Why I do SageRock
Hi, I’m Sage Lewis the president of Sagerock.com. I wanted to spend a little bit of time just giving you a brief background about me and why I’m here, why I’m doing SageRock. Something you should know about me is that in a political persuasion I am liberal. I am very interested in humanitarian causes. I think that I have plenty of money, I’m not money grubbing, and I’m not even particularly interested in money. I don’t need the help of the government to save me more money. I think that there are some bigger causes in the world or our country that could use our help. That is the basis of how I act in business. I am trying to contribute to society. Having a marketing firm isn’t exactly the most socially heightened profession in the world. It does give me the opportunity to work with companies and organizations that are contributing in interesting valuable ways to society. That means a great deal to me. Even the Red Cross needs marketing. They need the money; they need to get the word out. I like to be able to help in that way. The other thing about business is that it is a great laboratory for life. You learn a tremendous amount about yourself and about other people. Those lessons you can’t really get anywhere else. Just being in business makes me a better person. I hope that it makes our team better people. We have one core value at SageRock, the care, concern, and respect of the individual is our single core value. We have a saying; SageRock is the oasis for the individual. I don’t feel that I am destined to make a particularly huge impact on the world. I don’t know how many people really can make a huge impact on the world. I think you make an impact on a few people in your life. That is what I am trying to do, I am trying to make an environment that adds value and meaning to our team. I’m trying to create a place that I would want to work at. So, that is what motivates me, which is the only reason I get up in the morning. I am hoping that I can do something that contributes to our team, which in turn adds value to our clients and community. That’s it. That is basically what we call the SageRock experience. I thought you might be interested in knowing that. Have a great day.
