Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Clint Baggett. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Hi Clint, thanks for joining us today. Risking taking is a huge part of most people’s story but too often society overlooks those risks and only focuses on where you are today. Can you talk to us about a risk you’ve taken – it could be a big risk or a small one – but walk us through the backstory.

A few years ago, I made the decision to leave a stable, high-paying corporate role to step into the unknown and pursue work that aligned with my values and purpose. At the time, I was experiencing burnout and a deep sense of disconnection. I knew something had to change, even though it meant leaving behind financial security and the identity I had built around my career.

The Backstory:
I had worked my way up in the tech industry, leading teams and solving complex problems. On paper, everything looked great, but inside, I felt like I was drifting further from who I truly wanted to be. The decision to leave wasn’t easy—I wrestled with fear, doubt, and the possibility of failure. But deep down, I knew the biggest risk was staying where I was and losing sight of my purpose.

The Outcome:
Leaving the corporate world allowed me to reconnect with myself and build Evolving Mindsets, a community dedicated to mindfulness, leadership, and intentional growth. It hasn’t been without its challenges, but the risk paid off in ways I couldn’t have imagined. Today, I feel more aligned and fulfilled, and I’m grateful for the chance to help others navigate their own transitions and find their paths.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

Hi, I’m Clint Baggett, the founder of Evolving Mindsets, a platform dedicated to empowering individuals and leaders through mindfulness, intentional growth, and authentic connection. My journey into this work began with a long career in the tech and data center industries, where I held leadership roles at some of the biggest companies in the world. While I was successful professionally, I often felt disconnected from my purpose and struggled with burnout.

It was during this time that I began to explore mindfulness, meditation, and personal growth, attending retreats and diving into the works of transformational thinkers. These experiences reignited my sense of purpose and inspired me to create Evolving Mindsets, where I combine leadership development with mindfulness to help others navigate their own transitions and align with their goals.

What I’m Most Proud Of:
I’m most proud of the community we’re building. The Evolving Mindsets Community is a space free from the noise and fear-driven content so prevalent today, offering a refuge where people can focus on growth, connection, and self-discovery. Seeing members share their breakthroughs, projects, and growth has been one of the most rewarding parts of this journey.

Let’s explore what’s possible, together.

Any advice for managing a team?

Keep it as simple as possible, it is easier to build culture on simplicity. I prefer to choose three pillars for my team that align with three primary focuses for a successful culture – Quality, Fun, and Safety. You don’t have to use those three words, in fact I wouldn’t recommended it. What does quality mean to you and you team? Is it about time to deliver, customer satisfaction, productivity? You could use Service, Empowerment, and Mindfulness. It’s not the words that matter but the intention behind them. Have a team commitment to whatever represents quality outputs, then the next word is about how the team wants to enjoy the work they do, and the last word embodies how you’re going to create the space to get it done.

We’d love to hear your thoughts about selling platforms like Amazon/Etsy vs selling on your own site.

We chose to utilize Mighty Networks as a platform for many reasons. It is versatile, easy to access, and we can provide both free and paid offerings to our community. It gave us the freedom to create something that doesn’t pressure our community or overload them with spam. We are creating a space where you can just be amongst professional friends and family and get back to what living a good life is all about.
