Season 1 Episode 17
In this episode, host Steve Robbins interviews Jim Litten, the longtime CEO and owner of F.C. Tucker, about his journey from Vietnam veteran and food salesman to one of Indiana’s most respected real estate leaders. Jim recounts how he joined Tucker in 1972, helped lead its strategic expansion, and, alongside partners Fred Tucker III and David Goodrich, purchased the company from its founders in 1985. He reflects on decades of leadership—expanding into mortgage banking, franchising, and eventually forming a partnership with Howard Hanna Real Estate—while emphasizing that the heart of the business has always been people.
Jim shares timeless lessons on success, leadership, and gratitude, stressing the importance of discipline, likability, and emotional intelligence. He believes in evaluating each day by asking, “What did I do to help someone today?” and credits his longevity to curiosity, health, and surrounding himself with younger people. His message is simple but powerful: do what you love, treat people right, and give back—the true foundations of both business and life.
