E37: Barbara Butler: How to Build a Business with Impact The Aligned Love Podcast

    • Self-Improvement

Barbara Butler is the founder and CEO of Barbara Butler Artist-Builder Inc. She has
been designing and building extraordinary custom tree houses and play structures
for children for over 30 years, both residential and commercial, within the United
States and internationally. Her mom wanted her to be a lawyer, but she loved
working with her hands. School breaks were spent working for her brothers
learning bricklaying and construction. After graduate school, she gave up on the
idea of getting a real job and moved to San Francisco to be an artist. She started
painting, then building decks, then landed her first play structure job working for
Bobby McFerrin (“Don’t Worry/Be Happy”). And that was it! Her passion! That
was 30 years ago, and she is still loving it, and still a kid at heart!


In this episode, Barbara speaks to:
-How she built a business with impact that she loves
-Why loving what you do is essential to your happiness
- What to do if you feel called to follow your dreams
- Her self care non-negotiables to stay balanced
