Fritz Grupe
About this listen
What is success? Is it available to everyone? Does it come at a cost? These are just some of the questions Fritz Grupe explores as he reflects on his journey to becoming a nationally recognized leader in real estate development, a California farmer, and a member of the US Equestrian Team.
In Enjoy the Ride, he shows how the same principles that form the basis for personal happiness - having a strong faith, a commitment to health, and rich relationships with family, friends, and business partners - create the foundation for professional success and build resilience in the face of failure.
Through engaging anecdotes - ranging from his first business selling eggs at nine years old, to developing his first master-planned community at the age of 28, to competing at the Equestrian World Games at the age of 68, and much more - Grupe shows that true satisfaction lies in achieving not achievement and shares his guidance for those looking to reach their goals - and enjoy the ride along the way.

If lately you have felt stuck, felt trapped, and have been questioning if this is all there is, your unrest is not uncommon. Frankly, it's your subconscious self (your soul) raising its hand to get your attention. There is so much more to life than trading a majority of your daylight hours for a paycheck, regardless of the amount. You may be fed up with saying, "Sorry, we can't afford it," to your spouse, or, "Sorry, I can't be on your field trip," to your child, or "Next time..." to your friends. It's high time you live your best life the way you design it.

Goals like being great at what they do, creating a great place to work, providing great customer service, making great contributions to their communities, and finding great ways to lead their lives. In Small Giants, veteran journalist Bo Burlingham takes us deep inside 14 such remarkable companies.
