"We put our egos in this temporary basket"

This week on Delay The Decay, we welcome Jack Kim, founder and CEO of Denver-based KORE Investments, about integrating faith with leadership in commercial real estate. Jack shares his daily discipline of surrendering control through prayer, his view of entrepreneurship as stewardship under God’s ownership, and how trials cultivate dependence on the “vine” rather than self-sufficiency.

We discuss pursuing excellence without grounding identity in achievement, serving others through a culture of hospitality, and treating every person—tenants, employees, vendors, and building staff—as equally valuable. Jack explains KORE’s corporate tithing model as a way to “convert” temporary wealth into lasting kingdom impact, and addresses purpose in work as a primary source of meaning.
