Pat Winer's journey through the towing industry reveals a career marked by innovation, service, and an unwavering commitment to community. From his humble beginnings in the paint department at Challenger Wrecker Manufacturer in the early 1980s, Pat shares the fascinating evolution of his career alongside the technological advancements that have shaped modern towing.Working under industry pioneer Bill Bottoms at Challenger, Pat witnessed firsthand how manufacturing excellence and thoughtful design could transform an industry. He describes the state-of-the-art facilities where an overhead chain-link system moved parts between stations – a testament to the ingenuity that has always driven the best in the business. As the wheel lift revolution took hold in the mid-80s, Pat found himself at the epicenter of change, watching as demand for add-on wheel lifts grew so intense that "guys were waiting in line to get them."Perhaps most compelling is Pat's creation of Tow Trucks for Tots in 2007, an initiative born from a simple yet profound desire to transform the somber processions of tow trucks at industry funerals into something joyful and community-focused. What started as a local parade has grown into an annual tradition that has broken Guinness World Records, delivered toys to children affected by economic hardship and natural disasters, and even inspired similar events internationally. The friendly competition with the French Towing Association, who now hold the record with 491 trucks, only serves to benefit more children in need.Today, as District Sales Manager for Landau Corporation, Pat continues to champion innovation with new trailer designs featuring 10-foot-1 spread axles and expandable capabilities reaching 61 feet. His humility shines through when discussing his Hall of Fame induction, crediting his entire team for the success of Tow Trucks for Tots.For those interested in learning more or touring the Landau factory, Pat welcomes contact at pat.winer@landoll.com or 630-878-9837. Join us for this inspiring conversation that demonstrates how dedication to craft, community, and continuous improvement can create a lasting legacy in the towing industry.

On today's episode, we are joined by Wade Shealy. With 40 years in the sector, Wade Shealy is one of America's top leaders in resort real estate development, marketing and sales. In 2010, in response to a market need to help second homeowners realize more value in their ownership, he founded and launched THIRDHOME, the industry's premier luxury property and travel club.  Wade is recognized as the visionary force behind a series of high-profile real estate development projects. Most notably, the purchase, vision and development of Hampton Island, Georgia, an exemplary coastal community with one of the lowest impacts on the surrounding environment.  Hampton Island, a 4,000-acre private community off the Georgia coast, was cited in Robb Report's “Best of the Best” as one of the top three private communities in North America. Hampton Island became the second home to Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, along with Robert and Lydia Mondavi, among other high-profile residents. The Hampton Island development was featured in numerous publications and won national awards for architecture and design.  Wade graduated from the University of Georgia equipped for his future with far more than an Honors degree. Working for straight commission, 80 hours a week with the Southwestern Company selling bibles and educational books door-to-door, prepared him early on for many years ahead of entrepreneurial leadership.  As a college student, Wade rose through the ranks to become one of the organization's top salespeople, along the way recruiting both the largest student team and the team selling the most volume, in Southwestern's 155-year history. As a District Sales Manager, he was named “District Sales Manager of the Year” for each of his four consecutive years in that role.  In 1984, Wade began working in resort real estate, co-founding The Pinnacle Group in 1986 and growing it into one of the largest and most successful real estate companies on Hilton Head Island and the state of South Carolina.  As Vice President of Intrawest, a premier North American mountain resort and adventure company, Wade directed sales and marketing for 12 different resorts with locations from New England to the Caribbean, successfully closing over $500 million in sales, annually. During his years in resort real estate, he developed and sold more than $3 billion in real estate.  Wade has been featured in national and international publications, most notably the Wall Street Journal and Los Angeles Times. He also enjoys returning to his alma mater, the University of Georgia, as a frequent lecturer at the Business School, as well as to the College of Environment and Design in Landscape Architecture.  Wade was instrumental in the creation of the Land Conservation Program for the State of Georgia and subsequently appointed by the Governor of Georgia, to the State Board of Land Conservation, serving for five years. Under Wade's direction, tens of thousands of acres of pristine land were protected. He was also appointed to the state's Marshland and Wetlands Protection Committee and voted the “Tree Friendly Developer” for the state of Georgia.  Wade lives on a horse farm outside Nashville in Franklin, Tennessee. Besides his horses, Wade also raises bees and chickens. Inspired by his early background in nature preservation, he designed and built a natural swimming pond on his farm, one of the first of its kind in the U.S. Wade has three children, his youngest attends Arizona State University, his daughter lives in Greenville SC and is an entrepreneur with a very successful Medical Spa, and his oldest son is a Professor of Sustainable Civil Engineering at Virginia Tech.

