Episode 106 - Kenny Barnwell - Touring The World and Making it all Work on the Road - Parenting Via FacetimeParenting while travelling the world seems almost impossible, Kenny takes us behind the curtain - get a v.i.p. backstage pass to life on the road and being a Dad, here on Dad Space.In Kenny's words: I like to say that the event business rescued me because before I started my event production career at 18 years old in Atlanta, GA as a Stagehand. I was a high school drop out, homeless, and strung out on drugs. Production work was medicinal for me in the early days.As a Stagehand, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do yet, so I worked my ass off in every area of production, from Audio, Lighting, to staging, and learned as much as I could.I then spent time bouncing around as a freelancer and stagehand doing gig after gig, honestly thinking my new career is turning into a J.O.B.Same stuff, different gig. I was working hard and doing the work I loved, but not in the capacity in which I wanted to. I wanted to go on tour, travel the world, and work directly WITH the tours, like the touring crew I've worked around while I've been a local crew hire.I felt like I had plenty of experience, just needed some direction, or know someone, or...? I just wasn't sure.One day I was working a gig as a Stagehand and a touring crew guy I was working with gave me a bit of coaching that changed everything for me.He gave me the bit of clarity I was looking for. That bit of advice and encouragement fueled a spark within me that set me on a path to finding my passion for Backline and Production Management.Since, I've built a 20+ year career working on tours in Backline, and as a Stage Manager, Production Manager, and Tour Manager on tour with artists such as Travis Tritt, Trace Adkins, Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber, Bon Jovi, Chris Isaak, Amos Lee, Sara Barellies, Seal, Stray Kids, Korn, Jonas Brothers, and more.I'm the co-founder of a concert promotions company in Tampa, the author of two career development books, creator of two online career courses, and I'm a career/life coach.https://www.crewcoach.co/___https://dadspace.ca/

Jason Belmonte is an Australian professional ten-pin bowler, and indisputably one of the best in the world.    He plays on the PBA Tour in the US and is only one of 11 players in history to win 25 PBA titles. His PBA victories include a record 13 major championships. He is one of two bowlers in PBA history to have won the Super Slam, winning all five PBA major titles.    He has been named PBA Player of the Year 6 of the last 8 years, including being the overwhelming choice in 2020. Belmonte accumulated $1 million (USD) in career PBA earnings faster than any player in history and has 25 career 300 games in PBA Tour events through 2020.   Jason is nothing short of a legend on the lanes. But, that success hasn't come without certain sacrifices. Playing in the United States while his family is based out of Australia means that he has long stints, sometimes up to 3-months at a time, away from home. As a family man who holds his family relationships in extremely high regard, this has been the most challenging aspect of achieving world-class status at his craft.    So in this episode we dive into that, how Jason prioritizes his family even when he can't be there in person, how he creates quality time with each of his 3 (soon to be 4) kids, and much more.    Links mentioned in this episode: JasonBelmonte.com @jbelmo on Instagram @jbelmo on Twitter @jbelmo on TikTok   Music Credit: Rob Riccardo (robriccardo.com)

Celebrity Stylist, Mommy Influencer, and all around AMAZING woman Ali Levine shares how she keeps up with her crazy but incredible life!

Phil Smoker finds himself in a unique situation these days. The fifth generation to build Smoker Craft boats, Smoker has seen his company average about 20 percent growth since rebounding from the recession in 2010. He’s had to hire a lot of people to keep up with that growth. And now for the unique part: His company is located in Elkhart County, Indiana, where about half of all the RVs in the country are built. The unemployment level in Elkhart County is 2.4 percent – just under half the national rate. So Smoker, whose company builds several different brands of fishing, utility and pontoon boats, has had to get creative in order to attract and keep good employees. In this episode of “What’s Working with Cam Marston,” Smoker shares with us how he’s been able to do that – and competitive hourly wages are only part of the equation. Yes, in a county where $40-per-hour salaries were not unheard of, competitive pay is of utmost importance. Smoker says he’s lost employees to competitors in the area who offered as much as $10 more per hour. But he also says he’s won many of those same employees back by creating a more attractive work environment. A family-focused atmosphere, facilities upgrades and generous bonuses, healthcare plans and vacation policies are part of that environment, but so are more trend-bucking initiatives such as the creation of smoking areas and permitted use of earbuds to listen to music while working. Smoker shares other challenges of operating in a county where the workforce is stretched thin, such as busing in employees, taking a more generous view of job-hopping applicants, and dealing with poaching – including the hiring of employees from suppliers. The concessions and perks that Smoker and other employers are offering to bolster their workforce today may become standard expectations for workers in the future. Join us for a timely discussion of what that could look like.

