In this inspiring episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, host Andy sits down with Rashmi Chaturvedi, a trailblazer in the technology space and an advocate for women in STEM. Rashmi shares her remarkable journey—from her early beginnings in India to becoming a respected leader in digital transformation and entrepreneurship in the United States. Early Beginnings & Bold First Steps Rashmi opens up about her initial challenges as a young professional arriving in the U.S. with little knowledge of the local work culture. Fresh from completing her master's degree in India, she took a bold leap by applying for a role at Nextel. A series of unexpected events—starting with a delayed connecting flight and a van accident—set the stage for a defining moment. Despite arriving late at a closed office, Rashmi's determination led her to insist on speaking with someone. A senior executive, who happened to be the only one still working in a lit corner office, not only listened but immediately offered her the job. This serendipitous experience taught her the importance of persistence and trusting one's gut. You will enjoy her video on Youtube: Climbing the Corporate Ladder at Nextel & Disney After proving her mettle as a database administrator at Nextel, Rashmi's journey took her to Disney, where she immersed herself in a culture known for both technical excellence and inclusivity. At Disney, she encountered one of her most influential mentors—a senior woman whose authoritative presence and drive left a lasting impact. Their informal yet transformative mentorship sessions (often initiated in unexpected places like a restroom) helped Rashmi expand her perspective from strictly technical expertise to a broader understanding of business strategy and customer-focused innovation. This period not only reinforced her technical abilities but also ignited a passion for leadership and holistic business thinking. Entrepreneurship & Building KAYGEN. After a decade with Disney, personal challenges at home—most notably caring for her ailing daughter—became a turning point. Realizing the need for a more flexible work-life balance, Rashmi embraced her entrepreneurial spirit. With encouragement from her supportive husband, she launched her own data management practice, which later evolved into  KAYGEN. The company, whose name is inspired by the Japanese word Kaizen (continuous improvement), reflects her vision of blending technology with business strategy to drive sustainable competitive advantages. Under her leadership, KAYGEN has grown exponentially, even earning recognition on the Inc. 5000 list. Empowering Women in STEM A key theme throughout the conversation is mentorship and the importance of representation. Drawing on her own experiences of isolation in male-dominated tech environments, Rashmi has launched the UpTempo Careers program. This initiative focuses on guiding women returning to or advancing in STEM fields through job coaching, mock interviews, and mentorship from top executives. By fostering a community where women see themselves represented in leadership roles, she believes that more women will feel empowered to pursue and thrive in STEM careers. Key Takeaways Perseverance Pays Off: Rashmi's early experience at Nextel is a testament to the power of persistence. Mentorship is Vital: Finding role models and nurturing relationships can transform a career. Embrace Change: Whether it's a career pivot or launching your own company, change can lead to growth. Invest in Community: Supporting underrepresented groups in STEM builds a stronger, more inclusive future.

Send us a textLawyers were two of Fairfax, Northern Virginia criminal defense lawyer Jonathan Katz's early inspirations on the taijiquan / tai ch'i ch'uan path, those being the late Victor Crawford and this episode's guest, Leonard "Len" J. Kennedy. Vic was an energetic and engaging lawyer, who early in Jon Katz's criminal defense career told about his years-long practice of this martial art. Seeking a personal breakthrough, a few years later, Jon asked Vic to recommend a taijiquan teacher. Victor mailed Jon pamphlets about several teachers, including Glen Echo taijiquan. There, Jon learned from Ellen and Len Kennedy who met as students of Alice and Robert W. Smith, the first western student of Cheng Man Ch'ing, who was fundamental in bringing taijiquan to the United States and spreading its popularity for serious study and practice. Ellen and Len have also studied with Benjamin Pang Jeng Lo (who has also taught my later taijiquan teachers David Walls Kaufman and Julian Chu), whose local sessions I have attended several times. Len Kennedy is a communications lawyer who became general counsel of Nextel and Sprint, and later became the first general counsel of the Consumer Financial Protection Board. In this episode, Len discusses how he has integrated taijiquan into his life and very demanding career, and how criminal defense lawyers and criminal defendants can achieve more by engaging in wise action rather than brute force. Here are some great words of wisdom from Len to me and his other students during his teaching sessions: "No hurry, no worry." "When you are fatigued, do t'ai chi." How do you deal with change? Do you resist the change, or work with the change? When you are standing still, what is still moving? (Your blood, breath, heart and cells, for instance.) Separately, Len has said that internally, during one of "those meetings," the t'ai chi practitioner does t'ai chi, through relaxing and sinking into one's chair or into the ground if standing. Len says: "T'ai Chi is a skill, an art and a Way that promotes internal growth, sensitivity through development of the heart, mind and spirit. Practice helps us to 'become what we are' in the words of the Greek poet Pindar and a human being in the fullest sense in the words of Professor Cheng." He sums it up with: "Move daily, Breathe deeply, Live fully." This podcast with Fairfax, Virginia criminal / DUI lawyer Jon Katz is playable on all devices at podcast.BeatTheProsecution.com.

