Enjoy this conversation between Jennifer Didier and Jeff Butler from Cask Canada.  Jeff tells us about the foundations of how Cask was founded and grown into the company it is today. Jeff Butler Bio: At Cask Canada, I am the General Manager of the most awarded pure-play ServiceNow partner in the world. I bring over six years of experience in the ServiceNow ecosystem, where I have helped clients and prospects achieve their digital transformation goals by planning and implementing the ServiceNow platform to deliver business value and reduce costs. I am passionate about developing long-term trusted relationships with clients and strategic alliance partners, leveraging my skills in new business development, customer relationship management, and channel strategy. I have successfully managed and grown the ServiceNow practice and alliance at KPMG Canada and Kyndryl, where I was responsible for generating over $50 million in revenue and delivering over 40 projects across various industries and sectors. I am committed to delivering excellence, innovation, and value to my clients.

In today's episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Jeff Butler, General Manager of Cask Canada, who shares the story of how he led a tech startup to a standout position in the competitive ServiceNow ecosystem in less than a year. Listen in to learn how Cask Canada grew from startup to standout in the ServiceNow ecosystem by focusing on people, trust, and AI-driven transformation. As we explore Jeff's unique journey from his early days witnessing the birth of Silicon Valley innovation in San Francisco to building a thriving ServiceNow consulting business in Canada, there are lessons here for anyone navigating today's fast-moving tech landscape. Jeff offers a first-hand look at the unexpected realities of launching a consultancy in Canada's evolving digital market. Rather than focusing solely on technology, he highlights the power of building genuine, long-term relationships with clients and team members. Throughout our conversation, it becomes clear that success in tech services today is shaped as much by trust, patience, and authenticity as it is by technical excellence. We also discuss how AI and automation are reshaping ServiceNow-driven digital transformations. Jeff provides valuable insight into how AI is not just enhancing customer service experiences but also beginning to change the way consulting services are delivered. Yet he makes an important point: human oversight remains vital, especially when high-stakes business decisions are involved. Looking ahead, Jeff reflects on the challenges and opportunities that ServiceNow partners face as AI capabilities mature, integration demands grow, and the implementation partner landscape changes. He also shares how building an elite consulting team required a deliberate focus on culture, communication, and finding people who want to build something bigger than themselves.

Rick Sanchez welcomes show producer Scotty Mednick and workplace strategist Jeff Butler to discuss the process of re-inventing yourself when you lose your job or your business.  Butler attests that sometimes you have to fail in order to succeed.  You must use the tools that you developed in order to succeed in your previous job and then refine and expand them in order to find the newer, better version of yourself.  From adversity comes clarity, determination, and focus.  Sanchez agrees that you must identify the true value in your life and then fight like hell for it.  You must find your “why” and then use it to motivate you to keep pushing forward until you achieve success.

A new MP3 sermon from Beaverton Baptist Church is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Wisdom from Paul and Timothy Subtitle: Missions Conference 2022 Speaker: Jeff Butler Broadcaster: Beaverton Baptist Church Event: Sunday School Date: 9/18/2022 Bible: 2 Timothy 4 Length: 31 min.

