A farm town kid with a tiny amp, a bandana from Stagecoach, and a promise to take one more swing at the dream—Tyler Rich sits down with us to unpack the road from Northern California to Nashville and what it costs to make something that truly feels like you. We trace the early wins and wipeouts: a record deal at nineteen, years of touring with homework due on a bus, an economics degree finished at warp speed, and the moment he turned down a safe, salaried future to chase a riskier one that wouldn't let him sleep.We go inside the writing rooms and the edges where craft gets sharpened. Mentors like Daryl Brown pushed his melodies and choices with sharp, priceless notes, while a DIY marketing blitz—thousands of cards handed out at shows and a brave DM hustle—built real fans one by one. That grit fueled a fast move to Nashville, where a culture of friendly competition and structured writing turned instinct into volume and voice. From there, the double album took shape: Poppy and Iris, a project anchored to state flowers and a life split between two homes. Cowboy Tears lifts like an anthem but breaks like a diary, a tribute to distance, devotion, and a bandana that never left his pocket. Redwood grows from wildfire science into a resilience song, proof that some things only get stronger after the burn.Independence was the next leap. Tyler walks through leaving a label, rebuilding his team with fresh eyes, and releasing twenty-plus songs that aim for the gut instead of the middle. The connection shows up in rooms—fans crying, him crying—especially when Dogs Don't Die helps people carry the love that remains. That song sparked a new lane: children's books that translate courage, grief, and selfhood for young readers. We preview Leave The Wolf Wild and Fred Under The Bed, and look ahead to a co-headline tour with a rock powerhouse designed to bridge country heart and rock muscle.If you love stories about craft, risk, and the long route to your real voice, this one's for you. Hit play, share it with a friend who needs courage today, and if it resonates, follow the show, leave a review, and tell us which song hit you hardest.

 "So one thing I never do is try to start giving remediation or advice before I truly have understood and diagnosed the problem."  Mentorship and certifications don't replace experience—but they can accelerate it when paired with the right mindset and a disciplined approach to learning. Nella Fergusson, CWT (District Manager, Southern California, Garratt-Callahan), lays out what "growing up" in industrial water treatment actually looks like: repeated exposure to real problems, strong diagnostic habits, and a willingness to keep learning long after year one.  Learning that keeps you employable  Water treatment evolves. Nella contrasts today's challenges with what she faced 15 years ago and explains why complacency is the fastest path to getting left behind. She describes water treatment as industry-specific by nature—food processing cooling and commercial real estate operations don't behave the same, don't shut down the same way, and can't be serviced the same way.  Diagnosing before prescribing  Her troubleshooting process starts with questions: the system's history, what changed, when symptoms appeared, and how critical the impacted use is. She emphasizes water sampling across different times of day and refuses to offer remediation before a proper diagnosis—because misdiagnosis creates extra problems instead of solving the original one.  Career decisions, culture, and the 80/20 risk  Nella shares a candid career detour: leaving Garratt-Callahan for GE Water/Suez, then realizing quickly what she lost—support, resources, and "family"—before returning. She frames many job moves through an 80/20 lens: chasing a missing 20% can cost the 80% that already works, especially when recruiters' incentives don't align with yours.  Credentials that signal competence—and protect end users  Nella explains why she pursued the CWT: an industry-agreed benchmark that reflects years of varied problem-solving. She also discusses ASSE 12080 recertification and why correct sampling, shipping, labeling, and interpretation matter—particularly in Legionella and water safety work. Customers may fear testing; she argues the goal is to find risk where maintenance is weak, then build site-specific procedures that facilities can actually sustain with their staffing. Stay engaged, keep learning, and continue scaling up your knowledge!    Timestamps    02:22 - Trace message: CWT prep course + planning for 2026  09:17 - Water You Know with James McDonald  10:48 - Upcoming Events for Water Treatment Professionals   14:49 - Interview with Nella Fergusson, CWT, (District Manager, Southern California, Garratt-Callahan)  16: 27- Ongoing education + how the industry has changed  21:06 - Nella's troubleshooting approach: history, what changed, sampling, impact, don't prescribe before diagnosing  31:00 - Nella's 80/20 rule for deciding whether to leave a company  34:22 - Why she pursued CWT + value of certifications in the industry  40:15 - Getting results immediately + confidence while testing Connect with Nella Fergusson Email: nfergusson@g-c.com  Website: http://www.garrattcallahan.com/   LinkedIn: Nella Fergusson, CWT | LinkedIn     Guest Resources Mentioned   ASSE 12080 Certification – ASSE International  Why ASSE Certifications Matter – Garratt‑Callahan  Impact of Cooling Tower Downtime in Food & Beverage Operations – Aggreko  Scheduling Off‑Peak HVAC Maintenance – Facility Response Group  Parenting the Strong-Willed Child: The Clinically Proven Five-Week Program for Parents of Two- to Six-Year-Olds, Third Edition    Scaling UP!

