Welcome to another episode of The Workmatters Podcast! Today, hosts Brandon Swoboda and Darrel Harvey are joined by a truly inspiring guest: Henry Ho, the co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer of Storesight, which combines field-scale and artificial intelligence to deliver always-on visibility, real-time insights, and fast retail action for top consumer brands. Known for his innovative spirit, deep faith, and yes, his signature thumbs-up in every photo, Henry brings a wealth of wisdom from decades spent bridging business, purpose, and people across the globe.

In this conversation, Henry unpacks the idea of "redemptive entrepreneurship": doing business with God’s heart by building redemptive elements into your company from the very start. Drawing on his experiences in the corporate world, international ventures in Hong Kong and India, and even some humbling failures along the way, Henry offers real-world insight into what separates exploitive, ethical, and truly redemptive business practices.

You’ll hear stories of sacrifice, resilience, and the importance of finding what’s broken in the world—and daring to be a part of its redemption. Whether you’re an aspiring entrepreneur or "just a business person” finding your place at the intersection of faith and work, Henry’s practical advice and contagious enthusiasm will give you both courage and a fresh perspective.

So grab your coffee and get ready for a conversation that dives deep into the why and how of integrating faith, sacrifice, and innovation at work.
