In this episode of Marketplace Calling, hosts Landon Williams and Bob Willumsen talk with Greg Spillyards, CEO of Cushman & Wakefield | Commercial Advisors, about his unusual journey from commercial real estate to seminary and back into the marketplace. Greg shares how God shaped his vision for transformative real estate, his work in underserved Memphis neighborhoods, and the practical ways his faith informs daily leadership.

Greg discusses discerning God’s call, the discipline of daily prayer and scripture, mentoring others, servant leadership, and navigating difficult personnel decisions with care. He offers encouragement for business leaders curious about faith—start with prayer, find a person of peace, and stay open to God’s guidance.

Hosts Landon Williams and Bob Willumsen interview Ian Withrow, Memphis branch manager at Barnhart Crane & Rigging, about bringing faith into daily work: weekly Monday prayer, onsite ministry, and a company model that gives half its profits to global missions.

The episode shows how spiritual practices and business excellence can coexist—driving growth, attracting talent, and preparing the team for changed lives, baptisms, and deeper discipleship in the workplace.

Hosts Landon Williams and Bob Willumsen discuss how Christian faith intersects with business leadership, focusing on the reasons behind our goals and the identities we chase.

Using Scripture (John 16, Philippians 3), personal stories, and practical metaphors, they contrast worldly success—wealth and recognition—with the 'complete joy' found in Christ and ask business leaders: what ladder are you climbing?
