Is it possible to be a driven entrepreneur… a high-achieving leader… an industry-changing innovator and… at the same time… have inner peace?

Our guest… Rob Dube believes it is.

In fact, Rob recently wrote a book called “Shine: How Looking Inward Is the Key to Unlocking True Entrepreneurial Freedom.”

In the book… Rob and his co-author Gino Wickman… talk about 10 simple disciplines… they believe you can use to make a bigger impact while increasing your personal freedom and true creativity.

I haven’t been able to read the book yet… but I’m excited for this conversation… because…

We’re going to talk with Rob about what these disciplines are… why they matter… and most importantly… how you can use them to dream bigger… think better and do more of what you’re put on the planet to do!

Let’s do this!!!

Kris Cody is the CEO and founder of a freakishly cool clothing company…  Paka Apparel! 

While in college… Kris took a trip to Peru and while he was there… he came across a sweater made with wool from alpaca fiber.  He loved the thing… and when he came back to the states… he realized all of his friends wanted one too.  As Kris started to dream about the possibilities… he was also struck with the thought of sourcing everything right from Peru… from the families that he’d interacted with on his trip.  He also loved the thought of hiring local women to craft sweaters and clothing he could send around the world.

With that dream in mind… Kris started a company called Paka Apparel in 2017.  He fueled the launch of Paka with a Kickstarter campaign that initially had a goal of $20,000 and they hit that in under 24 hours.  Kris and the campaign went on to raise more than $350,000 in 30 days. 

From that exciting start… Paka has now created a line of washable alpaca apparel and ethical performance outerwear, along with Paka's tried and true sweaters, hoodies and socks.

And get this.  Paka Apparel… under Kris’s leadership… has been celebrated for their efforts to localize Paka’s supply chain: 

  • All of Paka’s alpaca fiber is sourced from free-roaming herds in Peru.
  • 90% of products are manufactured in Peru.
  • And… over 100 Quechua (keCHwa) women weavers are employed and Paka pays them a wage that’s 4x the living wage in Peru

And the clothing looks awesome too!  

I’m loving this story!  And Kris is obviously living the DREAM THINK DO life… so let’s get to this!

Okay… NOW…I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU:

How about it!?  

What did you think of Kris’s approach to life and how curiosity led him to start PAKA?

I just love out “curiosity” led him to take that initial trip to Peru.  And how finding that one sweater led him to starting a MOVEMENT.

By the way… that’s exactly what I think PAKA is.  Sure… it’s a freakishly cool clothing brand.  But… I think Kris and his team are starting a MOVEMENT… one small step at a time.

How about YOU?  How might you apply the concepts he was talking about to start a MOVEMENT of your own?

You sure don’t need to launch a clothing brand… but how could you “follow YOUR curiosity” to find more of the things YOU were put on the planet to do?

By the way… Kris is young and he started young.  And that’s awesome!!!

But I think that his approach can be applied to ANY stage of life… especially if you give yourself permission to take small but intentional steps forward!

Want proof?  Check out THIS EPISODE where I interview Shawn Askinosie about how he left a successful career as a criminal defense lawyer to start a bean-to-bar chocolate factory.  He was in his mid-50’s when he started that journey… and he… as Kris would say, “kept following his curiosity” and he’s never looked back. 

By the way… Askinosie Chocolate is a small batch, award-winning chocolate factory located in Springfield, Missouri. They source 100%  of their cocoa beans directly from farmers across the globe. Askinosie Chocolate was recently named one of the 25 Best Small Companies in America by Forbes and Shawn himself was named by “O,” Oprah’s magazine, as one of the 15 guys who is literally saving the world. Very cool.

Okay… now you know the question is coming!  Are you ready?  

Here it is: What’s something (BIG or small) YOU want to do as a result of hearing THIS episode? 

Lastly… PLEASE share this powerful conversation with a friend or family member who might be needing it… right now! 

They’ll thank you!

And hey… remember… I believe in you!
