It’s been said that ‘culture is what we make of the world around us’. It’s episode 27 of Consuming Careers podcast, and we’re meeting with Chris Carneal, founder and CEO of Booster. And if you’re not familiar with Booster, you’re gonna hear all about it in a few minutes. But more than just a successful company, there’s a bigger story here. It's how Chris and his team took their core Virtues (not “values”) and put them to the test, most notably the virtue of GRIT. What you’ll hear is more than just hollow words on a wall, but guiding virtues that helped him and his team navigate some of business’ most dangerous waters. And the result? a stronger and more magnetic culture that continues to thrive today. We also go out of our way to unpack a few of the strategies that Chris employs to make an impact at Booster, that you can make it as well, wherever you are. And that, my friends, is the art of creating culture.
