About Bob Campana:

Robert “Bob” Campana is a California builder, landscape designer, real estate developer, restaurateur, and all-around serial entrepreneur. Born in San Francisco, he grew up in the Sierra Nevada foothills. At age twenty, he quit his job on a backwoods survey crew to travel the world, a journey that changed his life. Returning to California, he started a small business manufacturing and installing redwood hot tubs and eventually grew the company into one of the state’s premier swimming pool builders. He later launched and acquired several other successful ventures, including Modesto’s popular Redwood Café, which Yelp calls “one of America’s most romantic restaurants.” In 2022, he created Redwood Café Tours to develop luxury small-group adventures in Europe, Asia, and Oceania. An experienced helicopter and airplane pilot, he travels the world and celebrates life with his wife, Lynna.

In this episode, Kevin and Bob Campana discuss:

• Leading with humility and the responsibility that comes with influence
• How faith, purpose, and stewardship shape long-term leadership
• The role of mentors and community in personal and professional growth
• Building businesses that put people first
• Finding meaning beyond achievement and material success

Key Takeaways:

• Leadership begins with stewardship, not status. When leaders view their influence as something entrusted to them — not owned by them — they make decisions that elevate people, strengthen communities, and reflect deeper purpose.
• Humility forms the foundation of lasting leadership. Leaders who stay grounded, acknowledge their limitations, and give credit to others build trust that can withstand conflict, change, and growth.
• Success without significance leaves leaders empty. Achievements matter, but they become transformative only when connected to serving others, investing in people, and aligning work with personal values and faith.
• Mentorship and community aren’t optional — they are essential. Leaders grow when they listen, learn from others' experiences, and surround themselves with people who challenge and support their calling.

“So being able to craft and make positive experiences, not only for yourself but for others, makes your life fuller and richer.” – Bob Campana
