Hey, it's Cindy, send me a text, get in touch!Hey, it's Cindy, send me a text, get in touch![COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP] [SOCIAL IMPACT] [PURPOSE-DRIVEN ENTREPRENEURSHIP][#46] In this Father's Day special of The Fearless Entrepreneurs Podcast, host Cindy Chang sits down with Chris Carter, the community builder, leader, and changemaker behind Burlington Dads, a movement that grew from a simple Facebook group into a 7,000+ member community built on kindness, connection, and service.Chris shares how bringing dads together became much more than a social group. What started as a way to create connection has grown into a powerful grassroots force that has raised over a million dollars for local causes, supported families in need, and inspired a culture of generosity across the community.In this episode, Chris opens up about the real work behind building a movement: leading with purpose, protecting your values, managing team dynamics, making tough decisions, and staying grounded when growth happens faster than expected.From his early days in marketing to scaling a national charity, building Burlington Dads, and stepping into local politics, Chris's journey is a masterclass in what happens when leadership is rooted in service.This episode is not just for dads. It is for entrepreneurs, founders, community builders, and future leaders who want to create something that truly matters.If you have ever wondered how to turn good intentions into real impact, Chris's story is a powerful reminder that success is not built by hustle alone. It is built through community, consistency, purpose, and the courage to lead with heart.

Jamie Kozub and Chris Carter are the yin and yang behind Shit My Dad Taught Me, a podcast that's exploded to over 2.5 million views every month in barely 18 months. Together they also co-founded Burlington Dads, a community of 7,200 fathers that has raised over $1 million for local families and charities. But what makes these two men worth an hour of your time isn't the numbers. It's the two completely different roads that brought them here. Jamie has never met his biological father and grew up 40 minutes outside Thunder Bay in a house with no working toilet and a potbelly stove for heat. With his dad working construction hundreds of miles away Monday through Saturday, Jamie was cooking dinner and raising his little brother at 12. He moved out at 15, worked the Sony store from two till ten every day through high school, and was making $130K a year by 18. Then at 19, after blowing $60,000 at the casino, he walked back in, handed over his driver's license, and banned himself from every casino in Ontario. Chris had the opposite upbringing: a ten-out-of-ten dad who fed every kid who walked through the door and modeled what it means to raise daughters. Now a girl dad of two, Chris shares his number one piece of advice, just take them with you, and the story of the letter that confronted him at 340 pounds. A year later, he's lost nearly 100 pounds and is preparing for his first bodybuilding show at 42. We also go to some deep waters in this one: their friend Matt's story of losing his father and grandfather to suicide, and my own 33 days of insomnia in 2017 and the counselor's words that changed my perception forever. This is a conversation about fatherhood, brotherhood, and building the communities that keep men alive and thriving. Don't miss it.   Timeline Summary [1:02] Larry welcomes Jamie Kozub and Chris Carter, the yin and yang behind Shit My Dad Taught Me [1:56] Jamie on never meeting his biological father and why he feels no void to fill [2:58] Growing up outside Thunder Bay with no working toilet, a potbelly stove, and a dad gone Monday to Saturday [10:33] Chris's number one girl dad advice: just take them with you, from boardrooms to private jets [17:56] Moving out at 15, couch surfing, and working the Sony store from two till ten every day [19:39] Making $130K at 18 and turning down a University of Miami scholarship [20:28] Walking into the casino at 19 to ban himself from every casino in Ontario for five years [26:35] Chris's dad and the barbecue pizza rule: everyone who walks through the door gets fed [33:02] How Shit My Dad Taught Me reached 2.5 million monthly views through radical authenticity [37:16] The Lexie J letter story that confronted Chris at 340 pounds and sparked his transformation [42:18] Their friend Matt's story of loss and his commitment to breaking a generational cycle [45:18] Larry opens up about 33 days of insomnia and the counselor's words that changed everything [48:14] Pits and peaks: Chris's daily traditions for getting his girls to open up [51:46] A warrior on a farm: why the biggest guy in the room works hardest at being gentle [54:30] Jamie on raising boys who respect women, learn from losing, and greet every guest at the door [56:47] Inside Burlington Dads: 14 events, a $75K golf tournament, and a $77K Christmas toy drive   Five Key Takeaways You don't need a void filled to move forward; Jamie chose to honor the dad who raised him while letting go of the one who didn't, and turned a hard childhood into fuel instead of an excuse. The simplest girl dad advice is also the best: take your kids with you everywhere so they never believe a glass ceiling exists. Make your home the place where every kid is fed, welcomed, and safe, because you'd rather your kids make their choices under your roof than somewhere else. Find the thing that confronts you before your family has to write you the letter; Chris lost nearly 100 pounds because he refused to put his daughters in that position. Whatever pain you're carrying, you don't have to carry it alone; real communities of men exist, and guys like Jamie and Chris will always pick up the phone.   