SHOW HIGHLIGHTS: 3:00 - Tim mentions a county in Michigan that is offering new residents $15,000 to move there and buy property. He asks the crew how much money they would move for. 6:00 - Jessica mentions a program in Italy right now where they're selling properties for dirt cheap in hopes that people will come and revitalize and invest in small Italian towns. 8:30 - Tim asks the crew if they've ever been nervous that a boss was monitoring their communication. JLee says that only when she's said something bad about that boss. 10:30 - JLee asks Tim and KD if they think people are worried their bosses are reading their actual emails. Tim says that it partly is an HR narrative issue and he says most times actual people aren't monitoring, it's technical processes that are. 13:15 - While Tim was working at Applebee's, his boss got flagged that he was spending a lot of time on Facebook. At the time, they were trying to do some recruiting initiatives on the platform. 17:00 - JLee asks if it's okay for her to judge her team members for having such expensive phone plans. 19:30 - Tim loves to mess with KD and JLee by sending them annoying messages while they're presenting in a meeting so the notifications pop up for everyone to see… 24:00 - LinkedIn's CEO recently published a post titled “We Trust Each Other”. They decided to go back to work half-time and this posts reflects on their decision and revises their policy, where moving forward they're offering more flexibility to their employees and where they work. 27:00 - JLee applauds them for this messaging, even though they are backpedaling on their original announcement. She likes messages with the world ‘trust' and thinks it's smart from a communication perspective. ---------------Jessica Lee, Kris Dunn and Tim Sackett Kinetix HRU Tech Jessica Lee on LinkedIn Tim Sackett on Linkedin Kris Dunn on LinkedIn The Tim Sackett Project The HR Capitalist Fistful of Talent Boss Leadership Training Series

On December 2nd, 1999, Timothy Cole died of an asthma attack while in prison for a sexual assault he didn’t commit. Stunned by the injustice of the loss, his brother Cory vowed to clear his brother’s name and ensure such a tragedy never befall anyone else. His family, joined by the victim and the Texas Innocence Project, successfully overturned Tim’s conviction on February 6, 2009, becoming the state of Texas’s first posthumous exoneration. Today, Cory is the Vice President of the Texas Innocence Project, drawing upon his experiences to lobby for progressive, statewide justice reform. Tune in to this moving installment of Open Mike for updates on the Innocence Project’s current initiatives and how Tim’s family is faring these days. Show Notes [00:30] Background of Cory Session, Vice President of Texas’s Innocence Project, and context of his brother Timothy Cole’s wrongful conviction and asthma attack death while behind bars. [01:04] Cory, welcome to Open Mike. I hate meeting under these circumstances, but I know it’s your life’s mission, talking about your brother and Innocence Projects… you’ve worked tirelessly to free wrongful convictions — can you set the stage for our viewers on why? [03:20] This ended up being a high-profile case… a white woman being allegedly raped by a Black man, a series of serial sexual assaults that started before he even got to campus… why don’t you tell us some of the basic issues that happened within the case and doomed Timothy’s chance at a fair trial? [7:07] Testimonial from the survivor stated that her assailant kept smoking cigarettes and she would pocket the butts, thinking they would be useful as evidence. Timothy was a severe asthmatic and couldn’t smoke — information that was not told to her by police. [08:12] Another rape occurred, and Tim was identified as the rapist… which is impossible, because he was not even in the same geographic region and had an alibi. [09:48] Tim refused a plea deal for two years of probation, because he refused to admit to a crime he didn’t do. [11:48] Every time Tim’s defense attorney mentioned the name of a suspect who later ended up being guilty, the judge threatened to hold him in contempt. [12:15] He was convicted and ultimately sentenced to 25 years in prison. [15:28] On December 3rd, Tim’s family was notified that he had passed away in prison the previous day. [21:46] While Tim was in prison, he still remained in close contact with his family, with multiple visits. And maintained his innocence, hoping for eventual exoneration. [22:59] A lot of these cases have bad lawyering, but it doesn’t sound like that here. It sounds like Tim had a horrible prosecutor and judge. It’s shocking how this jury came to this result. I know there was DNA evidence back during this time — none of which could have matched your brother and matched someone else. [24:32] Was it argued at trial that your brother couldn’t smoke cigarettes? [25:12] Fast forwarding a little bit to the wonderful changes you and your family were able to put into action in Texas… why don’t you talk about some of the developments that have occurred as well as your mission work? [27:43] In 2008, an investigative reporter told Tim’s family that detectives had a rape kit that would have potentially exonerated him, implicated Jerry Wayne Johnson, the actual rapist, and they were sitting on it. Up until that time, no one in Texas had been posthumously exonerated. [31:45] Tim’s family ended up meeting with then-governor Rick Perry and convinced him to pass the Timothy Cole Compensation Act which increased compensation funds to exonerees to $80,000 per year for time served — the most generous in the country — as well as up to 120 college credit hours and lifetime annuity. [34:43] We’ve been doing a lot of these cases, and people who are exonerated do not receive the same benefits as someone who’s been paroled… so it’s fantastic that the state of Texas has been getting on board and trying to make it better for those who have been released. [38:01] Tim’s family still keeps in contact with the assault survivor who incorrectly identified him as a perpetrator, and there is no blame being cast— both parties are moving forward with grace and forgiveness. [39:03] Is there anything being done in Texas to make sure this never happens to someone else? Because you and I both know that wrongful identifications make up a huge percentage of wrongful convictions… [42:16] Can you give us a brief overview of what you’re doing as VP of Texas’s Innocence Project? [45:13] You’re doing some great work and I commend you for these admirable efforts. Last question… what do you think Tim would say about all of the good work you’re doing with the Innocence Project and all the developments that happened posthumously? [47:13] While he was in prison, Tim stated, “I still believe in the justice system even if it does not believe in me.” [47:40] I think with your tenacity, we will reach a place where justice is distributed more equally. And I want to end on that powerful note. Cory Sessions, thank you so much for being here with us on Open Mike and sharing your story. [48:02] Be sure to check out the Texas Innocence Project, and donate if you can! [48:18] Another tough one… if you know somebody who needs to see this episode, forward it to them, like, comment, subscribe… thank you for being here with us and watching Open Mike — take care.
I know, I know, we have not done a podcast in awhile. And by that I mean our last episode was August 27th of 2020! There's no real interesting story as to why we took such a long break, other than the fact that I (Scott) started my M.A. in Philosophy and Tim published a book. As it turns out, this takes up a lot of time. Well, fortunately (or perhaps unfortunately) for you all, we have come back from our extended hiatus well-rested and ready to talk some more apologetics and theology with you wonderful folks. Or I suppose more accurately, AT you wonderful folks. In this episode, Tim and I discuss some of the response he received to his book. In particular, we do a brief overview of some of the criticisms raised by Guillaume Bignon, a Calvinist whose views are critiqued in the book. While Tim is still yet to publish his full response, we wanted to give everyone a taste of some of the things he is going to say. Stay tuned for more episodes coming weekly!

