    Ivan Barratt: Be the Salt and Light
    2026/02/03

    How can you start your generosity journey now with the budget you currently have?

    In this episode, Jeff, Jeff, and Ivan discuss:

    • Learning from all work experiences.
    • Lessons from living upside down.
    • Navigating partnerships.
    • Starting your generosity path early - and bringing your family into your giving at all levels.

    Key Takeaways:

    • There is no need to go into debt to fund your lifestyle.
    • When working with others, the sum of the whole is greater than the individual parts. But recognize there will be challenges and debates, and see the blessings in each other’s strengths.
    • Give before you’re ready. Start small and increase incrementally, even if only 1% annually.
    • Sharpen your iron around those who are also doing great things around you. Build a community of strong individuals around you to raise and strengthen one another.

    "I would be an evangelist for peer groups, whether they are faith-based or not. Of course, faith-based is a plus, but getting around some like-minded individuals that are going through the same thing I am, and having a group that I can talk to and be vulnerable with, and then mirroring that with some sort of coaching or mentorship or advising. Those two aspects have been rocket fuel for my trajectory." — Ivan Barratt

Carl’s career in real estate started in 1989 after he graduated from West Virginia University with a Bachelor's in Science Business Administration with a focus on Marketing. He moved to Charlotte and began working for Ryan Homes in 1990. During his 7-year tenure with Ryan Homes, Carl consistently ranked in the top 1% companywide in sales. In 1997, Carl followed his dream to be an entrepreneur and founded the real estate firm, Panther Realty. There, he led a team of over 70 agents and quickly built Panther Realty into one of the most dominant Real Estate firms in the Charlotte MSA, before selling to ERA.Carl and his wife Amy, a veteran attorney, currently reside in Waxhaw, North Carolina, with their 3 daughters, Paisley, Paxton, and Payton. They enjoy sporting events, live music, and traveling to all their daughters’ events. In addition to the busy schedule, they remain very active in their church, and Carl is on the board of “A Better World,” an organization founded to uplift underserved youth in Charlotte. Program - A Better World was founded in 2001 by Pastor Ken Gilliard and Forest Hill Church, who identified the need for a positive, educational, after-school program in West Charlotte. When A Better World began, it served eight students two days a week. Thanks to the tireless work of Pastor Ken and his team, the program now serves approximately seventy students five days a week. The kids who stick with A Better World are, at the very least, guaranteed a positive experience and quite possibly one that will change their lives.Each day, our students receive a hot meal, homework support, and small group instruction from teachers who are committed to their well-being. Twice a week, students participate in group therapy sessions with licensed instructors and engage in literacy lessons via i-Ready, an evidence-based education tool. Every week, A Better World’s students partake in expansive extracurricular activities, and their parents gain access to our community pantry, where those in need receive a 7-day supply of groceries. Parents are also invited to attend our community workshops, where they learn how to best support their children’s success in the classroom and at home.