Why Do So Many Mentorship Relationships Fail Before They Ever Work? “You can't be more committed to somebody's success than they are.” That insight comes from Colleen Stanley, author of Be the Mentor Who Mattered, during a recent conversation on the Sales Gravy Podcast. It's a simple statement that cuts through all the noise about mentorship and gets to the heart of why most mentoring relationships fail to deliver results. Sales professionals constantly talk about wanting mentors. They want access to someone who's been there, done that, and can show them the shortcuts. But when they get that access, they squander it. They show up unprepared. They argue with advice. They never implement what they learn. On the flip side, experienced sales leaders say they want to give back and mentor the next generation. But they get burned out after investing time in people who don't follow through. So they stop offering help altogether. The problem isn't a lack of willing mentors or eager mentees. The problem is that nobody understands their role in making mentorship work. What Mentees Get Wrong About Mentorship Most people treat mentorship like a magic pill, assuming that simply being near someone successful will transfer that success to them. It doesn't work that way. Getting real value from a mentor requires more than just showing up. You need to actively do the work that makes their guidance worthwhile. Start by focusing on these key actions: Ask Directly The biggest barrier to mentorship isn't that successful people won't help you. It's that you never ask. You assume they're too busy, too important, or too far removed from your situation to care. You're wrong on all three counts. Successful people got where they are because someone helped them along the way. Most of them want to pay that forward. But they're not mind readers. If you want help, ask for it directly. Respect Their Time When you do ask, come prepared. Don't ask for “15 minutes to pick your brain.” That's code for “I haven't thought about what I actually need, so I'm going to waste your time figuring it out.” Instead, be specific. “I'm struggling with qualifying early in the sales process. Could you share how you approach qualification conversations?” Specific questions get specific answers. Vague requests get vague responses—or none at all. Do What They Tell You to Do This is where most mentoring relationships die. You ask for advice. You get great guidance. Then you come back with a list of reasons why it won't work for your situation. Stop that. If you're going to ask someone for their expertise, try their approach before explaining why your situation is different. You're there because they know more than you do. Acting like you know better defeats the entire purpose. Your mentor's reward isn't money or recognition. It's watching you take their advice and succeed because of it. When you implement what they teach and come back with results, they'll invest even more in your development. When you make excuses, they'll move on. Take Tough Feedback Without Getting Defensive Not every mentor has read the latest book on constructive feedback. Some of them are direct or blunt. Take it anyway. When someone cares enough about your success to tell you the truth—even when it's uncomfortable—that's a gift. Don't reject it because it wasn't wrapped perfectly. The best mentors don't sugarcoat feedback because they respect you enough to be honest. They see potential in you that you can't see yet, and they're not going to let you waste it by staying comfortable. What Mentors Get Wrong About Mentorship If you're in a position to mentor others, you already know the frustration of investing in someone who doesn't follow through. It's exhausting. Eventually, you start to wonder if it's worth your time at all. Before you close yourself off completely, it's important to understand the common patterns that cause mentoring relationships to stall. Waiting for the Perfect Mentee There is no perfect mentee. Everyone who asks for your help is going to be rough around the edges. They'll make mistakes. They might waste some of your time. That's the cost of mentoring. The real question isn't whether someone is polished. It's whether they're committed. Are they showing up prepared? Are they implementing what you teach? Are they making progress, even if it's slow? If the answer is yes, keep investing. If it's no, redirect your energy elsewhere. Just don't let one bad experience make you cynical about everyone. Trying to Control Their Path Your job as a mentor isn't to create a clone of yourself. It's to help someone develop their own approach using the principles that made you successful. They might take your advice and apply it differently. They might adapt it to their personality, their market, or their selling style. That's not wrong. That's the point. Stay unattached to the outcome. You can't be more invested in their success than they are. Give them your best insights, support their growth, and let them own the results. Mentoring the Wrong People Not everyone needs your specific expertise. Some people need tactical help with prospecting. Some need strategic guidance. Others need coaching on emotional intelligence. Look for the multipliers. Mentor people who will take what you teach them and use it to help others. When someone you mentor goes on to mentor others, your impact grows far beyond what you could achieve alone. That doesn't mean only mentoring future executives. It means finding people who are genuinely committed to growth and generous enough to share what they learn. The Real Value of Mentorship Mentorship isn't a transaction. It's not about what you can get from someone more successful or what you owe someone less experienced. It's about creating a community where people help each other get better. Where progress matters more than perfection. Where tough feedback is welcomed because everyone knows it comes from a place of care. Having someone in your corner who believes in your potential—even when you don't—can be the difference between quitting and breaking through. But that only works if both sides understand their role. Mentees must show up ready to learn and willing to act. Mentors must show up ready to tell the truth and willing to invest. Find the mentors who will challenge you. Be the mentor who changes someone else's trajectory. Ready to take the next step in your development? Finding the right mentor or coach can transform your sales career—if you know what to look for.

