In life, we focus on the wrong things sometimes. We chase money, goals, power, control, and the ever-elusive pursuit of what’s waiting at the top of the mountain only to discover, we could have everything and more if we would simply just let go. It’s not a bad thing to want more, but our focus and intentions behind what we want should not be placed in things, but people.
Sam Kafuman is CEO of On The Level Construction, Entrepreneurial Coach, and host of the “Never Stop Building” Podcast. He is a family-first man, married to his wife of 5 years and has 2 children ages 12 and 9.
Today’s episode is bringing you a conversation you won’t hear that’s had between 2 men often. The topic is mainly focused on family. Sam brings a genuine flow to today’s show as he talks about taking his family for granted. Focusing on money. Chasing the dream. Being okay with being comfortable, and realizing how he was missing the mark by ignoring the one thing that was the purpose for chasing everything. Sam shares how making one simple shift in his focus allowed everything else to fall in place in his life simply by focusing on his family. Tom and Sam make the link between business and the similarities of having a family. They discuss the main mission of a CEO and why it’s important to implement everything first and clean up later. Tom shares one unique approach he took to put himself center stage in front of 4,000 people at an industry conference for 3 hours. This is one transformative episode you don’t want to miss. Pop the corn and pull up a seat.
