In this bonus episode, we get to hear from the talented, David Gorsuch who is a very hands-on Dad and also a business leader helping many companies drive improved leadership and positive outcomes to their organizations.  David and I share the difficult experience of seeing one of our children experience a seizure which is something that will forever be in my mind.  David is in a "modern family' and has two children of his own and two step-children as well.  He grew up in Alaska and had two amazing parents who led by example and taught him so much about being the best father he could be.   David talks about giving each child uninterrupted 1:1 time and also remembering that life is short.  It's never too late to begin working on a relationship with your child to make sure you can make a positive impact.  As my wife reminds me, we have 18 summers with our kids to make a huge impact on their life.

In episode 33, you will hear my first ever in-person "live" episode with the CEO of Brighton Jones, Jon Jones.  This episode was so fun to record as we went off-script in a hurry and had a deep conversation about life, humility, vulnerability, and the impact of listening.  The time flew by and given how alike Jon and I are, we could've spent another 3 hours recording!  Kidding aside, Jon shares a lot of great wisdom for dads out there looking to be more involved with their kids and ways to also engage in great conversation.

Later in the episode, Jon and I would talk about the year-long sabbatical that he and his family took all over the world.  What an amazing experience!

Jon is a huge WSU Cougar and supports the University in many ways still to this day!  He is also on the board of Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA).

Thank you to Jed Collins for introducing me to Jack Thompson who is one of the all-time greatest football players at Washington State University.  As you will hear in this episode, Jack is a soft-spoken man with a huge heart and has the ability to articulate love, humility, and respect.  He shares many stories about his father who was as Jack describes, "A Man's Man!" 

We learn how Jack's family came to the United States and gain great insights into his childhood and how he and his wife raised their children.  He also provides a shoutout to Cole Morgan who is the CEO of Snap! Raise.

Today, I get to pay tribute to Coach, Teacher, Father, and Athletic Director, Marty Osborn.  For the last 30 years, Coach Osborn has impacted the lives of many young student-athletes and he has been one of the biggest mentors in my life.  Today, he shares his wisdom as a father and teacher.  You will hear laughs and some tears if you listen closely.  Thank you to Coach for everything you've done for me and so many others who you've impacted throughout your career.

In episode 30, I had the honor of interviewing one heck of a father and grandfather, Jon Lane.  Any parent's worst nightmare is hearing that an active shooter is at your child's school.  Not only did that happen to our next guest, but he was the hero on that February day when he faced the unthinkable.  Jon Lane is a hero. That simple.  Jon comes from a very athletic family and was a former collegiate wrestler, which ended up helping him on this frightful day.  He is happily married and has years of Dad wisdom that we will share today.

This next episode features the story from our 1st international guest as we are joined by Scotty Schindler.  He is the prime example of how hard work, commitment, focus, and being resilient can create success.  Luck doesn't just happen, but you create it for yourself!  We discuss what it was like for Scotty growing up, specifically without a father.  Additionally, we discuss how he and his wife worked hard to keep his kids grounded given the lifestyle he created for himself through many years of hard work in the business arena.  In a time where many kids are complacent and expect everything, Scotty and his wife taught core values and followed through consistently.  I hope that you enjoy this episode and please share it with others!

In this episode, I get the honor of speaking with Bobby Brown who is a talented lawyer and host of #BallHogSportsTalk which is quickly finding notoriety.  Bobby shares many great stories around his mother, his fraternity, his family, and Notre Dame Football where he was apart of a very controversial excessive celebration penalty during a pivotal game versus Michigan back in 2000. In this episode, we also hear about his relationship with Coach Lou Holtz and some of the recent remarks Coach made in the media that Bobby publically responded too - link here.

John Barrows is a seasoned sales executive with over 20+ years of business experience.  He works with sales organizations throughout the United States for some of the most prolific technology companies.  He is the best-selling author of “I want to be in Sales when I grow up”, which he wrote with her daughter.  What is amazing about this story is that all of his profits of this book go to fund his daughter’s favorite charity, The World Wild Life Fun https://www.worldwildlife.org/

In this episode, we learn about John the father.  We learn about the challenges of travel as a father and how that can impact a family.  We learn some creative ways that John and his wife are instilling some amazing life skills with his daughter that we all can use as great takeaways.  

One of my favorite quotes by John in the podcast interview is that “when sales are done right, it is the best profession”.  His wisdom in that quote spoke volumes to me as we all know what it feels like to work with a bad salesperson.  He is using that experience he learned to teach his daughter the power of entrepreneurship.  

Below are his 12 Guiding Principles to Success in Sales, Business, and Life. You can also click on the link to see the details of each in an ebook.
 
 1. Work smart and hard
 2. Always ask for feedback
 3. Set high but attainable goals and tell people about them
 4. Earn everything
 5. Be open and honest with everyone, especially yourself
 6. Don’t think you’re better than anyone else but know no one is better than you
 7. Confidence overcomes most shortcomings except an ego
 8. Find your passion or find something else to do
 9. What goes around comes around
 10. You can learn something new from everyone and every situation
 11. Make sure you can live with the ‘worst case’ scenario
 12. Get at least 1% better every day

This episode was recorded months ago prior to the very important and sensitive issues that are currently going on across America.  I wanted to share my thoughts as I would've definitely spoken with Coach about #BLM and also the impacts of COVID.

In today's episode, I had the honor of speaking with NFL Coach Greg Olson.  He also was a member of the CWU QB Fraternity and now is the Offensive Coordinator of the Oakland Raiders (Las Vegas Raiders).  He has been an offensive coordinator for five different National Football League (NFL) teams, the Detroit Lions from 2004 to 2005, the St. Louis Rams from 2006 to 2007, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 2008 to 2011, the Oakland Raiders from 2013 to 2014, and the Jacksonville Jaguars from 2015 to 2016. 

Coach credits Drew Brees for giving him his shot in the NFL as he coached Brees during his time at Purdue.  He also shares the challenges of being present as a father given the demands of an NFL job.

Coach Olson is a 1981 graduate of Richland High School. At Richland, he lettered in football, baseball, and wrestling. In football, he earned all-conference honors at quarterback and linebacker.

He played two seasons at Spokane Falls, earning all-conference quarterback honors in 1982, prior to transferring to Central Washington University in Ellensburg, Washington. He earned a BA degree from CWU in 1986 and an MS in physical education from Washington State in 1990.
