<description>&lt;p&gt;We welcome Garrett Blood—a three-time entrepreneur, CEO and founder of Kajae, and a leader whose mission-driven approach left our whole team feeling deeply moved. This conversation is anything but typical. Garrett’s origin story begins in Orange County, where he went from limos and luxury to losing everything and starting over as a 12-year-old entrepreneur. His journey moves through business triumphs and setbacks, a breakthrough ice cream venture, and finally to Kajae, a staffing company built on the belief that opportunity – not talent – is unequally distributed across the globe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What unfolds is much more than business talk – it’s an exploration of resilience, leadership, human connection, and the power of putting people first. Garrett reveals how Kajae lifts individuals from poverty to middle class and why he refuses to compromise his values, even turning away clients who don’t align with his mission. The stories shared go far beyond the numbers, touching on transformation, gratitude, and the kind of impact that resonates at a human, not just organizational, level.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Get ready for vulnerable stories, laughs, and eye-opening moments as Shari Levitin, Brent Adamson, and Garrett Blood dive deep into what it really means to lead with purpose—showing us that better people make better salespeople, not the other way around. If you care about connection, culture, and authenticity, you won’t want to miss this conversation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;👤 Connect with Garrett Blood:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;✅ Website: &lt;u&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.kajae.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.kajae.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;✅ LinkedIn: &lt;u&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/garrettblood" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.linkedin.com/in/garrettblood&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;👤 Connect with Selling Isn’t Everything:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;✅ Official: &lt;a href="https://sellingisnteverything.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;https://SellingIsntEverything.com&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;✅ YouTube: &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/@SellingIsntEverything" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.youtube.com/@SellingIsntEverything&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;✅ LinkedIn (Shari): &lt;a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/sharilevitin/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.linkedin.com/in/sharilevitin&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;✅ LinkedIn (Brent): &lt;a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/brentadamson" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.linkedin.com/in/brentadamson&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;✅ Brent’s Latest Book, The Framemaking Sale: &lt;a href="https://www.theframemakingsale.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.theframemakingsale.com/&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Selling Isn’t Everything is produced by Chris Stone at Cast Ahead:&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="https://castahead.net" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;https://CastAhead.net&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
