Million Dollar Flip Flops

In this episode, Rodric talks with friend and fellow coach Melissa Harris from Wyshbone Wellness. 

The two discuss how personal loss and major life changes can drive us to shift our values, redefine our goals and find deeper meaning in both life and business.

Melissa shares her journey from facing significant personal losses of her own including the death of her parents; to establishing Wyshbone Wellness, where she now helps others navigate their own transformative journeys. 

Her unique approach to coaching focuses on understanding core values and the holistic transformation that can come from working from pain toward purpose, in a way that is specific to each individual.

What You Will Hear In This Episode:

• How major life events can lead to profound shifts in perspective.
• Navigating grief can lead to a deeper understanding of oneself.
• The importance of identifying and living by YOUR core values - not someone else’s.
• How you can use physical movement to change your emotional state.

Quote:

"The pain becomes the gift. The dark becomes the light."

• Melissa Harris

In this episode of The Million Dollar Flip Flops Podcast, Rodric sits down with a fellow veteran of the construction industry, Ron Nussbaum. 

With a background working in the Marine Corps, and extensive construction experience, Ron already brings a lot to the table - but as CEO of BuilderComs, Ron is transforming the building industry with software that simplifies operations and gives builders - and everyone on the project - a dynamic, simple hub for communications, document storage and more. 

In their own ways, both Rodric and Ron are concerned with solving the same problem; one that costs the construction industry around $30B a year in disputes and creates so much friction for clients and businesses - miscommunication.

What You Will Learn In This Episode:

• 30% of construction projects end in disputes
• Most disputes are avoidable with better communication
• How a major ass-chewin’ gave Ron the idea for his software solution
• The lesson that led Ron to a major rebrand - and what it can teach you
• How being yourself and owning your niche can boost your business

Quotes:

“Miscommunication costs our industry $30B a year. On average if you’re a company with 100 or less employees it costs you $400K a year…so that’s how we got here and at the heart of it - I got tired of having my ass chewed.” - Ron Nussbaum