When Oliver Stone hits he hits hard. When he misses he whiffs entirely. Platoon has some of both. While Tim and Matt spend some time talking about the film’s war bonafides, and lack thereof, Tim directs us to the theme of Classical Needledrops, inspired by Platoon’s use of “Adagio for Strings.” He then continues the reclamation of Heaven’s Gate and waxes about personal favorite The Right Stuff, both of which are recontextualized by some surprising classical music drops.
To help us explore this question, I interview Tim and Pam Elmore. Tim has written a book called The Pandemic Population. Dr. Tim Elmore is the founder and president of Growing Leaders. While Tim was becoming an expert in how to lead the next generation, Pam was putting in the hours in the field of leading their two kids. Tim and Pam have an amazing way of taking research and making it practical and hopeful. I know this is going to really enlighten you. Interview: What does it look like at the Elmore house during pandemic times? (1:23) You say there’s some amazing research about why this is such a tough time for couples. What are you finding in your research? (2:24) Tim, what’s going on in our brains right now? (4:08) Do you ever feel like you’re having moments of an out of body experience? (5:18) Pam, do you have a story for our neuroscientist friends? (7:20) What do you guys think about all the structure that’s been removed - does that play any role in this? (11:34) Give me a couple examples of what these things could look like for couples (15:40) What’s the difference between accepting that these are tough times and normalizing it, versus not taking action? (18:50) Pam, it also feels like guys are fixers and I keep forgetting that during this time. Are you that way - do you just want to feel this instead of being ‘guided’? (20:45) Things are so emotional right now, I think if we can figure out how to practice marriage right now we can have opportunities to try things again. We haven’t had this much tension back-to-back in a long time (25:40) From a faith perspective, how do you see God in the middle of all this chaos? (27:32) We always want to make marriage real, fun and simple. Can you guys speak to the folks listening who don’t have hope right now? (33:30) It feels like we’re triggering each other a lot during these days. Talk to those of us who are in flight or fight mode - what do they do in that moment when they get triggered that will lead to growth later and not damage?

