Stewardship, Generosity, and the Finish Line: 40 Years of Faithful Business with Alan Barnhart What does it look like to build a company worth hundreds of millions of dollars—and then give it away? Join host Justin Forman as he sits down with Alan Barnhart, co-founder of Barnhart Crane & Rigging, for a conversation 40 years in the making.
