The "Triple PhD" Nobody Wants to Earn in Losing Everything and Coming Back w/Joe Dauskurdas
<p>Joe Dauskurdas has lived more business lives than most people can count.</p><p>helped grow Dell from $275 million to over $35 billion in revenue. He also lost everything in 2008. Today he runs Pro Growth Advisors and pours his hard-earned wisdom into founders trying to grow with intention.</p><p>Joe shares his 30-year journey from growing up on the South Side of Chicago to navigating the corporate ranks at GE Capital, and eventually cold-calling Michael Dell to build a massive partnership. </p><p>But Joe’s most powerful lessons didn't come from his successes; they came from losing everything.</p><p>Joe brings an incredible amount of wisdom (and humility) to the table. We talk about who the most important person in the room is, as well as how he cold-called Michael Dell at 28!</p><p>This one is honest, faith-aware, and full of the kind of wisdom that only comes from being knocked down and getting back up.</p><p>If you are a founder trying to do it all yourself, or if you've recently hit a massive roadblock in life or business, you need to hear Joe’s perspective on finding peace, purpose, and learning to fail differently.</p><p></p><p>---------------</p><p>Connect with Joe Dauskurdas</p><p>Website: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://progrowthadvisors.com/">https://progrowthadvisors.com/</a></p><p>LinkedIn: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/joedauskurdas/">https://www.linkedin.com/in/joedauskurdas/</a></p><p>---------------</p><p>About Reanimated Stories: Hosted by Roger Jorns, I talk with awesome business leaders about their story and we explore how to reimagine work, life, and design.</p><p>Connect with Roger: </p><p>LinkedIn: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://linkedin.com/in/roger-jorns">linkedin.com/in/roger-jorns</a></p><p>Website: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://reanimationdesign.com">reanimationdesign.com</a></p><p>YouTube: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/@reanimationdesign">https://www.youtube.com/@reanimationdesign</a></p><p>Podcast: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://rss.com/podcasts/reanimated-stories/">https://rss.com/podcasts/reanimated-stories/</a></p><p>---------------</p><p></p><p></p><p>00:00 Intro</p><p>00:39 Meet Joe In Austin</p><p>02:22 Origins And Superpowers</p><p>05:30 GE Training To Dell Call</p><p>09:28 Client First Growth Focus</p><p>15:53 Who Not How Teams</p><p>20:04 Founder Vision Pivots</p><p>23:20 Dell Lessons Listening</p><p>27:32 2008 Crash Triple PhD</p><p>36:46 Fail Differently AI Future</p><p>39:35 Outro</p>

Building a Purpose-Driven Business and Networking Without Borders w/Mark Donahue
<p>Mark Donahue isn't easy to put in a box. And honestly, that's kind of the point.</p><p>He's the founder of Yo Beebo!, a Fractional/part-time business development partner for small businesses, startups, and nonprofits who can't afford a full team but still need to grow. </p><p>He's also helping build Affero, a fintech and civic tech startup fixing the way aid money gets moved, tracked, and proven. And he is building this out of Latin America to serve the globe!</p><p>In this conversation, we dive into what it really means to build a purpose-driven business. Mark completely reframes the idea of "purpose", explaining that you do not necessarily have to solve world hunger to have a meaningful mission. Sometimes, your purpose is simply empowering your employees, securing a family legacy, or helping other founders execute their dreams.</p><p>Oh, and he's a collegiate lacrosse referee. And he lives in Mexico. And he plays bass in a hardcore band with a bunch of local guys. Like I said...not easy to put in a box.</p><p>If you've ever felt like you don't have a network, or know where to start with getting a network, or even that yours isn't strong enough, this conversation is going to hit.</p><p>So come join us today as we talk about purpose, nonprofits, fractional work and marketing in all areas of your life!</p><p></p><p></p><p>---------------</p><p>Connect with Mark Donahue</p><p>Yo Beebo!: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://yobeebo.com">yobeebo.com</a></p><p>Affero: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://affero.io">affero.io</a></p><p>LinkedIn: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-donahue-producer/">https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-donahue-producer/</a></p><p>---------------</p><p>About Reanimated Stories: Hosted by Roger Jorns, I talk with awesome business leaders about their story and we explore how to reimagine work, life, and design.