Hard situations are unavoidable — family stress, grief, shared responsibilities, conflict, holidays, work projects, or major life transitions. What is optional is letting those moments damage the relationships that matter most.In this episode of This Daring Adventure, we explore how to move through hard situations without losing connection, compassion, or yourself in the process.This episode offers a grounded, practical framework for navigating emotionally charged situations with intention and care.Rather than focusing on fixing others or controlling outcomes, this conversation centers on self-leadership: managing your thoughts, processing emotions, allowing discomfort, and choosing how you want to show up — again and again.This episode is for anyone who wants to build strong relationships, even when life feels messy, heavy, or overwhelming.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeIn this episode, I share 10 principles to help you navigate hard situations while protecting and strengthening your relationships:Why setting an intention for the relationship changes everythingHow the story you tell yourself shapes your emotional experienceHow to choose how you want to show up — regardless of others' behaviorWhy rehearsal and visualization help you respond instead of reactHow to release control over others and reclaim control over yourselfWhy discomfort is not a problem — it's part of meaningful connectionHow processing emotions regularly prevents resentment and burnoutThe role of compassion for both yourself and the other personWhy this work must be practiced repeatedly, not onceHow to recover when you mess up and begin again without self-judgmentKey Topics CoveredNavigating relationships during stressful or emotional situationsManaging family dynamics and conflictEmotional regulation and intentional livingPersonal growth during hard seasonsCompassion, boundaries, and self-leadershipHow to stay connected under pressureReflection QuestionsWhat hard situation or relationship am I currently navigating?What do I want the relationship to look and feel like when this is over?What story am I telling about the other person — and is it helping me?How do I want to show up when things feel uncomfortable?

Brett Kemp is the President of Flood & Peterson, an employee-owned insurance brokerage since 1939, and the strongest market share among property & casualty insurance brokerages in the region.  With career chapters in the Air Force, pharmaceutical sales, and manufacturing, Brett was a darkhorse candidate for ascendance to leadership. Aaron Eide visited Fort Collins almost exactly 25 years (to the day!) before we recorded this podcast.  He's a UND graduate and came through the same Credit and Management Training program at Community First National Bank as yours truly - only a few semesters later.  Aaron had come out to scout out an apartment and see the town before moving to Fort Collins weeks later.  I gave him the nickel tour, took him out to see some live music at Lucky Joe's and then to Elliot's Martini Bar - and we don't remember much after that!  But/and - though we only worked together for about a year and in different offices - we've maintained a professional relationship through all these years, and that's part of the theme of today's podcast.  Brett's prior experience in the military, and in manufacturing, and likewise Aaron's career in credit and banking gave them added perspective on business and risk - and especially, people - that propelled their career growth.  Lot's of great business and relationship sales content in this one, and a bit of inside-baseball on the insurance industry, and three guys who all moved to the region in a short span of time - giving us a shared perspective - and so please enjoy, as I did, my conversation with Brett Kemp and Aaron Eide.  The LoCo Experience Podcast is sponsored by: Purpose Driven Wealth Thrivent: Learn more

In today's episode, Dr. Killeen unpacks a powerful principle that shapes great teams, families, and leaders alike: pairing high expectations with high support. From a real-life story about accountability after a car crash to lessons we can apply in our practices, he explains why believing in someone's potential isn't enough—you also have to walk beside them as they grow. Learn how to strike the right balance between challenge and encouragement, and how that mix can transform both your leadership and your relationships.

