Listen "Building a Culture Where People Matter with Milton Bartley"
Episode Synopsis
In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Milton Bartley, CEO of ImageQuest, who shares his incredible story of service, leadership, and purpose. From his early days in the military to running a successful IT company, Milton opens up about how his life experiences have shaped his commitment to both his employees and his community. We dive into the many ways ImageQuest gives back, from providing free IT services to nonprofits like High Hopes and The New Beginnings Center, to financially supporting Reboot Recovery’s life-changing trauma programs. Milton also shares how thinking outside the box—like opening a satellite office to eliminate long commutes—has made a huge difference in his team’s lives. And of course, we couldn’t help but geek out a bit about the future of AI, cybersecurity, and the ethical challenges ahead.
