Today, I speak with Lee Arnold, someone I’ve known for about a decade. He is someone I hold in high regard and respect him for his ability to have built his business based on biblical principles. 

We discuss how his personal history led him to his current career, as well as how his faith guides him in business. We also talk about his experience with code enforcement and abatements. 

Tune in to hear Lee’s story and what he does at Cogo Capital.