In 1979, as the Iranian Revolution swept through the streets of Tehran, Younes Nazarian and his wife Soraya Sarah made the decision to leave behind a successful construction business and move their family to the U.S., ultimately landing in Los Angeles. His youngest son, Sam, was only 3 years old at the time, but he watched his dad build a new life in America.  Younes' business acumen led him to become an early investor in technology company Qualcomm and eventually chairman of Nazarian Enterprises, which focused on a variety of interests in the private, public, and real estate markets.SBLike his father, Sam, showcased a formidable drive. A smart, athletic kid, he played baseball and basketball in high school and college before attending NYU's Stern School of Business. By 23, Sam had become the country's largest distributor of Nextel, a wireless digital communications provider. A year later, he ventured into hotel real estate, buying the Avalon Hotel in Beverly Hills, California. By the time he was 26, Sam had invested in 10 hotels and had even dipped his toes into film production on the side.In 2006, he launched SBE—Sammy Boy Entertainment, a callback to a childhood nickname. After a series of successful nightclub venues, the first SLS hotel in Beverly Hills opened, a testament to his vision of blending F&B and nightlife into a cohesive luxury-meets-lifestyle experience.As the SBE brand grew, so did Nazarian's ambitions. In 2020, he sold the company to Accor, and this January, he announced HQ Projects, a strategic partnership with Wyndham that provides hotel owners with the freedom to craft their own hospitality stories.Thank you for listening!

Do you remember life before Beepers, CB Radios, and Fax Machines? All three gained momentum and popularity in the '70s and '80s and peaked in the '90s. However, all three fell victim to mobile phones. Beepers became text messaging, faxes became email, and CB radios became Nextel phones and then standard mobile phones. Artificial Intelligence is about to completely disrupt how your business is found on the internet, making it harder for small—and midsized businesses to stand out and be found. It will affect consumer businesses more than B2b businesses, but it will continue to get harder, not easier. But there is good news. You can still take action to make sure you and your business are actively seen by companies that need what you sell. I think creating a symbiotic relationship between your sales and marketing teams and between your sales and marketing data makes sense. You may need to hire (internal or external) to help manage the data and the sales relationships and create reports to help your company's sales and marketing teams identify trends and opportunities, and maybe avoid missteps.

