Today, in the second half of our conversation with David Branderhorst, we talk about:

• David’s role in the Igniting Souls organization.
• The goal of the programs and products David and his partner are developing.
• What impact means.
• Where David finds his reward.

David left a banking career to be a full time dad. As his kids entered school, he pursued entrepreneurial opportunities and now impacts people on a global scale.

David worked with directly with the CFO and CEO of a regional bank and his wife had a successful career of her own. They had a baby, then had twins. There were cracks showing in the foundation of their marriage due to stress and exhaustion.

David realized the outcome he and his wife wanted went far beyond survival.

They agreed he should “walk away” from his career to invest his time as dad to his three children while his wife continued her career.

When the kids were old enough to go to school, David began to search for a new career, but realized he wanted more than just a job.

He eventually partnered with Kary Oberbrunner to build Igniting Souls, where he helps individuals and organizations clarify who they are, why they are here, and where they should invest their time and energy.
