In this episode, Mark discusses the importance of aligning every employee's actions with customer value, emphasizing that every touchpoint with a customer either creates or destroys value. He shares stories from his experience, including a manufacturing operator and a receptionist, to illustrate how seemingly small ideas can have significant impacts on customer satisfaction and business outcomes. Boundy underscores that value creation is about helping customers achieve desired outcomes, and this focus can drive growth, profitability, and employee fulfillment across all levels of an organization.   Why you have to check out today's podcast: Discover real-life stories about how employees at every level, from operators to receptionists, can innovate to drive customer satisfaction and business results, making it relatable and motivating. Gain actionable strategies to ensure every team member understands how their role impacts customer value, helping you foster a culture focused on positive customer experiences. Learn how traditional metrics can sometimes hinder value creation, providing tips on aligning KPIs with customer-centric goals to achieve greater long-term success.   "Customer value comes from two things, one, your differentiation, and two, the outcome that customer achieves because of your differentiation." - Mark Boundy   Topics Covered: 01:25 - Sharing the experience that gave rise to using the word 'antipreneurial' in his book 04:08 - The importance of flexibility within processes, contrasting rigid corporate guidelines with adaptable checklists 07:41 -  Stressing the importance of a value-oriented organization not just sales around delivering customer outcomes 09:14 - Highlighting the importance of aligning sales and implementation teams to ensure realistic promises are made to customers 12:39 - What it requires to create a value-driven organization 16:09 - Emphasizing the need to prioritize customer-focused KPIs over purely efficiency-driven ones with real-life illustrations 20:12 - How focusing on customer satisfaction and adding value leads to substantial growth, high profitability, and employee satisfaction 21:35 - Stressing a point that employees feel more fulfilled and engaged when they understand how their work directly impacts customers' lives 22:51 - Defining value and illustrating how value was created by understanding customer outcomes deeply 26:51 - Mark sharing how anyone in the company, even janitors and receptionists can add value    Key Takeaways: "If the most important process in your company is your customer's buying journey, and your KPI has nothing to do with that buying journey, that's a yellow light." - Mark Boundy "If maximizing that KPI inhibits the customer journey, I call that a masking KPI. You're measuring something that makes you worse by making yourself good at stopping the customer from complaining. You get bad at turning customers into joyous partners." - Mark Boundy   People/Resources Mentioned: The Infinity Effect How Elite Growth Companies Abolish Antipreneurial Patterns and Create More Profitable, Happy, Lifetime Customers by Mark Boundy: https://www.amazon.com/Infinity-Effect-Summary-Antipreneurial-Profitable-ebook/dp/B0D1NNLWRH Lucent technologies: https://lucenttek.com/index.html Cisco: https://www.cisco.com/#tabs-35d568e0ff-item-194f491212-tab Miller Heiman Group: https://www.kornferry.com/about-us/our-story/miller-heiman-group Zappos: https://www.zappos.com Barefoot Wines: https://www.barefootwine.com   Connect with Mark Boundy: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/markboundy/ Website: www.boundyconsulting.com Email: mark@boundyconsulting.com   Connect with Mark Stiving: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving/ Email: mark@impactpricing.com

They highlight the need to understand industry benchmarks and use those to set goals rather than arbitrary revenue targets.The Value of Storytelling: Michael and Bonnie stressed that storytelling is a powerful tool for passing on values and engaging team members, investors, and customers.

Bonnie Harvey and Michael Houlihan started Barefoot Wine with $300,000 in debt and almost no knowledge of wine. What they did understand was how to sell it—with a carefree name and label that evoked the beach, and a consistent flavor and low price point that attracted shoppers who normally rejected wine as being too snooty. But winning over that audience took extreme patience, and years of pavement-pounding by Michael. In 2005—twenty years after launch—Barefoot had become ubiquitous, and was acquired by E & J Gallo, one of the biggest wine brands in the world. This episode was produced by J.C.

