Family Legacy and Leadership: JP Engelbrecht on a Business That Lasts

Описание: What separates a good leader from a generational one?

In this episode, Hanna sits down with JP Engelbrecht, CEO of South Central Inc., to talk about what real leadership looks like, not the title, but the lifelong mission of building culture, developing people, and staying grounded in your faith and values.

JP doesn’t just lead a third-generation family business, he leads it.

From climbing towers as a teen to flying himself to board meetings, he’s spent his life learning every part of the business. But what drives him isn’t the flash, it’s the fit. JP shares why culture is his biggest investment, how he supports CEOs across industries, and why “business is an honorable calling” is more than just a phrase—it’s a leadership philosophy.

We get into:

• Why every success (or failure) comes back to leadership
• How to build teams that care and stay
• Quiet intensity vs. loud ambition: the leadership styles that work
• The real reason family businesses succeed (or don’t)
• How faith, values, and vision shape his leadership playbook
T
his one’s a must-listen for founders, operators, and anyone who believes leadership is about service, not ego.
