#372 - Pete Ochs - Founder @ Enterprise Stewardship - Stewardship Vs Ownership in Business

Pete is the founder and chairman of Capital III, an impact investment company with investments in the US and Central America. Enterprise Stewardship is an initiative of Capital III that equips marketplace leaders with resources to transform their personal LIFE and business enterprises. During his four decades in business, he has invested in and operated companies in the energy, manufacturing, banking, and education sectors, often focusing on places devoid of human flourishing such as prisons and poverty-stricken countries. Pete’s passion is to educate, equip, and empower business leaders worldwide to live for something greater than themselves. 

We discuss:

• Moving his business into a Maximum Security Prison
• Becoming a Steward of a business rather than an Owner
• Pursuing Economic, Social and Spiritual Capital
