We are on Day 1828 of our Trek, and it's time to explore another nugget of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote along with some wise words from Gramps for today's trek. Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. So we are on a daily trek to create a legacy of wisdom, seek out discernment and insights, and boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend; this is Gramps. Thanks for coming along on today's trek as we increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2016%3A16&version=NLT (Proverbs 16:16)  How much better to get wisdom than gold, and sound judgment than silver!    If you apply the words you hear today, over time, it will help you become more healthy, wealthy, and wise as you continue your daily trek of life. So let's jump right in with today's nugget: Today's quote is from James A. Belasco, and it is: A productive coaching relationship begins with two people with fires in their bellies: one who wants desperately to move forward and another who yearns to help that person make the journey. Productive Coaching [caption id="attachment_30623" align="aligncenter" width="300"] Source: Trueffelpix / shutterstock[/caption] Effective coaching requires a willing and qualified person to coach and another person who strongly desires to receive the instruction from the coach. Effective coaching will not happen if you are missing either of those elements. Intense desire must burn within the soul of both persons. We all need coaching in life. It may be formal coaching, such as on a sports team or a business situation, or a relaxed position where a parent teaches their children appropriate behavior or practical skills. If you are the coach, you need to have a passion for assisting others in growing and flourishing. If you are being coached, you need a desire to learn, improve, and excel. When this combination matches up, there is no limit to what can be accomplished. In Biblical terms, this same process is called discipleship. Jesus Christ was a master coach to those who followed Him. Those being disciples had a burning desire to be taught. We are also called to spread the Good News by making disciples through the great commission. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%2024%3A32&version=NLT (Luke 24:32) They said to each other, “Didn't our hearts burn within us as he talked with us on the road and explained the Scriptures to us?” As you ponder this nugget of wisdom for yourself, please encourage your friends and family to join us and then come along tomorrow for another day of ‘Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.'

Fun conversation with Ted Eynon from Meier Skis. We talk about his youth working on the family Christmas Tree Farm and Apple Orchards and how he came to own Meier Skis. He drops a great book on us too!   Facebook Twitter Instagram   The Outdoor Biz Podcast   Support the show on Patreon   Please give us a rating and review HERE   Show Notes First Exposure to the Outdoors That really started early. I just grew up in a family that was a skiing family. I grew up outside of Boston and New England and my folks had a place up in Franconia, New Hampshire up in northern New Hampshire. Where Cannon Mountain was at the time and a small mountain next to Cannon called Midtarsal. Dad was a ski instructor and we were one of those skiing families that were up every weekend, every holiday and a good many snow days where I played hooky from school. In the summer we were a backpacking family, so we'd go up in the White Mountains typically four or five days. We climbed most of the fourteeners in New Hampshire. So I'd say I just kinda grew up into it. And those activities became lifelong activities. My first outdoor job was probably working on my family's Christmas tree plantation which was a hobby of my Dad's. He had apple orchards and a Christmas tree plantation. So he had me out there working during my formative years. Things we talked about Meier Skis Matt Cudmore University of New Hampshire Colorado State Forest Service Beetle Kill Pine Paul Wilson Wish of a Lifetime Swim Across America American Alpine Club Advice, tips There is a tremendous amount of opportunity, right? And especially here in Colorado, I mean Colorado has certainly become the epi center for active outdoor lifestyle businesses. I mean there's larger organizations that are now moving here to denver. And of course with OR moving out of Salt Lake here to Denver, I mean OR and the convention center is a mile and a half from, from Meier Skis. So we've got great proximity to the show and we do tours during the day and so forth. So there's a lot of opportunity. I wouldn't say there's a lot of high pay opportunity right out of the gate. That's always a challenge. I mean, we have people constantly wanting to come work in meijer and if they're already used to making 80, 100, 150 grand, that's going to be a tough step for them. So are you willing to sacrifice some income for the lifestyle you want from a work standpoint, I guess is one thing. And for others, I think sometimes they're too specific on what role they want in a company. I think a lot of times they should just say yes. If that's the industry they want to be in and they find a company, just say yes. Then get to know the industry, get to know the company and work your way into the role that ultimately suits you.
