Tom Hsieh might be one of the most humble servant leaders you will ever meet. He helped grow Earthlink into a billion-dollar company, but chose a radically different path, capping his income at the national median and investing the rest into revitalizing communities like Pomona in California.Today, he’s leading an airline company, supporting nonprofits, and still living with the same open-handed posture that marked his earliest days of faith. This episode is packed with wisdom on business, calling, humility, and how to lead with deep conviction, whether in tech, politics, or aviation. For anyone pursuing servant leadership with open hands and a humble heart, this one’s for you.Timestamps:00:00 Tom Hsieh's Intro00:46 Welcome Tom Hsieh01:01 Tom's Business and Faith Journey03:13 Introduction To Urban Communities04:16 Earthlink Business Career - Early Days08:00 Drastic Decisions About Personal Finances11:20 Dealing With Early Leadership Challenges13:10 Involvement in Pomona California15:32 A 50-Year Plan For Pomona17:51 Learning Humility26:45 Political Involvement29:16 Fuller Seminary Moving To Pomona31:48 What's Next?