Inspired by Lee's original "Dirt Pile" story, we decided to ask the crew about their toughest personal moments since leaving Southwestern. This will be a Part 1. Enjoy the stories from Pat, Andres, and Alecia. Lee's original story - https://youtu.be/sTQNQ7x5gIU?si=S4HjfdWmEjpoo6Zy About our panel: Alecia Huck is the founder of MAVERICK & Company, a management consultant, sought-after speaker, and author. She specializes in helping leadership teams of fast-growing companies build the critical skills, tools, systems and processes they need. She is known for working closely with leaders to customize solutions, protect existing culture, and fix what is broken without “going corporate.” Experienced in industries from construction to criminal justice, Alecia is proud to work with entrepreneurs so they can spend less time fighting fires and more time building what matters. Though he studied astronomy & meteorology as an undergrad, Lee received a Master's degree in English from the University of Kansas. While he was there, Lee was a mild-mannered lecturer in the English department by day, and a member of a touring glam rock band by night. Complete with pyrotechnics and makeup. His band just finished their Final Reunion after playing 45 years together—see Facebook. As an undergrad, he traveled a thousand miles away from home and ran his own business selling books with Southwestern Advantage—which is a direct sales program. Lee was a top salesperson that summer, and over the next seven years, was a top experienced salesperson, recruiter, and manager every year. Southwestern promoted Lee to Director of Marketing & Sales Development, in charge of Southwestern's training, and finally became the Director of Leadership Development worldwide. He helped train more than 100,000 college students there over the course of 36 years. In addition, Lee has taught at Vanderbilt's Owen School of Management and is currently a professor at two universities in Nashville, teaching business, literature, & communication courses. He also is a certified John Maxwell trainer and life coach.In his non-work life, Lee trains and competes with the U.S. Masters swim team. He is a deacon at his church, is a certified storm spotter, and also a face reader…. His wife is a physician at Vanderbilt, and they have three grown children who enjoy rock music and correcting people's grammar. Patrick Roach started Southwestern Real Estate in 2007 at the request of the CEO of Southwestern/Great American Inc., Henry Bedford. When I started SWRE, I was brand new to the industry. I decided to learn the business by interviewing other Managing Brokers in my market to learn what it takes to be successful as a Realtor. Office to office, I found myself hearing some of the same principles, but as I looked around those offices I saw A LOT of unsuccessful Realtors hanging around the office. I knew then that if I was going to succeed, I would need to insulate myself from that type of mediocrity. I created a set of principles that would chart my course so that I would become excellent at the work of a Realtor, keep my clients' interests first and foremost, and earn my future business by the referrals of happy clients. Today I am one of the top producing agents in the Chicagoland market and I've surrounded myself with others that are focused on becoming truly great at this career – I find that inspiring. Patrick has a bachelor's degree from Wheaton College in History/Social Science. He paid his way through college by selling educational products door-to-door in the Southwestern Company's summer internship, which led to a 10-year career as a District Sales Manager helping to lead that program. He lives in Glen Ellyn with his wife Jenny and their three children. He is an avid music enthusiast and is happy to pass along his newest find. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pony-tales/support

