We go into the world to create, design, and build our lives, but are often haunted by a feeling that complete happiness is just around the corner. However, the next raise, the next promotion, or the next job never seems to bring those feelings of peace and fulfillment. Meanwhile, most people have been told to look for a home in a mortgage, a salary, and status. Building a home is an inside job. It is a feeling you build from the inside out, by learning to lead, to love, and to leave a legacy worth having. This idea is inspired by the over 15 years of my own life of trying it the default way and always feeling the carrot is just out of reach.
Ben Killoy
Speaker, The Business of Fatherhood
I grew up on a farm in Southern Wisconsin and joined the United States Marine Corps immediately after high school. I transitioned out of the military in 2007 and began the hardest battle of my life, trying to find my place as a Veteran, business owner, leader, and family man. I faced many struggles along his path including dropping out of college, losing a job, and starting a family. Through my journey to become a better dad and find my purpose, I found a passion for coaching others through life transitions and creating an intentional life that is worth living for my family.