Tim Watts MP, Shadow Assistant Minister for Communications & Cyber Security, comments on the Cyber Power Index released by Harvard’s Belfer Center which shows Australia is ranked 8th for intent but 16th for capability overall. According to Tim, the report highlights significant gaps in Australia’s capabilities on a range of objectives including offence and commercialisation and is further confirmation the Morrison Government has over-promised and never delivered on almost every metric when it comes to Australia’s cyber security capabilities. We also discuss the contrasts of existing Federal Government structure for cyber versus the shadow portfolio structure and observations on the Australian Cyber Security Strategy and Cybersecurity for IoT Devices Code of Practice. In terms of funding, an alternative Labour Government is continuing to develop its policy framework for the 2022 election. Recorded 14 September 2020. Belfer Center report: https://www.belfercenter.org/sites/default/files/2020-09/NCPI_2020.pdf National Cyber Resilience discussion paper: https://www.timwatts.net.au/news/discussion-papers/national-cyber-resilience-is-australia-ready-for-a-computer-covid-19/ In his release, Tim Watts MP stated: The Morrison Government’s report card on cyber is in – showing Australia is ranked 8th for cyber intent but 16th for actual capability – behind Estonia, Israel, and Malaysia. The newly-released analysis is done by the Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center in its National Cyber Power Index 2020. Under the Morrison Government, Australia has dropped from 3rd in a 2011 ranking to 10th overall in this study. This is yet another example of the Morrison Government’s approach of rhetoric over action and their failure to prioritise cyber at both an industry and government level. According to the report, the biggest gap between intent and capability is in our offence, with Australia placing 10th in intent yet only 24th in capability – particularly lagging in the capability of our domestic industry to realise high-tech export opportunities. Australia ranks 12th for the commercialisation of cyber security capability compared to 8th on intent which is particular concerning given the omission of any objectives or initiatives to support the Australian cyber security industry in the Government’s delayed 2020 Cyber Security Strategy, This report is further confirmation the Morrison Government has overpromised and never delivered on almost every metric when it comes to Australia’s cyber security capabilities. PROFILE Tim Watts is the Federal Labor Member for Gellibrand. Tim has worked in the IT and telecommunications sector for the better part of a decade, as a Senior Manager at Telstra and a Solicitor at Mallesons Stephen Jaques. He has a Bachelor of Laws (Hons) from Bond University, Master of Public Policy from Monash University and Master of Politics and Communication from the London School of Economics. Since being elected, Tim has been an active advocate on issues ranging from family violence, Australian aid, cyber security, refugee and asylum policy, cycling and Australia's engagement with Asia. While Tim’s ancestors arrived in Australia in the 1840s, his wife arrived in Australia from Hong Kong in the 1980s. In this way, Tim’s children are at once both second and sixth generation Australians. As a result, Tim is passionate about protecting the harmonious multicultural society in which we live and understands the specific needs of our multicultural communities.

While Tim obviously is still upset about his holiday not going ahead, we feel the light hearted tone of this particular episode is due in part to our naive belief that the parks would not actually reopen in July.

We talk everything from synths to solos, we had some similar feelings as well as differing opinions on the release. Marvin and Gary reminisced on their first concert going experience on this tour, as well as their own rock star moments basking in Hardee's Hot Ham N' Cheese and Dairy Queen Blizzards!

Timothy Harrison is the Associate Director for CBCT® at Emory University's Center for Contemplative Science and Compassion-Based Ethics. While Tim has a master's degree in architecture from Harvard University, he decided in 2014 to dedicate himself full time to teaching and sharing the benefits of CBCT. He oversees the CBCT program, including multiple research initiatives and the rigorous teacher certification process. Tim regularly teaches CBCT nationally and internationally in academic institutions and healthcare settings, and he advises on the tailoring of CBCT for research with populations that have specific circumstances including cancer survivors, veterans with PTSD, HIV+ patients, and Emory medical students. He also enjoys offering CBCT through outreach programs such as in prisons and foster care homes, and to teachers in the Atlanta Public School system. In this conversation, Tim talks about burnout, the reasons for it, its definition, and three main indicators that someone may be experiencing burnout. Most importantly, he discusses the way to counter it through self-reflection. We get into the science behind CBCT, discuss different kinds of empathy, and examine the latest research around compassion and kindness. Tune in to learn more.

