Description

In this episode, I listen to the Founder and CEO of Campfire Labs, Michael Thomas, describe his entrepreneurial journey and I am blown away at his generosity and his frame of mind when it comes to giving back.    Michael had a successful company that he decided to sell back in 2017, and because it was during a political turning point, he felt the need to help others so he pledged 25% of the proceeds to charitable causes. He then spent half a year volunteering with refugees in Greece, where he came to learn the lifestyle of people with difficult circumstances.   About a year after returning from his volunteer work, Michael started his new company, Campfire Labs, a journalistic-style content agency. But he wanted to continue helping others, so Michael and his partner give 50% of Campfire’s equity and profits to charitable causes.    Tune into this episode to get some inspiring details about Michael’s passion for giving to charity and how he did so. This interview won’t let you down...

On the Working Without Pants podcast I bring you the inspiring stories of agency owners and consultants. I dive deep to uncover the secrets of their success. We talk about how they got started, what led to their success, and how they maintained a life / work balance along the way. I often also talk about business development strategies for these agencies and what is working for them. Many of your listeners include individuals who run software development agencies, digital marketing agencies, design firms, consulting companies, video production agencies, freelancers, consultants and many more. Topics we cover are b2b sales, winning new clients, lead generation, sales process, growth tactics, million dollar consulting, outreach, outbound sales, thought leadership, positioning and much more. And as always, I keep the show fun and record episodes without pants!