The Nextel Conundrum: Originally established as a convenient communication solution for small businesses, Nextel swiftly expanded its services to include cellular telephony.    However, the positioning of Nextel within the RF spectrum, sandwiched besides public safety frequencies, combined with its network built for capacity, led to unprecedented challenges.    The dense clustering of Nextel sites interfered with public safety radios, prompting the necessity for rebanding. Rebanding entailed a complex realignment of frequencies to mitigate interference issues. This intricate shuffle involved relocating Nextel closer to cellular carriers while carving out exclusive bands for public safety entities. This relocation of the 800Mhz public safety spectrum, known as rebanding, posed a significant problem for scanner enthusiasts who monitored many Motorola trunking systems in the 800Mhz band.   The impact of rebanding reverberated through the scanner radio community, rendering many radios obsolete overnight.    Today, we still need to be aware of systems that are operating in the rebanded spectrum and ensure our radios are programmed correctly to monitor these systems.   ====================================

The 2004 NASCAR Nextel Cup Series season was one of the most interesting seasons in NASCAR history. 2004 was the first year of the NASCAR's first ever venture into the playoffs, sending NASCAR into a new era. But there was so much more to that season than just creating a playoff format. 2004 would also see the end of Winston as the title sponsor of the Cup Series, that would usher in Nextel. 2004 also saw the Southern 500 move to November, Labor Day weekend racing move to Southern California, and the final race at Rockingham. In Episode 1 of NASCAR Live Presents: 2004: Chasing History we'll chronicle several of the major changes made following the 2003 season and remember one of the Daytona 500's greatest triumphs.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

According to research from Gartner, only 34% of change initiatives are a clear success. So how can enablement leaders help sales teams effectively navigate change and overcome challenges?Shawnna Sumaoang: Hi, and welcome to the Win Win Podcast. I’m your host, Shawnna Sumaoang. Join us as we dive into changing trends in the workplace, and how to navigate them successfully. Here to discuss this topic is Kris Richardson, the senior director of sales and partner enablement at Apptio. Thanks for joining us, Kris. I’d love for you to tell us about yourself, your background, and your role.  Kris Richardson: Sure, thank you, glad to be here. I’ve been at Apptio for about eight years. My role is I’m responsible for all of the sales training, not only for our interns or sellers but also for our partners. My background is actually in sales, I started years ago. Instead of going to med school, I started with a company called Nextel selling phones to businesses. I found myself interested in training my customers and from that, started into sales training, and I’ve been in this side of the business for about 25 years now. SS: Well, we’re excited to talk to you, Kris. Apptio has been a long-time customer of Highspot, but before Highspot, your team leveraged a different enablement platform. Can you tell us a little bit about that experience and maybe some of the challenges that your team faced at that time? KR: Yeah, it was quite the experience. It was not a good experience for our sellers. It was a very, what I call, bland interface. So, it was a poor user experience. They couldn’t navigate very well. The search didn’t work very good. For anybody that was trying to create content, which was mostly our team and the marketing team, it was very, very clumsy. It would take sometimes hours just to stand up one little section with, some text in it, in a link. So, that was very difficult. And then, we didn’t have a lot of analytics. We couldn’t see, what are the things that our sellers were looking at? What was driving them to certain pages or certain content? Without that information, we didn’t know what was working. So, we were just putting up everything we could every day and hoping that our sellers were clicking into it. SS: How have you been able to solve some of those challenges that your team is facing since implementing Highspot? KR: I think the biggest was the ease of use. Our sellers love the internet-style paging, they’re used to that. They’re always searching on their phones and on the internet themselves. Seeing the buttons, and being able to click on an image or a button and get to what they need. Being able to just navigate, and search super easily. The search engine with Highspot is so powerful that we can tag certain items and it will populate exactly what a seller is looking for whether they put in the right information or not. And then going back to what I said in the previous question is that for our folks that are building “spots”, what Highspot calls their pages, it's really easy to stand up a new spot. You can literally copy something else that happened a few months ago, change a few things and you have a new version of that that looks refreshed and updated. And then finally the biggest is that