This is the weekly newspaper column.John Steinbeck, riffing from Shakespeare's Richard III, wrote: “Now is the winter of our discontent, made glorious summer by this sun…”With respect to both august authors, now is the “summer of our excruciation” when—at least in my Texas—triple-digit, record-high temperatures produced by the “glorious summer by this sun” heat dome are making William Carrier, the inventor of modern air conditioning, a saint to be venerated regardless of your religious inclinations.Does wine have a place in this? Of course it does.Think pink. Think light. Think dry. Think chilled. Think ice cubes. Think cans. Think bag-in-a-box. In fact, think out of the box of your usual wine routine.Rosé has long been a summer cliché. While rosé is wonderful any time of the year, if there ever was a summer to buy into the rosé cliché, this is it. Well chilled—if you are sipping outdoors, even put an ice cube in your glass or plastic cup—rosé is perfect way to beat heat. Rosés typically have lower alcohol—even more so with that ice cube diluting and chilling—so you don't have the burn of higher alcohol big reds, but you still have some of the character of red wine.Chilling tip: if you recoil from ice cubes, use frozen grapes.Go dry rosé. Sweeter rosés—sometimes called “blush”—are too sweet for the heat. Also, when sipping in the sun, make sure some sipping is water. Alcohol dehydrates—a reason to shun high alcohol—so match wine glasses with water glasses.If you must go red, go with lighter reds. Lambrusco is the lightest red wine commonly available, and has the bonus of being slightly bubbly. Gamay, often better known as gamay beaujolais, works chilled in summer and is even better in summer than it is as a gotta-have-a-gimmick wine at Thanksgiving.Pinot noir, especially etherial iterations, is lighter alcohol and higher acidity, all nice when chilled for summer elegance. Cinsault—pronounced “san-soh”—typically has aromas some describe as “hotdog” and certainly it has savory elements, so you can see where this is going on your summer outdoor meal deal.Light, bright, high acidity, lower alcohol white wines are no-brainers. You can easily get them in cans—great for chilling in an ice chest—and cans certainly are safe where broken glass will be a summer bummer.Finally, a suggestion not often made in serious wine writing—give Gallo's Barefoot Wine a try. Really.Last round: This summer has been so hot cows are producing evaporated milk. Another reason to sip chilled wine.Since you subscribe to my newsletter, it follows you enjoy wine and humor and are an adventurous, inquisitive person.

