Cameron Smith was just a college student when he happened upon a job listing for a little-known pancake company called Kodiak Cakes. Today, the company is one of the leading pancake brands in the United States. But how did they get there? Recognized as the company\'s "secret weapon" who helped get Kodiak Cakes on the shelves of retailers like Target and Costco, Cameron shares how great outcomes have come from simply asking the right questions. And more importantly, he marvels at how through it all, the Lord has been able to make more out of his life than he ever could have dreamed of.

And then we decided, \\u2018Alright, let\\u2019s start working on this and let\\u2019s see what we can do with this.\\u2019 We broke a handful windows but then we were like, \\u2018You know what, maybe we can take on Goliath.\\u2019\\u201d \\u2014Cameron Smith
