After 10+ years of running an internal, voluntary, private personal development call, we decided to play one here on the podcast. This conference call platform has been a staple part of personal and professional growth within our organization. It provides a platform for team members to speak up, passively consume good development content, and gradually move into a position where they feel confident to lead these quality discussions. We have a saying that goes; "Either the call needs you, or you need the call." Depending on where each team member is on their journey, its a tool that is extremely helpful in progressing that path.

"Let the tool do the work" - Rod, Taylor and Brett have been running a Personal Development call, without fail, for almost 10 years. It has been an incredible experience to watch how it has reshaped the way the team thinks. In this episode they discuss the "platform" that has helped groom so many young aspiring leaders. They talk about being in the "Growing People Business," and how important it is to create a consistent personal growth platform for staff to be able plug into. They talk about the mechanics of this call, why it is so important to the livelihood of their business, and how it has impacted them and the team over the years.

In this episode Rod, Taylor and Brett talk about a control vs. growth. "You can either have growth or control... but you can't have both." As leaders we thrive on achievement and doing things "our way," but left unchecked this could significantly stunt a company's growth. Sometimes we need to recognize that it's best to get out of our own way. Allowing your team to drive growth influences innovation, creativity, and promotes a level of ownership among staff that is critical to moving beyond yourself.

He talks extensively about the political climate and party compromises that shaped the bill, reasons why banks are still being more selective than many would like, what the biggest challenges are ahead and ultimately what we can expect throughout the next couple of months. Representative Jones shares a rally cry of optimism towards the resiliency of the American people and why he believes that we will be stronger than ever coming out of this crisis.

In this episode Brett, Taylor and Rod talk health, fitness and nutrition with Brett Eddy. Adapting to this new normal quarantined environment is no easy task.

Brett shares practical, easy to digest strategies that can help us be effective in a home quarantined environment. So the next time you reach for the pantry when you know you shouldn't or you don't think you can get an effective workout without gym equipment, remember the advice from Brett Eddy.
