137 – The Salesmanship of Our Kids :: Dan Rogers

A Middle Tennessee Business Podcast…

College or no college? Sports or no sports? Let your kid find their self-awareness or carve a path for them?

Dan Rogers makes his 2nd time appearance on the podcast and the conversation was amazing as usual. It could have gone MUCH longer than it did!

As always, Dan and I talk about sales ideas but this time we meandered into how our kid’s life trajectories may play out. 

About Dan:

Former professional adventure tour guide turned into Pro Salesman. Family man with 3 kids, great wife and a super needy dog. Provider of both asked for and unsolicited feedback and & coaching as it relates to little league baseball, real life human interaction, accessing business capital and of course anything related to the idea of a Sales IQ. I’m headed to a career full of purpose and enjoyment where I can choose to work until I’m dead is what I want. 

Middle aged guy who can still run faster than 12 year little league baseball players and with penmanship that makes me the honorary Christmas card scribe. Just a normal guy in so many ways.

136 – Getting Nashville Tourists to the Zoo :: Jim Bartoo

A Middle Tennessee Business Podcast

I’ve known Jim Bartoo going back to my early days in Nashville radio. I have always known him to be at the helm of making sure our Nashville Zoo is marketed to the best ability and always be in a good light in the community. Nashvillians have come to embrace the Zoo since it’s opening at its current location in 1997. 

Jim’s biggest challenge is how to attract Nashville’s influx of tourists to the Zoo, all while certainly understanding the majority demographic being of the “woo girl” partier type.

I suggest something that downtown Nashville desperately needs….an RV resort on the Zoo property. 

We’ll see if that comes to fruition.

135 – The Challenges of a Tennessee Public School Band Director :: Ashley Harris

A Middle Tennessee Business Podcast

There’s no doubt that teaching is a passion-driven job. They don’t get into it for the money. In Ashley Harris’ case, she is driven by creating a life that purely fits who she is. Her desire to pour into our kids here in Spring Hill, Tennessee is off the charts!

For anyone who knows Ashely, it comes as no surprise that she was selected by her peers as the 22-23 Teacher of the Year for SSMS. 

Music runs in the family for Ashley as her husband Erick is also a Band Director at the adjacent high school. Plus he’s the spitting image of the late great Eddie Van Halen. 

From Ashley’s Facebook page:

“I’m a wife, mother, band director & entrepreneur. I love all things Disney and positive motivation.”

140 – How to Be Happy Everyday :: Jim Ryan

A Middle Tennessee Business Podcast…

Being happy can be a choice. Sometimes it’s a difficult choice, but a choice nonetheless. 

Jim Ryan is a motivational speaker and author who wrote, “Simple Happiness, 52 Easy Ways to Lighten Up”. I can attest that it really is a powerful read with some easily applied concepts, particularly since you can digest it over the course of a year! 52 ways break into 52 weeks quite nicely.

Jim’s ability to establish rapport immediately as well as his enthusiasm and genuine passion for the topic make for an engaging experience for every audience. His own sense of self and his genuine authenticity serve to open up the minds and hearts of his listeners. What further separates Jim from the crowd is his ability to relate to his audiences through his considerable musical talent. Jim is an accomplished guitarist and singer. His musical interludes serve to solidify the concepts presented.

139 – The Blue Collar Voice Guy :: Troy Holden

A Middle Tennessee Business Podcast

When I coach people who are getting into voiceover, one of the most common things I hear is, “I was always told I have a good voice.”  To which I answer, “I would bet Gilbert Gottfried never heard that. But he made it work quite well for himself.”

It’s not about the voice…it’s about the ham. 

Troy Holden spent most of his professional life as a Blue Collar dude working in the automotive manufacturing industry. But he was always a ham. Not only was his voice quite decent, but more importantly, he knew how to use it and he has the business acumen that fast-tracked his success. 

From Troy:

Blue collar has always meant “real people” to me… and that is all that I am.  I’ve worked in manufacturing most of my life until VO opened a door for me.  Wanting to deliver the “American Male Voice” with the Blue Collar spin made sense.”

Episode highlights:

15:01 How he got into impersonating people.

18:51 – Commercial auditions that are non-human.

22:00 – The power of physicality in performance.

32:01 – The microphone is your friend and your enemy.

52:57 – The sales game is a sales game.

132 – Reinventing Tennessee Public Education :: Dr. Grant Bell

A Middle Tennessee Business Podcast…

In 2013, I met Dr. Grant Bell just as he was beginning his current role as Principal of Springfield Middle School in Springfield, TN. The school he was inheriting had a myriad of issues mostly due to culture problems. A hopelessness felt amongst the faculty trickled down to the students who came from troubled home lives.

Then, Dr. Bell decided to call the students, “scholars”.

What transpired over the following years is something of a miracle. Small cultural shifts that Dr. Bell implemented had seismic effects. 

Springfield Middle School went from a place that parents fought for their kids to avoid to what is now the Innovation Academy of Robertson County. It is a grade 6-12 Magnet STEAM school that takes hundreds of applications for attendance every year. 

From Dr. Bell:

“I graduated from Springfield High School (TN), have an undergraduate degree from the University of Alabama, and three graduate degrees: Masters- Tennessee State University, Education Specialist- Austin Peay State University, and an Education Doctorate from Tennessee State University.  I served as a teacher for 11 years at Greenbrier Middle School, in Greenbrier , Tennessee, and served as assistant principal at Springfield Middle School for 2 years, and am currently in my 11th year as principal.  Our school has transitioned from a traditional middle school (6-8) to a 6-12 magnet school, the Innovation Academy of Robertson County.

I was blessed with wonderful parents, and grandparents.  My grandfather Bell was the principal of my current school from 1938-1959.  My grandfather Murphey was a tobacco and cow farmer.  I learned leadership lessons from both that guide decisions I make to this very day.”
