John’s work is grounded in something every leader needs to understand: 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹.

It takes more than networking. It takes the ability to build meaningful relationships, create trust, recognize opportunities, and develop a disciplined process for turning connections into business.

And John will not simply be talking about it.

He will bring a practical business development process into the room that challenges leaders to think differently about 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀, 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵.

That is what partnership looks like to me.

Dinkel Business Development is not simply supporting the Summit. John is helping us deliver the work.

I am grateful to have John and Dinkel Business Development as partners in creating an experience designed to leave leaders with more than ideas. 𝗪𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀, 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘂𝘀𝗲.

🌟 SPEAKER + SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT: DAVID HODNETT & JACOB WILLIAM ADVISORY 🌟

You cannot have a serious conversation about leadership without talking about money.

How leaders think about money, make financial decisions, steward resources, assess risk, and plan for the future is leadership.

That is why I am excited to welcome David Hodnett of Jacob William Advisory to Lead Like Your Legacy Depends On It®: Baltimore Edition 2026, Built to Last.

David brings an important perspective to our conversation about what it takes to build for the long term. Because whether you are leading a business, nonprofit, team, or institution, financial leadership is leadership.

The decisions we make about money reveal priorities. They shape possibilities. And they have consequences that can extend well beyond our own tenure.

David will help us go there.

I am also grateful that Jacob William Advisory is supporting this year's summit as a sponsor. Their investment in this convening reflects a commitment to developing leaders who are thinking not only about today, but about what they are building for tomorrow.

When I started this application process, I honestly did not even remember that moment.

Sometimes you don't recognize the significance of a moment until God brings you back around to see it from a completely different place.

I incorporated 𝗨𝗻𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗱𝗼𝘅 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗶𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟭𝟵 because I believed deeply in this work. For years, I built it alongside a career spent leading, transforming, and pouring into other organizations. The passion and vision were always there.
