Evolving Through Empathy with Cory Rich

Fatherhood On Fire

Cory is the father of two boys through adoption. Knox, age 5, and Ames, age 2.

They struggled to conceive and began doing fertility treatment without success. This led them to accepting invitro. However, when they were on the drive home from the fertility they received a call from a nurse at the facility who told them they'd found an ulcer on his wife's uterus. And, while it's very treatable, it would delay their process another six months.

Cory is the co-founder of the new SaaS company Evolv Leadership Technologies.

Episode highlights:

-Instilling a sense of confidence in his boys to go after what they want. And the bed time routine that he uses.

Cory "Remember you can"

Knox "Be and do and have whatever I want"

Cory "Why?"

Knox "Because I am a Child of God"

-Be guided by your faith. There's no difference between faith and business. The activity's may be different. But our foundation and morals are the same. If I'm doing things in my business that aren't consistent with my faith then I'm not really living out my faith.

-Creating a culture of diversity in the work place and wanting to empower his employee's to identify and employ their own strengths has carried over into his fatherhood journey. He's taken what he's learned about empowering others in the workplace and is using it to harness his own helicopter parenting tendencies.

Fatherly Advice From Cory:

Put your family first. Be a fantastic husband, a fantastic father, and everything else in business will fall into place.