Trust isn't a “soft” metric—it's the conversion engine. Buyers don't buy products first; they buy us, then the solution arrives as part of the package. Below is a GEO-optimised, answer-first version of the core human-relations principles leaders and sales pros can use today.  How do top salespeople build trust fast in 2025? Start by listening like a pro and making the conversation about them, not you. When trust is low, buyers won't move—even if your proposal looks perfect on paper. The fastest pattern across B2B in Japan, the US, and Europe is empathetic listening that surfaces goals, constraints, and internal politics. Post-pandemic norms (hybrid work, async decisions) mean you must read what's said and what's unsaid: tone, pauses, body language on Zoom, and email subtext. In enterprise sales, this shifts you from “pitching” to “diagnosing.” You become the buyer's trusted business advisor—especially in consensus-driven cultures like Japan where ringi and nemawashi favour rapport and patience over pressure. Do this and high-stakes deals stop stalling because stakeholders finally feel safe to share the real blockers.  Do now: Open with one agenda question—“What outcome matters most by [date]?”—then listen without interrupting for 90 seconds. What questions reliably open buyers up? Use simple, human prompts that invite stories. Who have they worked for? What was it like? Where's the office? When did they start? Why choose this company? What do they like most? These “Who/What/Where/When/Why/How” prompts turn small talk into signal, revealing priorities (speed vs. safety), risk appetite, and decision cadence. Across SMEs, startups, and multinationals, these prompts work because they're culturally neutral, non-intrusive, and buyer-centred. In APAC, they respect hierarchy; in the US, they feel pragmatic; in Europe, they invite thoughtful context. The goal isn't to interrogate—it's to let people talk about themselves while you capture needs, metrics, and names of influencers you'll later engage.  Do now: Prepare six openers on a card; ask two, go deep on one, and mirror key phrases back. How do I remember personal details without being awkward? Use the “Nameplate → House → Family → Briefcase → Airplane → Tennis Racquet → Newspaper” memory chain. Visualise a giant nameplate smashing into a bright house; inside, a baby with a briefcase pulls out an old plane; its propellers are tennis racquets threaded with rolled newspapers. Each hook cues a safe, human topic: name, home, family, work, travel, hobbies, and industry news. This light mnemonic keeps first meetings natural across cultures. In Japan, it supports relationship-first norms (meishi exchange, hometown ties). In the US/EU, it avoids prying while still finding common ground (sports, routes, recent sector headlines). Use tact and sequence flexibly; skip topics if they feel private. The point is to remember them so follow-ups feel personal, not transactional.  Do now: Before calls, jot the seven cues; after calls, log one fact per cue in your CRM. What if I don't know the buyer's interests yet? Keep asking—then mirror their language and frame benefits in their terms. Early on, many buyers withhold interests until they decide you're trustworthy. That's normal. Persist with respectful questions, then translate features into “so-whats” they already value: uptime for CTOs, cycle-time for COOs, compliance for CFOs, psychological safety for HR. As of 2025, complex deals involve multi-threading (RevOps, Legal, IT, Security). Tailor each touch: startup CTOs want velocity and unit economics; enterprise VPs want risk mitigation and stakeholder alignment; Japanese heads of division may prioritise harmony and precedent. The win is relevance—your proposal reads like their strategy memo, not your brochure.  Do now: After each meeting, write one line: “They care most about ___ because ___.” Lead with that next time. How do I make someone feel important—without manipulation? Spot real wins and praise them sincerely and specifically. Most professionals get little recognition. When you catch people doing something right—clear brief, crisp data, fast feedback—name it. Never over-flatter; buyers detect tactics instantly. The goal is dignity, not drama. Practical example: “Your timeline reduced rework across Legal and IT—that saved us both weeks.” In Japan, sincere appreciation that acknowledges team effort (not just the individual) lands better; in the US, direct credit energises champions. Across sectors (SaaS, manufacturing, services), this fosters reciprocity and deepens trust far faster than discounts ever can.  Do now: In your next email, add one honest, specific thank-you sentence linked to a business outcome. What should leaders systemise so this sticks? Bake these principles into playbooks, onboarding, and CRM hygiene. Codify the seven memory cues, the open-question matrix, and a “buyer interest” field in CRM. Coach for silence (count to three before replying). Review call snippets for interrupt rate and question balance. Reward teams for discovery quality, not just revenue. Executives at firms from startups to conglomerates can run fortnightly “deal trust reviews”: is the sponsor heard, interests mapped, and recognition given? In Japan, align with nemawashi—map stakeholders and pre-wire decisions. In the US/EU, pressure-test value hypotheses with RevOps and Finance. Consistency beats charisma.  Do now: Add three fields to your CRM today—Interests, Stakeholders, Recognition Given—and make them required. Conclusion When you listen deeply, speak in the buyer's interests, and recognise people sincerely, you stop selling and start being chosen. Make this your firm's operating system and watch cycle times shorten and referrals grow.  FAQs Isn't this just “be nice” advice? No—these behaviours reduce friction, surface risks early, and accelerate consensus, which shortens sales cycles.  Do these tips work in Japan? Yes—especially the memory chain and sincere group-focused recognition, which fit relationship-first norms.  How do I measure progress? Track interrupt rate, number of stakeholder interests captured, and instances of specific recognition logged in CRM. Next Steps Add the seven-cue mnemonic and open-question set to your onboarding. Require “Interests” and “Recognition Given” fields in every opportunity. Coach teams to wait three beats before replying on calls.