So you’ve followed the advice my previous talk with Jake Desyllas and set up your own basic productivity system. You know that a system like that is not a pedantic badge of honour, but is in fact the best way to add actions to your ideals – to LIVE your values. You also know the three components of any successful productivity system: Capture: Get things out of your head Review: Check everything regularly Organize: Put things in their right place You probably are in a happy place - so allow me to flame some dissatisfaction. At this phase, your system can be quite clumsy. That means more effort. More effort is more fragility - will you be able to keep things going when you a hit a lower motivation cycle?   I've invited Jake Desyllas of The Voluntary Life podcast once again to help us sharpen the edges of this new set of tools we are building together. Make Your Reviews Easier How do you make sure everything's covered in your weekly review? And how do you make sure you actually do it? A Handy Checklist Going through these steps will give you the confidence that you aren't missing anything: 1. Clear the decks Get all the emails, text messages (known as Inbox 0) and social media that slipped through. Everything relevant must be in your capture system (notebook, index cards, Evernote etc.) before you start. Remove old notes from the system itself if needed. 2. Look at your projects list A project is anything composed of more than one step. It's really helpful to keep a list of these so you know everything's moving forward. Looking through it weekly will generate most of your next week's tasks/to-do list. 3. Review your ideas Now that the past and present is under control, look towards the future. It's well-worth keeping lists of someday/maybe projects, to-read lists, ideas lists - this where things will go when the inspiration strikes for things you'd like to do in the future. Check on these as part of your weekly review - maybe the time is now for something and exciting! Jake likes to do step one and then step two and three separately, since they require a different mindset - one is a more administrative kind, the other a more strategic and visionary one. Making Sure You Actually Do It As with everything else, habituation is very powerful (maybe necessary) to get this done week by week. Pick the time and day that makes sense in your life. This could be a great time to put some great work music on, or even go to a nice cafe (just don't tell me about it). I like pleasant company, so I've got a running weekly appointment with my buddy Nick Hazelton the Anarcho-Yakitalist where we do a large part of this process together. This has been by far the most successful approach that I took and it made not missing weeks really easy. You can get some inspiration on how different people do this by looking up the early episode of the Getting Things Done Virtual Study Group podcast. Not Just Weekly Weekly reviews aren't meant to cover everything. Different intervals make sense for different parts of your life. Consider including a quick morning recap into your start of the day where you overview what you can accomplish today (if you are going to the city, check to see everything you need to get done there etc.) and pick out the most important tasks of the day (three is a popular number). Jake's and I both do financial reviews on a monthly basis - might as well have that in your system too! I also have month plans, prepared near the end of the month for the next one. Yearly reviews are also a very powerful tool for big picture overview. Even the dreaded New Year's resolutions are a form of recurring review. Better Tools There's always a risk when adopting something more complicated. In Jake's own words: “when you feel you can trust them" (19s) That said, there comes a time when you want something more organized and efficient than a simple notebook or note capturing software. In some cases, it's about learning to use what you have better, other times it's about learning about something entirely new. Paper-based I'm not a big fan of paper (my handwriting comes out pre-encrypted) but many prefer the simplicity, ease of use, and even elegance that comes with a physical, paper-based system. Probably the biggest downside of simple using a notebook is that is very hard to quickly and easily overview what's going on. Notebooks are designed to be used in a linear way, start to finish, where a good productivity system is more like Lego. Inbox 0   Index Cards ...to the rescue! They have been and are used to great effect - they're easy to add in or discard, they are sturdy enough to written on almost anywhere. If you don't mind a little bulk, consider transitioning your capture system to them. Hipster PDA Bullet Journal On the other hand, bullet