On this episode of Radio Stingray, we’re discussing wage theft, focusing on the nature of it and the various ways in which it influences a number of industries within the Australian workforce. On today's show we are joined by Tim Nelthorpe, from the National Union of Workers, Victoria (NUW), and Activist with Hospo Voice, James Anthony Conciglio. While Tim is focused on the fair treatment of horticulture workers and James is a Chef and activist in the hospitality industry, both individuals share a common purpose in providing their industries’ workers with the resources and education to recognise the exploitation of their services. Key Themes and Discussion Points What is Wage Theft? Wage theft is the denial of wages or benefits rightfully owed to the employee by the employer. Wage theft can be presented in many ways, including but not limited to; failure to pay over time and violating the minimum wage award of that industry. What is Hospo Voice? Representative for Hospo Voice James Anthony Conciglio believes that they provide one of the largest working industries in Australia a collaborative platform in which hospitality workers can use to voice concerns regarding their treatment within the work place. James simply defines wage theft as a dodgy boss who isn’t paying the correct award to their worker/s. What is the Award? Awards are designated legal minimums allowed to each industry as per the guidelines put forth by the Fair Work Commission. Unique to all industries within Australia, these awards are established by the government in order to regulate and monitor the specific pay rates, penalties and allowances. Tim Nelthorpe and the NUW Tim represents the horticulture industry, which encompasses 100,000 + workers picking and packing the fresh produce that’s bought, sold and distributed in major supermarkets, such as Coles and Woolworths. Represented as having some of the highest minimum wages in the world, which has been primarily achieved through enterprise bargaining, Unions have lost sight of the internal struggles relating to wage theft. For example, the horticulture award enables a peace rate clause that employers use to shave wages in a shifty yet legal manner. Roughly 70% of the horticulture industry in Australia is paid in cash, therefor unrequired to abide by the regulated awards of fair trade within that industry. The Informal Economy The informal economy refers to a large sector of the Australian economy that is paid in cash and thus lack representation from government and privatised unions established to enable fair awards and better practices. Representative for Hospo Voice, James Consiglio, believes that this informal economy is extremely prevalent within both the hospitality and horticulture industries. He also believes it’s most common for casual workers and migrants who require immediate financial support. George Calombaris Former Master Chef judge, George Calombaris was responsible for one of the largest displays of wage theft in the history of the Australian hospitality industry. The owner of various MAde Establishment companies, George underpaid more than 500 current and former employees over nearly two decades and was forced to back pay over $7.8 million in wages and superannuation this year. This episode of events that are central to the operation of numerous restaurants and venues across Victoria has only motivated James and Hospo Voice to increase awareness and continue to educate employees in fair work practices. The Operation of a Modern Union James of Hospo Voice believes that both the state government and the relevant industry workplace have a responsibility in empowering and supporting the modern union and its members. Ombudsmen are often utilised by unions in order to resolve issues regarding the miscommunication between fair trade and union members. These ombudsmen are, however typically referred to as “work place umpires”, often not on the side of the workers. Tim Nelthorpe of the NUW believes that the modern union has the responsibility to give their workers an understanding of their right to not only join a union but to stand up when being mistreated. Fortifying the ‘New Union Model’ Representative for the NUW, Tim Nelthorpe believes that workers he represents within the horticulture industry have success moving around the industry, maintaining union contacts and records. This is important as many work places require a nomadic operation and this fluidity suits the modern workplace effectively in regards to maintained support. Tim Nelthorpe states that the wages of an individual aren’t the core concern raised within the horticulture industry, rather it’s focused more on job security and the voice in which the individual is given in regards to internal and external business decisions. What is Hospo Voice Doing? A member run organization, Hospo Voice works in numbers and solidarity, and aims to achieve better long term quality of industry standards in regards to wage awards and their regulation Hospo Voice also hopes to make wage theft a punishable crime. Currently in the organisational stages, Hospo Voice is in contact with the Victoria State Government in hopes to enact the law by 2020. Important Quotes | “Where there’s a union that’s well organised and prepared to fight, we see good wage and condition outcomes for workers. Where there is no union, or no fight, we see employers seizing on every available opportunity to steal as much as they possibly can out of their workforce” – Shane Reside “The MUA Sydney branch has been fighting the full spectrum of businesses, from dodgy back yard operators to hundred million dollar players like NRMA” – Shane Reside “When we talk about wage theft, we’re talking about dodgy bosses who aren’t paying current award” – James Anthony Conciglio “We estimate that something around 70% of the industry are being paid in cash, and the vast majority of those are earning well less than the minimum wage” – Tim Nelthorpe “Realistically, the sheer scale of the problem (wage theft) in our industry, means that unless unions are recognised and given a role in the 90% of sectors in which we don’t have government mandated inductions with workers, then things won't improve” – Tim Nelthorpe “Workers having a voice, and workers being educated on their rights to join a union is a big part of it (combating wage theft)” – Tim Nelthorpe “10% of the Australian workforce are temporary migrant workers” – Shane Reside Important Resources To learn more about the National Union of Workers and the type of difference individuals such as Tim are making, visit https://www.nuw.org.au/.

For this week’s episode, I (Leandra) asked my fellow Monrovia High Alumni (class of 2003) Tim Gomez to come in and record a conversation with a special Monrovia High School teacher. While Tim was a student at Monrovia High school he was inspired and influenced by his teacher Mr.Paul Dols. In this episode Tim has a conversation with his high school teacher, who is still currently teaching and leading at Monrovia High School. The two sit together and discuss education, their approaches, and how Paul’s work as a Monrovia High teacher has helped shape and inspire Tim as he went on to pursue a teaching career of his own. Timothy Gomez is starting his ninth year of teaching high school Humanities at Aspire Ollin University Prep Academy. He graduated from Monrovia High school in 2003 and Cal State University Fullerton in 2008 (BA English). He then attended Sarah Lawrence College in New York, where he received an MFA in Nonfiction Writing in 2011. He spends a lot of time talking about his feelings (check out his instagram: @timfinitely) Paul Dols will be starting his 24th year as a classroom teacher this year. All but 2 of those years have been spent at Monrovia High School, where he served as a social science teacher as well as a Leadership Director. He has been the Renaissance Coordinator since 2008 and last year added the title of Activities Director to his resume. His official title is School Climate & Culture Coordinator. He was Teacher of the year in Monrovia Unified in 2012 and was named National Coordinator of the Year by Jostens Renaissance in 2013. In the summer of 2018, he was inducted into the National Jostens Renaissance Hall of Fame. Hope you enjoy this heartwarming conversation as we hear about the legacies of caring for kids, seeing others well, being kind and helping kids develop and grow that has come out of Monrovia High School system.

On rare occasion a rider comes along that is so unique they don't fit into BMX the way most other riders do. Back in the 80s that rider was Dave Vanderspek. Dave would combine street and flatland moves before street was really a thing and gained notoriety for bringing a new type of riding to the masses. Among other things Dave would do surfers while holding his skateboard and jump onto the board. He also utilized his street surroundings while performing flatland tricks making for some of the best photos every released in the early bmx magazines. Pushing the bounds of reality even further is Tim Knoll. Tim's riding by many is considered more like BMX Parkour as a way to explain what he does. Tim just calls it BMX freestyle. I can remember some of the first clips Tim shared on the internet where he was doing all kinds of dark side flatland tricks with the bike upside down mixed with handstands and flips. I have to admit when I first saw it I didn't know what to think. As time went on and Tim's skills improved, his edits popped up more regularly and he was able to smooth out his style. Each video showed less and less of traditional flatland and showed more unique and original hybrid flatland/street moves which were more like stunts than anything else. While Tim has never been a contest rider or a well known sponsored pro at least for his flatland riding, he's managed to put out two of the most well known bmx edits of all time totaling around 300 million views. Tim has become well known all over the world for his style of riding and even more so his video edits. We caught up with Tim and talked about his early gymnastics career and how that's helped him with some of his tricks he currently does on his bike, how he got into BMX, when he first started doing tricks using street obstacles, which tricks were the most dangerous in his videos, riding at Lake Owen Camp, doing backflips over box jumps, what goes into a typical day of filming, how the mainstream reacts to what he does, and what it's like to be YouTube famous. So get comfortable, crank up your speakers, and get to know one of the most unique bmx riders on the planet.... Tim Knoll!

