Episode 73: Get out of the bathtub, with Tom Olson

Dec 12, 2018

Tom Olson is the Founder and President of Olson Group Network, Olson Property Services, Olson Construction Management Services and Good Success. His life mission is to glorify God by adding value to his communities. His life ambition is to give away a billion dollars in his lifetime and to flip the city of Gary, IN, into a place where people are moving too, instead of moving from. His place in this obviously comes from private investment in housing but he is also working on getting a group of people together to help in the government, private and public sectors. The goal is to make a huge impact on the city’s future and the overall culture /experience for homeowners, business owners and visitors. In his life, he wants to be a conduit of God’s love and blessings and let God give through him what He may not give to him.
