Jim Carter III knows how it feels to be burned out and overwhelmed. When he was chasing money he never felt satisfied. And when he asked himself if his goals were worth the effort he was putting into them, he realized the answer was no. Jim’s realization was affirmed when he read Adam Braun’s book, The Promise of a Pencil, and this was where his transformative journey began! Today, Jim is dedicated to providing changemakers with the technological tools they need to thrive. He is motivated by serving his family and making the world a better place and he is wealthier (in all senses of the word) than he ever has been. During this conversation with Jim, he shares his advice for finding your purpose, key tools to overcoming impostor syndrome, and his approach to creating a workplace culture that is built on the core values of freedom and balance.