Jeff Butler is a keynote speaker, author, and workplace strategist who talks about how multi-generational organizations can thrive. He helps businesses with topics ranging from recruitment to retention management and offers managers and C-Suite members unique insights from a millennial perspective. Moreover, he talks about authenticity and how it can be leveraged to form connections and create a strong team. Jeff has been featured in over 50 media outlets, has founded 3 profitable companies by 27, and has published two books.Key TakeawaysJeff's path into the speaking business wasn't linear. Learn about his challenges and road blocks along the way. It's important to not only be authentic on the stage but also behind the scenes. Having a team can be a great asset, and it's important you're transparent with them. Let them know when you see them doing well but also point out where they could be improving.Sustaining a speaking business is more than just about going on stage. There's a lot at work behind the scenes like building up experience and marketing yourself. A strategy Jeff gives to have a successful speaking business is reverse engineering everything. Figure out where you want to be and then look at what others did to get there. That is a great source of information and can lead you down the right path.Memorable QuotesThe ultimate thing that we're doing when we're being authentic or trying to practice authenticity is connection...not to get a result but to connect, feel heard." - Charles Clark"[In speaking] there's so many people who are better than me who can be funny or make an audience clap on command or get a standing ovation. But can you consistently get on stages for enough money to make this a successful business? That is hard." - Jeff Butler"The speaking business is not just about getting on the stage, it's a lot of leg work. It's a lot of behind the scenes things that most people will never see." - Charles ClarkEpisode Resources & LinksJeff ButlerWebsite: https://jeffjbutler.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/iamjeffbutler/Instagram: + Twitter: @iamjeffbutler | Facebook: @iamjeffjbutlerCharles ClarkWebsite: https://thecharlesclark.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charlesclarkusa/Instagram + Facebook: @thecharlesclarkTo get access to all our episodes, visit our podcast page!Enroll in our Journey to Paid Speaking Gigs program to find your voice and learn how to create your own speaking business

DESCRIPTION SOURCE: Lowe - What to watch for in tonight's massive Game 1 tilt between the Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers (espn.com) Tonight's much-anticipated matchup between the Philadelphia 76ers and Brooklyn Nets -- marking Ben Simmons' in-person return to Philly -- provides our first look at two potential long-term rivals in very different states in the aftermath of their trade deadline megadeal. Judging any trade right away can be dicey if the teams approached it with different timetables in mind. The Nets hoped to make a run this season behind the fully optimized Simmons-Kyrie Irving-Kevin Durant trio, but they also knew the Simmons-James Harden swap -- made through gritted teeth, facing interminable melodrama -- might insure them against future collapse. Harden is 32, battling off-and-on hamstring issues and questions about how his game will age. He is eligible for an extension that would make him the highest-paid player ever. Simmons is 25 and under contract through 2025. His flaws might shine brighter as Durant and Irving age (or if Irving leaves in free agency), but he should keep the distant-future Nets afloat -- perhaps insulating them from the disaster scenario that befell them the last time they traded away their entire draft-pick stockpile. The Sixers and Daryl Morey were thinking only of today. They were willing to swallow the potential downside of Harden's twilight for multiple title shots over the next three seasons. Early indications are Morey was right about Harden turning Philly into an immediate inner-circle contender. The Nets, meanwhile, remain the league's foremost theoretical team. Their three stars fit, but it's uncertain when or where they might be able to play together -- and how Simmons will respond to postseason pressure. They flash glimpses of being an unstoppable super-shooting machine, with two 3-point marksmen surrounding their stars; they played much of their Tuesday win over the Charlotte Hornets -- when Irving erupted for 50 points -- in such alignments, with Bruce Brown keeping the Simmons non-shooter slot warm. Durant alone gives the Nets a chance in any one game, and in some series -- should the Nets reach the postseason. Durant and Irving together give the Nets a chance in any one playoff series. But to win three or four? They need more. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/masseffect/support

