Between the Interviews - Making Mistakes

Mistakes. We all make them. They almost always suck. We try not to, but they happen. The key is how we handle them. It’s tough to admit when we’ve made a mistake, but the impact on our reputation is difficult to outrun. The way we address mistakes tells our internal and external circles both about who we are as people and also what we expect from them. 

What I’m reading: Shoe Dog by Phil Knight tells the story about the idea conception and start of Nike. If you’re into stories about how companies got their start, the motivation behind the inception, and hurdles faced along the way, I highly recommend this book. 

I’m not trying to tell you what to do, but here’s where I’m putting my dollar: Shopping local is a great way to support your community. Today, I specifically shout out both Quills Coffee and Chik’n & Mi in Louisville, KY for being great local businesses that I’ve recently been to. 

Early and bonus shows as well as curated discussions and merch are available on Patreon.

The Capitalism for Good Podcast is all about how we make and spend our money to benefit the greater good (and how that benefits us right back). We talk to business leaders about how they are using their businesses, both small and large, to make a positive difference in their communities. This is the intersection of money, time, energy, and bandwidth considering how to balance these for now and for the future’s “now.”

There’s also a Between the Interviews sub-series and other perks available on the Patreon.