Links & Resources Shit My Dad Taught Me — available on all platforms, including Spotify and YouTube Follow Chris on Instagram — @chriscarterbd Follow Jamie on Instagram — @jamiekozub Burlington Dads on Facebook Episode resources — https://thedadedge.com/1491 Join the Dad Edge Alliance — https://thedadedge.com/join Questions for the Car free download — https://thedadedge.com/kidquestions Closing There's a moment in this episode where a 19-year-old kid making six figures walks into a casino, hands over his driver's license, and bans himself for five years because he knew the life he wanted required a different man. That's what taking responsibility actually looks like, and it's the thread running through this entire conversation, from Chris's 100-pound transformation to two men building a community of 7,200 dads who refuse to do life alone. If this one hit home, send it to the brother in your life who needs to hear that good men come together. Go out and live legendary.

“If you're not willing to invest in people, you probably shouldn't be an entrepreneur.” — Chris CarterIn this episode of Evolving Your Workplace, host Carol Schultz sits down with Chris Carter, Founder and CEO of Approyo, to discuss the hard realities founders face when building and scaling a company — particularly inside the highly complex SAP ecosystem. From hiring mistakes to enterprise technology transformations, Chris shares candid insights drawn from decades of experience working with SAP systems and leading a global technology company. Chris explains how he came out of retirement in 2011 to start Approyo and quickly discovered one of the most common traps founders fall into: trying to do everything themselves. Early in the company's growth, he delayed hiring key leadership roles and found himself stretched across operations, technology, sales, and management. Looking back, he believes bringing in strong operators earlier would have accelerated growth and prevented unnecessary strain.The conversation explores why leadership teams must be built around complementary strengths. Chris describes this balance as a “yin and yang” dynamic between visionary founders and operational leaders who can manage the day-to-day execution required to scale a company.Carol and Chris also dive into the realities of competing in the enterprise technology space. As the SAP ecosystem experiences one of the largest upgrade cycles in its history, companies are under pressure to migrate legacy systems to modern cloud platforms. Yet many organizations continue to delay these transitions due to cost concerns, internal resistance to change, and employees reluctant to learn new systems.Chris also highlights a growing challenge across the industry: talent shortages and an aging workforce within the SAP ecosystem. With many experienced professionals nearing retirement, companies are struggling to attract younger talent — while at the same time expecting new hires to bring real-world experience rather than just academic credentials.The discussion also addresses the growing role of AI in enterprise technology. Chris shares how he is actively experimenting with emerging AI tools to build applications, automate processes, and help companies understand how artificial intelligence will reshape enterprise systems in the coming years.The episode closes with a conversation about leadership culture. Chris believes successful companies are built by combining accountability with empathy — creating environments where employees are trusted to deliver results while being treated with respect and flexibility.The message is clear: scaling a company requires more than technology or strategy. It requires leaders who know when to delegate, how to build balanced teams, and why investing in people is the foundation of long-term growth.Key topics covered:Why founders often wait too long to hire key leadership rolesThe leadership “yin and yang” between vision and operational executionLessons learned from building a global SAP consulting companyThe massive global migration from legacy SAP systems to cloud platformsWhy many organizations delay enterprise technology upgradesTalent shortages and workforce challenges in the SAP ecosystemWhy real-world experience matters more than degrees in modern hiringThe growing role of AI in enterprise software and business operationsBuilding company culture through accountability, trust, and empathyConnect With Host Carol SchultzFind more information about our host Carol Schultz and her company at Vertical Elevation, LinkedIn, and Instagram.Want to be our next guest expert?
