During this episode, you will learn about; [00:00] Pre-show [02:26] Episode intro and a quick bio of our guest; Blaine Bartlett [03:35] What is “the Soul of Business.” [05:34] Does each business have its own character traits and soul? [07:47] Blaine’s journey in defining his business values [10:08] Incremental growth [18:38] Case Studies [27:47] All business behaviors are organized around meaning [28:48] Differences between conscious capitalism vs. compassionate capitalism [33:01] Business is not only for human beings [35:47] Curiosity to achieve utopia [37:00] Connect with Blaine and get free resources [38:03] Blaine’s podcast and what you expect once you subscribe [40:52] Rapid Fire Round and wrap up Key Takeaways: ~ The soul of anything is the spark that gives it life and meaning. The soul of business is what keeps the organization vibrant. It’s not the numbers, not the goals, or the objectives. ~ Obstacles are a part of life. If you don’t have obstacles, you are not stressed, and if you are not stressed, you are not growing. ~ Most organizations aren’t set up to flourish because they don’t provide the mechanisms by which that happens. ~ A leader’s job largely is to ensure that their people find ways to emotionally connect with the organization’s goals and objectives- Its soul. ~ The purpose of business is to uplift the experience of living on this planet. It is not to make money. Making money is a consequence of doing things well.
