Daybreak

Jarrod and Mark talk about the return of regional shows, rebranding, and customer empathy with Hal Truax of Hall Technologies. Mark leaves the audience behind with an AZ pop quiz and Jarrod gets rejected yet again as he tries to recruit their guest for a move to central Canada.

Today Jarrod drives the Daybreak bus and even invited a guest, Jody Sagen of WBM.  Jody is the Director of Technology Experience & Enablement and he talks to us about his role in helping customers get the most out of technology and how a human approach may just be the unlock to increased adoption and productivity.

This week on Daybreak we talk to Mike Brown-Cestero of CAVLO.

With numbers down, the vaccine in distribution and things opening up, CAVLO is doing an in person regional trade show May 13th in Las Vegas.

We talk about the show with Mike and he drops more names than Mafia snitch under pressure from the FBI.

Check out the episode and also check out the upcoming show at www.cavlo.tech 

All of our businesses have one thing in common- our continued success hinges on professional development.  Tune in to hear Jarrod, Mark and Derrick Kelly talk about the challenges of developing employees.

Jarrod and Mark catch up after a couple week hiatus and talk about their businesses and lessons learned. Of course a couple books come up and serve as the basis for some extended conversation about how intuition and biases shape our decisions.

Books for this week-

Thinking, Fast and Slow

Predictably Irrational

Today on Daybreak – Jarrod takes a break to focus on Winnipeg, and I talk to Samuel Liberant, a leader in change management focusing on connecting people, technology and space.

We discuss the challenges of a hybrid workplace, the work of the future (the phrasing is important), and the human side of connection and productivity.

This is a MUST listen for anyone navigating a return to work strategy, designing spaces, or delivering technology.

Please connect with Samuel on Linked In here- https://www.linkedin.com/in/liberant/

And read about his recent workplace study on Arousal Fatigue and Executive Function here- https://www.consulting.nbbjsites.com/post/working-together-apart-here-is-one-way-to-work-more-effectively

As always, a few books were recommended as well-

Work Disrupted

Willpower Doesn’t Work

Decisive

Today on Daybreak, we talk to Patrick Whipkey about the value of buying groups, about overall market trends in different verticals, and about setting up a Celebrity DJ Death Match with our favorite namedropped fan.

Jarrod and Mark follow up on the last episode by discussing how to kick off the New Year and round out by talking about the best ways to call into new potential clients while creating the best chances for success.

Jarrod and Mark talk about the New Year and the opportunity to frame both individual and team goals for the year.

Mark and Jarrod take a write in suggestion from Christopher Neto to discuss this Fast Company article about helping employees craft their role into their calling.
