Mike Hayes and Jeffrey Garner: How a Servant’s Heart Builds Business That Matters

“My death might just be the greatest gift I give to the next generation.”
What if your business wasn’t just about revenue, but about something far deeper? In this episode, host Steve Ramona invites you into a space where purpose meets profit, where business isn’t just a transaction but a transformation.
We meet two extraordinary guests, Jeff Garner and Mike Hayes (you met them together today). Jeff brings the story of a life shaped by faith, service, and a vision for legacy. Mike carries the influence of a father’s ministry among tribal communities, and a commitment to serve that became his business and leadership mantra. Their memorable moment? Sitting down together with Steve, sharing candid reflections on leadership, purpose, and the intersection of business and faith. You’ll hear sensory detail in their voices, the laughter and revelation, the shift in perspective.
From that moment, you’ll be invited to lean in and ask: How will I serve myself and others today? Because even the smallest act of kindness or courage can change the game. By the end, you’ll walk away with tangible tools for action—whether you’re growing a startup, leading a team, or simply showing up in your relationships.
P.S. If you feel called to serve differently, take a moment after listening and ask: Who can I help today? A message, a coffee, a referral—let your servant’s heart lead the way.
