The Problem:
Too many business owners chase profits without purpose—leaving impact, fulfillment, and connection behind.
One quiet evening, Genevieve Piturro heard a voice inside her heart ask a simple, life-changing question: “If this is the next 30 years of your life… is this enough?”
That moment turned everything upside down.
She was a successful TV marketing executive—living the dream on paper. But deep down, something was missing. That question sparked her mission to start a nonprofit from scratch: Pajama Program, which has now delivered over 8 million pajamas and books to children in need.
In this heart-filled episode of Knack 4 Business, Genevieve shares the four core truths she’s learned that can move not just her, but all of us, forward.
