Gene Crusie, CEO of Surf Internet, measures success by impact, not just growth.

From repairing printers in the 90s to leading a 400-person fiber company across the Midwest, Gene shares how faith, resilience, and a defining wrestling moment shaped his mindset: stop playing not to lose — start playing to win.

In this episode, he reflects on bold pivots, investing in people, and the daily reminder he keeps on his desk — a jar of marbles representing the finite days of life.

His message is simple: do hard things, lead with intention, and use your day well.
