Send us a textIn an era of political polarization and media distrust, Willie Billings offers a refreshingly nuanced perspective on local politics as the newly elected Chairman of the Washington County Republican Party. His mission? To save Utah's unique caucus system from the encroachment of outside money and influence that threatens to transform the state's political landscape.Billings passionately explains how SB 54—the controversial "dual path" legislation—has undermined the caucus convention system that once allowed ordinary citizens to participate in politics without massive financial backing. He shares the startling revelation that even Senator Mike Lee admitted he would never have challenged incumbent Bob Bennett in a pure primary system, demonstrating how caucuses create pathways for new voices that money-dominated primaries shut out.Whether discussing economic policy, media manipulation, election integrity, or hunting adventures in Alaska, Billings offers wisdom gained from 37 years in investment advisory services and decades of community involvement. His mission now is to educate voters about the value of informed political participation before Utah's unique political heritage is lost forever.Looking for a Real Estate expert?

Bob Bennett is unarguably one of the greatest singer/songwriters in CCM history, and great songwriters tend to be great storytellers. And that's exactly what you're going to get in this episode - one great story after another! I had so much fun sitting down with Bob to talk about his journey through the music industry. And like so many artists from that era, he still has a lot left in the tank.Support the showandychrisman.com

In this episode, Bob Bennett, a seasoned entrepreneur, Founder and former CEO of Microfridge, Invoice Cloud, and EngageSmart, delves into the crucial role of luck in success and life. He shares insights on dispelling the myth that only extroverted individuals can excel in sales, emphasizing the power of building rapport. Bob articulates strategies for effective sales management, including the importance of embracing awkwardness and fostering trust. He discusses his leadership philosophy centered around an inverted pyramid, where leaders work for their team. Lastly, Bob provides actionable advice for new sales leaders, highlighting the significance of being a 'player-coach' and the importance of compounding experiences. Takeaways: Luck and Adversity as Motivators: Embrace the role of luck and adversity in shaping one's career. Leaders should recognize that seemingly negative experiences can fuel motivation and resilience, driving individuals toward success.The Myth of Extroversion in Sales Success: Understand that successful salespeople do not necessarily fit the extroverted, gregarious stereotype. Introverts can excel in sales by leveraging their strengths, such as listening and focus, which often lead to high performance.Building Genuine Rapport: Encourage your team to build genuine rapport with clients. Invest time in understanding prospects on a personal level, as trust is a cornerstone of successful sales. Teach your team to get 'awkward' early to break down barriers and build authentic connections.4Compound Experience for Success: Promote the importance of putting in extra effort consistently. Small incremental efforts compound over time, resulting in significant experience and expertise, much like compound interest. Encourage your team to go the extra mile consistently.Servant Leadership: Adopt an inverted pyramid approach where leaders see themselves as working for their team. Focus on removing barriers for your team members, providing them with the support they need to succeed, and fostering a culture of mutual respect and collaboration.Embrace and Manage Awkwardness: Teach your team to embrace awkwardness in initial interactions. Use it as an opportunity to develop a bond and establish a peer-to-peer relationship with prospects, which is instrumental in building trust and credibility.Peer Learning and Knowledge Sharing: Foster a culture of knowledge sharing where top performers share their successful strategies with others. This not only helps in leveling up the entire team but also reinforces and rewards collaborative behavior, leading to collective success.Quote of the Show:“dealing with people and helping them grow as individuals is one of the most rewarding things you can do.” - Bob BennettLinks:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bob-bennett-488b888/ Website: https://www.engagesmart.com/ Ways to Tune In:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0Yb1wPzUxyrfR0Dx35ym1A Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/coach2scale-how-modern-leaders-build-a-coaching-culture/id1699901434 Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy50cmFuc2lzdG9yLmZtL2NvYWNoMnNjYWxlLWhvdy1tb2Rlcm4tbGVhZGVycy1idWlsZC1hLWNvYWNoaW5nLWN1bHR1cmU Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/fd188af6-7c17-4b2e-a0b2-196ecd6fdf77 Podchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/coach2scale-how-modern-leaders-5419703 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Coach2Scale CoachEm™ is the first Coaching Execution Platform that integrates deep learning technology to proactively analyze patterns, highlight the "why" behind the data with root causes, and identify the actions that will ultimately improve business results going forward.

