Serve first. Win later. You will learn that and more in this episode of The Ripple Effect Podcast. Our special guest for today is entrepreneur and general contractor Bo Jones. Bo is a builder by trade, but even more so, he's a builder of futures. As the CEO of CareerPathway.com, Bo is leading a movement that's reimagining how we connect talent with opportunity. On a mission to radically simplify college and career exploration, he's helping students, job seekers, employers, and educators navigate a clearer, smarter path to success. His inspiration? Real pain points like watching his construction company pour time and money into outdated recruiting strategies with little return, and witnessing firsthand how difficult it is for his own kids to find purpose in their career journeys. Bo also serves as President of Tru-Built Construction, a full-scale design/build construction firm with decades of success in residential and commercial development. But he's more than a successful entrepreneur; he's a passionate problem-solver who understands the disconnect between education and employment. He built CareerPathway.com out of pure necessity to streamline the process, amplify exposure for schools and businesses, and give individuals something they've been craving all along: clarity and confidence about their futures. If you're tired of workforce challenges, struggling talent pipelines, and missed connections in hiring and education, this podcast will feel like a breath of fresh air. Bold, approachable, and relentlessly motivated, Bo brings powerful insights and straight-talk solutions to anyone looking to build something meaningful for themselves, their teams, or their communities. Bo shares how showing clients every bid, budget, and line item upfront creates trust and transparency, and how that model fuels repeat and referral business. We talk about the highs and the lows, and how strong client relationships make all the difference.  Get ready to hear what happens when innovation meets action and why Bo believes we're just getting started.   Ripple with Bo Jones LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bo-jones/ Websites: careerpathway.com, tru-built.net   Ripple with Steve Harper Instagram: http://instagram.com/rippleon Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rippleon X: https://twitter.com/rippleon Website: http://www.ripplecentral.com Stay in the loop by being a part of the Ripple mail list: https://ripplecentral.com/subscribe Be a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/SteveHarper Join our ever-growing community of Ripplers in The Pond: https://ripplecentral.com/pond To inquire about my availability for conference keynotes, corporate training, or performance coaching, please contact info@ripplecentral.com.   #Construction #Trades #Entrepreneurship #WorkforceDevelopment #CareerExploration #CustomHomes #Multifamily #OpenBookConstruction #Nebraska

Choosing the wrong medical sales role is one of the biggest reasons professionals burn out or walk away from the industry. In this episode, Samuel Adeyinka breaks down exactly how to avoid that mistake — and how to find the medical sales specialty that actually fits your personality, lifestyle, and long-term goals. Medical sales isn't one-size-fits-all. From trauma reps in the OR at 3 a.m. to pharmaceutical reps building slow-burning relationships, this episode unpacks the real differences between specialties — and how those differences directly impact your happiness and success. Samuel shares four powerful questions to ask before applying to any role, helping you get clear on your ideal lifestyle, how you like to build relationships, your appetite for clinical depth, and whether you're built for building new business or growing existing accounts. You'll also learn what hiring managers are really looking for, why desperation kills your chances, and how the wrong fit leads to fast burnout and industry ghosting. This episode is packed with real talk, strategic insight, and a roadmap to make smarter career decisions from the start. If you're serious about getting into medical sales, stop guessing.

Blamison are back with a totally unchill discussion of 1991's John Hughes-written Target ad Career Opportunities starring Jennifer Connelly (be still Jamison's heart) and Frank Whaley. There are several aspects of the film that would have made for a great film, but, alas, it all comes to, well, not much. Meet-cute beats out capitalist satire by the end of the film. Other things discussed: how work sucks, parenting wily children and the Mulroney brothers.Clip: "K-Strass the yo-yo man on KQTV in St. Joseph, Missouri." on Youtube.

Brendan McAdams, sales coach, author of Sales Craft, and founder of Kiinetics, joins us to drop serious knowledge on what it takes to succeed in health tech sales. With deep B2B expertise and a sharp focus on early-stage startups, Brendan works with founders and commercial teams to land enterprise clients, close complex hospital deals, and avoid the costly sales mistakes that kill momentum. This episode is your roadmap for transitioning from traditional medical sales into the fast-paced, high-stakes world of health tech. Brendan breaks down how to navigate hybrid sales environments, how to think like a founder when you're selling, and why success today requires more than just clinical knowledge, it demands strategic thinking, empathy, and execution. We dive into the art of the consultative sale. Brendan shares how to lead with curiosity, engage buyers without pressure, and know when to walk away. It's not just about closing deals,  it's about building trust, long-term relationships, and referenceable revenue that makes or breaks early-stage startups. You'll also hear why sales is more like a sport than a job. From staying sharp in solo roles to handling rejection with poise, Brendan offers tactical advice on staying motivated and leveling up your game. Plus, we explore how platforms like Expertscape are changing the way we think about clinical expertise and marketing in health care. If you're in medical sales and thinking about breaking into health tech,  or if you're already there and want to scale faster, this episode is packed with straight-up gold. Brendan brings the clarity, the playbook, and the mindset shift you need to sell smarter, lead better, and grow faster. Connect with Brendan: LinkedIn Connect with Me: LinkedIn Love the show?
