Our conversation focused on Jim’s broad outlook on what’s important to building a community.  We defined community broadly, a physical space, a group of relationships.

Jim’s experience having written with varied entrepreneurs allowed him to offer a vivid perspective.  How does positive energy grounded in reality serve both entrepreneurs and the public?  How do our adversities in life and business effect our future decision-making?  Most importantly, what role do relationships play in building a meaningful and successful life in business and at home?

You’ll find courageous realism and a healthy dose of humor in episode two of our series on finding meaning in your life through business and investment.  An EPIC Guide to Community Building.