journals solve the problem of notes being lost in a notebook by implementing a very clever system of transfer and review and push the medium beyond what I though was possible:   Digital Digital has some strong arguments for it too. Most people will have a smartphone on them at all times, whereas carrying paper has to be habituated. Your data in cloud is very unlikely to get lost, get wet or burned down. The truly powerful benefits get unlocked with more learning though (and that's a rabbit hole engineer-minded know all too well ;) ) #call #Nick about the #yaks when I'm #sad People who try contextual lists rarely go back. It's really, really convenient to be able to look with one click at everything you want to do: At a certain time (eg. everything I want to get done tomorrow) At a certain place ( eg. when in Rome, ask for their to-do lists) With a certain tool (eg. list of annoying neighbours when I'm driving my monster truck) With a certain person (eg. everything I need to talk about with a coaching client) In a certain mood (eg. things I can still make happen when low on energy after work) etc. The problem is, I don't want to copy and paste my yak consolation call idea on 5 different lists, digitally or otherwise. That's where something like Evernote's tagging system comes into play. I can take a single note, and add any number of contextual tags to it. Feeling better already! I got this idea from The Secret Weapon website. Brett Veinotte at School Sucks has also talked about his Evernote system. And Finally: All Singing, All Dancing If you are ready to take the leap, you could go all out and just purchase and learn to use a tool such as Omnifocus (Mac/iOS) or alternatives, such as MyLifeOrganized (Win/Mac/Android/iOS). These tools can be quite overwhelming, but have a very wide range of features, which you can see in their sales copy on their websites. If you are into systems building, you will probably really enjoy these apps. I've not yet tried these out, but Jake swears by Omnifocus. Continue With If you want a review of the basics of productivity as a laid out in conversation with Jake, you can choose to listen to p, or the audio-enhanced article based on it. David Allen is the creator of Getting Things Done, and also of Ready For Anything and Making It All Work. Jake recommends all three of these for further reading. Another book recommended by Jake is Manage Your Day to Day, as well as the Power of Less as a counterpoint to Getting Things Done. And of course, if you haven't already, see Jake's own The Voluntary Life podcast for concise, high value productivity. He'll teach you more in 20 minutes than others will in hours. It's All In Your Hands If you've been hitting roadblocks with running a consistent productivity system, this is your opportunity to make it better. Cycles in life are natural,  but having a system see you through them makes the downturns a lot more manageable - even enjoyable? I've found that the hardest times are not when I'm not creating as much as I'd like to, but when I lose my sense of being in control of my life. A productivity system that sticks with you even in the difficult times will help you take advantage of lulls, and turn them into great opportunities to relax and recreate without panic. If you take Jake's advice, you can improve what you are doing out of a desire for more efficiency and impact and also give a loving, caring gift to the future you that might need a little bit more help when the going gets rough.

Want to be more productive, achieve your long term goals, have work-life balance, and find meaning and purpose in your life? These things can be yours! David Allen's books are the tools you've been waiting for. In today's show, Jake Desyllas joins me as we do a book review of Making It All Work, the best seller from David Allen. Allen is the creator of the time management/productivity system called Getting Things Done (GTD for short). Making It All Work is a companion book to GTD.

Marketing, Communications, SEO, Public Relations, Promotions, Trade Shows — lots of arrows handled by many different archers out there but how does a company change their approach from a hit or miss arrow here or there to a volley that blacks out the sun?  Ok, a little too much Game of Thrones there but you get the point — how do we bring this stuff together for maximum impact and effectiveness. That’s the subject of today’s show and of course we’ll also touch on Who’s Winning and Losing out there.  So join me for the knock-down drag out fight of the century as marketing faces off against communications for control of the throne.  

Feeling overwhelmed?  This talk from David Allen is a wonderful overview of the keys to control & perspective. Includes participant Q&A at the end.