Talking Taxidermy. How to make those wildlife trophies; big game to small game, birds to fish, even mountain lions, into works of art. Grace your walls with the memories of a lifetime. Next, now that we are all in the midst of WARM temperatures, having us all cooking outside; we share the latest 'smoking' trend using bacon. We share the latest in Outdoor News plus have your Travel and Entertainment headlines! This is Rebecca Wanner aka BEC and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt with the outdoors show The Bend Show! Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcasting app or on The Bend Show YouTube channel. EPISODE DETAILS Tightlines is what Tigger is bragging about to kick off The Bend Show. Recently BEC and Tigger loaded the kayaks and headed north to a local small fishing lake for a spur-of-the-moment, evening of fishing. As usual with these two, it immediately became competitive. Tigger with his fly rod and BEC using her trusty spinning reel paddled away and started tossing lines. The good news, neither were skunked. Tigger reeled in 33 fish to BEC's small catch of only six. A blast of fun was had landing sunfish, crappie and largemouth bass. The Bend Show kicks off! SPOTLIGHT Air Travel. Could these be trends we see elsewhere in the near future?  Recently an Australian teen was charged $65 dollars for wearing an extra 13lbs of clothing to avoid the overweight luggage charges. Well this tried and true travel hack, that almost all of us have done so when flying, FAILED. The Australian airline still charged the teen for now wearing the extra 13 lbs of clothing the overweight luggage charge of $65.  So we're telling you this as just in the last few weeks it's been announced that Air New Zealand is now weighing passengers before flights! The airline has stated that they have added scales to their boarding areas because the data collected helps them improve their load control and are wanting customers to be reassured that there is no visible display anywhere. We know that there's been a lot of airline issues over the last year; be sure to be keeping a close eye on your flights and small print as we head in various directions in the months to come, and know we will be keeping a close eye ourselves on the Flight Travel News. NEWS Cotton Candy-Flavored OREO Cookies  Hitting the store shelves this week! Hurry though, as the Cotton Candy Flavored OREO cookies are for only a limited time. Perfect timing if you ask us as county fair season begins to really kick off for many! Cotton Candy-Flavored OREO cookies were last available a decade ago... Back in 2013. Calgary Stampede Rodeo In Canada The historic Calgary Stampede Rodeo runs this year from July 7th thru the 16th. The Calgary Stampede menu to grace the midway has been released and they want you to remember, in reference to the menu, “It's not something you eat every day. It's something you come to once a year.” New amongst other items throughout is this Hot Dog that is getting all the buzz. The big-ticket item will be the Jalapeno Cheddar Gut Buster which will set you back $100! The huge 12-inch smoked jalapeno cheddar dog is comprised of elk meat and aged wagyu beef marinated in an aged red wine for five days, sitting on a bed of Bundenerfleisch (which I've never had) on baked red pepper and sun-dried tomato ciabatta bun and topped with cheese, imported german sauerkraut, onions, and bell peppers. Now we know that a few of you that specialize in everything sausage to being grilling masters are thinking… hmm "I need to make my OWN TWIST on this $100 idea" for a hot dog. If you take in the Calgary Stampede, be sure to tag us in your pictures! Tag @thebendshow World's Fastest Trash Can?  Never knew there were fast Trash Cans until today! Michael Wallhead, a British Engineer, recently claimed the new world record when his motorized trash can topped out at 55mph beating the old record by 10 mph. The trash can was purchased on Facebook Marketplace for 25 bucks, then $900 was spent souping it up with a Suzuki engine, wheels, axle, gearbox, chassis, and steering column. TAXIDERMY, A FORM OF WILDLIFE ART Meet Jake Faehnrich, owner of JB's Wildlife Designs in Mandan, North Dakota. Tigger sits down with this artist to learn what attracted Faehnrich to the art of Taxidermy. We learn of other forms of preserving our trophy animals, fish, and birds. This up-and-coming taxidermist is showing skills that take your breath away. JB's Wildlife Designs has experience in everything from mounts to rugs to painting on the skulls of our harvested trophies. They strive to exceed the expectation of every customer, preserving those moments and memories for a lifetime. Featuring: Jake Faehnrich; Taxidermist & Owner of JB's Wildlife Design Facebook: @jbswildlifedesign BEC's BARREL OF THE GOOD STUFF WINE LOVERS -  BEC found this recent "Personality Study" by Barefoot Wines interesting. So let's see how true this is for you. Does your Wine preference match your personality?? Red Wine drinkers - Introverted… but Like The Outdoors, are Early Birds & love dogs. Sparkling Wine drinkers - Outgoing & as you guessed Extroverts. White Wine drinkers - They like being the “Life of the Party”, take more selfies, like it “indoors”, tend to be night owls, and LOVE cats Rose' drinkers - little panache there - You tend to be the “Party Planners” of the group, night owls that love dogs... AND are most likely to get a tattoo. ENTERTAINMENT NEWS CONCERT ALERT  There's one concert this summer that might be quite “The Event”... It's been announced that Guns N Roses at their upcoming August 26th concert in Nashville, TN; Guns N Roses will be joined by Carrie Underwood!! Heck Yay! Come on, you know the lyrics, “Welcome Come To The Jungle…”  We believe this will be an epic concert! CODY JOHNSON  The country superstar out of Texas is a former rodeo bull rider, and Cody Johnson also used to work as a prison guard in the Texas State Penitentiary system before deciding to focus on music full-time. At a recent concert, some fans almost got on the bad side of Cody when they started fighting in the pit right in front of the stage – and this cowboy had to lay down the law. A viral video posted from his show in Virginia, shows Cody Johnson addressing the rowdy fans, “If you start a fight in this pit I will stop this show and have your a** thrown out." And this cowboy followed up that warning with, "If you wanna fight, take it somewhere else because y'all bump into one of these kids you'll have me jumping off the stage at your a**.” KENNY CHESNEY As many fans may or may not know, Kenny Chesney is a huge football fan however recently he revealed that he is torn about performing at halftime of the Super Bowl. Kenny Chesney explained that if he were asked to do the Super Bowl, he would probably say "Yes."  HOWEVER If he was given the choice between all that stress leading up to it, or to sit in a fancy stadium suite with his dad while having a beer . . . He's probably going to do just that. Priorities. Make those memories with our loved ones while we can, in our opinion, Chesney's figured a lot out about what matters in life. COOKING TREND Have you tried this, it's all over social media. Bacon-wrapped Oreos! Oreos are being wrapped in bacon and then coated with different types of salts before placed into a smoker for an hour. Supposedly the cookies come out nice and warm, while the bacon is crisp.

