227: Walking Away From Good to Create Great with Scott Rammage

Quitting can be the best thing for you if it’s something that isn’t the right fit or giving you the life you want. In this episode, I’m joined by fellow husband, father, retired teacher, and founder of Brotherhood of Fatherhood, Scott Rammage. Scott shares his story of closing down a business, and leaving past careers that weren’t serving his desire to make an impact, or be there for his family. Going from good and “safe” to create something great. Now Scott creates the type of events and experiences for men that he was missing for himself, helping them discover the power of pausing, reflecting, and connecting with other great men. Getting down to what matters most.
