#163 Ari Weinzweig, CEO of Zingerman's Community of Businesses, on Visioning and the Myth of the One Thing

Joining me on the show for the second time is Ari Weinzweig, the co-founder of Zingerman's Community of Businesses.

You have probably heard me reference Zingerman’s on the show about how they are true trailblazers when it comes to building a business that make sound financial results as well as a positive impact on people, society and the planet.

Ari has written a range of books and pamphlets including ‘The Guide to Good Leading Series - Part 1, 2, 3 & 4’ – and today we will be diving into the book and their experiences in how they continue to build such a great company.  

This conversation will give you great guidance on how to build a great business for the long-term. We also discuss the communities Ari has been formed by, his freewriting process for visioning, and why we need to stop chasing after ‘The One Thing’.
