465: How One Entrepreneur Is Bringing Clean Water to Millions (And What Every Leader Can Learn From It) - An interview with founder and president of Sawyer Products Kurt Avery

Kurt Avery didn't set out to solve the global water crisis.

He simply wanted to build great outdoor products.

But over time, the founder of Sawyer Products realized the same water filtration technology trusted by backpackers could also transform entire communities around the world.

Today, Sawyer partners with more than 140 nonprofits across 80 countries, helping provide clean water to millions of people while proving that business can truly be a force for good.

But here's what makes Kurt's story even more remarkable...

Sawyer spent 23 years becoming an "overnight success."

In this conversation, Kurt shares the mindset that kept him going, why he refuses to build "me-too" products, how faith shapes his leadership, and why every entrepreneur already has the ability to create meaningful impact.

Whether you're building a business, leading a team, or simply wondering how your work can make a bigger difference... this episode will encourage and challenge you.
