On today’s show I sat down with Morgan and Katie Lucas, the leadership duo behind Lucas Oil, to discuss the company's incredible journey.

They talk about the entrepreneurial spirit of founders Forrest and Charlotte Lucas who started the business in 1989 to solve friction problems in truck engines, and how their hard work and innovation led to their name being emblazoned on Lucas Oil Stadium.

Morgan and Katie share insights on their leadership roles as CEO and president, the importance of Indiana in their business operations, and their strategies for future growth.

They also highlight Lucas Oil’s ongoing efforts to improve lives through its products and community involvement, as well as its recent global expansion initiatives.