The second podcast recorded in one night, Tim's 27th birthday but this time AFTER watching the movie. And boy has it put the aforementioned podcast co-host in a shitty mood. While Tim is feeling sorry for himself and doing some soul searching about what it means to spend the last hours of his birthday alone in his room watching Grown Ups 2 for the 27th time, Guy is just too darn exciting by the Edinburgh Fringe Fest to be brought down by the movie and regales us with tales of a terrible gig as well as questioning what you should do if you're a drunk off-duty cop at the scene of a massive backyard brawl.

After all, we might already be inside the thing, right?

When it comes to making an impact, nobody brings the fire like Tim Sackett. Jennifer catches up with her old friend and firebrand who isn’t afraid to say, blog and write what’s on his mind. As outspoken leader in his field with 20 years of top-level HR and talent experience, Tim shares what he’s learned working as a talent and HR wizard. Who is Tim Sackett? And why the heck is he so happy? Jennifer asks Tim a little bit about himself and how he entered the recruiting business through his family. Tim tells Jennifer about memories of his mother’s recruiting calls, getting fired by her, and his return to the business after some time in the HR corporate world. Tim’s mom is cut from some rock-hard stuff. Jennifer asks Tim about how she came to start her recruiting company and how she influenced him. Tim tells the story of his more immature and egotistical days, why he was axed by his mom, and how he made his way to corporate HR. How do you spark a passion for HR? Tim talks about the reward of being able to help people more directly, the challenges of a new field and a deeper sense of camaraderie sucked him into the HR world. While Tim had a history of playing it fast and loose in the workplace, the corporate world demanded an adjustment in temperament. Jennifer asks Tim about how he cooled his heels for the better and who has helped him along the way, personally and professionally. Tim relays his experience working in HR at Applebee’s and how he learned the value of talent strengthening and critical feedback. What inspired Tim to pick up the quill? Tim tells the tale of how he came to writing and blogging, and his experience writing for Kriss Dunn’s The HR Capitalist. He also talks about the therapeutic value of writing in his own voice and how his practice has translated into bonuses for his professional career. According to Mama Sackett, blogging and speaking engagements are just more ways to give away the secret sauce. Tim discussing how his drive to help others has informed his open and friendly approach to giving advice and sharing knowledge. Practical, hilarious and brave; the Tim Sackett voice doesn’t sound like anything else. Jennifer asks Tim about the most controversial thing he’s written and he talks about why he doesn’t shy away from topics like race and gender in the workplace. While it might seem innocent, the tale of how Tim Sackett became The Workplace Hugging Expert is juicier than expected. Tim fills us in on the details of his 15 minutes of fame turned icebreaker comedy skit. Blogging is one this but publishing a book is a whole new ball-game. Jennifer asks Tim about his process for making the jump from the web to the printed page and what it’s like to be an author. Tim is notorious for being a fountain of advice. Jennifer asks Tim about the best advice his mother has given him and the greatest advice he would give to his sons.

Tim and Shayne take a break from Westworld (the best show on television) to see some new movies at the movies. This week we check out Deadpool 2 and Solo: A Star Wars Story.

