The below values were identified by Nick as the now five things we as an organization hold to the highest regard and infuse in everything we do. We hope you do too!
The following unique values are woven into the very DNA of Founders Live and they are what we look for in anyone who is part of the organization or leads in any capacity:
We encourage everyone to be their authentic selves, in everything they do. We believe anyone, from any city and country, with any color of skin and identifying with any gender and orientation deserves equal opportunity for entrepreneurial success. This means we expect inclusive behavior and respect of each individual's diverse backgrounds, unique beliefs, practices or anything else that makes them who they are. We do not tolerate anything less than respectful authenticity.
Where there’s a campfire there’s usually a creative story being told by someone who enjoys entertaining. Although Founders Live does not take place around a literal fire, as creators we embrace community, creativity, storytelling and entertainment just as much as our ancestors gathered around their favorite campfires.
Do GREAT things for people without expecting anything in return. Nick owes much of his success to those who came before him and graciously opened the door of opportunity. We encourage you to open doors for people, introduce them to someone they might not know but should, or offer free help or advice to move them forward. You never know where it will lead them - and you - and what it will bring back to you in return.
The world does not need another boring business event, but it does need a lot more fun! We believe you can have fun as well as a great business. Founders Live removes anything which creates awkwardness, boredom or dullness at our events and within our global community to create a fun, inspirational, and unforgettable atmosphere.
We commit to being a leader in operating global business in a climate conscious manner - including measuring and lessening our footprint - and encourage others to consider their impact on the climate as well.
