In this episode of Leafy Podcast, our hosts talk with Josh Patrick, CEO of https://sustainablebusiness.co/.  Josh is a Certified Financial Planner®, a Certified Financial Transitionist®, a Chartered Financial Consultant®, a Chartered Life Underwriter®, a serial entrepreneur, and writer, contributing to The New York Times’, Inc.com, Huffington Post and Forbes.com.  He is also the host of a podcast called “The Sustainable Business” where he talks with thought leaders who will help you think about your business or your clients’ business twenty, thirty or more years into the future. Josh tells us that you need humbleness and vulnerability to truly become a successful business owner  and lead from the back, meaning you  ask great questions that make all of your employees think outside the box and shift mindsets. Josh also tells us that successful companies have clearly articulated values, used as a tool, not just something you hang on the wall. A business owner also has to become operationally irrelevant to create a sustainable business. He says you will always stay small if you think tactically, not  strategic. Listen to the whole episode to hear the additional major components to create a sustainable business.