We're back for more stories about the impact the David Eccles School of Business has on the lives and careers of our alums, and today we are sharing another success story of connections made through the David Eccles Alumni Network with Jeff Lewis and Alexandra Floor.Continuing our focus on mentorship and networking, Frances talks to Jeff and Alexandra about how they connected through the Eccles School, and how that connection led to an internship opportunity that created benefits for both Jeff and Alexandra. Jeff, a wealth management advisor at Northwestern Mutual and Founder/CEO of Gelder Generational Wealth, served as a member of the David Eccles Alumni Network Board for 15 years, and Alexandra, set to graduate from the David Eccles School of Business this spring, serves as the director of Mentorship for Women in Finance and vice president of recruitment for Alpha Phi. Jeff has been involved with the school as an alum and a mentor, while Alexandra shares her experiences as a student benefiting from these connections. They discuss the value of internships, mentorship, and the ways in which the alumni network fosters professional growth for both current students and graduates. Eccles Business Buzz is a production of the David Eccles School of Business and is produced by University.fm.Eccles Business Buzz is proud to be selected by FeedSpot as one of the Top 70 Business School podcasts on the web. Learn more at https://podcast.feedspot.com/us_business_school_podcasts. Episode Quotes:Alexandra reveals the real secret to building and growing your network[27:48] You're only as smart as the people you surround yourself by. And if you don't reach out to people who are smarter than you and intelligent and not in a negative way, but as students, there's so much opportunity out there. And for people with such high levels of experience, I mean, Jeff's been in the business for almost 30 years and for just taking that step to reach out and be around them and surround yourself, even if it's just lunch, even if you know it does turn into an internship, is the only way you're going to grow so significantly and build your network. Why experiential opportunities build student confidence[13:46] When you think about an internship, it's really that you're test driving a career, and you're doing it without high consequence. You're not going into it with this expectation of being there for years on end. You're going into it with the parameters that are dialed out, like in this case, a semester. In some cases, it's just summer. But I think that's where the opportunity lies with an intern opportunity: to really have the student engage in that experiential learning and do it in order to build their confidence and really stretch themselves because I think that's what's going to differentiate them, not only on a resume, but really in the marketplace to be able to say, “Look, I've done something; I've done something different here, and here's why I know I do or don't want to continue to do that.” And I think that's something that, from my standpoint, if we find out that it's not a good fit, we're going to hopefully help that intern find something else that's a better fit. And when I was mentoring some students years ago, when they started the mentoring program at the University of Utah formally, I remember being in the union, and there were so many students that wanted to have mentors, and I had a table of about 10 students. And I learned very quickly that some of them just really wanted to have that interaction, to have discussions, have conversations, and some of them just wanted to be walked down the road. Jeff reminds alumni that simply showing up makes a big impact on a student's life[25:58] It's always fun to have that connection with people that you just have been able to do some good with and to be able to raise money for scholarships or to be able to mentor incoming students or outgoing students or those that are right in the middle. So all of the above. And I would encourage anybody if they're having second thoughts about doing it, like, “Well, I don't know if I can really help.” There's always something you can do. Showing up is such a great thing. There are so many people that come up and just invest a little bit of time, and it really yields some great benefits for the students and all those that are participating.Show Links:Jeff Lewis | LinkedInJeffrey Gelder Lewis | Northwestern MutualAlexandra Floor | LinkedInDavid Eccles School of Business (@ubusiness) | InstagramUndergraduate Scholars ProgramsRising Business LeadersEccles Alumni Network (@ecclesalumni) | Instagram Eccles Experience Magazine

