    Episode 112 - The Importance of Having A Purpose-Driven, Mission Based Focus with Lisa Wise

    Join Clint McPherson and special guest Lisa Wise as she talks about the culture of work that onboards everyone to thrive. Lisa discusses how not to be the build-the-plane-while-flying-it type of person, another way to win at brand visibility aside from Facebook ads, and why she believes it's essential to put the server first as the CEO of Flock DC. As a born entrepreneur, Lisa proves that an evergreen business is possible even outside the traditional paradigms of capitalism. In this episode you will learn: Lisa Wise – on detracting from the shiny objects The Non-Traditional Measure of Success Philanthropy over marketing How to identify evergreen businesses How to attract and retain great talents and so much more! About Lisa Wise: Lisa Wise is an entrepreneur, change maker, thought leader, writer, and philanthropist. Growing up throughout rural Idaho, Lisa was surrounded by love but short on resources and stability. She sought security by building businesses from a young age, starting with her first of many enterprises, The Sherlock Holmes Detective Agency. Offices were open for business in her parents' backyard tool shed, but clients and their mysteries never materialized. But, like most passionate entrepreneurs, she moved on to the next endeavor, whether that be hustling as a dog-walker, snow shoveler, painted rock saleswoman, or pet sitter. Today, Lisa is the Founder + CEO of Flock DC, a family of real estate management companies that oversee two billion dollars in property in Washington, DC property. Flock is a purpose-driven, values-based company that offers a new model for business in a world that will increasingly depend on companies to contribute to stronger and more sustainable communities.
