In this episode, Steve shares a personal story from 1987 about missing a job interview because of a simple misunderstanding and timing issue. It would have been easy for the company to move on and write him off—but instead, someone chose grace and offered another opportunity.

That second chance changed everything.

It led to a career, a move to St. Louis, and eventually the opportunity to build a successful business and impact the lives of others along the way.

It’s a reminder that we rarely know the full story behind someone’s mistake or missed moment. Before we rush to judgment, we should look for understanding. The grace we extend to others can have a far greater impact than we realize.