A group of deer or sheep is a herd. A collection of ferrets, a business. (Seriously.) But what’s the best term for a community of runners? If you’re Tim and Jessica Murphy, you call them the BibRave Pros. And in four short years, you gather more than 100 of them, working to connect them to each other, to races, and to related brands so the whole sport benefits. For this week’s episode of #WeGotGoals, I caught up with the power couple and BibRave co-foundres before last month’s Boston Marathon. I’ve known them since BibRave’s early days here in Chicago (they now live in Portland), and wanted to learn more about how they’ve built such an engaged, inspiring collective of socially savvy athletes. “I love talking about community and what the word actually means, because I feel like it gets used and sort of abused a lot,” Tim said. Not any group of app or website users, customers, or past participants qualifies. “It’s not a community until there becomes this sort of interconnected fabric where they’re all concerned with one another’s wellbeing, and they’re cheering for each other, and they’re sad with each other. There is a genuine connection between them.” Runners naturally tend to flock together, but Jessica and Tim don’t take the bonds between their BibRave Pros for granted. First, they focus on choosing the right people—not necessarily those with the biggest following, but athletes who are positive, empathetic, diverse, and have struggles and triumphs that everyday runners can relate to. “We want to embody the fun and communal aspect of running,” Jessica said. From there, the BibRave team—five staffers total—works hard to keep these ambassadors engaged. Every Tuesday at 8 p.m. Central time, they host a popular Twitter chat (follow it at #BibChat) about a different running-related topic. They also produce a weekly podcast. And, they work to create opportunities for affiliated runners to interact in real life, at races and other events (starting with signature bright-orange singlets that make them relatively easy to spot). The evolution of the BibRave community transformed the entire direction of the company. When they launched BibRave about four years ago, the Murphys envisioned it as a Yelp or TripAdvisor for races, featuring user-generated content to help runners share and learn from each other’s experiences. Eventually, they noticed how engaged and invested running influencers became in the BibRave brand. Around 2015, Jessica said, they had a light-bulb moment that shifted their business model. “When we were out talking to other partners and other people in the industry, one thing that struck us was people want experts in social media and in community and we have that, but we’re kind of only using it to serve BibRave,” she said. “What if we started to use it to serve other people in the industry?” BibRave pivoted and now works with brand and races to get their products and events into the hands and race calendars of influential runners across the country. Those runners, the BibRave Pros, have the opportunity to try new things. And, the running world as a whole benefits from learning about the latest and greatest from peers they can identify with—a win-win-win that involves transparency, hard work, and lots of moments of celebration along the way. “To become a part of those people’s running lives has just been amazing,” Tim said. “To watch people hitting accomplishments they didn’t think they could hit and bringing everybody along for the journey—that’s very, very cool. It wasn’t something that we could have known was a goal, but I think it’s something we’ve been really proud of so far.” Jessica and Tim had another goal that wasn’t explicit but that they’re proud to have crushed: creating a company that could sustain both of them. While Tim went full-time at BibRave about two years ago, Jessica didn’t do so until early this year, after stints at LinkedIn, Nike, and Runner’s World. That period of time created some stress—Jessica often traveled for work, which limited the time they could spend together both personally and working on BibRave. But ultimately, the lessons she learned in those roles have brought incredible value to BibRave. And now that they do spend what Tim called a “ridiculous” amount of time together, they’ve found they actually feel less guilt and conflict. “We have our moments where we’re in work; we can then more strictly define moments where we’re not,” Jessica said. “I feel like we have a better balance. And we do work really well together because we complement each other with different skills and talents. As we do that more, I feel like we’re hitting a good stride.” We’ve interviewed co-founders before (including Julia Carmona and Lauren Katzberg of Stylisted), but never a pair that were life partners in addition to business partners. (That’s despite the fact that aSweatLife’s very own founder & CEO Jeana Anderson Cohen is married to her co-founder, Justin Cohen.) Tim and Jessica say learning to talk calmly and openly about work has, in turn, improved their marriage. “You have your communication style sort of hard stop, right? That’s just how you most effectively communicate,” Tim said. He now knows the best way to ask Jessica a question—to give her a heads-up and set some context—and employs it whether he wants to inquire about a business deal or where they should go for dinner. Listen to this week’s episode to learn more about the signposting communication technique they use at work and in life, what it takes to become a BibRave Pro, and the Murphy’s big goals for the future, including transforming the road-racing experience for the better.

