#02 Haley Boehning: The relationship between purpose and profit


Listen Later

“Purpose without profit is a dream. Profit without purpose is meaningless.” - Haley Boehning

Every time we have a call with Haley, we always think “wow, we should have recorded that.”

Well, lucky you!

We finally recorded a conversation.

Haley was the perfect first interview for Flying the Coop.

She is an expert at purpose.

In this episode, we cover juicy questions like:

  • What even is purpose, beyond the buzz-word definition of it?
  • And how does that purpose help make every single decision easier and more efficient?
  • How do you know if your purpose is muddled… even if it’s written down super clearly?
  • And our personal favorite question: How do you make the business case for ‘purpose’ without sounding too ‘woo woo?’

    We loved this conversation.

    In fact, after this convo we had a full hour session to rework Strange Birds’ purpose, which then turned into a 6-email series in our newsletter of how we unclucked our messaging.

     

    Action items from this conversation:

    • What is your purpose?
    • What is one way you could better embed your purpose in your work days?
    • If you have a team: have an open discussion about your purpose in your next stand up. What does it mean to them?
    •