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is a physician, epidemiologist, educator, author, speaker, and podcast host. We first met back in 2017 while I was competing in a pitch competition for a start-up I had at the time, Abdul was the keynote speaker. He told an incredible story about his time as Detroit's Health Director, where he often worked directly with kids who faced uncertain futures because of the health risks present in the communities. From that moment on, I've been a huge fan of Abdul's work and his overall outlook on life. Better yet, only a few days prior to that speech he announced his historic candidacy for the Governor of Michigan, which would have seen him become America's first Muslim governor. While he didn't win this race, he earned tremendous support from progressives all over the country led by Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and touched the lives of thousands of people across Michigan and beyond with his vision for a better future and his unique brand of progressivism. Abdul and I have stayed in touch over the years and I'm always inspired by his ability to capture and articulate the moment, and help chart a collective path forward. In this episode, we talk about the role that travel plays in developing and defining one's identity. He shares his experiences traveling between the United States and Egypt as a child and how these trips continue to shape his life today. We also talk about his time living in the United Kingdom as a graduate student, and what lessons from abroad he's been able to bring home to Michigan. We touch on his 2018 run for the Governor of Michigan, his reflections and current thoughts on the Covid-19 pandemic, and what the future of travel looks like as we begin to engage in exploration again. We end the conversation in a similar manner to when I first met Abdul, with him speaking about the future of the progressive movement and where he views his role going forward. Follow along with Abdul's work: His newsletter, "The Incision," cuts to the heart of the trends shaping our moment. He is a commentator at CNN. His two books include "Healing Politics," calling for a politics of empathy to cure our epidemic of insecurity, and "Medicare for All: A Citizen's Guide" with Dr. Micah Johnson. He is the host of “America Dissected,” a podcast by Crooked Media, which goes beyond the headlines to explore what really matters for our health. He is a Senior Fellow at the FXB Center for Health & Human Rights at the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, and a Scholar-in-Residence at Wayne State University and American University, teaching at the intersection of public health, public policy, and politics. He is formerly the Health Director for the City of Detroit and candidate for governor of Michigan in 2018. Follow Abdul on Instagram and Twitter.

Exploring a plant-based or vegan diet? Looking for ways to reduce your impact on the environment? This episode is for you. Born and raised in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, Vitor is a passionate advocate for environmental conservation, community empowerment, and sustainable development. Vitor grew up a wildlife aficionado and football fan, and in 2008 at the age of 17, he left his home country to experience one year of high school at a boarding school in Massachusetts. One year turned into two, as the beautiful game and the outdoors helped him connect with students from all over the world, better understand diverse perspectives, his origin story, creativity, and self. Since then, he's continued crafting his journey in the United States through higher education, the job market, and any opportunity to fine-tune his abilities to help people and animals wherever he goes. In 2010, Vitor earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Philosophy and Religious Studies at Marist College, where he studied how humans think and interact with each other and the natural world. In 2014, he earned a Master of Science Degree in Natural Resources and Environment from the University of Michigan, where he pursued two concentrations in Environmental Justice and Behavior, Education, and Communication, and was introduced to veganism in 2015. In our conversation, we talk about Vitor's family life in Brazil and we confront a complex history of colonialism around the world. We also talk about higher education, and that learning has played throughout his life. We wrap up this conversation with a deep dive into the vegan, or plant-based lifestyle.

Jerome Moore served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Paraguay, and currently runs an organization called Community Changers in Nashville, TN. He's also the host of several podcasts, one about travel and black identity called “Black Americans Making Their Mark: Stories Abroad,” along with another podcast called “Deep Dish Conversations.” Jerome is a captivating storyteller, using narrative to help people recognize the ways in which they can make a difference in their community. Part of his process is encouraging people to get out of their community and to get out of the United States (if that is where they reside). He encourages people to go experience what life is like in another country and use travel and immersion as a mirror to better understand who they are. This conversation is full of stories and insight into how his experiences abroad as a black male in Paraguay, Costa Rica, and most recently China, helped shape his path towards community engaged work back in his hometown of Nashville, TN. This is a must listen episode, as we collectively examine the role that identity plays when traveling abroad. I learned a lot from Jerome here, and I'm confident that you will too.

