas within what Scott sees as the three buckets of innovation, which I think you'll find very helpful.

We talked about how Christians can be both ambitious and humane in business, and we talked about the story that convinced Scott to say the name of Jesus whenever possible even when leading a public company with 10,000 employees.

I think you guys are going to love this conversation