With some measurable rain in the forecast for much of Wisconsin, growers are really focused on trying to get as much done in their fields as they can.  Cooper Humphries is the District Sales Manager for Columbia, Dodge and Jefferson Counties.  He says the soybeans being harvested are dry, but yields continue to vary. Corn-wise, Humphries says that's variable too.  Moisture levels this week are ranging between 17% and 30%, so some fields will need to wait.  Waiting might be tough if some of those plants sucked nutrients from the stalk to build an ear back in August.  Scouting those vulnerable fields today, before the rain shows up, might be to a growers advantage.  He's also planning to keep an eye on test weights when the corn harvest hits full speed. Speaking of advantage, Wyffels Hybrids is in the process of building a new brick and mortar facility just outside of Ames, Iowa to help with product supply.  Listen in!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of Inside Great Minds with Adam Outland, we have a special guest I have looked up to as a mentor and example. Dan Moore joins me and shares incredible nuggets of inspiration from his new book, Control, Influence, Accept (For Now) Coping with a Future No One Can Predict. Dan grew up in Los Alamos, New Mexico, and was an honors graduate of Harvard. He holds an MBA, with honors, from Vanderbilt's Owen Graduate School of Management, where he was named class speaker. He started in the business world the same way many of us have: as a college student running his own business -- in the Southwestern Advantage Summer Sales and Leadership Program. Southwestern Advantage is the oldest direct-selling company in America and the founding member of the Southwestern Family of Companies based in Nashville. Dan paid his tuition to Harvard by selling educational books door-to-door to families and building sales teams.  Dan was promoted to District Sales Manager with Southwestern Advantage upon graduation. He pioneered many roles within the company, eventually serving as Vice-President of Marketing for many years. He is credited with modernizing the company's sales school and mission statement, developing its highly-regarded product line, and helping to launch new businesses within the company.  In July of 2007, he was named President of Southwestern. From an 18-year-old summer intern to President, he never worked anywhere else. He served on the company's Board of Directors until his retirement in January 2023. He presently serves on the boards of the Direct Selling Association and the Direct Selling Education Foundation. He is also a Co-Founder of SBR Consulting and Southwestern Consulting, also members of the Southwestern Family of Companies. These firms are dedicated to elevating sales globally by transforming the culture of sales and sales leadership within their client companies. In total, he taught more than 100,000 people how to sell, how to lead, and how to get on the path toward achieving their goals in life.  Dan also served as an adjunct faculty member at Vanderbilt's Owen Graduate School of Business and speaks regularly to business and collegiate audiences. In his spare time, he enjoys playing the guitar and piano and is an avid runner. Since the age of 51, he has completed 24 half-marathons in four countries and also completed in the 2011 New York City Marathon finishing in the top half out of more than 46,000 runners. He is a past Master of Ceremonies for TEDx Nashville.  Dan met his wife, Maria, through selling books together when they were students. She is from Portugal. They have been married for 45 years and have three adult children and one grandchild.

Wyffels hybrids are focused on research and information gathering.  For 10 years, Wyffels  has been conducting their own in-field research to try and help guide producers on product selection and management decisions. Andy Grebner, District Sales Manager for Dane & Green Counties, says that's why he put out more than 87 sticky yellow traps to monitor corn rootworm insect levels specifically.  Grebner says they really noticed escalated numbers on the continuous corn fields. Regardless of insects, the dry weather across all of his trade territory is impacting yields.  "Variability - that's the phrase I'm hearing most," according to Grebner.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

He graduated at the top of his class in 2009 from Hobart College as a three-year starter as a running back.   Anthony began competing in powerlifting in 2002 at age 15. He quickly came up the ranks, holding world records in both raw-wrapped and sleeve categories, including three overall Arnold XPC Championships and totaling ten times his body weight in 181 and 198 classes.   In the 2017 Animal Cage, he completed an expo lift (one squat, one bench, and one dead), totaling ten times his body weight in less than 60 seconds.   Anthony has always been a fan of the entire sport of powerlifting, so in 2020 he transitioned into equipped lifting with his eyes set on becoming the lightest man in history to squat over 1000 pounds. In September 2022, he successfully squatted 1010 pounds at 191.5.   When Anthony isn't competing, he works as a District Sales Manager in the construction industry, overseeing 60+ employees in Nevada, Utah, and Arizona. He and his wife, Melissa own a private gym in Las Vegas, NV, called Back Alley Barbell, where they promote old-school team lifting concepts in both raw and geared powerlifting.   Anthony's IG: https://www.instagram.com/antstillhungry/       ABOUT THE HOST   Dave Tate is the founder and co-owner of elitefts.com.

What can dealers do to keep their sales pipeline flowing towards profitability? Enter Durran Cage, Founder and CEO of Cage Automotive. He joins The Walk Around podcast for an exclusive conversation about the modern sales process, improving customer experience, and reducing friction points for both buyers and sellers.
