Listen "Building an Intentional Career and Organization with Barrett Brooks"
Episode Synopsis
Barrett Brooks believes that business, when done right, can be one of the most powerful forces for good in the world. 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. 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. 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. In this episode you'll learn: What Berrett is excited about right now Where his journey toward meaningful work began for him What he's learned along the way How he thinks about the impact that he is trying to make When to decide to stay in the course or move on from a job/project/idea How he determines culture and environmental fit in the hiring process How Convertkit uses an exercise called "Listening walks" What are the eight things that contribute to meaningful work Show notes at: https://themeaningmovement.com/barrett/
