In this episode of "The Lazy CEO Podcast," host Jim Schleckser discusses the integration of purpose into businesses. Jim shares his perspective that businesses shouldn't abandon their platforms once they've established success but should instead use them to make positive contributions. He references his midlife insights from the book "Halftime," which suggests a shift from success to significance in life's second half, a concept Jim feels could be initiated much earlier in a business lifecycle.

Jim introduces Jeff Maine – CEO of Pay Proudly, a payment processing company that not only focuses on providing clarity in transactions but also embeds charitable giving into its business model. Jeff shares his journey of integrating purpose into his business from the onset, influenced by personal experiences and a desire to give back to the community. He explains how his company asks clients about causes important to them and aligns their charitable efforts accordingly, which has become a significant aspect of their business identity.
