Feedback is one of the most important things that can help you team or business grow. However, it can be one of the most difficult things to give, and especially receive.

In this episode, BPN Team Members Jordan Utter, Alex Rodriguez, Katherine Thomas, and Lilly Foster take over the podcast to share what it means to build a “Culture Of Candor,” where feedback is given and received by all team members, no matter where they stand in the chain of command. In this culture, ego must be eliminated and the best idea always wins.

Their breakdown of this topic brings great insight into how we can maximize our growth as teams, leaders, and more.

It’s no secret. Prices for everything that we as consumers are buying these days have risen. Groceries, gas, and yes, even our supplements have seen price increases over the last year or two. Some blame the pandemic, some blame politicians, some blame greedy CEO’s and executives. What exactly is the real cause of these increases?

In this episode, BPN’s CRO, Katherine Thomas, and CFO Josh Holley, join Nick on the podcast to discuss the many factors at play that are causing the prices of consumable goods across all industries to increase. Kat and Josh bring years of experience to the table and are able to provide great insight to how this affects both us as consumers and BPN as a company, and how BPN is positioning itself to continue to raise the standard, bringing the highest quality product to the market, even during these uncertain times.

In this solo episode, Nick dives deep into what it means to truly be obsessed with reaching your goals. Often times, society places a negative connotation on the word “obsessed,” and it is labeled as unhealthy.

While this can be true, in reality, the only way you will reach ambitious goals in to be obsessed with them. They must occupy your thoughts and you should make most decisions in your life with them in mind.  Healthy obsession is momentum and passion at work.
