Episode 291 | Jason Hurt: From Climbing the Ladder to Living with Purpose

Sep 23, 2025 | Conversations with Trailblazers

📈 Part of our Christian Businessmen Series

In this episode of The Way We See It, Alex has a rich and thought-provoking conversation with Jason Hurt, Founder and Principal Consultant at Hurt Consulting, an organization dedicated to guiding faith-based nonprofits and mission-driven organizations toward sustainable impact. Jason shares his bold journey of leaving corporate America—stepping away from power, performance, and a comfortable paycheck—to follow God’s call into the nonprofit world. After briefly owning a business, he quickly realized that his deeper purpose wasn’t in profit margins but in people and mission. Now, he helps leaders align vision with impact and navigate real transformation. Jason shares some of the key lessons he’s learned along the way: Never trade influence for impact. Surround yourself with people who aren’t impressed by you. And regularly audit your calendar to make sure your time reflects your values. With the release of his new book, Climbing Down the Ladder, Jason is a voice for men looking to exchange hustle for calling, and success for significance.
