Do you know where your giving is going? Is it going somewhere where it can be 100Xed? In this episode, Jeff, Jeff, and Kip discuss: Kip's earliest entrepreneurial ventures in bubble gum sales and water skiing and how they impacted his professional career. Building a mission of faith and family. Using food to help your team connect and show support. Giving with impact and intentionality. Key Takeaways: Surround yourself with more talent. Everyone has different strengths and will lend their expertise to your gold medal performances. Life is about more than a 7 to 7 grind. Build a work culture around faith and family and you attract those who believe in that same culture. In any endeavor, if you're doing it right, being thoughtful, and you're doing what you say you're going to do, it has a way of growing.Business is easier than the strategy of giving - you'll want to be thoughtful, intentional, and focused on doing it the right way.Nothing is more important than having an open mind and heart and being open to continued education. "For me, I like to measure results. You want to make certain that however you're giving, that you have tangible evidence that it is doing good and, ideally, it's 100xing, and that you're helping people that help other people or organizations." — Kip Sowden Episode References: Halftime Institute: https://halftimeinstitute.org/A Billion Bootstraps by Phil Smith and Eric Thurman: https://www.amazon.com/Billion-Bootstraps-Microcredit-Barefoot-Business/dp/0071489975 About Kip Sowden: Mr. Sowden has over 37 years of experience in commercial real estate with a strong background in real estate brokerage and mortgage banking, acquisition, development, and asset management.