Robert Steinglass: Pioneering Public Health My guest today is Robert Steinglass. Robert is a titan in the global public health sector. He is currently an independent public health consultant who for 40 years strengthened immunization programs at all levels, across 50 countries around the world. He worked primarily in Africa, Asia and within Newly Independent States. Robert has worked in smallpox eradication both as a Peace Corps volunteer in northern Ethiopia (1973-75) and also as World Health Organization Operations Officer in North Yemen. After playing a key role in eradicating smallpox globally, he went on to work for the World Health Organization for a decade, establishing nationwide immunization programs in North Yemen, Oman, and Nepal. After this he settled in for a 30 year career with John Snow Inc. (JSI), based in Washington D.C. At JSI, he led immunization teams on a succession of USAID-funded projects. While overseeing and providing technical support to countries, he also served on many advisory committees to organizations like the WHO or UNICEF. Robert retired in 2018 as Director of the JSI Immunization Center, which he also founded. He’s authored nearly 40 peer-reviewed journal publications and several book chapters on immunization and vaccine-preventable disease control. Need I say more, his impact on the world of public health is immeasurable. In this conversation, Robert meets the moment with grace and nuance, and pulls back the curtain on the intricacies of global public health. He also reflects on his experiences working and living abroad, both as a Peace Corps volunteer, but then also as a public health professional. We spend some time exploring what Ethiopia was like in the 1970s, talking through Robert’s work in eradicating smallpox in the country, but also shifting his focus to address famine and humanitarian crises at the same time. The granular details in his stories bring to life a cornucopia of personal experiences working abroad which provides a glimpse into the life of a public health expert. Whether you’re interested in a career in global public health, or you’re simply curious about Robert’s story, this conversation will not disappoint.

He’s helped to articulate and facilitate the Peace Corps journey for hundreds, if not, thousands of volunteers over the years. He brings a unique mix of humility and confidence to his work, always striving to improve the volunteer experience, be it before, during, or after service. In this conversation, we talk about Dan’s upbringing in rural Appalachia and his path toward an internationally-focused career.

My guest today is Jeff Butler. Jeff is an amazing and introspective person with many years of experience in film, storytelling, media production, and design. He is unparalleled in his ability to look deep within and share life’s lessons back out to those around him. Sometimes that happens through film and the scripts he writes, other times he invites you into his personal life by offering little pearls of wisdom along the way. Jeff is wise well beyond his years and in this conversation he paints a mosaic of experiences for you to enjoy as he talks through his personal and professional journey as a filmmaker, creative, and artist; all titles he categorically rejects. In this conversation we talk about his hometown Dewitt, Michigan, and how various experiences have shaped who he’s become today. We explore the canyons of adolescence and chart a path toward adulthood. He walks us through why he went to film school and reluctantly offers advice to aspiring filmmakers. We discuss the difference between narrative and documentary filmmaking and the various trade-offs and considerations with the two approaches to storytelling. He provides a look into a short film that he’s working on called “How We Doing Tonight?” which is about grief and evolution. We also make a brief pitstop, discussing a documentary project in which he filmed my family’s adventures running several ultramarathons in 2019, culminating in a 100-mile race near the end of the year. Jeff has much to offer, so I hope you get your popcorn for this one and have a listen! To connect with Jeff, follow him on Instagram: @butlejef2 How We Doing Tonight?

Evolving Through Travel Molly is a world traveller with a gift for storytelling, which allows her to bring years of travel experiences to life in a whole new way. She has a background in journalism, health IT, educational design, behavioral science, and user research. I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside Molly in her previous position within the Center for Academic Innovation at the University of Michigan, and by way of this work, I’ve really come to know who she is and what she stands for. What really strikes me about Molly is her facility to meet the moment. Whether in a professional setting, or an uncomfortable travel scenario, she’s a true master of communication and connection. She maintains a strong sense of humility coupled with a unique brand of awareness. In this conversation we talk about travel, diving deep into the minutiae of what drives Molly to explore. We also talk about behavioral science and motivational interviewing, two of my favorite topics, in which Molly puts a distinctive spin on as she connects these practices to an array of experiences traveling across contexts. I thoroughly enjoyed this one and I’m positive that you will too.

