17Twenty

In our season three premiere, the crew sits down with head strength and conditioning coach at Georgia Tech, Lewis Caralla.

We have talked about Coach Lew many times, including an entire BYLR hour dedicated to the powerful impact that he is having on people, and the motivational mindset that  permeates his social media.  The conversation with Coach Lew is poignant and impactful, stretching from mentorship to motivation.

This week we sit down in-studio with Lauren Abeyta, founder & COO at Construction Discovery Experts.  As usual, the conversation winds around Lauren's story of growing up, the impact of sports in her life, ending up in Dallas, and the resulting journey to entrepreneurship.  Striking in today's episode is the conversational pace with Lauren which feathers in-and-out of humorous bits and very serious life experiences, resulting in quite a few "driveway moments" where you're going to be latched to the steering wheel listening to the dialogue.

This week the 17Twenty crew sits down with Heather Stokes to hear about and learn from her story of recovery.  A story of trauma, addiction, abuse, and incarceration is restored by the redeeming power of Christ.

As the story unfolds, you'll hear something this week that you usually don't hear ... just the story.  Very few questions.  Very few interruptions.  The story just told itself in a wonderful and redemptive way.

As we enter the holiday season, we hope that you find the story to be a resource for people you know who are in really difficult circumstances, an easy conversation starter among holiday gatherings, and a light to encourage those that need help that they are worth fighting for.

Today Kevin and Stewart sit down with Ollie Chandhok, Market President & Publisher for the Dallas Business Journal.  For those of you who know Ollie, you know him as a great connector of people and our conversation with Ollie was no different.  The guys talk through his story from growing up in Toronto, playing  golf on a college scholarship, selling nuts and bolts, and eventually landing with the Business Journal going from Charlotte to Dallas.

While the narrative is engaging, there are quite a few valuable wisdom nuggets sprinkled in along the way varying from a great customer service tip, the value of connections,  the need for authenticity, etc.

Kevin and Stewart sit down this week and talk about lessons learned from a recent trip to NYC for the World of Business Forum, and a few buzzwords that very hot right now, empathy and uncertainty.  The conversation centers around how these ideas around empathy are implemented  both internally and externally, and information management around these ideas to make sure that when the questions are asked the feedback doesn't hit the floor.  And then Kevin shares a four-step plan he learned while in NYC about addressing uncertainty and the fear that often time creeps in.

Kyle Kelly joins the guys at 17Twenty in studio this week.  If you're in the DFW construction market, you know Kyle as the nicest guy in the room.  But if you don't know Kyle, you'll learn about his journey from Boerne, to Texas A&M, a stint as the president of the student body, lessons learned from a season of door-to-door sales, and the eventual travels to Dallas to join the construction industry.  The guys spend a fair amount of time talking about Kyle's political action, involvement with the process, and encouragement to those in the industry to get involved.

This is just a super conversation with a super dude.  You're going to love getting to know more about Kyle, learning some lessons from his journey, and being encouraged to focus on the things that really matter.
