Faith and Work: Insights from Jeremiah Williams
Entrepreneurship isn’t for the faint-hearted. It requires innovative thinking, self-awareness, continuous resilience and, above all else, faith. Jeremiah Williams, CEO of Oak Crafts by Jeremiah and a Modesto City Councilman, is the epitome of these traits. From his childhood days living in foster homes in the Bay Area to his turn as a family man and Valley-based entrepreneur, Jeremiah has opted to live by example for the many communities he calls his own.According to Jeremiah, community serves as the underlying structure upon which all successful ventures are grounded. Add to that strong familial support, an understanding of one’s strengths and limitations, and a drive to transform passions into reality, and you have a recipe for entrepreneurial prosperity. Regardless of your belief system, this discussion between Jeremiah and Dr. Pablo Paredes Romero is bound to make you a believer in the tenets of business that are shared.Co-produced by the Warrior Entrepreneurship and Innovation program and the Office of Communications and Public Affairs at Stanislaus State. The E&I Studio is edited and recorded in the KCSS studios on the campus of Stanislaus State.