The Art of Travel. My guest today is Taylor Gallegos. He is my mentor, coach, friend, inspiration, muse, and so much more. Taylor is a painter specializing in murals and studio painting. His work focuses on unity, connection, love, environmentalism, and creativity. He’s particularly talented in portraiture with an uncanny ability to capture the essence of people deep within the artwork that he creates. His creativity knows no bounds. As a professional artist his work has ranged from large-scale murals to portraits like I mentioned to abstracts in the studio to live art, mostly in the fields of painting and drawing with acrylics and oils. As we talk about in this episode, his work as an artist has taken him across the world, he’s been on tour with musicians, studied abroad in Italy, and travelled the world with an artistic eye. Taylor is also a talented and articulate storyteller, as you will experience for yourself in this episode and recently he combined those talents with his artistic acumen to launch his own very successful podcast called “Art and Life with Taylor Gallegos.” I’ve been fortunate enough to feature as a guest a few times on his podcast and I really enjoyed the experience. This my friends, is what led me to create the Techawat with Benjamin Morse podcast; the notion of bringing folks together in this medium to explore and share breathtaking stories about travel was just too good to resist! In this conversation we talk about art, and we also peel back the layers of travel. Taylor emphasizes the role of mentors both as a young traveler and ultimately as an artist. He is a true seeker and offers sage-like advice when it comes to taking the next step on your hero’s journey. One of things I truly respect about Taylor is his ability to embrace the moment and jump into the unknown. To get in touch with Taylor, connect on Instagram, Facebook, visit his website, and listen in to the Art and Life with Taylor Gallegos Podcast.

Finding Harmony Through Grit. In this episode I speak with Sonia Howell of South Bend, Indiana about her pursuit of genuine self through travel, resilience, grit, and humility. Sonia, who is originally from Drogheda, Ireland is fittingly a Senior Producer at Notre Dame Learning. We first met in a professional capacity while working on an online educational project, which was centered around the people of Puerto Rico and the impact that 2017’s Hurricane Maria had on the island. Both working with Sonia and by getting to know her personally, I’m truly better off as a human and I’m impressed with not only her ability to connect with those around her, but to harness those connections into meaningful impact. In this conversation, we talk about the value of education and taking a chance on investing in yourself and your future. She describes the profound ways in which education has transformed and continues to transform her life today. We talk about mentorship, and the role that it plays in helping each of us chart our heroes' journey. We talk about how her travel’s have helped shape who she is today, touching on her experiences competing internationally in karate and her shift into marathon and distance running and the ways in which these athletic endeavors have both helped and hurt her on her journey. We also talk about how the pandemic has forced people, organizations, countries, well just about everyone, to look deep within. When things fall apart, we have hidden opportunities to build things back in a way that far surpasses where they were before. There is a lot of great insight in this one, and I’m excited to share it with you.

Jeff Butler is a regular on the show and together we welcome Tony Kelley, a retired Fire Battalion Chief, former President of Missouri State Council Of Firefighters and Firefighters Local 152 president. We decided to tackle the recent insurrection, some local 4 By 4 beers and our various opinions on all kinds of stuff. Tune in for an hour with two informed guys and one idiot* *it's me, I'm the idiot. 

First, let me say welcome to the conversation, it's great to have you here! I’ve decided to embark on this journey as a way to reconnect with some of the most influential people I’ve met in my life and to share their stories with you. I’m here to bring people together from across different walks of life to discuss the things that really matter and explore the depths of revolutionary change brought about by travel. Travel ignites change. It helps us identify what’s important and empowers us to dissect and challenge the status quo. Wherever you are on your pursuit of greatness and authenticity, this podcast will embolden your dreams and inspire creativity. I couldn’t be more excited to have Bernard Smalls as my first guest. Bernard is an animating and brilliant individual who’s always been able to inspire those around him. As we detail in this episode, Bernard and I first met on October 3, 2011 as we were getting ready to embark on a two year service as Peace Corps Volunteers in Ethiopia. From the moment that I met Bernard, I knew we’d be lifelong friends with a storied history. In this conversation we talk about our relationship over the years from simple acquaintances to best friends (Bernard officiated my wedding, to another Peace Corps Volunteer). We unpack Bernard’s story, from being born in Germany to an African American military dad and a white German mother. We sort through Bernard’s heroic and ever-evolving journey exploring what identity means across culture, religion, context, and time. We discuss what it was like to be an LGBTQIA+ individual abroad and across cultures and how he’s been able to embrace his authentic identity through struggle and resilience. We also touch on environmental education and the future of our planet, our younger generations, and what Bernard is doing to affect positive change in his community. This one has it all, so proud of Bernard for stepping into his most authentic and genuine self for this episode. I hope you enjoy it!

