About Bob Wright: Bob Wright is managing member of Wright Multifamily LLC with 25 employees stewarding 11 affordable or workforce apartment communities totaling 970 units in Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. Wright Multifamily converts integrity, knowledge, and service into value for our residents, our professional team, and our financial partners.

Bob began his real estate career in 1974 working for a real estate appraiser while enrolled at the American University in Washington, D.C. In the late 1970's he also acted as a consultant to tenant organizations that were attempting to purchase their apartment buildings for conversion to cooperative or condominium ownership. By 1981 he opened his own firm specializing in the appraisal of multifamily properties and earned the designation of MAI with the Appraisal Institute in 1982.

Expansion of the geographic reach of the practice coincided with a move back to the Philadelphia area in 1984 after 12 years in the Washington, D.C. area. Over 2500 multi-family appraisal assignments were performed until he retired in 2016 in order to devote more time to owning and managing a growing portfolio of multifamily properties.

How are you using your business as a vehicle for Kingdom impact?

In this episode, Jeff, Jeff, and Mike discuss:

• Successfully bridging the worlds between tech, business, and faith.
• Building the Kingdom and a burned-down mansion.
• Having a faith walk that includes God in your business.
• Returning to the true and important messages in the world of the wrong messages on social media.

Key Takeaways:

• Follow the favor. Where do you see success in your life? Serve God and His Kingdom there.
• The primary way that God designed impact in the world was not through organized religion but through business and entrepreneurship.
• The call to ministry does not need to be within the four walls of a church or in a non-profit organization.
• Our activities are the outward, visible proof of our faith in Jesus.

"If you can get to a place where you see the business as a vehicle for Kingdom impact, and then allow the business to be used for Kingdom impact, which means you're going to make less money because Jesus is going to make more, what actually happens is that's when you live your best life." — Mike Thakur
