Award-winning entrepreneur and author Gary Hartfield shares his inspiring and deeply personal story with host Owen LaFave. Gary describes his unconventional career path and humble beginnings in small-town Florida, revealing how his parents’ aspirations shaped his choices and gave him a strong work ethic and passion for leadership. Despite earning an engineering degree and an MBA, Gary felt unfulfilled in corporate America, leading him to search for a greater purpose beyond traditional career expectations. His business venture into assisted living facilities began as a partnership with his sister, but after her sudden passing, Gary chose resilience by carrying on her legacy and growing the business. He shares how writing leadership books like The Journey to Success is another step toward leaving your own legacy. Gary attributes his achievements to compliance, strategic scaling, and the power of social capital, emphasizing the importance of relationships, perseverance, and leading by example. Tune in for the secret sauce to Gary’s success: inelastic businesses that remain stable even during economic downturns and global pandemics.
