Priesthood to Business Owner

From pouring concrete to pouring into people's lives, Jeff Armstrong's journey from seminary to small business success is nothing short of inspiring. In this heartfelt conversation, Jeff—brother to Smart Freight Funding CEO Rachel Biesterfeld—opens up about his path from construction work to a Catholic seminary and back again. After discerning a calling and spending time in religious formation, Jeff ultimately felt led to pursue a different vocation: marriage and entrepreneurship. Today, he runs a thriving concrete business, built on hard work, faith, and treating his employees with the respect they deserve.

Whether you're a trucking company navigating seasonal challenges or a business owner striving to build a strong team, Jeff's insights hit home. He shares powerful reflections on leadership, loyalty, and keeping your faith at the center of your work. This is more than a business podcast—it's a look into how resilience, values, and calling can shape not just a career, but a life.
