In this episode of the Unseen Leadership podcast, Chandler Vannoy and Josh Hunter are joined by Ken Costa who is a London-based, internationally renowned banker, author and speaker. He has been the chairman of some of the world’s largest investment banks, advisor to some of the most powerful people in the world, and is a committed Christian who believes Jesus is the hope of the world.
During their conversation, they discuss how to view your work, how to understand your calling, and slow down and listen to God.
QUOTES FROM EPISODE 35:
“I came to realize God was really interested in what I did throughout the week, not just what I did on Sundays.”
“You can’t govern the timing of God.”
“If you are trying to reach the top and don’t feel called by God to do it, you are going to burn out.”
“The great heritage of Christians is that we know our why.”
“With COVID-19, it is as if God has said to the world, stop. Reboot, rewire, and rethink.”
“You can’t just Google your why and your calling. It is a profound psychological process. We have to cut through the noise.”
“The door that God opens, no one can close. And the doors that God closes, no one can open.”
“For this generation, we live in a spectrum between broadband and burnout. And at the moment, we were on the verge of people veering toward burnout.”
