Run Into the Storm: Two Men and a Truck’s Brig Sorber on Faith and Loss
Eleven Talents | Legatus Podcast
Six months before this conversation, Brig Sorber’s wife of 40 years, Fran, died by suicide. In the grief that followed, Brig made a decision: he would not run away from the storm. Brig compares it to the difference between a buffalo and a cow. The cow runs away from the storm, while the buffalo moves directly into it. For Brig, “being the buffalo” means trusting Christ and allowing the Holy Spirit to carry him through pain he cannot carry alone. Brig also shares how he helped grow Two Men and a Truck from a $200 pickup into a major franchise with more than 3,200 trucks. He explains why business success ultimately left him feeling empty, how he surrendered the company to Christ and how his faith shaped the way he led through growth, recession and the eventual sale of the business. Brig joins Legatus President Stephen Henley for an honest conversation about faith, family, leadership, grief and choosing to run into life’s storms instead of away from them.