Dr. Mitsch continues his series on the broken people of the Bible with the story of the demon possessed man. He explores the implications of Jesus' interaction with the man, and how remarkably it relates to our own "demons" that we fight. Often we will choose our known "demons" over an unknown angel provided by God Himself. "Man of the Tombs" by Bob Bennett

08/02/2022 - Bob Bennett -Reflecting on the early years and the development of Contemporary Christian Music.
In our second episode on the life of Senator Strom Thurmond we center on his impact personally on his constituents and his career as a United States Senator, as SC ETV referred to it, as his time "At the Seat of Power". In this episode you will hear stories of the Senator's remarkable life and career and how he constantly worked to help the average everyday South Carolinian who counted on and trusted him. You will hear from Congressman Joe Wilson, Congressman Gresham Barrett, and State Senator John Courson. You will also hear from an array of national figures who talk about the Senator's work and influence in Washington D.C. itself. This episode includes my all time favorite story about Senator Thurmond, that I have featured more than once in my book and this podcast. It is a story told by Utah Senator Bob Bennett about a passport for a 19 year old newlywed, Secretary of State George Shultz, and quieting some doubts about the Senator's chances of winning the 1996 Senate race at the age of 94. It is a story that will make you grin from ear to ear.And it is a story that shows why Strom Thurmond is widely seen as the most effective political figure that has ever sat in congress when it comes to helping others. ** I wish to acknowledge the fine work of WIS TV 10, SC ETV, and CNN for their news broadcasts that we used in putting these three podcasts together, much of which was aired over a three day period when the senator passed away.

What does an avid Squash player with an underdog mentality and a passion for sales have to do with payments? A lot! My guest this week is Engagesmart CEO Bob Bennett. He has run four different companies over the last 30 years and been in the payments ecosystem long enough to acquire a passion for the electronic payments industry and a desire to create differentiation within that space.For those of you who may not know, Engagesmart is a bill presentment company that simplifies customer and client engagement through electronic payments. They own 4 different brands serving health and wellness, utilities, healthcare, and fundraising, all of which drive a digital self-service and payments experience. Their goal is 100% paperless and autopay solutions for invoice management and their proprietary brand Invoice Cloud drives their customer base at a rapid pace.If you were to ask Bob what got him from an applied math and computer science degree to a prolific CEO in the payments space, he will be the first to tell you that sales became his calling at a young age and he “got really good at selling hard things.” Tune in this week to hear Bob talk about his journey to becoming CEO, including his highly prescriptive method for hiring, recruiting, and retaining employees, his desire to create a unique SaaS business and his personal/professional “grow or die” philosophy. We also discuss the overall impact of the global pandemic and the tailwinds Engagesmart is still riding as a result of it.

Everyone likes to receive encouragement. I've been blessed during my life to have several men who encouraged me. My father, Sid Evans, Elmer Ellis, Don Lee, Ed Breckle, Bernie Rauch, Bob Bennett and many others come to mind. Wouldn't you like to be an encourager? This week on the podcast we'll look at the actions of a man known for encouraging others. He is Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus. Of course, you probably know him by his nickname, Barnabas. Acts 4:32-37 says, “All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they had. With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and much grace was upon them all. There were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned lands or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to anyone as he had need. Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus, whom the apostles called Barnabas (which means Son of Encouragement), sold a field he owned and brought the money and put it at the apostles' feet.” (NIV) Did you notice that Barnabas was exceptionally generous? One of the ways we can develop our ability to encourage others, is to develop our generosity. May we generously meet the needs of others!

It's very rare for a company to make it to the public markets. It's even rarer to have the founder of the company as its CEO throughout the full lifecycle to that IPO milestone. EngageSmart provides vertically tailored customer engagement software and integrated payments solutions. The company went public back in September of last year and Bob had the honor of ringing the bell of the New York Stock Exchange as its CEO & Founder on a day when the stock had priced above its initial range as a publicly traded company. This was not Bob's first company. He's a serial entrepreneur, who was the founder of MicroFridge, a company that created a refrigerator-freezer-microwave appliance combo which was built for college dorm rooms and motels. The company scaled to millions of dollars in revenue and an acquisition, but as you'll hear, Bob shares a powerful lesson from this experience that led to his future success. In this episode of our podcast, we cover: * Bob's background growing up and the importance of having a chip on your shoulder. * The full story of MicroFridge and how they were able to create an innovative product in a very complex and competitive market. * How he gained expertise in the payment industry and what led him down the path of starting Invoice Cloud, an early SaaS / cloud company. * Scaling Invoice Cloud and acquiring other vertical solutions to the point of launching the overarching EngageSmart brand. * Advice on building a company's culture as it scales. * And so much more.

Dave talks Maryland hoops, the future of sports information work in a SnapChat world, and how to foster an ideas driven office culture. Introduction: Hey everyone and welcome to the All-Star Leader Podcast, where together we learn about leadership from the best and brightest, and keep it fun by connecting it to our passion for sports! I'm your host Daniel Hare, and today we are talking with the Commissioner of the Great Northwest Athletic Conference, Dave Haglund.

