Welcome to the first official episode of It’s 4 O’Clock Somewhere, the newly rebranded happy hour conversation with my friend Marc Shaffer. Same spirit. Earlier start time. Sunglasses still strongly encouraged.
In this kickoff episode, Marc and I talk about the move from It’s 5 O’Clock Somewhere to It’s 4 O’Clock Somewhere: Work, Life, and the Stories We Shouldn’t Tell, which feels right because, let’s be honest, happy hour starts earlier now.
From there, we cover a little bit of everything:
• Yankees vs. Royals and the joy of live baseball
• Why Marc loved downtown baseball in Pittsburgh
• Searcy Financial’s 50th anniversary celebration and strategic planning week
• The importance of health, sleep, physicals, and playing the long game
• What happens when new employees ask, “Why do we do it this way?”
• EOS, turnover, growth, and rethinking how teams evolve
• Marc’s financial advisor training in Pittsburgh around philanthropy, legacy, and family money conversations
• Justin Ricklefs’ “Give a Damn” event and why caring is still one of the most underrated leadership traits
• The future of
The Corporate Couch, including bringing past guests back for round two
It’s business, life, community, sports, and a little “did we just say that out loud?” energy.
Pull up a chair. It’s 4 o’clock somewhere.
