Larry Kesslin is an Entrepreneur and a Connector. His father walked the tight-rope between professional success and financial failure, using “Think and Grow Rich” as his Bible. As a child and teenager, Larry absorbed the lesson that the family’s emotional well-being depended on its volatile financial fortunes. In his fifties, Larry’s quest has intensified. Instead of “success,” he seeks significance. He recently reconfigured his consulting business partnership of 20 years in order to find the intersection of purpose and personal connections that bring deep joy to life. “Success Redefined: When Wants Become Needs” is the account of his journey.

He has learned a number of incredibly valuable lessons on his journey, not the least of which is that it's hard to be purposeful when you can't pay the bills, that he is going to share in this interview.

In this interview we talked about:

• His transition Journey from Corporate America to Entrepreneurship.

• Why it's important from a community perspective, that how business leaders can shape and change the world?

• More about Capitalism.