Maria LaMonaca Wisdom is a leading voice on mentoring and coaching in higher education. Her recent book, How to Mentor Anyone in Academia, offers methods and approaches to understand the mentor role. In this conversation, she articulates the differences among mentoring, teaching, and coaching, and the ways these coalesce in our work with students. Mentoring helps us value growth in a relationship as we bring our “whole selves” to the role. Maria emphasizes how to embrace revision and change as necessary in our career paths and vocational arcs. Mentors can help mentees realize their potential, asking important questions that illuminate motivations, values, and goals.

But passing on that knowledge has become challenging as baby boomers retire and younger staff take on those roles.On this episode, our two guests discussed how they used a mentor-mentee relationship to prepare for a job transition. Bernadette “Bernie” McNulty is the retired chief assistant secretary in the California Senate. Heshani Wijemanne is the current chief assistant secretary in the Senate.McNulty explained that, as a manager, she had a critical responsibility to not only find someone to take on her job but to be sure that person was as ready as possible for the challenges ahead. For her part, Wijemanne said learning and absorbing everything she could from McNulty was irreplaceable in preparing herself. ResourcesLegislative Staff, NCSL

Dans ce deuxième épisode de notre série sur les patients experts, je vous emmène dans les coulisses du soin : hôpital, recherche, formation des médecins… Ces sphères que l'on pense réservées aux professionnels s'ouvrent aujourd'hui aux patients. Marion Lanly (AP-HP) et Emmanuelle Hoche (Unicancer) nous montrent comment ces patients, devenus partenaires, transforment le système de santé de l'intérieur. Ensemble, on découvre comment leurs expériences intimes deviennent des leviers d'action collectifs. Grâce à des dispositifs structurés, ce partenariat redéfinit les rôles, les relations, et même l'architecture des lieux de soin. Un mouvement profond, concret, qui interroge aussi les limites de cette nouvelle place donnée aux patients.Dans cet épisode, on aborde :Comment les patients deviennent acteurs de la transformation hospitalièreLe rôle clé des aidants dans le soin et leurs difficultés d'engagementLes méthodes pour intégrer durablement la voix des patients (formation, co-construction…)L'impact du partenariat sur le sens du travail des soignantsDes exemples concrets d'ajustements grâce à l'expérience patient (architecture, soins, formation)Les défis liés à la reconnaissance et au statut des patients partenairesCheminements, c'est le podcast santé des femmes qui parlent de leur santé mentale, physique, et émotionnelle, sans honte, sans filtre et sans tabou.

