About this episode
Everyone wants to have someone they look up to, someone who inspires them to become the best versions of themselves despite difficult circumstances.
Jeff Bush is one of those people you can look up to.
Jeff is a highly motivated, goal-oriented Operations Executive with an established history of exceeding goals in many areas.
Despite growing up with his odds stacked against him, he was able to learn how to treat every moment like an opportunity which led him to become the current President of Parker's. What he lacked in resources, he gained in work ethic which is a value his father ingrained in him in his early years.
Jeff was gracious enough to discuss with us his tough upbringing and the opportunities he had that led him to secure a job at Parker's — even though he wasn't looking for one.