I'm Jeana Anderson Cohen; with me, I have Maggie Umberger and Cindy Kuzma. CK: Good morning, Jeana. MU: Good morning, Jeana. JAC: Good morning. CK: Jeana, registration I know has been open for a little while now for something super exciting here at aSweatLife. Do you to want to talk about that a little bit? JAC:I’d love to. So every year, twice a year aSweatLife hosts a week that's like restaurant week for fitness across Chicago. We create a schedule. We challenge people to try new things and to meet new people and you can find that schedule on aSweatLife.com, but every morning we will be encouraging people to set and achieve big goals just like we do on this podcast and every evening we'll be exploring new neighborhoods through the culture of sweat. We will finish the whole week with a fitness festival and we can't wait to see you there. CK:And what are the dates for this week of awesomeness? JAC: June 4th through the 9th. We can't wait. CK: So if you're listening in real time, sign up now and if you're listening to this later on, I know there's going to be another amazing SweatWorking week soon. JAC:Of course, but Cindy, this week you did the interview with two goal-getters. CK:Yes. I talked to Tim and Jessica Murphy who are a couple and they are also the co-founders of BibRave, which is a pretty cool website and community and company focused on runners that started right here in Chicago. JAC:And speaking of couples, I know that Tim and Jessica are married. I too am married to a co-founder of my company. He was my husband before he was a co-founder. Did they have any advice or guidance for couples who work together in that way? CK:It's interesting. We did get into this maybe even a little bit more than they thought. After this interview. They were kind of like, oh, we didn't realize this was going to turn into like a talk about our marriage, but it kind of did and and it was great. Two big things. One was they started the company together, but Tim went full-time there before Jessica did and he said that that was actually really motivating to him, that he wanted to work really hard to make it worthy of her being there full-time, um, because he thought that she was just so good and so talented at what she did, that he wanted to make it a proposition that she was really excited about bringing her considerable skills to that community full time. The other thing that they said was that working together now full time has actually improved their marriage, that they have a specific way of talking to each other about business problems where he kind of sets the tone and gives her some context, lets her know what's coming next and what's required of her to answer a specific question that he's like, I don't need that, but she does. And communicating that way in business has made me realize, oh, the communication that we have in our marriage is so much better when I use that same technique in our marriage too and, and everything just becomes simpler. So it was really interesting to hear them talk about that a bit. MU: Bibrave has an incredible community across the country, not only online but in real life that I had no idea really how big it was until hearing them talk about it and then looking up a little bit more since I'm not a runner myself, but I see how much importance they place on community and then their definition of it was also very interesting. Can you talk a little bit about how they define community and what their standards are for it? CK: Yeah, so when they started BibRave, it was initially just a website for race reviews and now it really has grown into this community. And what they realized along the way was that the idea of community, it isn't enough just to be like, oh, people use the site, they show up, they're the community. They have to be really intentional about building that community online and as you say, offline. So they're always doing things to increase engagement. Like they have this great twitter chat that encourages people to talk to each other and they've really worked hard on giving runners more opportunity to meet up in real life. They've tried to organize meetups at races, they've tried to connect people in regions so that these BibRave pros who see each other all the time online can then solidify that relationship in real life and they've really seen the power of that community, help people achieve their running goals and life goals, and that's something I know you all see at aSweatLife too with your ambassadors, how you bring people together. CK:It's not enough to just sort of text or tweet at people. It's really about coming together and being intentional about talking about your goals and how you plan to achieve them. JAC: It's been so exciting to watch the community that BibRave has grown and I can't wait for this interview. Here is Cindy, with Jessica and Tim. CK:This is Cindy Kuzma and I am here with Jessica and Tim Murphy, the co-founders of BibRave. Tim and Jessica, thank you so much for joining me today on the #WeGotGoals podcast. JM: Thanks for having us. We're super excited to chat with you. TM: It is a pleasure to be on. CK: So I'm really looking forward to talking with you both because I have known you for awhile and I've seen BibRave grow so much overtime and we're here in Boston for the marathon, which makes things even more exciting. There's always such a fun energy around running and around this race and I know it's a place that we kind of get to reconnect every year. So it's so cool. So I wondered if you could start by kind of introducing us to BibRave a little bit, telling us what it is and the role that each of you play in it. JM:Alright, I'll start. So BibRave started as like a Yelp or Tripadvisor for race reviews. We wanted a place where people could come together and share with other runners their experiences and since then it's grown into this huge community of runners who not only share race reviews, but now we work with different brands. And other races so that we have a community of influencers that can review races and products, share their experiences with others and just bring people together of all experiences and different types of shapes and bodies and sizes and goals and have objectives. TM:Yes, so when we first got started, we were kind of looking at ways that we could establish own social media presence. TM:So we started a twitter chat which became pretty popular pretty quickly. It was centered around the Hashtag #bibchat. And noticed that a group of people coming back week after week, month after month, were running bloggers and so we thought why not bring them all together to use their collective audiences and readers and followers help races and brands to reach more runners? And so that's how we started our community of influencers known as the BibRave Pros. CK: And I definitely want to hear more about the BibRave pros and kind of what it takes to be one. But first I want to talk about the beginning a little bit. I know that BibRave started because of a sub optimal personal experience that you had. Right? I wondering if you could talk to our listeners a little bit about that. JM:Yes, and I feel comfortable talking about this because the race that I had a suboptimal experience is no longer around. It was formerly known as the Suntrust National Marathon. It was, has since then been bought by Rock ’n Roll and obviously they put their Rock ’n Roll footprint on it, so I think a lot of things a bit buttoned up, but it was only my second marathon ever and I trained through the Chicago winters, which was horrible. I paid many and spent time to travel there and I just felt like, ah, if I could have had the experience that I had in Chicago, it would have made this, that much more worth it and so we really wanted to start it so that people could learn from other people's experiences and I was very big into user generated content, wanting to hear from my peers what their experiences were. TM:Yeah. We, if I remember correctly, Jessica had done a good amount of research, but she was only finding like races’ Facebook pages, which are not necessarily like the most authentic reviews because we don't know if any of those were changed by the race or anything like that. Like it's just not something that is owned by the users. And the other option was like forums, which is just a terrible user experience. So I do remember both of us thinking, how is there not a more definitive place to find out what runners think of a race beforehand? And that's kind of the initial phase for the the idea for BibRave. CK: And I know it's kind of grown