Entrepreneur Jeff Butler launched a successful speaking career and then wrote two books - The Authentic Workplace and The Key to The New You – to enhance his credibility as a speaker and grow his income.  Most entrepreneur-authors write a book and then begin speaking. Jeff did things in reverse. And while this approach might not work for everyone, it was the key to Jeff's success.   He fell in love with speaking after finding his career as a computer scientist in Silicon Valley limiting.   “The problem was I wanted more control,” explains Jeff. “And on top of that control aspect, I also wanted to do something that was going to push me to the brink . . . let's see what I can really squeeze out of this thing called life.”  Jeff soon found his passion. He gave a few talks and, despite his initial fear, got a massive buzz from the experience.   “I realized I wanted this for the next 10 to 20 years of my life. It hit me . . . The ability to convey an idea in a high-risk situation really appealed to me,” he says.   But there was one big problem. Jeff wasn't a great speaker.  But with help from Toastmasters, he worked hard and honed his skill, to the point where he gave impressive and persuasive talks, easily holding the attention of an audience. Today, Jeff's entire business is built around speaking.  TOP TAKEAWAY: SPEAKING AND BOOKS ARE A LUCRATIVE COMBINATION  Jeff decided to write a book when he realized that by becoming an author he would increase both his credibility and income. As an entrepreneur with a book, he knew he could land more speaking gigs and grow his business.  “I went into the corporate world, and I realized that I didn't have a book that really encompassed what I was talking about on stage. And I thought it could be an easy way of, let's say, mutual sell, where they book me, and they can also buy books as well. And that's when I wrote The Authentic Workplace”  While most authors need to spend time building an audience, Jeff already had a following from the dozens of talks he'd delivered over the years. With his books readily available at events, he realized strong book sales. And at corporate events, a dozen or more or his books would be bought in advance for execs and managers.  Jeff chose the self-publishing route after weighing out the pros and cons of the traditional route. He used a consultant to help him publish on Createspace, now Amazon KDP.   His combination of books and speaking has led to phenomenal success, to the point where he was actually contacted by Wiley Publishing to write a book with them. Wiley had researched Jeff's performance as a speaker and were impressed with the number of people he spoke to  in 2019. As excited as Jeff was about this opportunity, he calculated he'd be on the losing end of this deal and could earn more by self-publishing, and so in the end turned it down.   In this episode with host Josh Steimle, Jeff also goes into detail about how he develops his bullet-point book outlines and why the outlines mean he never has writer's block. He also explores the tools that help his creativity, and how he's been busy with other ventures since the pandemic hit.  LINKS  Twitter.com  Linkedin.com  Facebook.com  Instagram  JeffButler.com  Jeff Butler's books: The Authentic Workplace and The Key to The New You  Also mentioned in this episode:Desde el Exilio: A Collection of Poems from the Exile (Spanish Edition), by Arcaniam/Marianna Guédez Forgiarini  SUBSCRIBE TO PUBLISHED AUTHOR PODCAST  If you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to subscribe.

As we get closer and closer to one of what will surely be the most raucous elections in modern history, it was time for multi-appearing guest, friend and co-worker Jeff Butler to drop back in and give us his take on the political landscape. Even with the Catholic Church changing its stance on same-sex unions, landing a craft on an asteroid and the government actually ACKNOWLEDGING life out there in the universe, nothing seems to capture our collective thoughts like this polarized political season. Enjoy an hour with an informed soul over some great fall beers!

With all of the chaos worldwide and nationally happening, I finally decided to jump back into the fray and get the thoughts and opinions of my friend Jeff Butler, former Navy SEAL and CIA Field Officer as well as current Fire Department coworker.

Having written over 100 articles on workplace dynamics, his insights have been featured in dozens of media outlets such as Forbes and HR News. In addition, he has appeared on TEDx in both 2016 and 2017 with both talks focusing on psychology. Before Jeff founded his workplace consulting company, he spent almost a decade in Silicon Valley working as a Software Engineer which is where his initial interest in organization psychology began to develop. Since then, he has personally addressed over 100 organizations internationally on workplace dynamics issues such as Google, Amazon, LinkedIn, and Wells Fargo. He lives in Boston, MA with his family.

