I ended up adding one more meeting with my dad to talk about how this semester was going and to get the last little bit of insight on how he runs the business. I told my dad how excited I was for the summer and to be home. I had finally locked down a summer job with a company back home and was excited to have a job for the summer. Unfortunately the job is a second shift position so I won't be able to see my dad much besides on the weekends because of conflicting schedules. I was pretty bummed that it had to work out like that but my dad encouraged me to take the job because of the experience I would be receiving and because the pay was exceptional. My dad and I also talked about the upcoming draft for the NFL and we talked through what players we hoped our team would pick up and where our favorite college players would land.
I asked my dad a couple more questions about his job and what he sees day to day. I thought an interesting question would be what kind of style he tries to run his company with, if there was a certain management style he thought he possessed that was different from others. He told me that he tries to be humble and that his employees know he tries to live for God but he won't force it upon his employees but that he is always willing to talk to them about religion however. I thought this was super important as you want your employees to know your intentions but you don't want to force it upon them.
This experience has been great for me to grow as a person and to better communicate with my dad.
