11/6/2024
In today’s episode of Exploring the Marketplace, Shawn Bolz and Bob Hasson sit down with Krystal Parker, a former Fortune 200 executive with over 25 years of leadership experience. From college dropout to running 47 gas companies by age 34, Krystal's journey is one of high achievement and profound transformation.

She shares how God’s provision and faithfulness never wavered, even when their journey seemed uncertain.
