This week, we launch our first episode of our “Ordinary Leaders Series”, featuring Kai. Loren met Kai on the ski slopes of Vancouver, and instantly had a connection with his incredible story.

Currently a regional director of a consulting construction management company, Kai lives out a normal career while living out his life in purposeful wandering. A significant portion of his life was spent in the Christian faith, specifically as a fundamental evangelical Christian, which he found to end up hollow, and this evolved into the journey into finding his own truth. What does life mean to him? How can you be a guide for others?

Kai then distilled down all of his various teachings to basically come up with a personal philosophy boiling down to a simple purpose – to enable the people he interacts with in a way which propels them forward into their lives.

“I want people to be in a better place in their life than they were before they met me. Where they can be true to themselves.”

Life is short, and Kai compares talking to people like dancing. When you have a new partner, you need to learn how to lead and follow, and remember that every person you’re dancing with is a little bit different. Everyone tells a different story and walks in their own truth. Anyone that challenges you, or anyone that asks questions is a great thing. All you’ve got to do is know.
