#30 Chris Deal - An Engineer of Opportunity, shares his drive in life & values | Unfiltered Podcast

Since the podcast began nearly 18 months ago, Chris Deal has been on the wish list for guests.  His list of accomplishments and accolades would require LOTS of time to tell, he's been places, and done things, including a year long education trip to Uganda, so I was ecstatic he joined us and let us take a peek into what motivates him to achieve and add to his family legacy.  

He's been a part of several high-level projects that may not have gotten off the ground without some of his engineering expertise, not to mention he's also part of the hugely successful and regionally known Deal's Orchard family that has built an amazing environment and experience.

But with someone who is a high achiever, I thoroughly enjoyed learning things about him like that he likes baseball. The Lord of the Rings. And he considers himself the "world's worst multi-tasker."  He's parenting three young kiddos, and he DOESN'T claim to have parenting figured out, but he's picked the qualities he wants to teach his kids, like how to work hard and problem solve, in order to give them the tools to be successful on their own accord one day.  

Chris is exceptionally talented but equally humble.  

Anyone would do well to listen and heed his words as he talks through;
-Success tactics, 
-Learning through failure and embracing it, 
-Not quitting but learning through problem solving,

AND 

the history of Deal's Orchard, dating back to Chris' great-grandfather who moved to Greene County and planted trees, and how the family persevered through the storms of 1940 that could've ended the orchard, but thankfully didn't! 

Tune in and comment on what sticks out to you!
