Sam Caucci is the Founder and CEO of 1Huddle, a company focused around improving employee training through the usage of games. Sam got his start in the sports industry after signing to play football at the University of Alabama, helping to train and keep players up to standard during the offseason. After 10 years in the sports industry, Sam started realizing that the medium for employee training wasn't up to the standards it should be. In response, Sam founded 1Huddle, working to combat the stereotypical training experience and create a better way to train employees to their maximum potential. In this interview, Sam talks about learning through games, tech as infrastructure, and treating employees like customers.  Learning Through Games   "There's a real power to play. Play is not trivial."   Although it may seem unconventional, it has been proven that learning through games is one of the best ways to learn. By applying these ideas to employee training, not only does it engage employees more than the typical e-learning or classroom setting, but it also gives them opportunities to learn more content at the same time and train their brain from a wide range of lessons, rather than quizzing directly after learning.    Learning through games is also universal by using the style of trivia. Trivia is a kind of game that spans across all generations, allowing for the learning language to work for employees of all demographics. In addition, this allows for the games to be more educational and train the brain with predictions and reinforcement.  Tech as Infrastructure   "Organizations need to be learning environments."   There's too much power in tech to keep it away, and it's important to adapt and allow for tech to become part of your company's infrastructure. By embracing tech and its capabilities for training, it allows for an open stream of communication to provide feedback and clarification to employees.    In a world where employees feel like management is becoming more disconnected, if an employee were to give a recommendation on a question for trivia through an online portal, it allows for a positive interaction to occur regardless of the outcome of their recommendation. This allows for the employee to have a great learning experience and for the manager to get more connected to their employees.  Treating Employees like Customers "What if you treated your employees like customers? What decisions would you make?"   By treating your employees like customers, they feel more incentivized to go above and beyond the typical standards. Instead of having mandatory training, making it voluntary and having rewards could make a massive difference in employee engagement and their connection to their managers.    By allowing your employees to have fun, play, and learn without the shadow of ‘mandatory attendance', they can become valuable assets to the company and feel appreciated and connected. Furthermore, this increases the odds of them referring a friend, which is the most common way Gen Z has been searching for employment.  To learn more about 1Huddle, you can visit their website here.

Focus on the role you're playing in it.Wake up every day and focus on living in the present and facing the situation you're in now. Whatever you're doing now, perform as if nothing else matters. Your growth and progress will naturally emerge from that mindset.[19:53]Find the ‘Why' In Your ScheduleAre you spending your time doing things that are true to your purpose?Look at the last four weeks in your calendar. As yourself: What percentage of your time, in all those meetings and conversations would you say brought you closer to your ultimate purpose? If you're not happy with the number, it's time to start adjusting.[35:14]People, Not OrganizationsWhere you put your focus is where you'll make an impactSam doesn't focus on organizations, brands, or companies. You won't find the word ‘company' anywhere in his mission statements. People drive everything, and he focused on powering people above all else. That's his ‘why,' and it's taken him to where he is now.[41:30]Make the Tent BiggerConnection is the fuel that powers successTo bring about change, you have to let in more perspectives and ideas. The goal isn't just to squeeze more people into your existing space, it's about making the space bigger and more inviting to more kinds of people. [47:06]A 5-Minute Call That Took All MorningWhen disaster strikes, how do you respond?Sam shares the story of the day he gathered his company on a Zoom call to announce they were shutting the office down due to COVID. What was supposed to be a short call turned into a long conversation with no business purpose— it was just about people sharing what was on their minds and in their hearts. It transcended business and became something more.RESOURCES:[00:28]: Purpose Labs[1:10]: 1Huddle[4:42]: Not Our Job, by Sam Caucci[42:29]: New Jersey Reentry CorporationMAKE A PLAY:If all of your responsibilities were taken care of financially, and you had a blank canvas in life ahead of you, what would you like to spend the rest of your time working toward?Send Paul your answer via a DM on your social media platform of choice, or email paul@paulepsteinspeaks.com.

“Racism is expensive, sexism is expensive, ableism is expensive. Gen Z is going to force us to care.” For the first time, we have two guests joining us on Bring It In. Chisa Egbelu and Kayla Michèle are the co-founders of PeduL, a marketplace where corporations can diversify their workforce with scholarships. PeduL, which is based here in Newark, is the one-stop shop for scholarships. PeduL's mission is to ensure that all students have equal access to academic and professional opportunities. It was founded on the belief that investing resources into society—especially our youth—will create a more sustainable and prosperous world. Chisa and Kayla joined forces while they were classmates at Rutgers and soon became a power team. PeduL started out as a crowdfunding platform in 2018, but Chisa and Kayla realized that crowdfunding inherently assumes students have access to a network with money. So they went back to the drawing board and came up with their universal application for scholarships where students can apply to thousands of local and national scholarships at one time through one application. And that's what PeduL does. As fellow Newark business-owners and changemakers in their community, Chisa and Kayla had a lot of powerful insights to share when they sat down with Sam Caucci on this episode of Bring It In. They talked about everything from what's preventing companies from being as equitable as they could be to how we can create sustainable progress in our workforce and in our society.

“As the first that also means the only. Not everybody wants to see change; not everybody wants to see your face, because it's the face of change.” In one of the most powerful Bring It In episodes yet, Sam Caucci sat down with Jen Welter, the first female coach in the NFL who has spent her life breaking barriers and shattering norms in the sports world and beyond. Coach Jen is best known for being the first woman to coach in a men's professional football league. She's also the second woman to play on a men's professional football team, and the first ever female running back. Following her time in the NFL, Coach Jen became the Head Coach of the first Australian Women's National Team fielded in July 2017, and she wrote her first book “Play Big, Lessons in Living Limitless from the First Woman to Coach in the NFL.” In addition to being a sports legend, Coach Jen is also a powerful advocate for gender equity both on and off the field. She founded Grrrridiron Girls flag football camps to not only give girls the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of flag football, but to immerse the next generation of women in Jen's wave of empowerment, self-confidence, and sisterhood. Coach Jen has truly done it all; she has two Gold Medals with Team USA, four World Championship wins, and eight All-Star selections. She's also an accomplished scholar who holds a PhD in Psychology and a Masters in Sport Psychology. When Coach Jen sat down with Sam, they talked about what was going through her head as she was breaking through barriers, why being a truly successful coach all comes down to communication, how Coach Jen has got to where she is today, and much more.

The Tao of Sports Podcast – The Definitive Sports, Marketing, Business Industry News Podcast

The role of the sales trainer is not just to motivate, but to understand fully how the sales process works, how to diagnose weaknesses in a sales staff. Sales Huddle CEO Sam Caucci has developed his training method through the listening process, working with various sports franchises in order to help them build revenue in a more effective manner. Caucci talks about how a lot of the executives view sales through some older metrics, and what alternatives exist in order to help show a sales person's success in the modern world. Caucci also discusses whether phone sales, social selling and various aspects of the sales process have a validity in today's sports franchise when selling the sports product. Twitter: @SamCaucci