Enjoy an informed hour with one hell of a guest.

How do you avoid all of the madness that is our current national political scene? You really don't, but beyond the all of the talking heads, "hot takes" and bullet points, the scenario warrants serious thought....how did we get here? What are the options? How is Trump leading the country while smashing through the delicate political relationships that are our international currency? Jeff Butler makes another appearance to guide a hothead like me through how we got here, what might happen and his perspective on it all. Enjoy an hour over some 4 By 4 growlers as we hash through it all! 

104 The One on Generational Diversity Episode 104: Show Notes Never before have we had 4 generations working together in the same workplace.  So, it just stands to reason that we would have issues in dealing with multiple generations working together (in that same workplace) that we have never had to deal with before.    Today’s guest is Jeff Butler.  Jeff is an expert when it comes to understanding the generations.  He uses his expertise to help the Scaling UP! Nation understand what the generations are and how we can work better together.  He especially goes into understanding Millennials better from their mindset.  Join me as I find out more about understanding the different generations.  Key Points From This Episode: Different Generations [0:07:04] Generation X [0:09:29] Multi-Generation Common Issues [0:15:02] Outdated [0:19:03] EOS (Entrepreneur Operating System) [0:26:06] Motivate the Millennial [0:29:02] Power of Social Media [0:34:27] And a lot more!

If the "WHAT" is great, the task is actually being done, that's fantastic." @iamjeffbutler @traceblackmore #scalinguph2o #scalingup #scalinguppodcast #scalingupnation #TheOneonGenerationalDiversity  #GenerationalDiversity #Millennials #ScalingUPto10#ScalingUPto10 Links Mentioned on this episode: Jeffery Butler on LinkedIn   Jeffery Butler on Twitter  Jeffery Butler Company Website  Books:  The Key To A New You   The Authentic Workplace  Judgment in Managerial Decision Making Never Die Easy: The Autobiography of Walter Payton The Medal of Honor

Based on a few technical & legal glitches, the last two weeks of the show have been a bit chaotic; thankfully, ever-popular guest Jeff Butler was gracious enough to step up, step in and give us his take on the Big Chapstick Conspiracy, Lent, and how his version of Heaven includes The Backstreet Boys. Tune in for a rambling & funny conversation with a great friend and gifted writer. 

Jeff Butler is a speaker, author and passionate millennial who helps organizations improve their relationships with millennial employees. You may have seen on him on Forbes, USA Weekly, or on the TED stage. A native Californian and raised in Silicon Valley, he graduated from UC Berkeley with a degree in Computer Science. During his time in college, he was training for the Olympics under 3 time Olympian Tore Gustafsson, but left that pursuit because software engineering paid more. Unlike other experts on millennials, Jeff has been in the trenches of what it means to be a millennial and what it takes to retain and keep them engaged. With Jeff ‘s versatile background, he has addressed companies like Amazon and Google as well as thousands of professionals across the North America.

His was THE most downloaded podcast episode of 2018, so it makes sense that I would invite Jeff Butler back for another round behind the mic to weigh in on today's divisive political climate. As a former Navy SeAL, CIA Field Officer and with an undergraduate degree in International Politics and Master's degree in History, it makes sense that this well-rounded Springfield Firefighter (Rescue Specialist, to be sure) brings a perspective that is informed, funny and moves beyond the bumper-sticker rhetoric of these times. It was fun to share a pint, a laugh and some traditional chops-busting to these trying times. Tune in!

On this episode, Corey sits down with millennial generation expert and technology speaker, Jeff Butler, to talk about why millennials aren't really as bad as you think. We hope. Also included near the end is a fascinating conversation about Jeff's parents who have been able to work side by side for decades without killing one another which, in 2018, is an incredible achievement. You're also going to LOVE the section about WHO really created the propaganda that millennials are terrible employees - listen, it might just change your mind. Maybe.
