Which do you value more: your profits or your people?  

Although we don’t want to admit that profits take a lot of our attention, we must not forget the people behind our brand. Your team represents your brand to your customers.

Today we’re talking to Delise Crimmins, Chief Culture Officer of the Culture Think Tank. Delise has helped brands fortify, leverage, and shift their culture to ensure they are optimized for success. Don’t get me wrong, this episode isn’t about expecting hand-holding, kumbaya moments where everybody feels good about each other. Although that’s a byproduct of a great culture, at the end of the day it’s all about performance. Organizations that have strong cultures are the ones who outperform their competition.

Every brand has a culture. If you want to be successful, you need to know what your culture is and how to manage it so you can have positive outcomes for your team and your customers.

Want to learn more about brand culture? Great, let’s go!

Gratitude is the quality of being thankful or having a readiness to show appreciation and return kindness. But is your gratitude, or lack thereof, a reflection of your immediate situation?

Often, we allow our current circumstances to affect the measure and weight of our gratitude. It’s vital to keep in mind that if you’re feeling less than grateful, you should strive to look beyond what happened this morning or maybe even this week to find some gratitude.

Today, we share some tips to help you deliberately lean into gratitude, whether you’re feeling fine or a bit overwhelmed.

Ready to get into it? Great. Let’s do this!

Being an entrepreneur isn’t for everyone.  

Some entrepreneurs feel like hamsters running on a wheel—maximum effort with no progress. Others seem to have it all figured out. These are the people who are on their game. They have a positive attitude, great habits, and an amazing outlook.

What’s the difference? Mindset. Having the right mindset can affect what you feel and ultimately what you do. Your mindset can impact how you make sense of the world, and how you make sense of yourself. It’s a big deal.

Today, we’re jumping right into the importance of mindset with Chuck Goetschel. Chuck is a former Olympic athlete, career entrepreneur, and founder of Rallio. He is a well-regarded leadership mentor, incredible speaker, and he’s a great friend.

If you want to learn how important mindset is to your business and your overall well-being, you can’t miss this episode.

The situation we’re in has many people feeling disheartened. What about you? Where do you stand?  

We’re more than six months into the pandemic, and people are really feeling it. It’s easy to throw up your hands and call it quits or continue to try to drive your business from a position of fear, but now is not the time to throw in the towel. It’s time to pick yourself up, reset, and then reengage—your customers need you.

Everyone is searching for some semblance of normalcy, but they are operating from a fear perspective. People are wondering where their job stands or what bills are on the way. As people become even more cognizant of how they spend their money, they are investing in the brands they know and trust to provide a bit of comfort or remind them of “the good not-so-old days.” Are you and your products providing that sense of comfort for them?

What about you and your team? Do you see this time as a burden or are you viewing this through the lens of opportunity? Are you operating from a standpoint of hope or fear?

I’ll talk about it in today’s episode. Join me as I share some of my thoughts on how to operate from a hope versus a fear mindset.

Ready to go? Great. Let’s do it!

As a business leader, it’s really easy to get caught up in the financials. 

When that happens, sometimes we can forget the main reason we went into business. What was the reason we started this venture in the first place? You begin to question everything, and that can be a dangerous slope. You’ve got to get a handle on why your business exists. Because when you lose focus on the why of your business, it’s tough to manage the what of your business. 

Today we’re talking with Kris Wittenberg, founder of Be Good to People, also affectionately known as The Original Kindness Company. Be Good to People believes in conscious capitalism—a belief that business can play an essential role in making the world a better place through commerce. 

Let’s get this chat going!

When you consider manufacturing, some have robotic innovation, while others don’t. 

When you think about industries like meatpacking, many of their teams work on the floor in relatively close quarters daily. Companies that have been around for years were designed for efficient throughput. It would be challenging to retrofit them for a circumstance like we’ve had this year.

How do companies deal with the unexpected?

Today, we’re sitting down with Dr. Molly McAdams to hear some of her thoughts on the supply chain and how industries like meatpacking are dealing with challenges they have never imagined.

Molly McAdams has a Ph.D. in meat science. Her experience has helped huge brands like H.E.B. move millions of dollars of product. She has a wealth of experience and is a great storyteller.

What is it like to work with companies larger than yourself? 

It’s a dream for many entrepreneurs to partner with Target, Walmart, or H-E-B and have their products placed in these stores. Placing your products in physical big-box stores can help in several ways—you can create a seamless shopping experience for your customers, test new product lines, and even build or add prestige to your brand awareness.

Today, we’re chatting with Molly McAdams, Ph.D., to find out what she looks at when consulting with people who want to work with the big guys. We’ve had Molly on several times, and it’s always a great time. She is a tremendous storyteller with a wealth of experience that she is happy to share with us.
