Have you ever heard a story that completely shifted how you think about leadership and business?

That’s exactly what happened to me after this conversation.

In today’s episode, I’m talking with Scott Gates, the founder of Awake Window & Door Co. — a company that’s doing business in a way I’ve never seen before. They’re not just building luxury products; they’re building opportunity by hiring people who’ve been part of the justice system and giving them meaningful second chances.

What you’ll hear in this episode is more than a feel-good story. It’s a blueprint for what’s possible when leaders choose purpose over fear, people over profit, and humanity over hesitation.

We’ll talk about what happens when you lead differently, why redemption belongs in the workplace, and how giving someone a second chance might just change everything — for them and for you.

If you’re a purpose-driven entrepreneur or nonprofit leader, this is one of those episodes that stays with you. It’s powerful, it’s hopeful, and it just might redefine how you see leadership.
