Core values are powerful. But core values driven by purpose are unstoppable! Today we are going to take a deep dive into an entrepreneur who has built not one but two highly successful businesses by not just living core values but tying purpose and giving back into the daily routines of the company.  And their results have been extraordinary!   Our guest today:  Jay Wilkinson,  Founder of Firespring, Bloom Growth & Do More Good Movement Firespring—a Nebraska-based Certified B Corporation featured by Inc. Magazine as one of the Top 50 Places to Work in America.  His TEDx talk on company culture has more than 1 million views. Currently, Jay leads the Do More Good Movement —an organization he founded in 2018 to help save capitalism.  Jay appears on CNN and other news outlets discussing the important role that purpose-driven companies play in the U.S. economy.   Problem: Story: One person- volunteering wasn't their thing. Ended up parting ways Volunteering creates an issue that you don't have someone's back as you defer work to another person.  Challenge today?  Why is this difficult to do?  Aside from core values- tied to their purpose statement. A major part of the company ethos. Candidates lie to themselves  Core values (15 years) Bring it every day Have each other's back Give a shit Why is this important to the company? Came from experience as a kid. Spending time volunteering and sharing the value with the people he works with.  How it correlates to the business. Servant leadership mindset. They serve mostly non-profits. The could not serve their clients without walking the talk.  Rick's Nuggets Core values are how people naturally operate Purpose is the glue that satiates desire. Validates belonging How do we solve the problem?  Let's start with Interviewing for Purpose Alignment Interview question: Tell me about the last time you donated your time Jay's Formula: Power of 3 1% topline revenue donated 2% of products and services are in kind given away 3% of people 1 full day a month Volunteer hours- paid time off during work Uplifting community  Quarterly conversations The manager asked for advice. Worked through the issue Put the person on a PIP.  The conflict was resolved by editing from the company. Cover Anti-values- the act Talk about it A lot of nuance, a lot of gray Part ways as soon as they know How to identify it in the interview Create dialog to get to know beyond the trite responses.  Gotten really good at finding high performers who are introverts.  Use the culture index, and ask questions to understand who they are.  The company is powered by purpose Values hall of fame Rick's Nuggets You NEED to gain evidence that your purpose is important to them ….  Unpeel the onion… dig deeper The purpose of the interview is to “Understand the Truth” Key Takeaways that the Audience can plug into their business today!  - (Values from guest) Vet candidates for alignment with the company's purpose and vision -- not just core values. People want (and need) to be part of something that's bigger than themselves. Define clear and precise job requirements - including skill, experience, and personality/attributes. Use assessment tools to understand natural, inherent behaviors and modify questions to get at the heart of who the applicant is. Create a great candidate/interviewee experience. If this applicant is not the perfect fit, but they have a positive experience, they'll spread the word.

It's a simple truth: 'business as usual' simply doesn't apply anymore... and not just because of the pandemic. In today's episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius chats with Jay Wilkinson, entrepreneur, author, speaker, angel investor, CEO of Firespring, and self-proclaimed "geek with social skills" about the rapidly shifting world of business. Hailing from Nebraska, the "middle of everywhere," Jay realized at a young age that he simply wasn't suited to taking instructions from others and became an entrepreneur, starting eight businesses by the time he left college - most of which failed. Undaunted, he took the lessons from those failures and, in 1986, helped launch Campus Connection magazine in NYC which caught on, eventually expanding to 350 college campuses.  You'll discover how Jay realized he was 100% unemployable, and how that set him on the path to becoming an entrepreneur. You'll learn about B Corps - what they are and how they're changing the way business is done by focusing on making a positive impact in the community and even the world. You'll discover why businesses need to expand their worldview and focus on a "stakeholder capitalism" mentality if they're going to survive the next decade.  You'll also learn about the Do More Good Movement (of which Jay is the founder) and its mission to educate, empower and amplify companies and business leaders doing more good. Join Darius and Jay for a fascinating conversation about making a positive impact through business and why Jay believes that, in its highest form, capitalism can be a force for good. Topics include: Jay's path to becoming an entrepreneur growing up in Nebraska and why he felt he was "100% unemployable” The definition of a B Corp, as well as the strict standards that must be met to become certified Why Jay believes that businesses must develop a 'stakeholder capitalism' mentality in order to survive the next decade and beyond The origins of the Do More Good Movement and its goal to inspire purpose-based businesses and reclaim capitalism And other topics… Connect with Jay: Website: https://jaywilkinson.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaywilkinson Connect with Darius: Website: https://therealdarius.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dariusmirshahzadeh/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whoompdarius/ YouTube: https://therealdarius.com/youtube Book: The Core Value Equation https://www.amazon.com/Core-Value-Equation-Framework-Limitless/dp/1544506708 Learn more about your ad choices.