we have the analytics to see what our settlers are looking at and what they’re not looking at. So we can take that information, it allows us to promote the items that seem to be really popular, and then archive the items that aren’t being used. SS: Amazing. Now, as a little bit of background, I think Apptio recently went through an acquisition, and I think we all know MNAs can often present a lot of change for sales teams. What were some of your best practices for helping your reps really navigate that change? And, and how did you leverage Highspot to help? KR: The first thing we did was stand up a page directly related to the acquisition, a lot of questions, a lot of moving parts, so we made on our home page, the landing page when folks come into Highspot. Our sellers see a big banner that basically says, “Hey, here’s where you need to go”. Once they click into that, we had all of the relevant guides, any calls that were held. So the recordings of those calls, any PowerPoint decks or slides that were used in those calls, any relevant guides related to the acquisition. So it was super easy for them to find that just by going to the homepage, they could click in there, and get what they need to, to stay up to date on the changes. SS: Absolutely. And even throughout all of that change, Apptio had a fantastic recurring usage rate with Highspot. I think you guys were at consistently 80%. What are your best practices for driving adoption?  KR: Well, we put almost everything that a seller needs on Highspot. With my background in sales, we always think of where would a seller go to find this? What would they search for? And we promote and serve up the things that they’re going to use most often that that’s going to be most useful for them in their day-to-day job. So anything critical gets put onto the homepage. That could be any call that we have any content that we want to promote. And then we have a series of enablement calls. We have at least one a week. Sometimes we have three to four, they could be role-based calls. They could be regional calls. They could be sales skills or process calls. But every time we do a call, we promote. On those calls. Hey, what’s new in Highspot? We have slides and we talk about what’s new and what they can find. And then as soon as that call is over, we post those links to those calls and those decks right there in Slack, and through email. So everybody knows if they need to find something, they go to Highspot. So, I think that’s what drives the usage for our sellers. SS: That’s amazing. Shifting gears just a little bit. One area where you guys have also seen really high adoption is sales plays, and you’ve touched on them a little bit. You guys have 69% adoption. Tell us about your sales play strategy. How are you leveraging plays to effectively guide your reps on how to land a lot of your key strategic initiatives in the field? KR: It really starts with onboarding. Sales plays are a key part of what we call our Ignite and Spark seller onboarding. And so every time somebody goes through onboarding, one of the key elements is we point them to the sales place. We want to get them used to it right away, going to find content on Highspot. Some of the activities might be, go look at a certain piece of content on the sales play and then go apply it, whether they do a role play with a mentor or their manager, maybe they are filling out some seller prep content and they’re sharing that with us through onboarding. So they immediately know to go to Highspot because of that. Anytime we also have a product change or maybe there’s a new persona that’s buying the products that we’ve never really dealt with before, perhaps a new competitor that has emerged those sales plays get updated. So anytime there’s new information out there, we try to get to the sellers through the sales place. And again, continuing to promote anytime there’s updates through Slack calls, et cetera. And then finally, I’d say we use the sales plays a lot of times for prerequisites for training. For example, we have our sales kickoff coming up in two weeks. And part of that is, “Hey, we’ve updated the sales play for this product, or that product.” Go review that before you get to the sales kickoff. So again, driving that, that a constant need to go there to get the information they need has been, I think—one of the factors for success with the adoption of reviewing sales plays. SS: Absolutely. And you touched on this a little bit, but as your business has experienced a lot of change, how do you keep the plays updated and optimized over time? KR: Well, I think we’re lucky in that we have a product marketing team and they have very specific folks that own each of those sales plays. So they tend to be the people that are in the know. So they know when there is a new competitor. Maybe there’s new objections that are coming out. They know when, you know, new personas, they know there’s new updates to our products. So they’re the ones that can make those changes as soon as possible. We also filter feedback from our sellers. So if the sellers are seeing stuff, those get filtered right to the product marketing team. And again, they have that ownership. The other thing is we’d like