Giving and Culture - Purpose and Values - Success and Exceptional outcomes Episode 66 Karl Schwantes 5 Star Google Review

I had an epiphany while listening to this episode.
There is no villain in Karl’s story. He hasn’t had to overcome any massive tragedy, or Phoenix rising from the ashes. In fact it’s an unremarkable success. But a great story nevertheless.
Karl’s story is about his progress from taking over the family business; creating a business that reflected his values and purpose; building a culture that allowed him to be in control and let go of managing; and finally having the time and money to pursue another passion.
The conversation with Karl reinforced what I have been espousing to anyone who will listen that it is possible to create a business that is independent of your daily involvement.
That way your business is more valuable and you get to do the things you love.
Intellectually you would know this. But it’s the emotional connection to your business that holds you back and the lack of a North Star to draw you towards a purpose.
There are some gems in Karl's story.
