Building an Intentional Career and Organization with Barrett Brooks

<p>Barrett Brooks believes that business, when done right, can be one of the most powerful forces for good in the world.<br /> <br /> His career took a sharp turn when the path he planned ended up feeling empty. This sent him on a journey toward discovering what makes meaningful work. I'll let him tell his story.<br /> <br /> But needless to say, Barett has thought long and hard about work and meaning, both for himself as well as for his organization. Today he's the COO of Convertkit.<br /> <br /> Self described as a Husband. Father. Change maker. Optimist. and Environmentalist, I loved connecting with Barrett and hearing the many twists and turns it takes to find your way in your work. I left this conversation feeling so grateful for the intentionality he brings to the organization that he's building, and hope to do the same in my leadership.</p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p><strong>In this episode you'll learn:</strong></p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --></p> <ul> <li>What Berrett is excited about right now</li> <li>Where his journey toward meaningful work began for him</li> <li>What he's learned along the way </li> <li>How he thinks about the impact that he is trying to make</li> <li>When to decide to stay in the course or move on from a job/project/idea</li> <li>How he determines culture and environmental fit in the hiring process</li> <li>How Convertkit uses an exercise called “Listening walks”</li> <li>What are the eight things that contribute to meaningful work</li> </ul> <p><!-- /wp:list --></p> <p>Show notes at: <a href= "https://themeaningmovement.com/?p=13095">https://themeaningmovement.com/barrett/</a></p>
