Get a quote from the top leaders in the industry in your inbox every morning. Bron Launsby is the CEO and Founder of Slick City Action Park and Innovative Heights Management Company. Bron's journey to founding Slick City started with a background in retail, working in corporate positions for companies like Kohl's and Cracker Barrel, where he developed product lines and strategies to increase sales. In 2011, after being introduced to the trampoline park industry, Bron decided to pivot his career into entrepreneurship, eventually scaling to nine trampoline park locations. His innovative approach led to the creation of Slick City Action Park, a new concept that blends dry slides with attractions for all ages. In this interview, Bron talks about innovation excellence, building a franchise, and how culture is everything. Innovation Excellence "Sometimes innovation comes in the form of processes, and sometimes programs, but it's always about reinvesting in your business." Bron's background in retail management laid the foundation for his relentless focus on innovation. He describes how his early career in retail taught him the importance of constantly improving operations, whether by creating new attractions or refining existing processes. The shift to trampoline parks and eventually the launch of Slick City is a testament to this mindset. Bron believes innovation doesn't always have to be monumental; it can be subtle but impactful, like introducing new attractions or developing membership programs that enhance guest engagement. At Slick City, this approach has led to the development of dry slide parks, an innovative concept within the attractions industry. What started as an idea during his trampoline park days has now blossomed into a successful and scalable brand with multiple locations. The continual pursuit of improvement, from the attractions offered to the way parks are managed, is what has positioned Bron and his company as leaders in the family entertainment space. Building a Franchise "Franchising is awesome, but you've got to stay relevant to your franchisees." Bron's experience as both a franchisee and franchisor gives him a unique perspective on the franchise model. He explains that staying relevant to franchisees is crucial for success. For Bron, this means keeping operations streamlined and efficient, as well as offering franchisees support through Innovative Heights, his management company. By being involved in every aspect, from location selection to day-to-day operations, Bron ensures that the franchisees have the tools they need to succeed. His company offers what he calls a "park in a box" model, where franchisees receive everything they need to build a consistent brand. This consistency ensures that each location, whether in a mall or industrial space, reflects the Slick City vision and meets the same high standards. Bron's approach emphasizes that franchising isn't just about replicating a successful model; it's about continuously supporting and innovating to maintain the integrity of the brand across all locations. Culture is Everything "Your guest engagement will never be higher than your team member engagement." For Bron, building a strong company culture is non-negotiable. He stresses that the success of Slick City is rooted in a "we mentality" where the team works together toward unified goals. Bron developed an acronym, "SLICK," which stands for Stand Tall Together, Love Your Community, Innovate Always, Commit to Fun, and Keep the Experience Safe. This culture-driven philosophy extends from senior management down to the newest hires, ensuring that everyone is aligned with the company's mission. Bron's belief in the power of culture is evident in the way he manages his team. He highlights that engaged employees lead to higher guest satisfaction, which is crucial in the entertainment industry. Bron's emphasis on taking care of the team and fostering a collaborative environment has been key to his company's success and rapid growth.

Chad identified one of the most significant areas for improvement in the dealership for long-term employee retention: Onboarding. What does the onboarding process look like where you work? And what are employees' first days like when they start? Do they feel special? Or are they just a number that has to file a lot of paperwork with HR? Chad will take you through a process he implemented in his dealership called the "Your LAST First Day", This has improved employee turnover so extensively that it is down to the single digits! How does he do this? Chad is transparent and generous in sharing his process, which has made all the difference in his store. His method has reduced turnover and provided benefits to his store culture leaps and bounds more than he could ever have imagined at first. His store is known for t-shirts he and his team wear that read "Culture Is Everything", and they genuinely live that philosophy each day in the store and out in the community. His dealership philosophy is widely known around town, attracting more women and diversity to his store. Chad can be reached on LinkedIn here:https://www.linkedin.com/in/chad-castor-5b6b67180/

It doesn't necessarily means you're obsessed with winning. It means you love the competition because it's where you test your skill and you don't mind losing. Losing means you analyse what went wrong and how you can be better and improve yourself Culture is everything in business. The behavior and attitude of the people is what empowers the core of a business. We have to accept that with being successful, a portion of that is because of luck. The harder you work, the luckier you become. Learn more about the contents discussed in this episode: Connect with Tom via LinkedIn and download Stakester via Android or Apple IOS

