Gathering around the Table: A Story of Purpose-Driven Change through Business

An inspirational public speaker, nature lover, inventor, entrepreneur, industry disrupter, and author, Kari Warberg Block was the first to educate the public on how to keep their homes pest- and poison-free without paying a hefty price, personally or environmentally. A fierce protector of our earth's pollinators, Kari works with nature, not against it. Once a farmer and now CEO of EarthKind, a manufacturer of naturally powerful and effective insect and rodent deterrents, she cultivated the fastest-growing household pest prevention brand and only pest control brand that considered the health and well-being of all stakeholders-including the pests. Kari is a former member of the NWBC, which advises the president, the US Small Business Administration, and the United States Congress on matters of impact and importance for women in business. On her personal blog One of a Kind Achievers, Kari shares insightful discoveries made along her entrepreneurial journey as the leader of EarthKind and her passion for serving others. Underneath her words, you'll find a soul that consciously cares for the well-being of the planet and all its inhabitants. Kari lives in North Carolina with her husband Jim and their rescue dog Benny on a little corner of the earth she is happy to call her own and share with the local wildlife.
