Sum and Substance is coming to Phoenix

TEMPE, Ariz. - April 20, 2016 - PRLog -- Have you found fulfillment and purpose in your work?

On April 28, join Conscious Company Magazine as they present Sum and Substance Phoenix, hosted byConscious Capitalism® Arizona and Thrive Consulting. The event will bring together six diverse business leaders in an evening of enlightenment, motivation and mingling to share their personal stories and inspire others to go forth and do good work.

"Across the country, people are unleashing their passion, creativity, and entrepreneurialism in their jobs and companies to make work meaningful," said Maren Keeley, Co-Founder of Conscious Company Magazine.

Sum and Substance Phoenix will showcase six people who will share their personal journey to find fulfilling work and each will leave the audience with a unique challenge. These challenges will spark new ideas, partnerships and opportunities.

"Stories affect us in a way that statistics cannot.  The data show us that purpose and meaning matter most. We're after the stories of the people who prove it," said Meghan French Dunbar, Co-Founder Conscious Company Magazine.

Rather than sitting in a conference room watching an endless presentation of power point slides, Sum and Substance sets the stage for an intimate evening of real stories, told by real people. Phoenix attendees can look forward to hearing stories from:

Adam Goodman, President of Goodmans Interior Structures

Brian Mueller, President & CEO of Grand Canyon University

Heidi Jannenga, President & Co-Founder of WebPT

Kimber Lanning, Executive Director of Local First Arizona

Laura Roberts, CEO of Pantheon Enterprises

Nilima Bhat, Co-author of Shakti Leadership and Founder-Director of Sampurnah

"Sum and Substance is a call to action. We will spend half of our waking adult lives at work and if that time is not being spent working on something that matters to us, we have to make a change,"  said Nathan Havey, Thrive Consulting Group CEO.

Conscious Capitalism Arizona has partnered with Thrive Consulting and Conscious Company Magazine to bring the Sum and Substance event to Phoenix to cast an interactive and engaging light on the positive impact employee engagement and purpose-driven businesses can have on the local, national and global economy.

"Conscious Company Magazine is a publication that has to exist!  The founders, Meghan and Maren are rock stars in the world of sustainable business and we are incredibly excited that they will be with us in Phoenix as part of the Sum and Substance event.  The issue of employee engagement is a national and global crisis - Conscious Company Magazine and Sum and Substance are an incredible force for good as we collaborate to solve this problem," said Scott McIntosh, Founder of Conscious Capitalism Arizona.