to pull the data to see. What are the sellers doing on those sales plays? What are they looking at in those plays? Are they remixing any of the content? Are they pitching any of that content? And if they’re not using some of that content, can we just get rid of it? Can we move it off there? So the sales plays nice and clean and constantly looks refreshed. So I think that makes it, makes it easier when sellers can get in there. There’s not, they’re not overwhelmed. They see the information they need and know they’re going to use, and they can also say, Hey, that’s, that’s new content that’s updated. And so they constantly go there to find that new information. SS: I love that. On the topic of optimization, I noticed on LinkedIn that you mentioned you focus on moving the needle against key business outcomes, such as win rate and quota attainment. How do you measure the impact of your efforts on these types of metrics? KR: I mean, I think in general, it starts with onboarding. We make sure that our sellers complete their full onboarding program, that Spark or Ignite program that I mentioned. We also make sure that we review their activity. What are they doing and how does that correlate to the pipeline that they have? And then ultimately, how does that correlate to win rates and their success? We want to make sure they’re not just getting lucky, that they’re doing the work. They are learning, they’re honing their craft, honing their skills, and they’re applying that by having calls, conversations, meetings, et cetera, pitching things from Highspot so that the pipeline, the activity, the knowledge results in those win rates and, and quota attainment. SS: How has your usage of Highspot helped you influence some of those metrics, and do you have any wins you can share?  KR: Yeah, I mean, I would say as it relates to Highspot, one of the big things that we look at is the scorecards. Are reps active in Highspot? What are they doing in there? Are they reviewing new content? Are they honing their skills? Are they building their knowledge? If they are, we know that they’re more likely to succeed. They’re more likely to close deals because they have the knowledge and skills to be able to do that. We want to make sure, are they remixing content. Are they downloading content? Going back to the pitching, that’s super important. Are they pitching content? What’s working? What’s not working? Then we can share that information with other sellers so that we can say, “Hey, look, Bob over here has been pitching this particular set of materials. And he seems to be getting a lot of meetings.” It’s, it’s great for us to share that. So I think looking at those metrics helps other sellers in addition to just the ones that are really active in Highspot. SS: Amazing. Chris, since we have just turned over to a new year, as a closing question for you, looking at the year ahead, what are some of your team’s top priorities, and how do you plan to leverage Highspot to help you achieve these? KR: Yeah, I would say Highspot is critical. As we mentioned, we were acquired by a company in September. Some of the organizations, not all, have gone through what we call transfer of employment. So some of us are actually employees of that company. That gets to be difficult when not all of your employees are. So we’ve got to make sure that everybody’s on the same page. Again, that’s why we put everything on Highspot that’s why we’ve stood up this page in particular about what’s happening, what’s coming, what’s new. But we’re about to go do a transfer of business. That means everybody in the company will be employees. Everybody in the company has to operate under this new company’s guidelines. And so I think the good thing for us is all of our sellers know that our processes have been consistent. Our sharing of information has been consistent and that’s been through Highspot. By putting the information in Highspot, sharing it in Highspot, they know they can always go there to make that change management a little smoother. I say us personally as a sales enablement team,  and a partner enablement team, our goal is to really improve our search results and that goes back to tagging, and sharing like content. We do a pretty good job of it, but we have a lot of authors, and we need to get them better at it. We have a whole, what we call governance committee that gets together, an author committee making sure that they are doing the things that our team does to make sure the search is great, that sellers can find what they want quickly. And then finally, it’s really about getting rid of stuff that’s not being used, archiving content, because if you don’t stay on top of it, you could have a huge library and people are finding stuff that’s not relevant. So making sure that everybody that is authoring stuff is archiving old stuff, and just keeping the new stuff front and center. SS: Wonderful. Well, Kris, again, thank you so much for joining us today. I really appreciate it.  KR: Yeah, thank you so much. This has been great.  SS: To our audience, thank you for listening to this episode of the Win Win Podcast. Be sure to tune in next time for more insights on how you can maximize enablement success with Highspot.

