Uncovering Success

We've always been told that exotic cars are a waste of money and a bad investment. Well it seems to all be changing and my guest today is right in the middle of this booming industry. 

Hunter Shaw is an exotic car buyer and seller. He grew up in small town Ohio in Sugarcreek where he first fell in love with cars and bikes. HE got his first dirt bike in 3rd grade and hasn't stopped buying and selling since. 

His life as an insurance adjuster took him all over the country, expanding his mind to new ideas and ways of living. After finding home in Fort Lauderdale, Florida he turned his passion for exotic cars into a booming business.

After starting his career at JPMorgan, Darrin became extremely passionate about working with financial industry professionals and helping to grow their businesses. Darrin studied finance at Ohio University and currently lives in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Darrin runs a startup company in the financial sector that was founded by him and his best friend. 

His life advice on being okay leave the normal and how to go about it is exactly why I chose him for the show.

Does working many different jobs in a short period of time mean you aren't loyal or are going to struggle to find jobs?

Herb May is the new Director of Relations at eFuse. His love and passion for football led him through a terrific early career with the Baltimore Ravens, Ole Miss Rebels, and the National Football League.

He has shifted that passion and energy towards the new and exciting esports industry. With his business development and sales experience cultivating from his time in traditional sports, he has been able to bring together unique growth opportunities within the esports ecosystem.

He says, “I truly believe esports and gaming is the next generation of athletes and will be one of most profitable industries we have ever seen. I am thrilled to be a part of it and am committed to its growth.”

This week I decided to do things a little differently and not interview anyone, and let you all interview me. 

Loved getting a chance to talk about some of the things I am most passionate about. I talk about how to find a like minded community as well as sharing what my WHY in life is. With things from Servant Leadership to building a foundation in life that everything else gets built off of this was fun! 

Kevin has spent the past twenty years as a head basketball coach at the collegiate and high school levels, as well as being an athletic administrator. Sports have played an integral part in his life ever since he was young and it culminated with him playing collegiate basketball at nearby Walsh University and even as far as Germany, where he spent time as a professional basketball player. 

"I’ve met so many people, gone to so many different places, and have an infinite number of things I’ve taken away from the sport to make me who I am today. To say I’m grateful for all of that would be a massive understatement."

Whether on the court or off, Coach Ramsey, leads by example. Her commitment to excellence is shadowed only by her deep and abiding faith. Retired from a 35 year coaching career, 20 of which she served as head coach for the Ashland University Women’s Basketball Team, Sue is ready to share her expertise beyond the hardwood. She led the Ashland Eagles to a Division II National Title in 2013, which followed on the heels of being 2012 national runner-up. That same year Coach Ramsey was named the 2012 Conference, Regional and NCAA Division 2 National Coach of the Year and inducted into Miami University’s prestigious Cradle of Coaches.

Coach Ramsey’s holistic approach to coaching has led to other honors including the induction into the Athletes in Action “Hall of Faith” in 2013. She has also been recognized by receiving the Carol Eckman Award (2012) for demonstrating outstanding values and character, as well as the Kay Yow Heart of a Coach Award (2011).

Leadership. Being okay being alone. Staying humble. Learning from others. 

These are a few of the things I have picked up from others, during my time. Today I had the pleasure of being joined by a long time great friend of mine, Nick Ruebel, to help me dive into these and my journey. Nick was a manager and Video Coordinator at Ohio State when I was there and after went to be an Assistant at The University of North Alabama for two years. We have traveled to San Francisco, San Diego, Tampa Bay and Nashville together and hopefully some more stops down the road. 

A conversation you don't want to miss! 

Can SCIENCE and FAITH be on the same page? Jeremy Miller, President of Rosedale Bible College in Columbus helps answer this question that I feel like a lot of us have. It can be so easy to get caught up in the “my way or the highway” thinking and not be able to see similarities right in front of us. Jeremy's’ patient approach to life and people is evident in the way he lives his life! 

We also have a good discussion on the similarities and differences between running a church and a college, along with the different styles of leadership needed for each.
