The Greatness Garage Episode 163 - Kim Sawyer
Episode 163
Wednesday, 28 January, 2026
In this episode of The Greatness Garage, host Brad Borkhuis welcomes longtime coach, entrepreneur, and thought partner Kim Sawyer for a deep, reflective conversation on growth, purpose, and redefining wealth. Kim shares his unconventional journey—from a decade of adventure, to military service, to entrepreneurship, and ultimately to becoming one of the early pioneers of professional coaching. With decades of experience, he reflects on how every chapter of life prepared him for the next, challenging the idea of regret and the familiar "I wish I would have" mindset. Instead, Kim introduces a powerful reframe: everything that happened brought us here, and the real question is, "What's next?" The conversation explores comfort, fear, and timing in business decisions, highlighting how clarity is often the result of action—not a prerequisite. Kim offers practical wisdom for entrepreneurs and leaders who feel stuck, emphasizing the value of community, exploration without drastic leaps, and learning by engaging rather than waiting for certainty. One of the most compelling moments comes when Kim shares a personal surprise: becoming a father at 67. He explains how parenthood profoundly transformed not only his life, but also how he shows up as a coach and leader—deepening empathy, patience, and intentionality. This experience directly feeds into his signature framework, Walk on Wealthier (WOW), which treats life as a portfolio of investments across career, family, health, relationships, and purpose. Throughout the episode, Kim unpacks his philosophy of wealth—not just as money, but as value created across all areas of life. He introduces the idea of consciously investing time, attention, energy, money, and intention into what matters most, asking a powerful question: Are you investing your life where the return truly matters to you? The episode closes with a grounding perspective on aligned living, responsibility, and acceptance, anchored by Kim's guiding principle: "Bring good to it. See good in it. Make good of it. Become good from it." This episode is a must-listen for entrepreneurs, executives, and anyone navigating transitions—especially those wondering how to build a life that's as successful, fulfilling, and intentional as their business.
