Today's guest is Geoffrey Hickman, Managing Principal at Econ/Info and former Executive Manager at Equifax.

Imagine putting so much pressure on yourself that you don't know when to stop. The work that you do is important and is helping people, industries, government, and the world.

The resources that your team provides offers roadmaps toward decisions that will either help or hurt the economic situation of millions. Mentally, you can't stop... but then your body and mind tell you to slow down and find balance.

Geoff Hickman shares his personal journey on success and dealing with stress. His vulnerability will enable others to self-reflect and use resources out there to help.

He is one of the most generous people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. His ego has been "checked" and his focus is on family, fun, learning, and sharing good thoughts to help people.

His story is one of TRIUMPH and support. From his prior company, their leadership, their culture, his friends, his family, and faith.

You need to meet this remarkable gentleman as he will find a way to enrich your life!

In this interview, my guest had shared that he "is not a school guy". He is however, an "exceptionally SMART guy", that gives and gives and gives.

Tim Winter, the Founder of Paradigm Homes, along with his wife Jen continue to "do for others", often what may appear to be beyond comprehension. To date, they've build over 60 homes for people that needed housing.

While his main business is building luxury custom homes in the United States, he is using his Pittsburgh grit and wholesome roots to help people in need.

He is a graduate of Penn State and launched his business when he was only 28 years old. He seeks to "get better" and improve ways of doing things, for his customers and his team.

Winter's passion for building, his established, transparent and proven processes, and his desire to go above and beyond for his clients form the core of Paradigm's values.

Please reference ParadigmHomes.com and ParadigmFoundation.org to learn more about the greatness that Tim and Jen Winter are doing for this world.

(He has also won "Professional Builder Magazine's 40 Under 40" and the "Leadership Center for Excellence 40 Under 40").

In an article featured in CEOTodayMagazine, they share thoughts on an an incredibly important trait for any leader;

Today's podcast guest, Suzanne Neufang is able to make decisions based on her vast personal experiences in other leadership roles. She uses the pieces of the puzzles (that she has solved before) for commonality to solve new problems with past, effective solutions. The common THREAD.

In my executive coaching sessions, I teach my clients to avoid the "doing distractors" when making decisions. Through FOCUS, PRIORITIZATION, and SELF-ACCOUNTABILITY decisions can be made swiftly and for the RIGHT REASONS.

Suzanne has learned to follow her values (the common thread) when making decisions that will benefit her team, her members, stakeholders, and even the environment.

Listen to this riveting conversation about how a person that grew up on a farm in North Dakota has risen to lead one of the most influential travel associations in the world!

She is a transformation-focused executive who has led product, service and organizational innovation through times of great change – “connecting dots” across geographies, functions, people, and results.

She's held leadership roles within the travel industry for the past 20 years, including at HRS, GetThere, Travelocity and Sabre. Before travel, she was a leader in tech and telecom industries at Intuit, Verizon, and GTE. She’s been an active volunteer in the travel industry, including serving as board president of the former Association of Corporate Travel Executives (ACTE).

Suzanne holds a masters degree from the University of Hawaii, and a bachelors degree from Minot State University in North Dakota. She and her husband, Ralf, live in New York City, and have two grown sons.

Fun fact: Suzanne has visited over 40 countries on her professional and personal travels.

A few months ago, I presented to Guest Supply and was simply shocked by the culture of kindness and empathy. I knew I needed to get their leader on our show to learn the "how and why" they are this way.

It’s no surprise that happy, satisfied employees are more engaged and productive. This naturally leads to better customer service and increased revenue outcomes. My last year leading a global sales team with Ritz-Carlton, we achieved a perfect 100% Employee Satisfaction Score that also aligned with the highest producing revenue year in the history of this team. It was not easy and it was not done by me. It was a collaborative effort by the entire team to discuss solutions to our challenges and how we could improve our interactions with each other. A brilliant group of people… (not including me!). Today, Most People Don’t is working with a group of clients that are dedicated to improving their culture in order to produce more effective and engaged team members.

Kevin, his senior leadership, and his company all believe in “treating people right” with respect, honesty, and openness.   Personally, he is responsible for the overall leadership and direction for the three collective business under Guest Worldwide, a Sysco company. This includes
