SHOW SUMMARY

In this episode of The Modern Financial Podcast, Andre returns to feature Sean Badding, a longtime friend and college roommate and President of Everlasting Service. He shares how he ended up in the healthcare industry, a complete 180 from what he used to know and do, as both the fruit of new opportunities and a desire for more fulfillment at work.

But entering an industry with a lack of knowledge, contacts, and expertise were challenges in the beginning. Sean shares how they lost a partner, one of the experts who would've accelerated their knowledge of the industry, and how they remained committed to their goal despite that.

Sean shares that operating 10 assisted living homes is a special opportunity and honor to care for people. He strives to make a difference in their lives and this passion to help remains at the core of his commitment despite the many challenges of entering a brand new industry.

QUOTES

03:36 Sean: "I'm always dreaming. The day you stop dreaming is the day you start looking for retirement, and that is not me. I don't think that'll ever be me, but dreaming is the key here and envisioning what you can do, keeping positive in terms of your mindset."

08:02 Sean: "Keep your eyes and ears open. New opportunities come about. I don't believe in luck, I believe in that you create your own opportunities and those opportunities are coming about because you are paying attention."

16:02 Andre: "It's committed versus interested. When you're fully committed, those little barriers, you have to be able to get through. Otherwise, you're just interested because you're going to start feeling victimized, you're going to feel sorry for yourself."

18:08 Sean: "Find who is a good partner for you and, if it works, make it work. In this case here, obviously and thankfully, it's my wife and she makes the best partner in doing what we do."

20:49 Sean: "There are three factors for success. Money, knowledge, and passion. And you only need two out of the three, and most times people have the passion and then they can get the knowledge, but they don't have the money."
