Purpose & Profit Podcast

Leadership Lessons from Blockbuster, Boston Market, and Compassion International


Listen Later

Today’s conversation is about creating an atmosphere for success in nonprofits and for-profit organizations. 

Join Dave and Carly as they welcome guest Tom Beck. Tom has more than thirty years of leadership experience. His operational experience ranges from innovating in the video rental business to opening one of the first three Blockbuster Stores in the Midwest to building the Boston Market and Einstein Bagels franchises. 

Tom now serves with Compassion International as Chief People and Culture Officer, helping to guide the international charity as they empower local churches to provide individualized and holistic care to children in poverty so they are free to learn, grow, play, and dream.

Discussion Topics:

  • Hire people smarter than yourself. Don’t be your own limiting constraint.

  • How non-profits can learn from large companies.

  • Resources to help you grow your perspective on people and culture.

  • Tom’s decades of experience in leadership at Blockbuster, Boston Chicken, Einstein Bagel, and Compassion International.

  • We hope you enjoy our conversation with Tom Beck!
