Podcast appearances and mentions of bishop mccann

Rob Adams, the CEO and owner of Bishop-McCann, has a storied career that took a dramatic turn from a 12-year stint at tech giant Microsoft to the helm of a premier events company. Adams' transformation journey reveals some profound insights he's gathered along the way. From the simple yet profound mission of creating joy to savoring unique experiences and benefiting from the mindset shift of younger generations, Adams sees a bright future for the meetings industry. From Tech to Events Adams started his career in events with a remarkable transition from a 12-year tenure at Microsoft. Adams enlightened listeners with his decision to shift gears, a move that left his colleagues perplexed. Adams' rationale for such a change was steeped in potential rather than just parties. Creating Joy Bishop-McCann's mission statement — 'We create joy' — might seem simplistic in wording, yet it embodies the company's profound impact on its clients. Adams stressed the significance of this mission and emphasized the pivotal role of joy. Savouring the Experience Adams also revealed a personal practice he maintains during events: taking a solitary moment to create a "mental picture" capturing the essence of the gathering, a practice that encapsulates the fleeting beauty of human interaction and celebration. Events: A Trilogy of People, Moments, and Memories Adams eloquently distilled the essence of events into three elements: people, moments, and memories. This philosophy underscores the sensory richness of events, an experience Bishop-McCann strives to perfect. By accentuating the individual attendee experience, Adams envisions a future where events are tailored to create lasting, positive impressions for each participant. Generational Influence: A Forward-Thrust for Industry Change According to Adams, younger generations have become catalysts for transformative change across the meetings industry. Their demand for balance, transparency, and defined career development have become benchmarks that benefit all workers. Bishop-McCann has embraced these changes, instituting policies like unlimited vacation, which Adams acknowledges were "influential" and accepted as a boon by all age groups within the corporation. The Benefits of Competitor Collaboration Adams wished for the meetings industry to emulate the collaborative spirit demonstrated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Encouraging an open exchange of ideas among competitors could, in Adams' view, drive collective improvement and innovation within the industry, a sentiment that resonates with Bishop-McCann's inclusive and progressive ethos.

Throughout his career, Rob Adams, president and owner of Bishop McCann, has been motivated by one rule: nothing is impossible. Hear how this motto guided his professional journey and helped him achieve entrepreneurial and personal goals. “A lot of my career was based upon the premise of proving. When someone would say, “You can't do something, it's impossible.” That became the drive of why I wanted to do things.” The views expressed by Enterprise.ing® presenters or guests are those of the presenter or guest and not, necessarily, of Enterprise Bank & Trust or its affiliates.

If you like what you hear in this interview, please be sure to tell a friend. And now, without further ado, let's dive into the interview.I am delighted to be talking with Dan Nilsen today. Dan is the CEO of Bishop McCann which is a brand experience agency with six locations in the United States. In 2010, Dan was awarded with the NGLCC Wells Fargo Business Owner of the Year Award. And this recognition spawned Dan to found the Mid-America Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, recognizing that there was a need to have one in the Kansas City area. So Dan, I've given the listeners a really brief overview of who you are and a little bit about your company; but why don't you tell us a little bit more about yourself, your story, and what your path looked like that led you to where you are today. Dan Nilsen: Hi Jenn, thanks for having me on today. You know I actually was asked about a year ago to be the topic of a reality series because my life- where I got to today is just so interesting because it involves so many pieces, some quite entertaining actually. I was born and raised in California and went to Long Beach State, and grew up and actually married my college sweetheart, Julie, out of that. And we had three children together. I have three daughters actually, they are- my first just graduated from college, my second just turned 21. So I can't believe that it's been so long. I started actually in Big Pharma out of college, so I was a pharmaceutical sales rep for a company like- called Marion Laboratories back in '85, and left school to work for them and ran sort of the LA market for that. I was 24 at the time and the average age of my district at the time was about 32. So that was quite a challenge to kind of move in, try to quickly learn all the things that you didn't know about managing people. I remember one of my first sort of a ride-along where you ride with one of your reps, she was talking about getting a divorce and I didn't know the first thing about what I could say that could possibly give her any advice. But I learned at that point I was supposed to be a good listener, and just share as much as I could about my reps with each other and I think was one of the ways that I certainly got to in terms of working with people and understanding the differences in people.
