17Twenty

This week we have the honor of sitting down with Andy Wharton, vice president and general manager at Chamberlin Roofing & Waterproofing.  We talk supply chain issues, how Belton High School is an apparent hotbed for construction talent, growing up in the country, an entire professional career at Chamberlin, the value of communicating well, basketball, ice cream, family talk, tips from a pageant coach, and a breast cancer survivor story ... all on a winding conversational journey you have come to expect every Monday.

Thanks for listening this week and ... y'all keep moving mountains!

After a few weeks without a guest, the 17Twenty crew returns to the studio for an in-person recording with Terri Gaber, the Professional Development Manager at Hill & Wilkinson General Contractors.  As is the normal course, the conversation starts taking about who Terri is and the path to get to where she is now.  But in addition to all the wisdom nuggets from the journey, the conversation centers around training, development, workforce initiatives, TEXO's involvement in problem solving, and a bevy of ideas related to solving the workforce shortage that the construction industry faces.  As usual, you're going to love this episode and grab some nuggets.

Happy Halloween, Mountain Movers! 

Following a little homage to Michael Jackson's 1982 smash hit Thriller, Kevin and Stewart talk through the pros/cons of a "fake it 'til you make it" mentality, the line between faking it and working to change your identity, initiating and having crucial conservations,  and appreciating the seasons of life.

Hope you grab a few wisdom nuggets from this week.  And y'all keep moving mountains!

This week Kevin and Stewart sit down this week and recap the last couple shows with Kevin Butler and Eddie Penney, and then chat about Kevin's recent loop of faith, word, obedience, and action.  Our hope is that you can connect and be encouraged by a personal story about daily disciplines leading to intimacy with God.  And maybe there's a little wisdom nugget here that helps move the needle for you in an important part of your life.

Eddie Penney joins Kevin and Stewart in the studio this week for an amazing chat about ... everything.

Eddie spent 20 years in the U.S. military, first as a Marine and later as a Navy SEAL assigned to the Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU), better known as SEAL Team Six.  As you can imagine, stories abound over those 20 years and the guys talk through many of them, searching for the presence of God while paralleling some of the stories from his new book Unafraid, which is a real, vulnerable memoir revealing that each of us has a warrior within.

Leadership, family, faith, and work; growth in all these areas.  Eddie's story is right down the fairway for 17Twenty's purpose and mission to impact and grow listeners.  You're going to love this one.

This week Kevin Butler sits down in studio for a great conversation around growing up, construction, and a lot of basketball.  From Jackson, Mississippi to Arlington, Texas to Oakland, California and back to Texas where Kevin is now the President of Butler & Butler Construction, President of Butler Masonry, and Director of 3-D Sports.

The guys do a great job of finding great nuances through Kevin's story to lay in points about finding opportunities to grow, putting in work when the lights aren't on, finding and being a "glue guy" on your teams, among a million other nuggets.

... and for those curious (i) the song we were talking about wasn't an Outkast song; it was a Marc Ronson song called Uptown Funk, and (ii) Dennis Rodman was a part of the 2011 Basketball Hall of Fame.
