About this episode

Dale and Brian Karmie share their journey of finding purpose through their work in the artificial-turf business, highlighting their challenges and faith.

Finding the Greener Grass of Purpose: Dale and Brian Karmie Brothers Dale and Brian Karmie longed to do work that gave them purpose and offered the same opportunity to others. They found both blessings in the artificial-turf business. They launched ForeverLawn, the industry's synthetic grass leader, in 2004. As they discuss this week, the journey was not without its crucibles — including the devastation of Dale losing his daughter — but they have kept moving forward, anchored to their faith, and continue to inspire others to create impact and purpose of their own, whatever industry, season, or adventure they may find themselves in.
