Last week on On Purpose I sat down with David Grutman, one of the most influential names in global hospitality, who built a world-renowned empire from the ground up. I learned that David's philosophy comes down to one idea: if it's worth doing, it's worth caring about.

That's a strategy. 

People who care deeply are the ones who notice the details, show up consistently, and build relationships that actually last. Instead of brushing things off, David chose the opposite – turning mistakes, rejection, and feedback into fuel to sharpen his craft and raise his standards. That same drive is what pushes people to keep learning, keep growing, and keep showing up, whether you're building a business, learning a new skill, or working on a relationship.

If you've ever been told to “toughen up” or “stop caring so much”, this conversation is for you.

“If you care… there's no other choice but to take it personal. And it's part of my success.”
