About this listen
What does it take to lead with purpose after life throws its biggest curveballs?
In this episode of Heliona Insight, we sit down with James Estes, a military veteran and former corporate leader who once managed a team of 750 at Verizon. Now the owner of a successful franchise with The Brothers That Just Do Gutters, James opens up about his journey—from military service to surviving a heart attack and PTSD, and becoming a foster parent to over 25 kids.
We explore the lessons he's learned about leadership, resilience, and rebuilding your identity after life-altering experiences. If you’ve ever questioned whether it’s too late to start over or too hard to lead with empathy, this conversation will inspire you to keep going.
This is more than a story about business. It’s about heart, grit, and the power of reinvention.
