What if purpose was the smartest business strategy?


On this episode, host Craig Thielen talks with Amanda Brinkman, CEO of Sunshine Studios and creator of The Small Business Revolution. Amanda shares how doing good isn't just the right thing, it's the most impactful thing. From brand building to personal breakthroughs, Amanda’s story proves that purpose isn’t a buzzword... it’s a ripple effect.


Key takeaways:

👉Purpose drives profit – Doing good and doing well can go hand in hand

👉Long-term impact takes commitment – Great ideas need time and protection to grow

👉Your purpose is already within you – It’s more about revealing than finding

👉Small businesses lead with heart – They naturally blend community and service

👉Align work and life purpose – True fulfillment comes when both are in sync
