I’ve Used The Stress I Experienced In The Military To Help Business Owners

Show notes

Another phenomenal discussion today on ScaleUp Radio. I talk with Jamie Farr, who is the co founder with his wife Kelly, of a business called Your North and they're all around the aspects of mental health and wellbeing for individuals but also within companies and other organisations.  They also work with the military and blue light organisations. We also explore the real power of core purpose and values, the strength of those within an organisation and we relate that back to some of Jamie's military experience in the RAF and his 13 or more tours.  So he's been in high stress environments, understands what it takes then to really look after each other and there's a lot of parallels I think, a lot of lessons that we can learn from the way the military handle things, and how we can relate back to business.  So I thoroughly recommend that you go across and listen to the rest of the story with Jamie. And you might like to take our checklist around levelling up your strategy and there's a number of things in there that might help you think about the core purpose and core values, and level up your strategic thinking.   Jamie can be found here:   Resources Man’s Search For Meaning by Viktor E.
