 Building a strong personal brand can be a game changer for salespeople in technical companies. A strong personal brand establishes you as authoritative and credible and helps you stay top-of-mind with your key audience. I invited Chris Luecke, Founder and Podcast Host of Manufacturing Happy Hour on the podcast to share how he built his personal brand, how it benefited him as a salesperson, and how to get started.Chris was generous enough to share how he got started building his personal brand. It all started when he needed to reach a new audience of technical buyers in his role as an account manager selling industrial automation solutions and software. Chris needed a way to reach a new audience, including millennials who were starting to be promoted into decision making roles. He wanted to share his solutions in a simple, casual way like you would if you were out having a beer someone. The venture grew from campy videos he would store on YouTube and include in his personalized sales newsletter to popular LinkedIn videos that grew his reach and personal brand exponentially. In this episode we discuss the challenges B2B brands have with utilizing the personal brands of employees within the company including less control of brand standards and messaging, and use of standard marketing materials. Ultimately their is a strategy that includes merging company and personal brands together so everyone wins.We also discuss the fear and workarounds of getting in front of a camera and growing your audience if you're just starting out. ResourcesConnect with Chris on LinkedInConnect with Wendy on LinkedInListen to Manufacturing Happy Hour Related Episode: How Industrial Marketers Approach Influencers, Storytelling, and Personal BrandsRelated Article: 5 Actionable Ways to Position Yourself as a Thought LeaderRegister for the Industrial Marketing Summit Connect with TREW Marketing Learn About TREW Marketing Order the book!

Podcast: Manufacturing Happy HourEpisode: Cybersecurity Mini-Series: Defense in Depth & NIST Framework (Ep. 3 of 4)Pub date: 2020-05-15Asset inventory. Anti-malware strategy. Risk assessments to look at your overall OT readiness. There are more than a few investments that need to be made to have a robust industrial cybersecurity program. But it doesn’t have to be all-or-nothing, let alone a massive capex investment. In this episode, Rockwell Automation’s Global Services Portfolio Commercial Team Lead Kamil Karmali returns to Manufacturing Happy Hour for the 3rd installment of our cybersecurity mini-series. Kamil first takes us through Defense in Depth, a multifaceted layering approach to security including policies, physical requirements, and even device-level requirements. Then, we define the NIST Framework and its 5 functional topics: identifying, protecting against, detecting, respond to, and recovering from cyber threats. Kamil gives some great detail on “good, better, and best” approaches to cybersecurity that any manufacturing leader can act on regardless of the time and capital they have available. We even provide the perfect starting point along with some great case studies so that you know there’s more than one way to run a successful cybersecurity program.

SPECIAL SERIES INSPIRED BY THE COVID-19 CRISIS: Play and Creativity in Uncertain Times ************* We are in a time where it's really hard to think about play and creativity in the conventional ways. Performance venues, movie theaters, events, TV and movie productions are all shut down. We can't take creative classes or laugh with our friends in real life. I have struggled to talk about play in my typical way so I turned to the creative people in my world to learn how they are dealing with time. How has this crisis affected their creativity? How are they rethinking play during this time? What have they learned about themselves that can be relevant to us? In this conversation I chat with my friend, Chris Luecke, the host of two podcasts: Manufacturing Happy Hour and Pubcast Worldwide. We talk about how he has chosen to step up as a connector for the manufacturing community and how he is playfully using his qualities as an extrovert for good. We even get a surprise performance with him dressed up in character! For shownotes: https://louisepanwo.com/s3e4/

Chuck Swoboda sits down with Chris Luecke, Account Executive at Rockwell Automation and Host of Manufacturing Happy Hour. They discuss the how to give the best feedback, their own definition of innovation, and how large organizations can embrace innovation and risk.

In our last full-length episode, Chuck Swoboda joined us for a discussion about innovation at Milwaukee Brewing Company. Since we recorded the show in front of a live audience, in this bonus episode, we’re answering your questions about innovation, covering everything from risk-taking to getting organizational buy-in on your innovative ideas. Make sure to check out our full interview in Episode 13, and subscribe to Chuck’s podcast Innovators On Tap (https://www.innovatorsontap.com/) .

But, after they were sold to a foreign company, Chris left AB and fell into a position at Rockwell Automation. From navigating entry level positions to making the most out of your established career, Chris has got you covered. He even shares a useful book to have on your shelf that’ll give you some quick insights into the field: Never Eat Alone by Keith Ferrazzi.

On this bonus "library" episode, you'll hear what Chris Luecke -- the creator and host of the Pubcast Worldwide podcast and the Manufacturing Happy Hour YouTube show -- is reading, writing and thinking about creating next.

How do you feel about your job?  For most people the "its complicated" status would probably be a good answer -- it's mostly good with some elements of not good, and a splash of 'there's something missing to make it better.'  Chris Luecke was one of those people.  He was early in his career and steadily advancing up the ranks of a large Fortune 500 company, but "I was missing that creative element from my job."  He contemplated graduate school -- and that probably would have been seen as the normal, logical, safe play.  But he decided to do something that would end up enabling him to create his own MBA. In the span of a year, Chris launched a YouTube show featuring him drinking beer with his customers -AND- a podcast featuring him drinking beer at famous bars, breweries and festivals. (Notice a theme here?)   But the results have been remarkable, helping Chris combine his passions, increase his exposure inside the company (yes all the way up to the company's CEO) and move from 'it's complicated' to 'I love what they let me do.'  In this episode, we examine how Chris has designed his own 'MBA' that lets him explore his creative side, learn new hands on skills, and develop mastery for future opportunities (maybe a CMO one day).  It's illustrative for many people who are at that transition point in their 20s or 30s where they aren't dissatisfied with their job or their work, but feel like something lacking -- and why most managers crave employees who take risks, try new things and build their own path like Chris has.