Social bonds may be the most overlooked key to longevity. In this episode, Ken Stern, author of Healthy to 100, explains how connection, purpose, and community can profoundly extend healthspan. Drawing on insights from Japan, Singapore, Korea, Spain, and Italy, he reveals how cultures that value older adults achieve healthier, longer lives. He contrasts this approach with the U.S., where technology-driven isolation and ageist norms undermine health and life expectancy. Intergenerational programs, lifelong learning, and community design that fosters everyday contact offer practical remedies for urban, high-stress environments. In this conversation with Peter Bowes, Stern challenges the “three-stage life” model and reframes later years as a period for contribution rather than decline.Ken Stern is the founder of The Longevity Project and author of “Healthy to 100: Lessons from the World's Healthiest Countries.” A former CEO of National Public Radio, he focuses on reimagining work, retirement, and social connection for healthier, longer lives.Time-line Mitopure (a highly pure form of Urolithin A) boosts the health of our mitochondria – the battery packs of our cells – and improves muscle strength.

The 3 Everyday Habits That Win Trust Sales rises or falls on trust. As of 2025—post-pandemic, hybrid, and time-poor—buyers have less patience for fluffy rapport and more appetite for authentic, repeatable behaviours. This guide turns three classic human-relations principles into practical sales moves you can use today: be genuinely interested, smile first, and use people's names naturally. What's the fastest way to build trust with time-poor buyers in 2025? Lead with curiosity, not a pitch. Ask about their context before your product, and mirror back what you heard in concrete terms (KPIs, deadlines, constraints). This converts a transactional meeting into a partnership from minute one. In Japan, the US, and Europe alike, executives are bandwidth-constrained; they remember the seller who reduces cognitive load. In enterprise deals, curiosity surfaces hidden stakeholders and post-purchase risks. In SMEs and startups, it reveals cash-flow windows and procurement shortcuts. Curiosity isn't manipulation; buyers detect feigned interest instantly. Done right, it creates common ground that makes every later ask easier. Start every meeting with one “business-human” question (e.g., “What must be true by quarter-end for this to be a win?”). Mini-summary: Curiosity first → faster trust → smoother deals. Do now: Prepare three context questions per persona. How do I show genuine interest without going off-topic? Be human, but keep it business-linked. Tie personal context to business impact; keep it relevant, short, and anchored in their role, industry, and timeline. Ask about post-purchase adoption (“What would success look like for your users in the first 30 days?”), operational realities (e.g., Japan-specific compliance), and leadership pressures (“What will your CFO scrutinise most this quarter?”). Compare contexts—APAC vs EU privacy, B2B vs consumer rollout, startup urgency vs multinational governance. Document what you learn and open the next meeting by recapping their words—snippet-ready proof you listened. Mini-summary: Human questions, business purpose. Do now: Build a one-page “interest map” per account. Does smiling still matter in serious, high-stakes meetings? Smile first to set the social temperature, then match the room. Under deadline pressure, many sellers present a tense “serious face” that raises defensiveness. A genuine, early smile lowers friction and signals “I'm safe to talk to,” especially in first meetings or escalations. In Japan's formal settings, a measured smile plus a slight nod communicates respect and openness; in the US, a warmer smile can accelerate rapport. The key is timing: smile as you greet, then calibrate to the buyer's style within seconds. The goal isn't cheeriness; it's creating a cooperative atmosphere where tough topics (risk, price, delivery dates) can be discussed without posturing. Mini-summary: Smile first, calibrate fast. Do now: Add “reset face → greet with smile” to your pre-meeting checklist. How can using names increase influence without sounding fake? Use names sparingly at moments of emphasis. Offer your own name first, confirm pronunciation, then use theirs to mark alignment and commitment—never as filler. In group settings with multiple stakeholders, sketch a quick seating map to avoid missteps later. This habit personalises without pandering and helps you track the real decision network behind procurement. Close clearly: “Aiko-san, we'll send the red-lined MSA by Friday.” Mini-summary: Names for signal, not filler. Do now: Practise name recall and pronunciation before the meeting. What's the cross-market playbook (Japan vs US vs Europe) for relationship momentum? Universal habits, local nuance. The same three behaviours—interest, smile, names—work everywhere, but settings differ. In Japan, invest more time upfront on context and internal harmony; be precise with honorifics and follow through meticulously. In the US, move faster to value articulation and next steps, keeping warmth high. In Europe, expect variance (Nordics vs DACH vs Southern Europe) in decision cadence and consensus. Align to company type: startups reward speed and flexibility; multinationals reward consistency and risk management. Hybrid selling post-2020 demands tighter summaries and clearer asynchronous follow-ups. Mini-summary: Universal habits, local settings. Do now: Add a “market nuance” line to every call plan. How do I turn these habits into a repeatable system my team can use? System beats intention. Bake the habits into templates, rituals, and measurable checkpoints. Create a pre-call sheet with (1) three curiosity questions, (2) a reminder to smile on entry, (3) stakeholder names and pronunciations, (4) a 90-second recap script for follow-ups. In your CRM, add fields for “buyer language used,” “stakeholder map,” and “adoption risk notes.” In weekly pipeline reviews, inspect not just stages but relationship signals: trust markers logged, name usage at key moments, and recap emails sent within 24 hours. Train using short, scenario-based drills (enterprise renewal, startup pilot, public-sector RFP). Mini-summary: Process it so it happens. Do now: Standardise a one-page “relationship checklist.” Final wrap Make the buyer—the human—the centre of the conversation. Start with interest, open with a smile, and use names with intent. Then systemise the behaviours so they happen every time. When products look similar, these micro-habits become the differentiator.