Hey there! I'm thrilled to welcome everyone to the Life and Listings podcast. In this episode, I had the pleasure of having my friend Charis join me, hailing all the way from California. We go way back, and having her here today is truly exciting. Charis shared an incredible journey, starting from Southeast Texas, where she kick-started her career in real estate by chance. Her trajectory led her through different positions, each more challenging and rewarding than the last, culminating in her role as Vice President of Sales at NextHome. The story of how she joined NextHome is fascinating—a journey filled with negotiations, skepticism, and a persuasive CEO. What struck me most was her dedication to empowering small and midsize brokers in the real estate industry. Charis's insights on branding, technology, and connecting with clients using unique strategies like the 'orange dog' mascot were enlightening. Her passion for NextHome's culture and how it transcends across the company, even down to the wardrobe choice at conferences, truly stood out. Additionally, she opened up about a period in her life where she felt lost and how a recent hire, Jim Fischetti, brought a remarkable transformation. Jim's presence and quiet command made a significant impact on Charis, helping her find her footing once again. Overall, it was an engaging conversation, touching upon culture, branding, personal struggles, and the power of influential mentors.   Episode Highlights Charis shared her journey from Southeast Texas to becoming VP of Sales at NextHome, emphasizing pivotal career moments. She highlighted NextHome's unique branding strategy, focusing on the 'orange dog' mascot to stand out in the real estate market. Charis discussed Nextel's vibrant culture, fostering unity through unified attire at conferences. She spoke openly about a personal struggle and how a recent hire, Jim Fischetti, helped her regain confidence professionally. The conversation covered insights on mentors, branding, company culture, and the impact of influential hires on personal and professional growth. “You know what all of the things that you think about yourself, no one else thinks like that. You know, I always felt like my biggest failure is the fact that I never got a college degree. And that was always something important to me. I could have been, you know, one of the first people, you know, in my family to go to college, you know, but it's like, well, yeah, but you went in the military, like, that's an achievement. Yeah, but I didn't get my degree. I didn't have that piece of paper on the wall that valid.”   Connect with Jennifer Staats: Website: staatssolutions.com Instagram - Staats Solution: https://www.instagram.com/staatssolutions/ Instagram - Jennifer Staats:https://www.instagram.com/jennifertherealtor LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/staatssolutions/ Connect with Charis Moreno: FB: facebook.com/charis.nashmoreno Li: linkedin.com/in/charisn Nexthome.com

About Kevin Snow: Kevin is the Owner of Time On Target, a sales expert, and a serious technology geek who knows how to help his clients take their automation game to the next level. With a 20+ year career in business development working with brands like Frontier Communications, Nextel, Salesforce, and BNI, his knowledge, skills, and understanding of communication and technology are getting real results for the businesses he works with. Kevin knows how to integrate digital technology with your sales process authentically and professionally. He'll show you what's been missing in ensuring an effective outreach and trust-building system: part entrepreneur, part salesperson, part technology master, and part Star Wars fan. Check out the latest episode of our Conversational Selling podcast to learn more about Kevin.In this episode, Nancy and Kevin discuss the following:Transition from teaching to selling.Kevin's story of pursuing what he studied in college and winding up going in a different direction.Increasing sales by understanding and optimizing the sales process. Kevin's tips on being in touch with prospects through automation.Why Kevin does not chase clients?Selling is making it all about prospects, not about salespeople.Key Takeaways:  One of the things that we must help business owners understand when I work with them is that sales are just a series of conversations with an outcome.As a business owner, I don't have time to chase clients.Sometimes, it's just easier to let them go.You understand the pain that I'm going through as a business owner, and you have a potential solution.I know that with all the stuff I have going on with two different companies, a couple of podcasts now, and all the other stuff going on in my life, I can't have this huge pipeline filled with Hopium."When we do it for a company, all those automation emails come from whichever salesperson is supporting that prospect. So, it sounds like it's coming from the person they know; we're working on that relationship, it's no longer; we've all gotten those emails where it's like, "Hey, we want you to schedule a meeting with our sales team." "I already have a meeting with your sales guy tomorrow; why are you still sending me this stuff?" And it impacts the relationship because you're like, well, "Do they even know what's going on with me? And how important am I if they're not able to manage this type of communication? " – KEVIN." The conversation needs to be about what I call the Afters. How are you going to leave that prospect after they do business with you and become a client? What is the quality-of-life change that you're going to give them? How do you keep them from being awake at 2:30 in the morning thinking about work or thinking about family