Culture IS Everything! Hiring the right people will determine your company's level of success. There are two different kinds of hires: someone to strengthen your strengths and the other is the person to fill your voids. Hire the person that fills your voids FIRST! Identify what your strengths are and then identify where your weaknesses are. Hire for those first! Stay in your area of genius! Hire for attitude, not just on education or resume. The right people with the right attitude can be trained to do anything! First hires need to be the “pick it up and do what needs to be done” people. Not the “that's not my job” people. Those people will never last. I saw a poster once in an office building that I loved so much - it was titled ”That's Not My Job” and it read like this: This is a story about 4 people named: Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done. Moral of the story: hire people, especially your first hires, to be the kind of people that will do ANY job that needs to be done! Hire Scrappy! Hire people who want to be a part of growing the business. Culture eats strategy for breakfast! 100% of the time Must have trust The team must feel empowered to do their job and make decisions - this grows with trust! When someone comes to me with a question, I ask them what they would do, then I coach from there. Let them know it's ok to make mistakes, it's not ok to not try. What are the goals of the company? Goals for the employee? How are they measured? Every time someone achieves one of these goals, I seriously get emotional. It's beautiful to watch your team blossom, personally and professionally. Define your company's purpose beyond making money. Why do you do what you do out there when shit hits the fan or people are upset? Our company goal is simple: educate and assist as much as possible while sustaining the highest levels of integrity and environmental consciousness. Pay your people! Offer benefits - make and keep attractive compensation so that your people can make a good living for their families. Don't skimp on wages and benefits. Consider those must-have investments in your business. Share each other's wins (and losses): Celebrate each other! Appreciate your peeps! - Bring in coffee. Shake their hand and hand ‘em a $50 for a job well done. Don't fear making mistakes - that's where you learn and become tough! Normalize that making mistakes is part of the growth process of a business and a team. We all screw up at times. Including us as owners and leaders. OWN IT! Your example of saying, “Shit, I forgot to do that “ or “Crap I missed that, my bad, but I'm on it right now” gives them the confidence to do the same. Make your team aware that they are an integral part of creating and keeping the awesome culture at your company. Ownership for the greater purpose of the company will also increase retention and turnover costs. Workplace culture truly starts at the top! Now, I have given you plenty of ideas and things to implement inside your business to better the culture of your company. Pick ONE. Start there. Add ANOTHER. Polish that. Keep going! You'll be there in no time! I believe in you! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ladieskickinass/message

The leadership theme we're working through this month both in the Culture Is Everything Club and on the Think Big Act Small podcast is 'Creating strong personal & professional connections with team mates.' This week's episode is an encore of the Episode 23 interview with entrepreneur and TV personality Jules Lund. Way back in Season 2, Jules was very vulnerable about his leadership journey from 'lone wolf' to founder of global tech business Tribe. Like any leader, Jules' journey has had its ups and downs, highlighted by having a really tough conversation with his CEO about the impact of his own behaviour on the rest of the team. That tough conversation between Jules and the TRIBE CEO, Anthony Svirskis, is a real-life example of how strong personal & professional connections with team mates are built. Enjoy!

Building deeper and more meaningful relationships with team mates is a non-negotiable foundation of a trusting team. In this short solo episode - the first official episode of 2021 - we explore building deeper personal and professional connections with team mates, with my own recent challenging experience as an example. I believe that vulnerably and genuinely leaning into personal and professional relationships is the most useful way to build trust and leave ourselves with memories and experiences we're proud of.

After the great reaction to last week's throwback, this week we're going waaay back - all the way back to Episode 1 in fact! It was great to revisit my chat with Dr Glen Richards of Shark Tank fame. Glen is also a successful leader and entrepreneur in his own right, having built a successful group of veterinary practices in Queensland, Australia before thinking EVEN bigger and bringing together other practices under the banner of Greencross. As co-founder and CEO, Glen oversaw incredible growth which culminated in Greencross being listed on the Australian Stock Exchange. Today, Greencross owns and operates Australia's largest network of veterinary practices with over 150 clinics including general practices, speciality and emergency centres, pathology labs and pet crematoria. Greencross is also Australasia's leading speciality pet care retailer with over 200 stores, operating under the brand names of Petbarn and City Farmers in Australia and Animates in New Zealand.

As a treat to ease into 2021, we're kicking off with a throwback episode - throwing all the way back to Episode 5! I'm excited to revisit my chat with Emma Isaacs, the founder and global CEO of Business Chicks and author of Winging It. If you're new to the podcast, you're in for a treat; and if you've been on the journey since Episode 5, you'll enjoy revisiting the many gems in this episode. Emma is passionate about encouraging women to be bold, courageous and to take risks. And she practices what she preaches: she founded a recruitment business at just 18 years of age; she founded and grew Business Chicks into Australia's largest and most influential community for women; and in 2016 she packed up her young family of 5 kids (now 6!) to set up Business Chicks USA in California. Her story is an inspiring one! Happy New Year! Tristan ___ Order a FREE copy of the Culture Is Everything book at: tristanwhite.com.au/culture-is-everything/

Today's solo episode is the super-short second part of the two-part Two lessons from two sessions with Simon Sinek series. This episode is simple: it's you, me and a few important ideas from week two of the virtual event that I spent with Simon Sinek. In particular, we explore how Simon's notion of a 'Just Cause' fits with Jim Collins' concepts such as Core Purpose, Core Values and vision. I also mention a few of other of Simon's tips including why ¾ of an answer is more useful than 1.5 answers.

Andrew de Lautour is a quietly-spoken, quietly-confident, people leader that's making impressive progress in his career inside one of Australia's big four banks. Right now, Andrew is State General Manager of Business Banking in NSW and ACT at the ANZ bank, where he leads a group of 170 team members. For more than 20 years, Andrew has grown himself, his career and the people around him at ANZ and on this episode, he shares some of that story and the lessons he's learning along the way. I first met Andrew back in the early 2000s when we were both Uni students living on campus at The University of Melbourne. We've kept in touch over the years and I'm rapt to have him on the podcast so we can learn from and be inspired by his story. Enjoy!
