In Part 1 of our chat, founder and CEO Scott Sidler of Austin Historical, Inc. shared how he has woven integrity and respect into everything in his business. We discussed the challenges that arise when another contractor breaks a client’s trust, how he shifted his business through the pandemic, and much more.
In Part 2 of this 3-episode discussion from my larger Believers In Business series, I continue chatting with Scott. He relates a time when his integrity and environment of trust were challenged. He’d been considering purchasing what appeared to be a thriving business, but carefully looking at the business’s books told a different story. Maintaining integrity and following the teachings of the Bible helped him avoid what was sure to be a disaster. We then go on to expand our discussion about disaster avoidance by tackling the subject of temptation. Finally, we wrap up Part 2 by sharing about what it looks like in business to do everything as unto the Lord, and the positive impact of always showing respect.
