Throughout society, we’re working toward actively creating space for our personal journeys within our work. And not for just pieces and parts of ourselves but for the whole individual. But to do so effectively, it takes intentionality. Intentionality of resources, intentionality of mindset, and intentionality of bringing all of the human experience into our discussions.
This is, in essence, the unspoken heart of Savage to Sage. That’s why I (Daniel Fuller), and my co-host, Kyle Maloney, want to lean into this even more. So in this episode, we outline our vision for where we’re going in 2024. Then, in upcoming episodes, we’ll be highlighting some very impactful portions of past interviews.
“We’ve heard so often the negative examples… Because it’s so difficult to honor your humanity and honor other people in this journey toward building a successful business… [So] we also want to hear stories of human flourishing in the midst of the challenges.” – Daniel Fuller

At Savage to Sage, it’s our intention to grow and learn from one another as entrepreneurs. It’s why we do what we do with the podcast and at FullStack PEO. In this, it’s important to sometimes get personal. We always appreciate when others open up so we can all connect and learn, and feel it is our turn.
With that in mind, I (Daniel Fuller), and my co-host, Kyle Maloney, thought it could be beneficial to share about our very eventful 2023. Join us as we reflect on how we’ve both grown, and grieved through the loss of our fathers and much more this past year.
“[In both losing our fathers this year], the biggest thing that I think Daniel and I have reflected upon is just the idea of space, of needing space. And then partnering with people that kind of understand.” – Kyle Maloney

As a business owner, it’s important to know where you stand both in your marketplace and in your business. It affects countless decisions you make, so gaining accurate information and holding difficult conversations have to happen. But the beauty is that entrepreneurs have the ability to face battles and make adjustments.
To talk about all this, I (Kyle) interviewed Glenn Dunlap, the Co-Founder and CEO of Peerview Data, and the Founder and President of Big League Tours. Glenn opened up about the need for appropriate vulnerability and transparency.
“The one fallacy about difficult conversations is that once you have them, that it’s resolved. And that’s not true. Difficult conversations often start a process of resolution. It often doesn’t finish that.” -- Glenn Dunlap
