Episode about future planning with Ari Weinzweig hosted by Lisa Cypers Kamen on Harvesting Happiness

Future Planning: Growing Better Services and Businesses Through Visioning

Original Air Date Wednesday, June 17, 2020

When we live a holistic life rooted in our beliefs there is no need for work-life balance. And, when our work is as rejuvenating to our mind as a long, sought-after vacation, negative stressors are null. For some, it is possible to consider time a gift instead of a scarcity and to bask in the creative glow that is the positive human experience.

To find out more about how hope and thought are interwoven into the art that is everyday life, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host, Lisa Cypers Kamen sits down with Ari Weinzweig, the founding partner of Zingerman’s community of businesses.

Ari Weinzweig employs visioning to grow his extensive list of services and believes his work in life is to help others succeed.
