Summary
What started with a $600 loan has grown into a family business with over 1,000 stores, 50,000 employees, and nearly $8 billion in revenue each year. But the real story is not just about profit, it is about purpose. David Green, founder of Hobby Lobby, and Bill High reveal how giving away half of their profits became a family legacy that now spans generations, with children and grandchildren carrying the vision forward. This is more than business success, it is about creating a family culture rooted in faith, generosity, and eternal impact, and you can begin writing your own family's legacy starting now.
