Many business leaders seek out peer groups for growth opportunities, but stay because of the leadership clarity and alignment they gain. The ability to access trusted voices outside your immediate team can unlock new thinking and sharpen strategy, especially in high-stakes environments.

Pat Smith, CEO at Serve Denton, joined Purpose Factory to connect with others who shared his values and long-term vision. What he found was a space that pushed him beyond his usual decision-making patterns. He was challenged to reframe ideas and explore new directions for organizational impact and revenue generation through mentorship and collaborative sessions.

He found particular value in the group’s structured approach to problem-solving, beginning with thoughtful questions and followed by practical, experience-based suggestions. It wasn’t just talk; it was targeted, actionable guidance. Pat also highlighted how meaningful it was to gather in person each month with others who shared not only professional goals but core values.

For him, Purpose Factory became a vital space for growth, not just in ideas, but in leadership clarity and advancing the mission of his organization.

Purpose Factory is for people who are very intentional or purpose It's got a very strong purpose in terms of bringing business people of faith together. Practice what Proverbs says, iron sharpens iron. The mentor has been a great challenger for me of taking things that I'm doing and saying, hey. What what about doing it this way? And I need that. I need someone outside of me and my staff to really plant some seeds and then help me turn those seeds into new sources of revenue or new programs or new initiatives that help the organization grow. What was better than I expected was just the structured problem solving. The level of input on that, the question process first followed by some ideas, it's better than any other group I've been a part of. I'm starting to meet with these men and women outside. They're coming to me for some of my experience and expertise. And at the same time, I'm able to, get their help and take you through things, especially this day and age when we're so fragmented. People are working from home. You don't get those opportunities to get together for for a solid day once a month and to be in a room of like minded folks who pray together, believe together, and work together.
