Trust versus faith – it’s a distinction that Ray Hatch, Chief Executive Officer, President, and Director of Quest Resource Holding Corporation, explores with a refreshing candor in this conversation with Deborah Fell. Drawing from his unique journey from food distribution to waste management and lessons learned as a basketball coach’s son, Ray shares how he transformed a struggling public company by cutting revenue in half while growing profits – a move that required more than just trust from his team and board; it demanded faith. Ray and Deborah tackle the formidable challenge of building a team that can scale a company from $300 million to potentially billions. It’s not just about hiring smart people – it’s about finding those who can see “the art of the possible” and aren’t afraid to think beyond current limitations.

Fr. Anthony talks about the hard stuff in being spiritual and religious. He told his parishioners about recent encounters with teens who say they are spiritual but not religious.

We are to be challenged to be better and to make the world better.
We hope you enjoy these and the rest of this week’s playlist.
