Sixcess Stories

Our journey started with a crazy idea as a newly married couple: Let's sell everything we own that doesn't fit into our two cars, move across the country during the middle of a global pandemic to a city where we don't know anyone and use our life savings to purchase a business where the business is knowing people... If being in the community building business has taught us anything, it's that the relationships and connections we make along the way aren't just a byproduct of success, they are the success. Sixcess Stories, hosted by Kristina Gent and Eric Ozarowski, is a collection of real, honest conversations with the incredible members of the SIX° Community about leadership, intentionality and the positive impact of developing deep, meaningful relationships in business and in life. At SIX° Connections, we believe that conscious, caring leaders are a catalyst for connecting humanity. If success is traditionally defined as the attainment of fame, wealth, or social status, then "sixcess" is something entirely different — it's measured by the depth and quality of relationships in our lives that make everything else possible. Wherever you are on your own journey with success, we hope these conversations challenge how you think about the importance of developing meaningful relationships and inspire you to connect more intentionally. Lead on Purpose. Connect with Intention. New episodes drop weekly on Tuesdays. Your next breakthrough is just one connection away. Sixcess Stories is produced by SIX° Connections, a purpose and values-driven business community dedicated to fostering deep, meaningful relationships among passionate professionals.

  Saying Goodbye to a Best Friend | EP 67

  Sep 1, 202658 min

  In this week’s episode of Sixcess Stories, Kristina and Eric took some time to reflect and process the loss of their sweet pup, Sofie. They talk about lessons she taught them, fond memories of her and the importance of presence with our loved ones. Please note that this could be a challenging listen as it was certainly a challenging conversation to have. Sofie was a lab/shepherd/husky mix born in Manhattan, KS. She got to experience being a city dog in Chicago and lived the country life in southern Oregon before settling down for retirement in San Diego. She loved the water, all things food related (especially cucumbers) and chin scratches when she was in the mood for them. She gave us 14 incredible years of pure love and joy.
