B Local Series: Stepping into the Right Room with Nathan Stuck of B Local Georgia
Description
Have you ever found yourself in the right room at the right time, and it remarkably changed the course of your life? That's precisely what happens most days to our guest, Nathan Stuck. An unexpected invitation to the B Summit in Amsterdam shifted his career and led him to start championing the B Local movement in Georgia. From his vibrant upbringing across the United States to his philosophy of placing oneself in the right situations, Nathan’s story is a testament to the transformative power of serendipity and proactive engagement through networking.
Nathan’s journey has seen him ignite a spark in the B Local movement in Georgia, growing it from a modest group of eight into a robust community of 30. Learn how his collaborations with Twanna Harris injected fresh energy into the organization, and how an old boss played a critical role in the early stages. From tackling the tricky dynamics of board membership to the importance of a structured approach and delegation, you'll gain a rare insider's perspective into the evolution of B Local Georgia and the significance of B Corp certification in this process.
But don't think that Nathan's impact stops at community building; his knack for networking is truly awe-inspiring. Known for his omnipresence at events, Nathan shares his unique approach to creating significant connections and staying top of mind. Hear about his different experiences and his unyielding passion for connecting people. We wrap up our intriguing conversation by discussing the reimagination of capitalism and the power of fostering supportive relationships which all will be taking place at the B Corp Leadership Development Conference (BLD) in the Southeast in the fall of 2023. If you've ever wondered about the possibilities that come with stepping into the right room, this episode is your invitation.
