How an out of balance executive found his path Jeff Turner shares his journey from programmer to CEO

Retired Spirit AeroSystems CEO, Jeff Turner, talks about how the boldness of a leadership team shaped the aircraft industry in Wichita, KS. We also discuss life balance, learning lessons the hard way, and our Top 3 aircraft.

This week, Matt Amos, Chet Sears and Troy Trussell are happy to welcome Jeff Turner in studio. Jeff is a man of God, a husband, a father, a grandfather, as well as the retired President/CEO of Spirit AeroSystems. Jeff and Chet got to know each other a few years ago in a men's Bible study that Jeff hosted. There is so much insight into business, perseverance, and balance in this episode.

A few take-aways from our conversation:
* Take better care of your customers than you take care of yourself, internal customers included.
* Be strategic on what you say "yes" to.
* The steps of a righteous man are ordered by the Lord.
