Scott Kriens: Modeling Leadership with Authentic Relationships

In today’s episode, Amy hops on the phone with Scott Kriens, a highly successful entrepreneur, the co-founder of 1440 Multiversity with his wife Joanie, and, we’re lucky to say, one of Fabriq’s investors.

After losing his father in 2004, Scott began to think long and hard about the question “What really matters?” At his core, Scott is a learner and a builder, committed to finding new ways to tie the world around us to that which is real and powerful within us. Moving beyond having more of suffering less, 1440 helps people and groups interested in finding their own unique connection to meaning, so they too can answer the question “What really matters?”

Listen on as we talk about how Scott and Amy first met barefoot in a muddy monsoon, what Scott thinks pathological collaboration is, how a blind date to Kenny Loggins led to 1440, and why being selfish is a good thing!

At the end of the day, what really matters in life is our relationship — with ourselves, with those we love, and with our community. Building meaningful connections begins with being authentic. Scott has been practicing what he preaches since developing his leadership skills as the former CEO of tech giant Juniper Networks and continues to learn and grow to this day, always doing the hard work of working on yourself.
