About this Episode:
Gary Fowler, an award-winning serial entrepreneur and investor with 17 companies, two Unicorns and a successful IPO, states that purpose is about doing the right thing - meaning treating people how we want to be treated. Whatever we think is fair, true and just, follow that path and then spread positive energy along the way. To achieve success, we must surround ourselves with people who are kind, because when we, too, are kind, they are more likely to support us in our journey to success. Although Gary adds that life is more than just achievements; it’s about happiness and fulfillment. He advises us not to chase it but find activities that we’re passionate about instead, and happiness will come to us. At the end of the day, life is about finding the simple pleasures that bring us meaning.
