Ever wonder what it takes to spark real innovation, navigate billion-dollar ideas, and keep your sanity in the process? Join us for this episode of No Labels, No Limits with Terry Rich—entrepreneur, former CEO of the Iowa Lottery, and global keynote speaker.

Terry has done it all: turned a struggling nonprofit zoo into the 2nd largest state attraction, gave away over $1 billion, and even sat on the panel of The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson! In this episode, Terry shares how to balance the drive for success (which he says can feel like “cocaine”) with the importance of enjoying the journey and staying true to your values.

We dive into topics like how to brainstorm without judgment, why failure is the first step to success, and how to lead with integrity and humor in uncertain times.

Key Takeaways:

• The “COT” (Consider or Throw Away) method for driving innovation
• How to find the balance between ambition and well-being
• Real-world lessons from turning around nonprofits & growing revenue
• Fraud prevention tips for leaders and nonprofit teams
• Why happiness happens on the way to success
