In the latest episode of the Biblical Leadership @ Work podcast, host Jason Woodard welcomes Dave Hataj, a remarkable leader and believer who shares his awe-inspiring life story and transformative leadership principles. Dave, who holds a unique combination of a journeyman’s card and a business degree, speaks candidly about his journey from a gear shop in Edgerton, Wisconsin, to becoming a leader driven by faith and purpose. From the outset, Dave’s story is compelling. He recalls his early days working in his family’s gear shop and the struggles with alcoholism and a toxic environment but finding God in an unexpected moment while running near his home. This experience laid the foundation for his lifelong journey of faith and leadership, leading him to significant roles, including a youth minister and later, back to the family business. Dave’s narrative is packed with wisdom and practical advice on leadership. He stresses the importance of humility, vulnerability, and self-reflection.