This is Dave Haglund. Dave thanks so much for coming on the show! Interview Questions: So I don't think we've talked about this before, but if my timing is right I was on the basketball staff at Oklahoma and you were at Maryland when we played in 2001 in Cole Fieldhouse. Maryland won in a very good, rare out-of-conference February game. What do you remember about that one?! First year Maryland went to the Final Four; Juan Dixon was scoreless in the first half, changed shoes and led Now that we have that out of the way, let's start at the beginning. You grew up in Portland; so you're back in your hometown. What was it like growing up there and what were some of your early interactions with the sports world? Grew up an Oregon State fan; Portland Timbers were big and he went to some of those playoff games; and then Trailblazers were big as well Always devoured the sports page; after high school got a sports clerk job at a local newspaper The Oregon Journal which launched his career You went to Oregon State for college; what was that experience like and how did it move you closer to the career you ultimately decided on? The ability to make connections were big, which led to more opportunities; Oregon Journal editor called the Oregon State SID and helped Dave get a job there as a student Big round table in the Oregon State SID room where Dave worked; and Ralph Miller (OSU men's basketball coach) would use that table and Dave's chair to talk to the media after games How did you wind up at Fresno State? Who had an impact on you during your time there and how? What did you learn from a leadership standpoint during your time at Fresno State that still impacts you today. Scott Johnson was assistant SID at Oregon State and got hired at Fresno State as the head SID; offered Dave a job, and he had a job from Oregon State upon graduation as well Three coaches: men's soccer coach Jose Elgorriaga helped him with his confidence; baseball coach Bob Bennett taught him hard work and standing up for your program; football coach Jim Sweeney too. You were at Fresno for a couple of years of Jerry Tarkanian. What can you share about him and his leadership style? Enjoyed working with Tark; easy to work with He was a celebrity coach, and he returned to Fresno which was his hometown after a long, stellar career As a PR person, having someone the media wanted to talk to all the time was great for the job and career There was always controversy that followed him and his program that you had to deal with What drew you to Maryland? Same question: Who had an impact on you during your time there and how? What did you learn from a leadership standpoint during your time at Fresno State that still impacts you today. Leap of faith to move to a new part of the country and a new conference, etc. Hired Ralph Friedgen and went to an Orange Bowl Back to back final fours and a national championship in 2002 As a media relations professional, what were the benefits and challenges of being in the massive media market of Washington, D.C.? Number one benefit was the exposure because of the number of media outlets that were covering you When men's basketball went to the NCAA Tournament, they would take 80 media members along with them Always in the public eye; USA Today, CNN, PBS are right there, so anything a national sports news issue arose, those outlets would want to interview Maryland athletics' staff Let's pause here and drill down on your area of expertise for a moment. Where do you think the traditional area of media relations/sports information is going in the age of SnapChat, Instagram and Facebook? Wishes he was an SID with all the new media Athletic departments and coaches can communicate directly with their fans; this is a great thing! Create your own content in different forms and deliver it, and not need the media Balance between the old and new; the old doesn't totally go away; example is the hardcopy media guides are now gone You left Maryland to take the Commissioner position at the Cascade Conference. Can you talk a little about the motivations behind that move out of major Division I athletics and also out of media relations? Who are a few of the Cascade schools so our audience has some frame of reference? Always thought the Maryland time was temporary and would want to go back home Took a risk by leaving Division I and taking on a commissioner role of an NAIA league Was a one-man band and worked out of his home Was able to bring several national championships to the Portland area 11 institutions in three states: Oregon, Washington and Idaho; supportive presidents and good ADs; Oregon Tech won the men's basketball national championship (Daniel asks about future of NAIA) – they have lost 50+ schools to NCAA Division II in recent years but this has slowed; and Dave thinks there is a place for the NAIA; they are at 240 or 250 schools right now. Then we stole you away at the GNAC in 2011; talk about taking over that role and some of the challenges you've faced. The vast footprint: Alaska, Oregon, Montana, Idaho and Alaska; plus Canada; there's a lot of travel and air travel There was only one postseason championship at the time, and he added baseball, softball and soccer Small college football in the west is very challenging; there just aren't many schools playing; GNAC has five members and plays a double round robin Next year, men's women's basketball championship will be in Alaska this year The air/long-trip leagues are financially challenging because it really is a cost of living increase to compete at the same level Something I like to ask all our guests who have worked in conference offices: how do you go about getting individual schools to put their own best interest aside for the greater good of the conference? (if at all?!) Teamwork; everyone matters ADs have an understanding of what it takes to make the conference work; they are collegial and know there are times when what's good for the group might not be good for them as an individual school, and they are okay with that. Audience question from John Owen: How do you communicate so your team feels welcome to talk to you and bring new ideas? (from email list daniel@allstarleaderpodcast.com) Keep an open door; pop into people's offices and shoot the breeze; when you're relaxed and talking about what's going on, new ideas will come that are worthy Five rapid fire questions Name one trait or characteristic you look for when you hire someone. Work ethic and desire What habit has been key to your success? Underpromise and overdeliver Most important app or productivity tool? iPhone and Dropbox Most influential leader you've personally been around? Debbie Yow (N.C. State AD) One sentence of advice for emerging leaders? Don't remain in your comfort zone too long.
