SummaryIn the latest episode of Service Evolution, host Jim Robinson sits down with former NFL long snapper and Super Bowl champion Brett Goode for a powerful conversation about life after football, transitioning to entrepreneurship, and the importance of building a winning culture—on and off the field.Brett's story is one of perseverance and adaptability. After years of rigorous discipline as a professional athlete, Brett faced the daunting task of reinventing himself once his football career ended. He describes how, after dealing with injuries and the unique challenges of that transition, he spent time focusing on self-discovery before launching himself into new ventures. Guided by the same drive and work ethic that took him to the NFL, Brett entered the insurance industry, became a licensed real estate agent, and eventually founded a pest control franchise, Mosquito Squad, in Northwest Arkansas.What stands out in this episode is Brett's commitment to continuous improvement and his belief in doing the little things right. He credits sports for teaching him perseverance, teamwork, and leadership, qualities that now define his approach to business and team management. Brett also shares candid thoughts on the mental challenges athletes face when leaving the spotlight, emphasizing the value of structure, mentorship, and finding new purpose. Brett's story offers inspiration for anyone navigating change. Whether you're an athlete, entrepreneur, or someone looking to reinvent themselves, Brett's journey underscores the importance of resilience, adaptability, and leading with integrity!Show Notes(00:00) Introduction(06:08) Pest Control Franchise Success(14:50) Building a Supportive Team Environment(21:16) Staying Calm Under Pressure(26:51) Better Communication Techniques(31:47) Transitioning from Sports to Business(35:43) Defining Success(38:50) Closing ThoughtsLinksJim Robinson CGP Maintenance and Construction ServicesBrett GoodeMosquito Squad of NW Arkansas

Tried It All? How One Veteran Found His Path by Figuring It Out Along the Way What if the biggest barrier to entrepreneurial success isn't having a perfect plan, but being paralyzed by trying to find one? In this episode of Engineer Your Success, Dr. James Bryant talks with Matt Thompson, Navy veteran, management consultant, and franchise owner, about the power of taking action without having all the answers. From missing out on the Naval Academy to opening a men's grooming franchise, Matt shares why "figuring it out along the way" often beats waiting for the perfect opportunity.

From Coca-Cola to McDonalds ~ Artist. Entrepreneur. Author. Servant Leader CEO of "The Why Not Win Institute" :These are just a few words that describe Larry D. Thornton, Sr. You could also call him a game changer, teacher and team player.  Even though there are many words to describe Larry's prowess leadership, hearing his life story puts everything in perspective.Growing Up in the Segregated South to go to Game Changer was not without adversity BOTH socially & because of race perceptions, However, his Mom & Many Mentors taught him interpersonal relationship skills that helped him see a bigger picture  on solving obstacles so he & his team could become winners in Business & Life.Thornton's artistry and work ethic got him attention at Coca-Cola, both for the good and the bad. He had to figure out a way to navigate this new world, where higher-ups praised him but co-workers reminded him of his “blackness” by drawing a noose in his workstation.  He persevered by learning to appreciate and embrace diversity, people resources, and conflicting opinions. While his success grew at Coca-Cola, Thornton did the unthinkable: set out to be the first African American to own a McDonald's franchise in Birmingham. This thorny journey was peppered with threats, attempts to thwart his mission and a marriage he could not keep from falling apart. He absorbed the “try, try and try again” motto, and came to see that failure was a prelude to feasting upon the sweet fruit of success. Thornton made up his mind that he would spend each day on a mission to show his unbending gratitude for his life and its benefits by fostering a supreme attitude and maintaining consistency in vision, purpose, and an unwavering commitment to principles. Thornton's journey from Madison Park, Montgomery, has been a long one. “Why Not Win?” reflects on his most useful lessons and the anecdotes associated with them He teaches Success Principles of Leadership at his "The Why Not Win Institute" launched  with Dr. Zillah Fluker in November of 2018 and in the last several years has been delivered at more than 20 colleges, universities & corporations.