Es geht um Mut, Persönlichkeitsentwicklung, die Kraft von Beziehungen, den reflektierten Einsatz von Tools wie dem LINC Personality Profiler (LPP) und warum echte Entwicklung immer die Lösung des Mentees ist, niemals die des Mentors.

I love having mentors.  Watching and learning as others navigate the world is one of my superpowers.  Sometimes I feel like a spy as I closely and quietly observe the behavior of others and think, “Oh, I want to be more like THAT.”  Because I love learning and growing personally and professionally, I have hired many mentors and coaches over the years - paying well over 6 figures to learn how to improve many aspects of my life.   However, some of the most important mentorships I've benefited from have been totally free and come from unlikely relationships.  In this episode, I talk about the mentorship I've received from one of my sisters-in-law.  On paper, our lives are wildly different.  We were born in different generations, have had very different career paths, and many different interests.  However, there is an overlap in some of our most important core values that has always made it feel like she just gets me.  That said, she approaches life with a quiet wisdom and deep curiosity that I don't have (yet).  I pay close attention to how she asks questions, how she listens with her head and her heart, how she speaks with compassion, and how she is never afraid to learn or try something new.  I'm curious for you, who are the people you already have proximity to who might be your greatest teachers, even though they lead a very different life than you?  And, what might happen if you were to identify and adopt some of their greatest strengths as your next stepping stones of growth?  Listen in to learn how to find and learn from these kinds of unlikely mentors in your life.  Links Mentioned: [Open Enrollment] Join Sara's Aligned Leadership Incubator: saradean.com/aligned Hire me to speak: saradean.com/speaking Coach with me: https://saradean.com/executive-coaching-services Connect with me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/saradeanspeaks Watch Shameless Leadership episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@saradeanspeaks Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of The Impostor Syndrome Files, we explore how to make friends in an era of loneliness. My guest this week is Dr. Linda Lin, a psychology professor at Emmanuel College who has spent more than two decades researching and teaching about mental health, happiness and well-being. Through her course, The Psychology of Wellness and Happiness, Linda helps students move beyond surface-level wellness tips to better understand what it really means to live a meaningful and connected life.Together, we talk about the shifting landscape of connection, especially for younger generations, and how technology, the pandemic and evolving social norms have made it harder to build and maintain authentic relationships. Linda shares what she's seeing in her own classroom, from once-lively chatter before class to eerily quiet rooms where students rarely interact, and how that reflects a broader cultural shift. Linda also breaks down the five essential ingredients of strong friendships and how we can use them to deepen existing relationships or build new ones. This conversation offers simple but powerful tools to help you reconnect with yourself and others.About My GuestDr. Linda Lin is an international expert on mental health who has conducted psychological research on well-being, body image, and health behaviors for the past 30 years and has published dozens of scientific journal articles and book chapters.

