The Big Fat Podcast

We were honored to sit down and talk with Kelli Maxwell of Ember Marketing Group and we discussed the new chapter in her podcast career and learn where her social media efforts will be focused in 2022! (Huge apology to Kelli and you the listener, Milo made some new guy mistakes with the audio in this recording and the quality is far from where it should be. Turn up your volume and listen in because there are a lot of great nuggets on podcasting and social media advice to glean from this one!) 

Chuck Young AKA "The Destroyer" is a professional arm wrestler and businessman out of Laurel Montana! He shares his fascinating story of how he  entered into the world of professional arm wrestling by challenging everyone and offering to bet $20k on himself!

Milo and Cody tryout the new Big Fat Studio! They recap last Saturday’s chaotic burger day at the Big Fat Lunchbox, talk B.F.L. Chipotle Sauce, and   we find out that Cody is a bonafide Montana Horseman!

Cody and I in this episode talk a bit about our kids, what they're doing in their lives, and what parts we played as parents in helping them with their big life decisions. 

Similar to Episode #4, "Give Them the Pickle", we take up our time discussing customer service and the famous saying "The Customer is Always Right". We expand on how to trust/deal with not only customers that try to take advantage of businesses but also employees

In this episode, we discuss the Covid Pandemic. Primarily the issues it caused within the restaurant industry, and we talk about how we dealt with those issues among other things.

Cody and I discuss his recent trip to Mexico and how he won the trip in the first place, and compare his all-inclusive resort experience against my sub-zero Montana ski resort debacle. We discover that not all big corporations have everything figured out, especially in the customer service department. The lessons we take away from this discussion are one, don't loan them a shovel, and two, give them the pickle. 

This episode is called "The Lost Podcast" because our Audio Guy lost the SD Card with the original recording, leaving us with just the cell phone audio. Oops! It doesn't sound great, but it is super interesting. Cody asks me why I moved to Montana in the first place and what lead up to me creating the Big Fat Lunchbox. 

Cody McNiven Has a Masters Degree in Student Development and Higher Education. He has Undergraduate Degrees in Business Management and Education. Cody manages our local Madison River Propane dealership and regularly stops by our Big Fat Lunchbox to render impeccable service, maybe grabs a breakfast burrito, and is always up for deep conversation. In this episode we talk the merits of higher education and I ask him if College is becoming less relevant in todays world.