Have you ever had a blow-up with your partner and then sat in that heavy silence wondering what to do next? This episode is your guide to how to make up after a fight—and the real skill that keeps love strong: repair. Happy couples don't avoid conflict; they learn how to come back to each other with intention, humility, and care. We'll look at why “never go to bed angry” is a myth (your brain actually needs space to calm down), how self-reflection helps you share your feelings without blame, and why small repair bids—like saying, “Yesterday was rough, can we talk tomorrow?”—can open the door to understanding. I'll also share ways to use your couple strengths, whether it's touch, shared rituals, or humor, to restore warmth and connection. Repair takes practice, and each attempt adds another layer of strength to your relationship.

A strong, healthy relationship is one in which we create a very safe place for each person to be 100% themselves. So many of us did not learn growing up what it means to be in a relationship this way.  If you're like me, you thought that growing up and getting married would mean that you would have someone to love you, to shore up your insecurities, to validate you, or to agree with your opinions.  Strong, happy relationships are places to learn how to be more loving and kind and show up in a space of US rather than a space of ME.  In this podcast we are digging a little deeper into what it means to show up in relationship to create a safe space for our partner.

In this special episode of the Dad Edge Podcast, I'm joined once again by my son Ethan for another honest and often hilarious father-son conversation. This week, we're kicking off our August series focused on helping young men grow into adulthood with integrity, resilience, and intention. We unpack what it really means to become a man in today's world and why so many guys stay stuck in a boyhood mindset well into their 40s and beyond. Ethan shares firsthand experiences from his first full-time job, launching a car detailing business in high school, and learning life skills that go far beyond the classroom. We talk about emotional regulation, grit, finding meaningful work, and how to support your kids without micromanaging their growth. Whether you're raising sons or just want insight into building a better father-child bond, this episode is packed with perspective, wisdom, and a few laughs. TIMELINE SUMMARY [0:00] - Welcome to the podcast and the mission behind the Dad Edge [1:30] - The origin and theme of our father-son conversations [3:06] - Why August is all about helping boys become men [5:00] - The First Phorm 8-week challenge and tools to get started [7:01] - The moment I realized no one was coming to save me [8:22] - Ethan's experience at his first real job in an auto shop [11:30] - Learning to grow up through the CAPS entrepreneurship program [13:42] - How Ethan started and ran a successful car detailing business [17:07] - Signs a boy is becoming a man: long-term thinking, embracing discomfort [20:37] - The danger of staying in a soul-sucking job and the power of choice [26:30] - Stories of perseverance from Steve Jobs, Colonel Sanders, and J.K. Rowling [30:21] - Ethan's reflections on helping others break limiting beliefs [35:45] - Why emotional regulation is key to maturing into manhood [39:00] - Learning to pause, respond, and reflect through challenging days [43:27] - How fathers can support sons without overstepping [47:03] - Using better questions to develop critical thinking and self-direction 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS: 1. Becoming a Man Requires Intentional Growth The shift from boyhood to manhood doesn't happen automatically; it's shaped by life experiences, learning responsibility, and the conscious decision to grow up. No one is coming to save you, and it's up to you to take ownership. 