Once you have decided what your next passion after business is, the next step is bringing that passion to life.
In part two of the Passion Series, Tim Scannell and Stewart McMillan continue to describe the landscape of exiting a business and working toward your next big passion. They also highlight the importance of not doing everything by yourself, which is one of the lessons Stewart learned when working on his own vision — the MAAC foundation.
Stewart discusses:
- How to exit your business ‘into your best life’
- The process he went through in setting up the MAAC Foundation (team, capital structure, etc.)
- How Stewart manages the evolution of his family foundation and what resources he uses to manage growth
- The business model that Stewart says he has not seen anywhere else in the country and how it influences his business
- And more

About Our Guest:
Stewart McMillan has been in the fire industry since childhood. His earliest recollection is riding back to the fire station on the knee of a Chicago Lieutenant on Squad 2 when he was six years old. As Chief Clyde McMillan, Stewart’s father, grew the Gary Fire Task Force, Stewart was there weekend after weekend helping rebuild and maintain the menagerie of old fire apparatus that the Civil Defense Fire Department had managed to obtain. In 1968, at the age of 14, Stewart drove a 1947 International Pumper to a lumber yard fire, and connected it to the hydrant with a hard suction all by himself. From that point on, he was involved with the Gary Fire Task Force up through 1973.
Stewart is a member of the Valparaiso Rotary and The Greater Valparaiso Chamber of Commerce. He is also active in the World Presidents Organization, active member of the Ivy Tech Board of Trustees, MAAC Foundation and National Association of Manufacturers.
