In Roberts own words:

When I was 5 years old, I visited Radio Flyer for the first time and fell in love with this company and what it means to people. My grandpa, a poor Italian immigrant created the first wagon in his Chicago garage in 1917. Today, Radio Flyer is an iconic brand that holds a special place in people's hearts because it instantly transports them to a happy time — to the best parts of childhood. I work with a wonderful group of "FUNomenal Flyers" whose mission is to bring smiles to kids of all ages and create warm memories that last a lifetime. Company sales have grown by over 10X as a result of our focus on building a creative, committed & caring team. Radio Flyer has received numerous awards as a top workplace including 11 times on Fortune Magazine's Best Places to Work list. The product line has expanded beyond the famous Little Red Wagon to include tricycles, scooters, ride-ons, Tesla kids' vehicles, and our newest line-up of Flyer electric bikes & scooters for adults.

In Jason's own words:

In the summer of 1990, I was a rising high school sophomore playing football and baseball in Randolph, New Jersey. 1990 was economically challenging, and the recession was not kind to my family. My father lost his job (the only one he ever had since graduating college), and it was a tough time for the household.

At the time, I made a promise to myself: I would actively manage my career and each transition along the way. As a teenager, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. Yet, here I am 30+ years later and the subject of career management, business development and outplacement coaching is something that genuinely fulfills my core professional interests.

Join Jason and me as we explore one of my favorite topics - the importance of our professional relationships - and more importantly how we can nurture and maintain our networks. Jason's new book Relationships to Infinity: The Art and Science of Keeping In Touch is a practical resource I recommend to all.
