Today’s guest, Jerry Howard, went on a long journey to find his true calling.
He dropped out of undergraduate classes, worked in a call center, enlisted in the marines after 9/11, went back to business school, obtained a MBA with a specialization in marketing, left the marines, sold health insurance, was a stay-at-home dad, participated in a corporate leadership training program… and that’s not even everything!
Now Jerry serves as the executive director and healthcare administrator for ortho, neuro and cardiac rehab centers.
Jerry’s diverse experiences helped him focus on and reorder his top three priorities:
- Faith
- Family
- Finance
“Faith, Family and Finances allows me to keep the external world secondary to my family and then my Family secondary to Faith. If you don’t have principles to live by then, when push comes to shove, even within your Family you can be swayed by the moment.”
Prioritizing Faith, Family, and Finance helps Jerry keep love as his main motivator.
Jerry was motivated by love to write a book for stay-at-home dads titled So You’re a Stay at Home Dad, Now What?: Fatherhood Isn’t What It Used to Be.
In the book, Jerry attempts to help other stay-at-home dads better fill their roles and find their true calling. You can preorder the book on Amazon now.
“If you don’t use your talents and the things that you’re good at to make a contribution to the world, then your time here on Earth is wasted.”
