Eric Edmeades on injecting passion into your accountants (and growing a few multi-million $ businesses along the way)

Eric Edmeades is a master story-teller. This week's episode of the Karmic Capitalist isn’t just packed full of sage moments, but is just... plain... fun. From parents rebelling against apartheid in South Africa, to blowing things up for a living, to taking on the food industry - it’s one heck of a ride.

Adventure, purpose and business success. Eric has grown and turned around significant businesses in tech, in AV, in nutrition, in business consulting and more.

When you’re able to turn your hand to, and succeed in, such a diverse portfolio of sectors, there’s clearly something at work. 

For Eric, much of this comes down to the gifts he gave himself - of health, of communication and economic liberty. Gifts which, not so incidentally,  he's build businesses to share with others.

But it also comes down to creating companies that have a clear sense of values and mission. And then get the team behind the mission. Including the unbelievable trick of getting your accountants impassioned by it (sorry to any of my accounting friends for the indirect stereotype!).

Find the Karmic Capitalist podcast on Spotify, iTunes or Google. And listen in to this fun conversation with a values-driven and serially successful entrepreneur. Enjoy the ride with Eric. And you're welcome!

I host a weekly online workshop with CEOs of SMEs (10 to 100 employees approx) about scaling up, allowing them to step back and do more strategic work, and doing it in line with their values. Max 6 per session so we can have a real conversation.

If you'd like to join me, find a date that works for you here. They aren't charged for - you and I will both get value from the conversation.

Only CEOs / MDs apply - strictly peer-level conversation.
