Perseverance…no better person to hear about it from than Omaha KETV’s Channel 7 Sports Director, Andy Kendeigh. And leadership? Well, KETV has dominated the ratings in the Omaha, NE market for years and they couldn’t do that without a strong leadership team at the top; with Andy being one of those key figures.

 

After graduating college, Andy went two long years without a sportscasting job…yet, he stuck with it and never gave up, and he eventually found his way into an award-winning career, twice named Sportscaster of the Year in Nebraska and bringing home the coveted OSCA award given by the Omaha Sports Commission. Now that, my friends, is perseverance personified.

 

This episode is chalk full of leadership lessons, such as:

·     Lateral leadership and the importance of every person understanding they can have a leadership role in any organization

·     Taking constructive criticism and using that to make yourself better

·     Learning about the most important value he personifies in his job as Sports Director at KETV.

 

Andy has some intriguing stories from his broadcasting days, such as covering Dancing with the Stars. And what would this episode be without some talk around college and pro sports and his thoughts on some iconic broadcasters.

 

Please enjoy this episode of Leadership Lessons from Mayberry with Andy Kendeigh.

Jacob Malousek, owner and founder of Ark Financial, is a self-made businessperson. The term “grit” gets thrown around a lot, but Jacob has it. He was full of vim and vigor as a young man in his 20’s, so he decided to try his hand at business ownership, buying a struggling grocery store in a small-town community. What ensued was his first, and last, business failure. From there, Jacob took the lessons that he learned and went on to start a highly profitable and successful venture, accounting firm Ark Financial.

 

In this lesson, you’ll learn:

·     How failure provided him his greatest business lesson and what he did to learn from those missteps

·     Why it’s important to create a business that is not like all the others

·     What drove Jacob to try again, even after he failed

·     About Jacob’s surprise “business” discussion with his wife a few hours before they were married

There is no doubt that Jeff Carney has lived a full life. He played on a State Championship basketball team in high school, he landed a job as a photographer for the Associated Press, shot Husker football games in some of their biggest games and he even shot “The Miracle in Missouri”- the only photographer in the crowd that night to get that series of shots.

After years in leadership running the Digital Department at Berkshire Hathaway and Lee Enterprises (owners of the Omaha World Herald and Lincoln Journal Star), Jeff took an early retirement package and has started Carney Photography.

In his first year of operation, Carney Photography had already won awards for a stirring photo he took of Chimney Rock in Western Nebraska. Carney Photography specializes in visual storytelling -- whether photography, video, or drone aerials - Jeff believes it's one of the most effective ways of sharing a message with an editorial or commercial audience. What online news audiences have known for years is now transforming the world of marketing. Carney photography helps to tell that story.

In this episode, you'll learn:

How the Nebraska Cornhuskers inadvertently played a role in Jeff's career

Ways to lead through conflict

Why it's important to be out front and ahead of issues instead of reactive

What's most important when starting a business

My guest this week is one of the most genuinely funny people that I know and a massive success in the business world. Eric Sherman is one of the principal founders of Specialized Engineering Solutions (SES), an engineering consulting firm that specializes in the Healthcare Industry. SES is ranked in the top 25 in Healthcare Engineering, top five in outpatient facility engineering, and second in engineering for the VA medical system.

 

In 2005, Eric got the entrepreneurial bug and made the decision, along with another founder, to start Specialized Engineering Solutions. The company has grown from just six employees in 2005 to over 100 today. SES has offices in four states and a satellite presence in another six states.

 

Eric is an original and his love for what he does is evident in our conversation. Many lessons to be learned from this discussion, but Eric sheds light on:

·     SES’s unique approach to attaining sustained growth

·     How working in mechanical trades in 1994 made him a better engineer

·     The importance to communicating the “why” to his employees

·     Why SES views themselves as a service based company that performs engineering

 

Eric’s personality is infectious, and you’ll get a chance to hear it and see it up close on this episode of Leadership Lessons from Mayberry.

Not often do you get a chance to interview those that you idolize but I did just that when I got to sit down with Jill Thomas of Hurrdat Media.

 

Most likely you know her as the iconic co-host of “The Pat and JT Show” that ruled the airwaves on Sweet 98 for 17 years. Or her wildly successful podcast that she does today with Pat. 

 

But what you may not know is just how savvy of a business person she is. Jill began her entrepreneurial ventures in her early days of radio, first as a co-owner of a small radio station. That venture was followed up by other opportunities, including starting Parkville Media, a podcasting company, that she and her partner eventually sold to Hurrdat Media.

 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

·     How Jill’s perseverance paid off after enduring the cancellation of her morning show but turning that U-Turn into a robust career opportunity

·     The value of hard work as a child that propelled her success 

·     Why it’s important to have a community focused approach when owning a business

·     How being open to coaching and mentoring as a business owner is a must

I had the privilege to be joined by Caroline Westerhold, the cofounder and partner of Caswell, Panko and Westerhold, LLC. CPW Law is a workers compensation defense law firm in Lincoln, Nebraska founded in 2021. 

In this episode, you’ll learn about how job shadowing her father, a small-town dentist, and watching him conduct a tooth extraction paved the way for Caroline to take a second look into what career she wanted to pursue.

 

CPW Law is a firm owned by women, and Caroline talks about how that helps to bring a unique perspective to their practice and to their clients. 

 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How growing up in a small town helped form her work ethic, which she credits today as one of her greatest assets

• The importance of building a company on the premise of a People First Culture

• How CPW Law builds strong relationships with their clients

• The way a woman owned law firm was born
