Ep 158 – It’s the Long Game, Dummy :: David Crabtree

A Middle Tennessee Business Podcast…

David Crabtree was nervous about being a guest on his first podcast. I think that’s what makes him an appealing guest. David has had a few seasons in his life as a Psychology and History High School Teacher, then he found himself as an Insurance Account Representative. He ultimately became a stellar relationship-focused driver of new business for his company before stepping out on his own with Crabtree Benefits. He’s been at the helm of his own business for a while now and wouldn’t have it any other way.  

About David and Crabtree Benefits:

Crabtree benefits is an esteemed benfits and human resources consulting firm lead by David Crabtree. With over a decade of experience in benefits management, David and his team help lead your organization to retaining top talent at lower costs.

157 – De-Commoditize with a Personal Brand :: Chris Hammond

A Middle Tennessee Business Podcast…

I have always been fascinated by people who can read business financials like they’re a comic book. Chris Hammond has been in that fraternity all of his professional career (since 1995) and he’s recently taken his knowledge to the Business Brokering World. While he’s a whiz at digesting balance sheets, income statements and schooling me on the concept of EBITDA, his new role requires more of a personal branding touch. He can totally do it, particularly since he can give tremendous value for those of us who would like to know the valuation of our businesses better…especially if we think they’re worth more than what reality says. 

Episode highlights:

14:06 – Running the numbers on your business.

30:44 – Is there such a thing as passive income?

33:21 – How to bet on yourself to succeed.

39:47 – What have you been reading?

42:16 – How linkedin can help business owners.

156 – Embracing the Remote Working Lifestyle :: Matt Lloyd

A Middle Tennessee Business Podcast…

I have known Matt since 2015 and I’ve always felt that he was going to be a longtime friend since then. We’ve worked together in the past and recently he’s become another cherished client of ours with ItsYourShow.co and Matt’s new podcast, The Wandering Worker.

Check it out here: www.thewanderingworkerpodcast.com

Matt and his business partners Holly Lloyd (yes, his wife) and Jeremy Apple embarked on their entrepreneurial journey in 2008 full of optimism and hope…..then the financial meltdown happened. 

Here they are 15 years later going stronger than ever. They even had to break their business 5 years ago when their ecosystem drastically changed and a sudden pivot was in order….otherwise….well, you get it.

If there is anyone who can get on a stage and have the clout of a well-seasoned and battle-scarred business owner, it’s Matt and his team. 

Episode highlights:

6:24 – Sticking with it and beating the odds.

14:16 – Remote work and working from home.

17:00 – The importance of having a scorecard.

32:56 – How do you differentiate yourself from the competition?

39:37 – The importance of consistency in onboarding.

48:51 – The problem with leaving a bad review.

56:15 – The cockroach method of selling cable subscriptions.

155 – The conundrum of being true to yourself :: Regie Hamm

A Middle Tennessee Business Podcast…

Whenever I talk about Pendulum, the notion of voices in the wilderness who begin to shape the next cultural attitude comes up from time to time. 

I think Regie Hamm is one of those voices. 

Regie and I met in 2008 when he just wrote the smash hit single for the newly anointed winner of American Idol, David Cooke. His story around that song was something I still feel honored to have been able to help tell: https://youtu.be/q1CmSreKoFM?feature=shared

Regie is also one of the most brutally honest people who has worked and still works in and around the music business. Got a question that people typically dance around the answer? Regie will shoot you straight!

Episode highlights:

6:00 – People under 30 don’t know much about music.

9:40 – The value of being on a show.

17:15 – The power of the customer and showing up to work. 

33:52 – The power structure and Trump.

44:11 – The dark side of Hollywood.

51:18 – The conundrum of being true to yourself.

1:01:50 – Who listens to the radio?

1:05:26 – What song will be relevant in 10 years from now?

154 – From Spider-Man to Real Estate :: Isaiah Brooks, a.k.a. Spring Hill Spider-Man

A Middle Tennessee Business Podcast…

It all started with a notion of “what if I bought a Spider-man costume and began showing up in random places around Spring Hill, TN?”

Isaiah Brooks certainly didn’t anticipate the community rallying around him the way they have done so since he began showing up around town as the webbed-wonder.

Going deeper with Isaiah though, this is a young man on a mission. If his course remains steady, he’ll be quite the Real Estate Investor when he’s 30. 

  

Episode highlights:

5:11 – How did it all begin for Isiah.

9:01 – Gymnastics training.

12:56 – Did you watch a lot of marvel?

20:14 – The importance of being kind to others.

29:13 – When there’s blood in the streets, get in.

35:40 – The party for Jana Kramer.

39:46 – Marketing needs to be more aggressive.

Are You “Netflix Approved?

A Middle Tennessee Business Podcast

Having that “blue checkmark” or being exclusive to a platform like Netflix means you must have clout and something important to say, right? 🤔

Getting there may be easier than it used to be these days, but that also means whatever you gotta say has to mean something and make an impact. You have to put in the extra work to be heard! 📣💪🏼

The process of being in the creative space like a screenwriter, a songwriter, or speaker and being able to deliver a very solid message within a short amount of time is a huge challenge, especially in today’s saturated media world. 📲🌎

Keep pushing through, continue to make your voice heard, and know that you can be the feature of the week if you set your mind to it!

150 – California to Tennessee :: AJ Russell

A Middle Tennessee Business Podcast

AJ Russell didn’t anticipate moving from California to Tennessee. Our lovely state was last on his list..until he visited here. 

Nonetheless, he still needed to get out of California. 

Since then, many Californians are calling Tennessee their new home for a myriad of (mostly political) reasons.  

A former racecar driver, AJ brought with him a company called Matson Alarm where he was a rockstar Account Executive in Fresno. The owners of the company love AJ so much, that they let him take the name and build a Tennessee division of the company. 

Follow AJ:

Episode highlights:

7:51 – When you have your first bad experience, the gift of gab stays with you.

18:50 – Migration from LA and San Francisco to Fresno.