2. Let Sons Struggle, But Be Their Safe Place Growth often happens in the discomfort. As dads, it's tempting to step in and fix things. But real development comes when we let our kids wrestle with problems while knowing they have a safe place to process and recover. 3. Embrace and Teach Emotional Regulation Maturity is marked by how well we manage our emotions. Learning to pause, breathe, and choose a thoughtful response instead of reacting impulsively is a life skill every young man needs to master. 4. Work Experience Teaches More Than Just Skills From oil changes to running a business, Ethan's journey proves that real-world jobs and responsibilities develop grit, confidence, and a clearer sense of what one wants and doesn't want in life. 5. Success Is Measured by Fulfillment, Not Fortune We often think success means more money, bigger homes, or flashier titles. But as we explore in this episode, true success is found in happiness, strong relationships, and doing work that brings purpose, not just a paycheck.

In this episode, Chad Hughes welcomes Ramiro Roel, Senior Manager of Development at Leeward Renewable Energy, to the show to discuss his current position in being a key part of getting site control for Leeward's renewable developments across the US. They explore Ramiro's upbringing and how the relationships built in his early career influenced his work journey. Ramiro talks about many aspects of renewable energy, his expertise, and some of the reasons he hears for people rejecting renewables. Ramiro was born and bred in Texas and grew up around the oil and gas sector. He tells Chad about the relationships he formed in the early days working on his dad's ranch that still inform some of his work today. He names some of the influential people who helped shape his early career in Field Services and the lessons learned then that he's always followed.     Chad and Ramiro explore renewable energy at depth, from the false narratives that people believe about renewables to the specific work Ramiro does in his current position at Leeward Renewable Energy. He describes his process of listening to landowners and learning from their concerns so he can be transparent about what the process is about. Chad hears the guiding principles that have led Ramiro throughout his career and solicits advice from him for anyone looking to get into the land profession. The conversation highlights how relationships drive careers and the opportunities inherent in renewable resources. “I want to try to get them to understand, to better have a situation as to where we're coming from. We're not the big bad wolf. We're trying to come in and actually create energy for those folks that absolutely need it, and so if there's something that we can do about it, then obviously that's something where we step in and explain and lay all our cards out on the table. This is why we're here. This is what I'm trying to do.” - Ramiro RoelAbout Ramiro Roel:With an extensive background in land management and real estate within the energy sector, Ramiro Roel's focus centers on leveraging project planning, development and supervisory skills to advance renewable energy initiatives. Leading Greenfield development campaigns, his role is pivotal in expanding renewable energy projects through expert lease negotiations and strategic project planning. Ramiro's recent tenures at Kinder Morgan, Inc., and Buckeye Partners have honed his expertise in lease negotiations and stakeholder management, ensuring smooth project progression and sustainable land use.Ramiro's team's efforts in focusing on alternative energy solutions reinforce a commitment to environmental stewardship and community engagement. Proficient in Spanish, he bridges communication gaps, fostering inclusive collaboration across diverse teams and international projects.