So, if you didn't know, Pouilly-Fumé is Sauvignon Blanc, but from a specific area of France in the Loire Valley. Like a lot of European wines, the names can be confusing because they are named after the place they are from, not the grape they are made from. But the real question is - can you tell the difference between a Sauvignon Blanc from Pouilly-Fumé, which is going to be a little pricey, from a much less expensive Sauvignon Blanc? If you are curious about all of this stuff, this is the episode for you! We talk about what makes Sauv Blanc from Pouilly-Fumé special, and then we taste and review two wines from Pouilly-Fumé and compare them to Barefoot Sauvignon Blanc. The results may surprise you! Wines reviewed in this episode: 2021 Domaine Francis Blanchet Pouilly Fumé Cuvée Silice, 2020 Domaine Cailbourdin Pouilly-Fumé Les Cris, and Barefoot Sauvignon Blanc.Contact The Wine Pair Podcast - we'd love to hear from you!Visit our website, leave a review, and reach out to us: www.thewinepairpodcast.comFollow and DM us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewinepairpodcast/Send us an email: joe@thewinepairpodcast.com

When launching a new brand, what can you do to establish a positive reputation while bringing the consumers something affordable? For Michael Houlihan, the drive behind Barefoot Wine was bringing powerful flavor at an approachable cost for the consumer to devour. From humble beginnings, Michael and Bonnie Harvey put in the work and hours. By seeking guidance from top industry leaders on their rise to success, they were able to scale the Barefoot brand through innovative and creative marketing techniques — by bringing together a brand with the community. Today, Michael is here to share his first-hand tale of getting his brand to the masses. Listen to this episode of Legends Behind the Craft featuring Michael Houlihan, Co-founder of Barefoot Wines and Business Audio Theatre, as he shares his vivid and inspiring journey into the alcohol beverage industry with Drew Hendricks and Dr. Jeremy Weisz. Michael talks about his beginnings as a pioneer in the wine industry, leveraging and linking innovative marketing techniques, and suggestions to help entrepreneurs succeed in today's market.

Since they sold their popular wine brand Michael Houlihan & Bonnie Harvey have dedicated themselves to helping others achieve the same success without suffering through the same mistakes that they made. They started in a laundry room of a rented farmhouse in the Sonoma County hills and ended up in the boardroom of the world's largest winery. They were under capitalized and lacked knowledge of their industry. They were forced to become resourceful, develop and utilize soft skills, forge long term relationships with strategic allies, and practice an extended view of customer service.Because they couldn't afford commercial advertising, they developed what they called, “Worthy Cause Marketing”. They supported hundreds of small non-profits in the neighborhoods surrounding the stores where their products were sold. They hoped to give the members of those non-profits a social reason to buy their products.Their Customer Care people were transformed from “complaint resolution” to “customer intel”. Today they help companies develop formal lines of communication between Customer Care and Marketing, R&D, and Production to keep their products and services relevant and competitive. Barefoot is now the #1 Wine Brand in the world.In this episode we discuss the following:How bankruptcy turned into opportunity and led to the creation of Barefoot WinesAn example of how a great idea came from an unlikely sourceGoing the extra mile in supporting nonprofits in your business strategyHow to motivate employees and structure a customer service organizationMentioned in the show:The Barefoot Spirit AudiobookEntrepreneurial Speaking ReelSOCAPBarefoot WinesTo Contact Michael:www.thebarefootspirit.comTo Contact Chip:Email: TheChipChatPodcast@gmail.comFacebook: The Chip Chat PodcastInstagram: The Chip Chat Podcast

