If you have listened to the Park Leaders Show for awhile, you know Jack Hartt was a mentor of mine while I was a park ranger. It was my conversations with Jack early in my career which led me to believe that you would enjoy hearing similar conversations with leaders from all over the country.
Talking with people from parks is important, but if we are really going to change the landscape of leadership in parks and recreation, we need to step outside of parks too. In this episode, we reach outside the world of parks again and talk with Ray Edwards. Not only is Ray a successful entrepreneur, but he is also a strong supporter of parks.
Just like Jack Hartt taught me so much about the business of parks, Ray Edwards has taught me about the business of business. I am so much better at what I do because of Ray Edwards.
Ray explains what park systems, individual parks, or park employees can do to foster an entrepreneurial spirit.
Ray is the host of The Ray Edwards Show and author of Writing Riches.
Ray recommends Work the System by Sam Carpenter to learn more about implementing systems.
