Building Stronger Families with Warren Rustand

This onsite Workshop will feature highly acclaimed entrepreneur and speaker Warren Rustand sharing his formula for Building Stronger Families.  This is the first time Warren will be offering this intimate program with EO.

Family is the overriding priority for this dad and granddad, who is a 2015 Father’s Day Council Tucson Father of the Year.

At the start of each year, Rustand blocks out family vacations, anniversaries and birthdays on his work calendar, so he does not miss a thing.

“I build my work commitments around my family commitments,” Rustand said. “With 32 of us, that is a lot of celebration. Those are the big things in life.”

Married more than 50 years, the Rustands are parents to Eric, William, Scott, Kenady, Brett, Garrett and Clark – six boys and one girl. They have 18 grandkids.

Two of the kids have built homes – and one is in the planning stages – on the same property as the Rustand place, on 58 acres with horses, goats, chickens and pigs on the northeast side of Tucson, where Warren and Carson have lived for 38 years.

“All of the children have been given the opportunity to build here one day,” Rustand said. “It’s been a fabulous place to raise a family.”

Rustand’s favorite moments, are at home, playing with the grandkids. Having experienced family difficulty in his own childhood, creating a happy family has been his top job.

“I never dreamed I could have such a happy family,” he said. “All of us want love and tenderness, and we can create that. It just takes work.”

In this intimate workshop, Warren will share his “special sauce” for building a stronger family.