When they launched a Sonoma wine business in their laundry room in 1986, Bonnie Harvey and Michael Houlihan were business consultants with no industry knowledge and no money, just $300,000 worth of bulk wine.  Today, the Barefoot Wines label they started is a top international brand. They've written thousands of articles and two best-selling books—The Barefoot Spirit: How Hardship, Hustle and Heart Built America's Number One Wine Brand and The Entrepreneurial Culture: 23 Ways to Engage and Empower your People. Now they're helping other entrepreneurs tell their stories in imaginative audio books.  The common theme running through all these successful endeavors is being outsiders, continually forced to come up with novel solutions. “We'd never written a book before. We'd never done an audio book before. We'd never done a wine business before,” Michael tells Published Author Podcast host Josh Steimle. “We weren't wine people. We were entrepreneurs.”  TOP TAKEAWAY: YOU CAN DO IT!  That's the message Bonnie and Michael want to pass on to entrepreneurial consumers of their print and audio books. “The Barefoot Spirit is a you-can-do-it story, says Michael. “No, it's not what you expect. It's more work and different work than you thought, but this is doable. That's the message, an encouraging message for entrepreneurs.”  After 19 years of a “get-rich slow scheme,” Bonnie and Michael sold Barefoot Wines and wrote a book, at their staff's insistence. “Once we sold our company, our staff came around and said working for us was the most unique, wonderful experience they'd ever had. And that we'd have to write a book about the company culture, which is why they'd all stayed with us.” says Bonnie. “Because our approach was so unique, we wanted to share it with other people, and the only way to do that was in a book.”  But they didn't want the Barefoot Spirit to be a typical, top-down business book. “So we thought why don't we just give them a story and let them draw their own conclusions, because they'll see the action and outcomes and learn the lessons even better than in a prescriptive text,” says Michael.  Make sure you're ghostwriter understands the principles you're communicating  After a disastrous first attempt at hiring a writer for their book, Michael and Bonnie found Rick Cushman, a longtime food-and-wine columnist for the Sacramento Bee, who impressed them with his humor, style and ability to tell stories.  “He talks to the average person, which was our end user in the wine industry,” says Bonnie. “So we'd tell him stories, and he'd take notes.”  “I would recommend to your listeners if you're going to get a ghostwriter, make sure they understand the principles you're trying to get across,” adds Michael. “What is the basic message here? Is it a message of tenacity, of innovation, of humanity?”  TURNING BUSINESS BOOKS INTO AUDIO PLAYS  The couple's latest book, The Entrepreneurial Culture: 23 Ways to Engage and Empower Your People, is an audio book, intended to reach a wider, younger audience. But it has a twist.  “We bought the top 10 audiobooks on Audible, and every one was great. But they were all read to you. They were all narrated,” says Michael. Driving across the Nevada Desert one day, they heard a PBS radio play complete with actors, sound effects and music. “We thought this is a fantastic way to communicate, through an audio play, like we had in the 1940s, before television.”  “Audio is entirely mobile, and you're not tethered to a screen or a page—you're jogging, driving, cooking pasta, vacuuming the floor—and you're listening to a story and you're learning from it. And you can put it down or pick it up anytime you like.”  The Entrepreneurial Culture was named a top-five audio book of 2020 by the Audiobook Producers Association. The award's judges said they'd never heard a nonfiction audiobook like it, let alone one that was self published.  Bonnie and Michael are now offering their audio theatre services to other entrepreneurs so these companies can preserve, in story form, their legacy, successes and knowledge. “We're motivated to help others and educate ourselves, to stay on top of the entrepreneurial education industry.”  LINKS  LinkedIn - Michael Houlihan  Linkedin - Bonnie Harvey  Twitter  Facebook   Instagram  YouTube  TheBareFootSpirit.com   Subscribe To The Published Author Podcast  If you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, or anywhere else you listen to podcasts.

I can't tell you how excited I was when Michael Houlihan and Bonnie Harvey said yes to the Pass the Secret Sauce podcast. If you don't recognize their names, you probably recognize what they founded, what they created. And we're going to get into some of how they created this in this episode. Bonnie and Michael are the founders of Barefoot wines, which today is one of the, if not THE most recognized, and most popular bottles of wine in the US. The incredible story about how they started this basically from nothing. I can't even tell you how much fun I had talking to both of them. In addition to that, Bonnie and Michael are New York Times bestselling authors. The newest projects that they have right now is that they're founders of Business Audio Theatre. They call it BAT. And again, we get into a little bit about what that actually is in this episode. And they've actually given us access to some of the footage from their own productions. If you have any interest in building huge mega brands, there are learnings from this episode that you can take away with that. In this episode we discuss: They discuss their first jobs when they were younger [5:38] Inspiration for creating Barefoot Wines [8:11] Getting ideas for their brand from blue collar workers [10:01] How Bonnie's body part ended up on the largest wine brand in the world [11:22] Bringing Barefoot wine to market [14:06] Excerpt from their book: The Barefoot Spirit: How Hardship, Hustle, and Heart Built America's #1 Wine Brand [14:25] Being rejected by a distributor [16:27] How donating their wines in the early stages increased their sales [18:58] Spreading themselves too thin when scaling their business [21:03] Selling the business and advice for others wanting to sell their business [24:42] Types of clients that would benefit from their consulting firm [32:46] What they look for in a client [34:07] Why they started Business Audio Theater [36:52] Get a free chapter from their audiobook [41:27] Quotable Quotes: It was not following a passion, it was following an opportunity passionately. When you don't know what you're doing and you're broke, you're very humble and you tend to ask a lot of questions. And because you're not from the industry, you don't ask industry people that turned out to be a big strength of ours.
