Friday Coffee Talks #67 - One of my favorite shows of all time is Saturday Night Live - improv is such a unique and fun element of comedy. Today's episode reviews what I love about this type of comedy and how it relates to selling more than you would think.

Friday Coffee Talks #66 - Parker has been begging to get his own episode so today is his day in the sun! Fun fact: he listens to FCT episodes as he goes to bed most nights so he has picked up quite a few of my sayings and mannerisms. I turned on the camera and let him go so topics range from soccer to unicorns to hiring. Please enjoy!

Friday Coffee Talks #65 - We spent last weekend at my sister's wedding and one of my cousins did something for Parker. It was small, but incredibly memorable and appreciated and I believe that's one of the things our world is missing most. People who are willing to do anything above and beyond to be kind are rare and that's why it creates such a special feeling when we're on the receiving end.

Friday Coffee Talks #64 - Did you know that it would be equally correct to call me Rev. Conner Volpe? That’s right! Your boy is an ordained minister with three weddings under his belt. I’m here at the Grove Park Inn in Asheville, NC where I’ll officiate my sister’s wedding tomorrow and make it four! It’s such a special thing to be a part of and I’m so honored to get to play this role.

Friday Coffee Talks #63 - This week's main topic is a book that one of our closest friends just released called The Power of Customer Experience by Elizabeth Dixon. The book is just fantastic and I talk about just one tiny thing she writes about that I absolutely love. Go buy a copy now on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09WQBH98R/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i1 I also got to reminisce about two great weekends with wonderful friends celebrating marriages.

Friday Coffee Talks #62 - I've spoken with quite a few of my influences but it was really fun to sit down with my biggest one: my Dad. I got my start in almost anything I can think of with my Dad. We got to talk about the early days of his business, how he has adapted his company over 32 years, and how even days cleaning the woodyard helped shape my career. There's even a story about when coffee did me wrong. Please enjoy!

Friday Coffee Talks #61 - Today's main topic is a concept of performance versus trust that was originally introduced in a video by Simon Sinek (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJdXjtSnZTI). Parker won a medal on his soccer team this weekend and it got me thinking about if it's more valuable to be a top performer or a top teammate. What are your thoughts?

Friday Coffee Talks #60 - Today's episode goes into the why behind me making this show. I have zero interest in becoming a sales guru, but I am looking to share my experiences and the things that have helped me over the years. For a good sales trainer, check out @The Brutal Truth Sales Podcast I've been a victim of impostor syndrome just like everyone else. I also run through a story about Parker hitting me with all the shame about not being an astronaut.

Friday Coffee Talks #59 - It's been a big, unexpected week for Braves fans with the departure of franchise icon, Freddie Freeman. It's been a great week personally and I review some of the activities I've been up to. One of the big ones was a discussion around how I approach sales that goes against the grain of what the "experts" say. Also, can we please stop saying anything resembling "no interest is a level of interest"?
