Becoming Our Best for Those We Love Most: Insights with Chief Growth Officer Brad Fink

·57 min·3 clips

Brad ties an Ironman sign-up to his father’s stroke: “Your dad can't walk and you're scared of a few extra miles.”

Cameron Giddings opens the conversation by welcoming Brad Fink, Christian Brothers Automotive's Chief Growth Officer, and naming the episode's focus plainly. The main question is how a person becomes their best self for the people who matter most. Brad answers with calm conviction. He says growth is not measured by how fast someone reaches a goal. It shows up in the way a person moves through the journey. He keeps coming back to perseverance. That perseverance, he says, is not something people are simply born with. It gets formed in the middle of challenge. It gets formed when a person keeps going even when the feeling is not there. He makes the point that each hard thing taken on makes the next one easier to face. Cameron picks up that idea and connects it to fatherhood and leading by example. The conversation keeps circling back to responsibility, the kind that quietly raises the standard for a home, a team, and a life. Cameron speaks openly about learning to question his own capabilities while still choosing to try. Brad responds by naming a mantra that has shaped him: will is greater than skill. He explains that he has not spent most of his life as the best at what he did. Instead, he has learned to stay with the work and keep contributing to the team. That perspective makes the episode feel less like a polished leadership lecture and more like a lived reflection on effort, discipline, and humility. The closing movement returns to the people we love and the example we leave for them. The whole conversation lands on a simple conviction: becoming better is a matter of steady growth, not a race to an endpoint.