</p><p>Connect with Roger: </p><p>LinkedIn: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://linkedin.com/in/roger-jorns">linkedin.com/in/roger-jorns</a></p><p>Website: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://reanimationdesign.com">reanimationdesign.com</a></p><p>YouTube: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/@reanimationdesign">https://www.youtube.com/@reanimationdesign</a></p><p>Podcast: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://rss.com/podcasts/reanimated-stories/">https://rss.com/podcasts/reanimated-stories/</a></p><p>---------------</p><p></p><p>00:00 Intro</p><p>00:42 Podcast Welcome Intro</p><p>01:39 Networking Makes World Smaller</p><p>03:46 Life in Mexico And Yo Beebo!</p><p>06:59 Ohio Travel And Lacrosse</p><p>10:46 Staying Connected With Network</p><p>12:10 Purposeful Client Fit</p><p>15:47 Legacy Businesses And Referrals</p><p>19:24 Introducing Affero Mission</p><p>25:29 Lessons Build Trust Network</p><p>31:58 Building Community In Mexico</p><p>35:21 Where To Find Mark</p><p>36:46 Band Music And Niches</p><p>40:55 Outro</p>

100,000 Lives Saved: How Love Justice International is Fighting Global Trafficking w/ Doug Dowark
<p>⚠️ <strong>Heads up:</strong> This episode covers human trafficking, including sex and labor trafficking. The conversation is honest, faith-based, and handled with care, but it is heavier than my usual episodes. Please listen with that in mind.</p><p></p><p>What started as an effort to build a single children's home in Nepal shifted dramatically when Doug and his team learned a devastating statistic: over 10,000 girls were being trafficked annually from Nepal into India.</p><p>Instead of turning away, they asked, "Now that we know, what are we going to do?"</p><p>Doug Dowark is the Global Ambassador for Love Justice International, a faith-based organization working to prevent human trafficking before the damage is done.</p><p>Today, they operate in 16+ countries with a strategy called transit monitoring — placing trained staff at train stations, bus stations, border crossings, and high-traffic roads to identify and intercept potential trafficking situations before victims are ever sold.</p><p>In this episode, Doug breaks down Love Justice International’s unique, preventative approach to human trafficking called "transit monitoring."</p><p>We talk about the differences between prevention and rescue, the incredible milestone of saving over 100,000 lives, and why sharing the Gospel is at the very core of their mission. The people on the ground doing this work are absolute heroes, and I am so excited to share their mission with you.</p><p></p><p>---------------</p><p></p><p>Connect with Doug Dworak:</p><p>Doug's phone: 402 440-4275</p><p>Website: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.lovejustice.ngo/">https://www.lovejustice.ngo/</a></p><p>LinkedIn: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/doug-dworak-52a6aa32/?skipRedirect=true">https://www.linkedin.com/in/doug-dworak-52a6aa32/</a></p><p></p><p>---------------</p><p></p><p>About Reanimated Stories: Hosted by Roger Jorns, I talk with awesome business leaders about their story and we explore how to reimagine work, life, and design.</p><p>Connect with Roger:</p><p>LinkedIn: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://linkedin.com/in/roger-jorns">linkedin.com/in/roger-jorns</a></p><p>Website: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://reanimationdesign.com">reanimationdesign.com</a></p><p>YouTube: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/@reanimationdesign">https://www.youtube.com/@reanimationdesign</a></p><p>Podcast: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://rss.com/podcasts/reanimated-stories/">https://rss.com/podcasts/reanimated-stories/</a></p><p></p><p>---------------</p><p></p><p>00:00 Intro</p><p>02:20 Meeting Doug</p><p>03:38 Doug's Background and Role</p><p>05:24 Love Justice International Origins</p><p>08:42 Discovering Human Trafficking</p><p>12:19 Transit Monitoring Strategy</p><p>16:31 Supporting Victims and Aftercare</p><p>18:06 Gospel Driven Mission</p><p>20:35 Heroes on the Ground</p><p>21:37 Prevention vs Rescue</p><p>26:23 Why International Focus</p><p>29:16 Get Involved</p><p>31:32 Outro</p>
