#010 The Heart of an Entrepreneur with Don MacPherson
What if the real measure of a life was not success but the love and trust we leave behind?
In this episode of Getting Under the Skin, Topaz sits down with entrepreneur and mentor Don MacPherson (he/him) to talk about family, resilience, risk and the lessons that shaped him.
Don shares:
• The gifts each of his four parents passed on to him
• How loss and change shaped his view of life and relationships
• The summer adventure that set him on a new path
• Why he put off surgery for years and what it taught him when he finally said yes
• How trust, curiosity and love guide the way he leads and lives
This is a conversation about facing hardship, choosing gratitude and discovering the power of love in leadership and in life.
What has life designed you for?
These conversations are not performative interviews, book release tours or productivity hacks.
Genuine curiosity is the compass for these honest, human-to-human exchanges of stories. We explore how people are formed by the lives they’ve lived and celebrate the wisdom gained along the way.