stuff or whatever the issues are that you can solve? I see that a lot of people think, "It's got to impress them with all my accolades." And honestly, none of us care." – KEVIN. "Sales are just having a conversation with someone. It is literally just asking questions and getting them to talk about themselves and then being able to dive into what they're sharing and help them solve stuff. The best salespeople I have ever encountered who have been able to get me to buy are pulling out all the issues I'm having. And then saying, "Well, have you thought about this? What if we did this type of thing?" and they're laying out solutions for me where I can see, "Oh yeah, that would help." As opposed to what a lot of people, especially in the tech field, do is lay out features. And I don't care about features. I care about how it's going to fix my problem. So, that's the thing that people need to remember. It's literally about diving into your prospect's world and leaving them better, even if they don't buy from you if they're in a better position to fix stuff, I still won because they'll remember me later." – KEVIN. Connect with Kevin Snow:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevinesnow/  Time on Target:https://www.time-on-target.com/Try Our Proven, 3-Step System, Guaranteeing Accountability and Transparency that Drives RESULTS by clicking on this link: https://oneofakindsales.com/call-center-in-a-box/  Connect with Nancy Calabrese: Twitter: https://twitter.com/oneofakindsalesFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/One-Of-A-Kind-Sales-304978633264832/Website: https://oneofakindsales.comPhone: 908-879-2911 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ncalabrese/Email: leads@oneofakindsales.com

On the season finale of the Dale Jr. Download, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and co-host Mike Davis sit down with one of their most highly anticipated guests to date: former NASCAR CEO Brian France. In 2002, RJ Reynolds announced it would be pulling its Winston branding as a title sponsor for the NASCAR Cup series after 30 years. Not long after, Bill France Jr., the CEO who oversaw that era stepped down from his position of power. With the organization at a crossroads, Brian arose to the occasion and helped fill the void of his father's absence while ushering the premiere stock car division into its modern-day state. From 2003 to ‘18, many changes took place on Brian's watch that molded NASCAR racing into the motorsport that we watch today. The Dirty Mo crew and listeners alike were eager to have Brian to the Bojangles Studio hot seat to discuss what he felt was a success and a miss during his tenure at the helm of the organization. His education in running an empire began at an early age while growing up in the shadow of his father Bill Jr. A place in the shadows of giants is something that Dale Jr. and Brian can relate to, and the two recall how their fathers were certainly allies but never close friends.Once of age and eager to work, Brian took a position working at Talladega Superspeedway. He became fascinated with the business side of racing and in the 1990s he went on to manage Tucson Raceway Park and work at NASCAR's Los Angeles office. His tasks included capitalizing on NASCAR's flourishing west coast fanbase while strengthening its connection to the entertainment capital of the world, which resulted in NASCAR's integration into the mainstream television and film industry. After helping to negotiate NASCAR's first national television package deal in 2001, the stage was set for Brian to try his hand at leading the sanctioning body.Dale compares Brian and Bill Jr.'s leadership styles and what it's like having one strong character making decisions versus an entire committee of voices. Brian says he recognizes that many of the changes NASCAR has gone through over the last two decades may be alienating to longtime fans, but insists that the intention was always to promote growth through progression. He explains that NASCAR leadership often looks into untapped markets and develops strategies to help bring new fans into the fold including races in new markets, its diversity programs, and collaborative efforts with other sports and business entities.In 2004, NASCAR along with its new title sponsor partner Nextel introduced the Chase for Cup playoffs system, which would radically alter the traditional points championship structure. Brian explains that the desire to create “big moments” in points racing inspired the inclusion of cutoff lines and races. They discuss how the Playoffs field was expanded from 10 to now 16 and the events that occurred over the years to influence those decisions. Brian admits that a lot of the structuring came from looking at how other sports leagues officiate their playoff systems and what effects it has on their respective championships.Since Dale was an active competitor during Brian's time in charge, he was anxious to get his insight on one of the most polarizing developments in the last 20 years: the Car of Tomorrow. Making its debut in 2007, the CoT was intended to increase competition while improving safety initiatives, but it became regarded as an inferior machine by drivers and fans. Brian admits that he viewed the car as a mistake and wishes that he would have gotten more input from the drivers and teams in its manufacturing. The conversation also touches on the Jeremy Mayfield scandal, the 2013 Regular Season finale at Richmond, Brian's lack of presence at the races, and his 2018 arrest. Download listeners can expect a candid look at one of motorsports most influential leaders in modern history, as well as insight into the decision-making that shifted NASCAR into a household name.
