Impact Without Limits
Two guys. One truck. Two thousand miles. One big, audacious adventure. Why would two brothers leave comfortable jobs to move across the country, starting a business in a foreign industry and unknown land? Amidst all these challenges, could it be successful?Dale and Brian Karmie are the brothers, family men, and co-founders behind ForeverLawn: an exploding international business with over 80 dealers nationwide. Their journey wasn’t always easy; yet throughout persistent trials, tribulations, and turning points, they kept going. They may have quit individually, but they never quit on the same day. Join the Karmie brothers as they share the highs and lows, successes and failures, and life lessons shaping their entrepreneurial story. Regardless of who you are or what path you’re on, the Karmie brothers’ story is filled with something for everyone: encouragement to keep going, laughter over outrageous antics, inspiration to conquer complacency and keep reaching for more. Who is this podcast for? The aspiring entrepreneur. The young adult determining what direction to take in life. The worn-out, wearied parent. The restless and the seeking. Anyone who wants to breathe tomorrow. This is for you. Because you aren’t just put on this earth to make a living; you’re here to make an impact. Welcome to Impact Without Limits.