He is also a father, husband, and loves coffee and tacos. So with that, Chad, welcome to the Econ Breakthrough Podcast.Chad 00:00:35  Thank you for having me. Excited to be here.Josh 00:00:37  I want to ask you the question, Chad. You've you've gone through multiple exits. You have your own ecom brand. Why the focus on pricing and why is it so important at the end of the day?Chad 00:00:48  Yeah. So. Well, firstly, the reason why I was focused on price was that I was trying. I'm trying. I'm still working through it. I've been working on turning around my e-commerce business. It's been deteriorated over time. Didn't get a lot of love for me as I've been building other initiatives in my life.Chad 00:01:03  And so, you know, for me, I optimize spend and my ACOs, and I've been optimizing our conversion rate and my listings itself and the infographics on those listing pages. But the one thing that's driving the most to the bottom line is a very small lever, and it swings big doors, but it's not being swung with price. And I just couldn't understand why. Like if we have a $10,000 ad campaign, you would never leave it on. You would never leave it on optimized, you'd always be optimizing it. So why is nobody optimizing price? Because it's a it's hard to understand and it's very manual. And by the time you make the change to the price, the market shifted. So this is why I focus on it. And it's a juicy it's a delicious problem.Josh 00:01:50  It really is. And it can provide I mean it's a huge impact to your bottom line, right? If you want to, you know, increase your bottom line, the best way to do it is just by raising your prices.Josh 00:02:01  Says Roland Frazier, one of the previous guests that we've had on the show. One of the things that he does first, when he acquires any businesses is he simply raises prices. Because to your point, so many brands do not touch their price. They're too scared to be honest with you because they're like, well, I like sales where they're at. If I raise them, you know, 10%, 25%, I'm going to lose it. All right. And I think I actually fell in that camp prior to all of the inflationary environment that we've been in recently with Amazon continually increasing their FBA fees. You've got manufacturers increasing, you know, the cost of goods that you're purchasing from them. ACOs is going up ads. So with all of that, like our back was against the wall, although I felt like, hey, 1999 is kind of the that's the tipping point. You go over the $20 like you cross that mental bridge of $20 and something cents Since all heck is going to break loose, right? And I'm just going to be in a downward spiral, lose my market share.Josh 00:03:08  And on the contrary, we raise the price by $5, increase the price by 25%, and still maintain we were currently the number two best seller in that entire product category. Didn't move a needle. We stayed right there. Now we've got more profit coming to the bottom line. So I want to ask you the question, Chad. Like, are you seeing the same thing with a lot of the clients that you're working with and these early users of the software, that there is more room to increase prices on Amazon, and it's not affecting organic rankings or it's not a spiral downward. Or are you seeing the opposite true of hey, really like lower your price? Yeah, you get margin compression. But man, you you shoot to the roof and you stay locked in in those top positions. What what have you seen.Chad 00:03:57  Well, okay. So Profasee in general is about maximizing profit without sacrificing your BSR. So there's a lot of people in the Amazon space that say, just raise prices. And that's a lot of times could be reckless advice and insight, right? Because like, pricing isn't one size fits all.Chad 00:04:14  And yes, pricing needs to change. But the question is should it go up or should it go down because you can increase price and that may offset demand and you can lower price. It may spur demand. It'll increase ...

I stopped taking arbitrary advice from every mentor I hired and started using discernment like a weapon in my business.For a long time, I was consuming every module, every audio, trying to implement everyone else's strategy .. & completely lost myself in the process. I forgot how I built my first business: throwing spaghetti at the wall, trusting my own ideas, making it up as I went and becoming a professional by coaching and leading, not by perfectly copying someone's framework.Inside this episode, I break down:How “acting like a follower” quietly erodes your brand, your voice, and your authorityWhy most coaches feel stuck in their content (it's not that you don't know what to say it's that you don't trust what you have to say)Why evolving in front of your audience is a power move, and why people hide when they're not proud of how they lead behind the scenesThe client case study who dropped her best-ever micro-offer after we stopped over-strategizing and let her trust the idea that actually felt aliveHow I use transparency, self-responsibility, and my own real-time leadership as my funnel and why clients pay to be in the slipstream of thatIf you're done contorting yourself to fit every mentor's “one right way” and ready to build a brand that actually feels like yours this is the calibration.If this hit and you know you're done building your business on other people's brains, RQ1 is your next move.Three months with me actually tightening your capacity, leadership and offer strategy in real time .. not in theory.$333/month or $1000 paid in full.

In this episode of Your Yes Filled Life, I'm pulling back the curtain and getting very real with you. If you've been feeling anxious, scattered, or unsure - and maybe even wondering if there's something wrong with you - I want you to know this: you're likely not overwhelmed, you're overloaded. You're carrying energy that doesn't belong to you, and it's burying your intuition and your peace. I share candidly about the past two years in my business and life - the failed launches, the chronic over-giving, the hard pivots, and how I'm making different choices now. You'll also hear what I'm changing in my work, why I'm closing Your Yes Filled Life group program, and how I'm creating spaces like The Reset Retreat for intuitive, empathic leaders who want to stop absorbing everything and start trusting themselves again. If you've ever been told you're “too sensitive,” if you feel everything, or if you've silently wondered why things still feel so hard even when you're “doing the work” - this one is for you.
