What does it take to turn a passion for running into a thriving retail business?With fall marathon training season in full swing, we thought we would throw it back to a conversation that Chris Ressa had with Kim Caruso, owner of Fleet Feet Poughkeepsie, located at DLC's Shops at South Hills. Kim shares her journey from corporate America to entrepreneurship, explaining how a casual 5K inspired her passion for running and ultimately led to opening a specialty running store in her hometown.Kim reflects on the challenges and opportunities of owning a retail business, especially navigating the pandemic. From shifting to appointment-based fittings and curbside pickup to building community through virtual running groups and challenges, she highlights the resilience of specialty retail. Throughout, Kim emphasizes the importance of connection, experience, and service—showing how brick-and-mortar retail thrives when rooted in relationships.Chris underscores a core truth in retail real estate: the people behind the business are as important as the location itself. Fleet Feet Poughkeepsie's success wasn't just about market demand, but about Kim's relentless energy, passion, and community focus.What you'll hear: Passion to Business: Kim turned a personal love for running into a successful small business, proving that spotting a gap in the market can open doors for entrepreneurship.Pandemic Pivot: By introducing online appointments, curbside pickup, and creative virtual events, Fleet Feet kept customers engaged and sales steady—even while doors were closed.Community is the Differentiator: Specialty retail wins not just on product, but by building experiences and relationships. Customers return because they feel part of something bigger than a transaction.The Value of Franchise Support: Partnering with Fleet Feet gave Kim access to vendors, training, and expertise that would have been unattainable as an independent startup.Real Estate Lessons: Location matters, but the people running the store drive its ultimate success. Kim's active involvement and vision made Poughkeepsie one of Fleet Feet's strongest openings.Resilience & Optimism: Despite being down 15% in 2020, Fleet Feet weathered the storm and positioned itself for a strong rebound with pent-up demand expected in 2021.Entrepreneurial Advice: Know what you're good at, lean on experts for what you're not (like commercial real estate), and give customers a reason to choose you over online competitors.Chapters00:16 Kim Caruso's Journey to Fleet Feet03:29 Navigating the Pandemic: Challenges and Innovations08:02 The Future of Physical Retail09:41 Community Engagement and Events11:56 Connecting with Customers Digitally15:13 Reflections on the Pandemic Experience18:38 The Franchise Journey with Fleet Feet26:12 Choosing the Right Location30:18 The Importance of Teamwork in Business

This week on the podcast, I'm diving into a topic that's been on my mind a lot lately—competition vs. cooperation. We live in a world (and even within mission culture) where competition often takes center stage—ranking, comparing, pushing to be “the best.” But what happens when we shift our focus to cooperation instead? What if the real strength and success come from uniting, including, and building each other up? In this episode, I share personal stories, observations from ward and youth activities, and even lessons from parenting that helped me see the contrast between these two approaches. We'll talk about the energy competition can create, but also the hierarchies and division it sometimes leaves behind. Then, we'll explore how cooperation fosters unity, abundance, and the kind of Christlike leadership we need more of on the mission and in life. Whether you're a preparing missionary learning to manage expectations, a currently serving missionary working in a district or zone, a returned missionary trying to let go of comparison, or a missionary mom/leader wondering how to encourage unity—this conversation will give you new perspectives and practical tools to notice where competition is creeping in, and how to intentionally lean into cooperation instead. Because when we choose cooperation, everyone wins. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did.

Today, I am starting a new series. I was not planning to do so. I was merely going to do the quote that you see as the title of the series, "Leaders are Readers." Then, as I did a little research on that quote, I found quite a few more quotes to help explain the importance and value of that quote and concept. The more quotes I found, the more I wanted to talk about them.And so, we will have a few episodes that deal with the importance of reading. For those of you who are not readers, DO NOT run away from the episodes! They are for you more than they are for those of us who consider ourselves readers already. You will find GREAT IDEAS in here to help spur you on to becoming someone who is a reader, and you will find ways to read that make it easier for you to become someone who considers himself/herself a reader.I will also be introducing a new format that I am going to try to put out to the world that deals with the idea of reading books. Not sure yet when I will talk about it, but it will be at some point in this series. Also not sure when I will actually start whatever it is I plan on doing, but again, you will hear that at some point in the series, too (I think!).But for now, enjoy this journey through quotes about the importance of reading for those of us in leadership positions!For more information to help you on your road to becoming your best, check us out at SlamDunkSuccess.com or email me at scott@slamdunksuccess.com.As always, our background music is "Dance in the Sun" by Krisztian Vass.

In this special episode of the Dad Edge Podcast, I'm joined once again by my wife, Jessica Hagner, for another honest and heartfelt conversation about marriage, parenting, and family life. Together, we pull back the curtain on how we've learned to operate as a team, resolve conflict with respect, and create a family culture where our kids feel seen, loved, and guided.   We discuss the importance of friendship in marriage, the challenges of raising four boys with different personalities, and how grace and intentionality shape our home. Jessica also shares her perspective on what keeps our relationship strong after more than two decades together, even when life gets messy. If you're looking for practical tools and encouragement for your marriage and parenting, this episode delivers a mix of wisdom, laughter, and real-life stories.     TIMELINE SUMMARY [0:00] - Why conversations like this matter for marriage and parenting [2:10] - Building a marriage on respect and friendship [5:18] - How we handle conflict without tearing each other down [9:02] - Parenting four boys with different needs and personalities [13:37] - Why consistency matters in discipline and guidance [17:25] - The role of grace in creating a safe family environment [21:48] - Keeping our marriage strong in the middle of chaos [26:13] - Making intentional time for connection as a couple [30:05] - How we show each child that they are seen and valued [34:40] - Teaching respect by modeling it in our marriage [39:12] - The balance between structure and flexibility in parenting [43:55] - Why shared values anchor our family through challenges [48:21] - Leading our family spiritually and emotionally [52:18] - How laughter and friendship keep us connected [56:44] - Final reflections on creating a family rooted in love and respect     5 KEY TAKEAWAYS   1. Respect Is the Glue in Marriage Every successful partnership is built on mutual respect. It sets the tone for conflict resolution, parenting, and the overall health of the relationship. 2. Conflict Doesn't Have to Divide Handled well, disagreements can actually strengthen connection. The goal isn't to win—it's to work together with empathy and understanding. 3. Parent as a United Team Kids feel safest when parents operate from the same playbook. Presenting a united front creates stability and clarity at home. 4. Grace Creates Space for Growth Rules matter, but grace ensures your home is a safe place to learn, fail, and try again. It's what makes discipline effective without resentment. 5. Friendship Keeps Love Alive Romance ebbs and flows, but friendship sustains the relationship. Laughter, fun, and shared companionship are what carry you through every season.       LINKS & RESOURCES   Download the 25 Questions to Spark Connection With Your Partner: https://www.thedadedge.com/25questions Dad Edge Podcast Website: https://www.thedadedge.com Join The Alliance: https://www.thedadedge.com/alliance Listen to More Episodes: https://www.thedadedge.com/podcast Tools & Resources: https://www.thedadedge.com/tools       If this episode encouraged you or gave you a fresh perspective on your marriage and parenting, please rate, follow, review, and share the podcast.
