In this episode, Jeff Kikel sits down with Parker Harris, a professional mastermind facilitator and seasoned entrepreneur, to explore his unique journey from business guru to global traveler. Parker shares insights into his background, the evolution of his career, and the transformative experiences from a year-long adventure with his wife, covering 16 countries and over 20 cities.
About Zachary Parker Harris:
By the time he was 17 years old, Parker had started his first company, became a board member for multiple non-profits, and was also recruited by the President of the United States to speak at Leadership Conferences across the country. At 20 years old, he almost died in a car accident and made the choice to walk people out of his life that were taking advantage of him and start fresh. At 23, he landed his dream job working for a Fortune 100 technology company doing operations and strategy.
After getting to know the executives there and asking the advice they gave their children he realized he must choose a different path. He started a mastermind modeled after Benjamin Franklin that overtime became his business and mission. Today he leads Junto Global which has served thousands of entrepreneurs to connect with like-minded peers and build the relationships, health, and business they deeply desire.