I had an enlightening conversation with Brian and Mary McKnight, the driving forces behind Turf Tamers Landscaping in Fort Collins. Brian shared how he acquired Turf Tamers, initially a tiny business, and grew it from the ground up starting with a few clients in 2001.  Brian shared his background, and the drama in moving from “trendy” California to “cowtown” Fort Collins in high school - but how he soon fit right in and found summer work in landscaping.  Mary, on the other hand, came to CSU from Indiana and studied global tourism. They met at the Rio, and their shared passion for adventure and travel led to a quick connection, and soon jobs and business opportunities in Chile.They bought property in Chilean Patagonia in 2008, and over the years developed both the property and deep relationships with the neighboring families.  Despite travel challenges and lack of infrastructure - their valley finally got electric power in 2016! - they've developed an amazing fishing and recreation property in one of the most unique glacial valleys in Patagonia, and we spend a fair bit of time exploring their valley and the local culture.   Brian and Mary also shared extensively about their business evolution, particularly how incorporating systems and focusing on quality customer service has been their key to success. Brian appreciated how Mary's involvement sped their evolution, and how his membership in LoCo Think Tank has broadened his and their perspectives.  For young  people, they emphasized the importance of travel and entrepreneurship, and shared how their focus on values informs their business and family decisions. Our time together was an exploration of building a business and a life with intention and an adventurous spirit, so please tune in and enjoy my conversation with Brian and Mary McKnight.  The LoCo Experience Podcast is sponsored by: Purpose Driven Wealth Thrivent: Learn more

In this episode of The LoCo Experience podcast, I sat down with Bob Hewson, the CEO and co-founder of Colorado Youth Outdoors,which will celebrate its 25th year in 2026! We started by inquiring the why around the organization's focus on building relationships through traditional outdoor activities like fishing, archery, and trapshooting.We talked about the importance of intentional one-on-one time in relationships - especially any parent-child relationship - and how his own upbringing influenced his career shift from corporate life to founding a nonprofit.  Bob shared how the organization thrived during the COVID era due to its reliance on private funding and commitment to its mission, and positioned them for an upcoming expansion to a Colorado Springs area campus. Bob also highlights the significance of having a strong board and community support in overcoming business challenges, and their future plans for a national presence. Additionally, we delved into Bob's personal life, including his family, kids, grandkids, and a memorable stint working in the fishing industry on Orcas Island. Bob's story underscores the power of relationships in personal and professional life, and the principles involved in making them stronger. So please tune in, as I'm sure you'll enjoy my conversation with Bob Hewson, CEO of CYO.The LoCo Experience Podcast is sponsored by: Purpose Driven Wealth Thrivent: Learn more

In this episode of The LoCo Experience Podcast, I sat down with Dwight Sailer, the owner of HighCraft Builders based in Fort Collins, Colorado.  We discussed Dwight's background and the early days of his business, including his journey from apprentice craftsman in Monterey Bay to a fresh start in Colorado and how he started HighCraft with his longtime business partner Bryan Soth.  Dwight shared insights into the unique challenges and opportunities in the construction industry, including their fixed-price model and the importance of building strong client relationships. We also delved into the evolution of their office space on Mulberry Street, which serves as a physical testament to their commitment to quality and creativity in their projects.Dwight's passion for his work and his team's dedication to excellence were evident throughout our conversation. We touched on various aspects of Dwight's life, from his family and personal background to his experience in Builder 20 business groups that have helped refine their business practices. The conversation was both informative and engaging, highlighting the highs and lows of running a successful construction business. From the humorous story of a barroom altercation during a business trip to a tender discussion of Dwight's family and future aspirations, this episode offers a comprehensive look at what makes HighCraft Builders tick. Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur or simply interested in the construction industry, this episode is packed with valuable insights and stories, so please enjoy - as I did - my conversation with Dwight Sailer. PS - I booked this conversation with Dwight after congratulating him on HighCraft being recognized with a BBB Torch Award for business ethics.  In his humility, and my forgetfulness, the topic never even came up in our conversation, so I thought I should at least mention it during the intro! The LoCo Experience Podcast is sponsored by: Purpose Driven Wealth Thrivent: Learn more

