Karen Hite / Co-Founder Hite International. Scale with Stability

Karen Hite knows what it looks like to win on paper and fall apart on the inside.As the COO of Committed Mastermind and co-founder of Hite Digital — a three-time Inc. 5000-ranked digital marketing agency she built alongside her husband from their home in Nicaragua — Karen has lived the full spectrum of the entrepreneurial journey. She has experienced the thrill of explosive growth, scaling to 27 franchise locations in under two years, and the crushing weight of the anxiety, depression, and personal disconnection that came with it.Now Karen is on a mission to help business owners do it differently. Through Committed Mastermind, events like Scale with Stability and The Commitment Summit, and a newly developed framework rooted in purpose, Karen equips entrepreneurs to grow their businesses without destroying the things that matter most.In this conversation with host Paul Povolni, Karen shares her origin story from Nicaragua to the US, walks through the four pillars of her Scale with Stability framework, challenges the hustle culture mentality, and opens up about one of the most important — and most neglected — questions in business: What is your gift, and are you actually using it?Links: http://scalewithstability.com/summitGift: http://gifts.scalewithstability.com/Send us Fan MailPaul Povolni (Voppa) is the founder of Voppa Creative and a creative leader with over 30 years of experience in brand strategy and design.
