Listen "Pete Ochs: A Whole New Reason to Be In Prison"
Episode Synopsis
Our guest is Pete Ochs, founder and CEO of Capital III, a firm that owns and operates companies in the U.S. and Latin America. In this episode, Pete describes how his views on poverty, wealth, capital, and stewardship have evolved over four decades into a portfolio of companies operated by redemptive principles.
One of Capital III’s companies, SeatKing, operates inside two Kansas prisons. Pete traces the arc of how this workforce approach developed from its tentative early stages into a scalable, purposeful model that “transformed” Pete as much as it changed the lives of his employees.
His story reflects the deepening surrender of his will, the generous stewardship of his capital, and the pursuit of his relationship with God.
Pete and his team’s work at Capital III are beautifully profiled in the first episode of the Dealmakers series, available at dealmakersfilms.com.