Send us a textIn this compelling episode of The Customer Success Playbook, Eleni Vorvis, a fractional CS leader and consultant, shares invaluable insights on fostering effective collaboration between Customer Success and Product Management teams. She emphasizes the crucial importance of building strong relationships and understanding mutual goals before diving into feature requests and roadmap discussions. The conversation reveals practical strategies for breaking down silos and creating alignment between these two critical departments.Detailed AnalysisThe discussion delves deep into the fundamentals of cross-functional collaboration in SaaS organizations. Vorvis presents a methodical approach to building effective partnerships between Customer Success and Product Management teams, highlighting two essential strategies:First, she emphasizes the importance of establishing alignment on basic definitions and metrics. Before jumping into feature requests or roadmap discussions, CS leaders should invest time in understanding how the Product Management team operates, their goals around usage and adoption, and how they measure success. This foundational work ensures both teams speak the same language and work toward common objectives.Second, Vorvis advocates for direct communication about collaboration preferences. She challenges the common assumption that Product teams are too busy to engage with customers directly. Instead, she recommends explicitly asking Product Management about their preferred level of customer interaction, which often reveals they want more direct customer contact than CS teams might assume.The episode illuminates how these strategies can lead to more effective product development and customer satisfaction. It becomes clear that both teams ultimately share the same goal: building software that delivers genuine value and outcomes for customers. The key lies in creating structured approaches to communication and collaboration that serve both departments' needs.The discussion also touches on the importance of timing and context in these interactions, suggesting that while Product Management's direct involvement might not be necessary for all customer interactions (such as bug fixes), their participation is crucial for strategic discussions about product roadmap and version transitions.Please Like, Comment, Share and Subscribe.

Episode 247: Today on “The Building Code,” Charley and Courtney are sitting down with Lyle Crownover, owner and CEO of Crownover Company, Inc.

Discover How To Build Strong Relationships with Landowners for Hunting Access with these Key Tips. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka 'BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with The Bend Radio Show & Podcast, your news outlet for the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! How To Build Strong Relationships with Landowners for Hunting Access Building a strong relationship with landowners is key to accessing private land for hunting. Many hunters face challenges finding new hunting spots, but with the right approach, securing access can be made easier. Establishing trust, showing respect, and maintaining open communication with landowners are vital steps in building long-term relationships. We (Tigger & BEC, Jeff Erhardt & Rebecca Wanner) are both landowners, hunters, and outdoorsmen that believe strongly in wildlife conservation can blend well with agriculture. Starting off on the "right foot" to build that positive relationship is the key!   Key Tips for Success To Gain Hunting Access Research and Approach Landowners with Respect Before approaching a landowner, do your research. Understand their land and its boundaries. When meeting, be polite and respectful—first impressions are crucial. Avoid being overly pushy, as you're more likely to gain access if you approach them as a neighbor and fellow steward of the land. Show Appreciation for Their Property Demonstrating respect for the land is one of the most effective ways to gain and keep hunting access. Offer to help with property maintenance, such as repairing fences or inquiring how you might help. Small gestures go a long way in establishing trust and showing that you value the landowner's property.   Offer to Share the Harvest  When you do gain access, offering to share part of your game with the landowner is a great way to show appreciation. Whether it's a portion of your deer, elk, or pheasant, this thoughtful gesture can turn a one-time hunt into an ongoing opportunity. Maintain Open Communication Throughout the Season Set Clear Boundaries and Expectations Once you've gained permission, be clear about when and where you'll be hunting. Check in regularly with the landowner to ensure you are following their rules and respecting any changes they may have made. This builds trust and ensures both parties feel comfortable with the arrangement. Express Gratitude and Keep in Touch After the hunting season, send a thank-you note or a small token of appreciation to the landowner. Keeping in touch year-round, not just during hunting season, shows that you value the relationship beyond the hunting benefits. Why Strong Relationships with Landowners Matter Securing private land access provides unique hunting opportunities that aren't available on public lands. Private lands often have more diverse wildlife and fewer hunters, making for a more rewarding experience. Building strong relationships with landowners not only benefits hunters but also helps landowners maintain and protect their property. Additional Benefits of Developing Good Landowner Relations Long-term Hunting Opportunities: Establishing a good relationship can lead to repeated hunting access for years to come. Exclusive Hunting Rights: Some landowners may offer exclusive access to hunters they trust, giving you a prime hunting spot with less competition. Frequently Asked Questions About Hunting Access on Private Land Do Landowners Require a Fee for Hunting Access? Some landowners may request a small fee or require you to sign a liability waiver. Always discuss these terms upfront to avoid any confusion. What Should I Avoid When Approaching a Landowner? Avoid approaching landowners during busy times, such as harvest season. Be patient and polite, and avoid making demands or rushing the conversation. Conclusion: Build Positive Relationships for Future Hunting Success Building strong, positive relationships with landowners is essential for gaining and maintaining access to private hunting land. By showing respect, offering help, and expressing gratitude, you can develop lasting partnerships that benefit both you and the landowner. Taking these steps not only helps you find new hunting opportunities but also strengthens local land conservation efforts.