and changed and you've accomplished so much since then. So what we talk about on the #WeGotGoals podcast, we ask two big questions and the first one is what is a big goal that you've achieved? Why was it important to you and how did you get there? So I figured in the context of BibRave you've accomplished a lot, but is there kind of one, one thing either collectively or individually within the company that you would highlight as something you're particularly proud of? TM: So just sort of like as it relates to Jessica and I have, this is now both of our full time jobs and so that has been really gratifying for both of us because it started as an idea and we both put a lot of hard work into it and just had a lot of challenging situations from that come with starting any kind of business and so just getting it off the ground at all and then having it become like an actual thing so to speak and then something that we can both work on full time and you know, there's, there's five of us now on the team. TM:So that personally has just been really gratifying. And was, it was a goal whether or not we stated it explicitly or not. I think that we both ultimately wanted it to be our thing. And right now it is. CK: Yeah. I think I remember talking to you closer to the beginning, I believe you said that was a goal. Maybe you were like, I think it was a goal, so it is really cool to watch that and to see you and not even just the two of you. Like you said you have five and then you have this whole other community of people supporting you. So it's been incredible. TM: And one thing I would add, like I think if we, I, I kind of wish we had been more honest with ourselves about it being a goal. I think we probably didn't have enough confidence or we didn’t, we didn't really talk about it and we're pretty goal-driven people, we’re very like planning-focused and I just don't know that we were ever super honest about that being a goal and I don't know if it was because we didn't know if it was realistic or we didn't want to face the reality of it not coming to pass. So we didn't talk about it too much, but I still think it was ultimately something that we wanted to do and it's just, I wish we had been a little bit more explicit about it. JM:One thing I will say is I tend to be more risk averse and I feel like Tim is much more willing to take on new risks. So it's no surprise four years into it, Tim went fulltime on BibRave two years ago and I'm just now coming full time on BibRave as of three or four months ago. I think if we were jumping both feet in the deep end right away, we would have both gone full time, but I think we eased into it. The benefit in hindsight is that our business has evolved so much since we first started. What we're doing now is not at all what we envisioned we would be doing when we launched BibRave and to me, one thing that I'm the most proud of is that I think we've evolved our business to mold to needs that we see in the running industry. As we go to conferences and we go to events and we hear the needs of brands and race directors and that's what I'm super proud of is that we haven't said this is our plan and we're sticking to it and we're so rigid in how we've defined our business. We've been able to evolve and launch new projects as a result of needs that we've seen. CK:Yeah. I was interested in kind of how you go about aligning—It seems like you found a sweet spot aligning the goals of your BibRave pros and the brands that you work with and the races that you work with, but it's probably like a little bit of a balancing act to figure out where everyone's goals do align, so how do you kind of navigate that? How do you work with, with everyone to make sure that you keep everyone's goals aligned, if that makes sense? TM: Yeah. I think that it's critical for everything to be very win win, win for our partners, for the BibRave pros and for the brand and I've been thinking about this more and more recently. We're trying to pull together like a mission statement of sorts and I will not try to speak extemporaneously about how that's been going so far, but really like one of the things just sort of like to touch on the BibRave pro aspect and to also go back to goals for the company. TM:It's been immensely satisfying to see this community of not just the BibRave Pros, which are like the community of running bloggers that we have sort of in our in our family, but also the BibRave community in general. To just become a part of those people's running lives has just been amazing and to watch accomplishments, people to be hitting accomplishments that they didn't think they could hit and bringing everybody along for the journey. That's very, very cool and it, it wasn't something that we could have known was a goal, but I think it's something that we've been really proud of so far. As far as like how to keep the balance in act there. It's really just trying to be honest about everybody's priorities and not just like taking things for granted. So never trying to take the brand partners or race partners for granted, never taking the BibRave Pros for granted and really just trying to focus on everything being win, win, win. JM:When we started with the BibRave Pros, at first it was a community just to serve BibRave and I think when we were out talking to other partners and other people in the industry, one thing that struck us was people want experts in social media and in community and we have that, but we're kind of only using it to serve BibRave. But what if we started to use it to serve other people in the industry and that was like the light bulb moment for us probably like around 2015 and when we started to again then leverage our community to help kind of other brands and companies. So I again, I, I pat ourselves on the back in hindsight that we were able to do that. I don't think we knew at that time it would grow into the business that is now. So super excited that it has. JM:And then things like last year we launched the BibRave 100, which again was just seeing a need that there was no place that had a definitive list year over year, the way you think of like the U.S. News and World Report top colleges that was the Bible when we were kids about where you would find like the best colleges to go to and we really want this to become that and we feel like we have the right community to do it. We have the right kind of like social savvy to get the word out and to get people to participate. And again that wasn't part of our original plan, but has become now a pillar of what we do. CK: And the BibRave 100. That's just like a list of awesome races, right? JM: Yeah, it is top 20 marathons, top 20 half marathons, top 15 10Ks, top 15 5ks. And then we have three top 10 lists of categories that the runners get to vote on. So last year it was the best medal, the best scenery, and then best race management. CK:Tell me about these BibRave Pros. How many you have now and what it kind of takes to be one of these days. TM: So there are 100-plus BibRave pros, maybe like 110, 115. But to become a BibRave pro, we don't have like a super specific or rigid or singular requirement. Like when we first got started we thought okay, we need people who have, I don't know, 20,000 followers on twitter and that's a made up number, but it was then too. We were like, we just need size. We didn't know any better and we didn't see the most like genuine content coming out of those people. And that's not to say that it can't exist, but that wasn't our experience. So we started actually like leaning into more of this sort of micro influencer space. People who have had a few thousand followers on twitter, maybe the same on Instagram. TM:Some are much bigger than that, but you know, people who are relatable running personalities, people who struggle with things like weight gain or injury or plateauing or just, you know, burnout. Things that all runners are kind of like dealing with, the BibRave pros are examples of those things and they can help people overcome those difficulties. They can help them feel more empowered to hit their goals. Like they're just a much more relatable and inspiring group of people. So definitely not like a singular cookie cutter. You must fit into this and you must check this box. We have, you know, BibRave Pros apply and we take a look at their entire social profile. Some of them are more influential in real life, they lead running groups, things like that. So we definitely try to look at the entirety of the person. JM:Another big thing for us I think is kind of attitude and personality. Like we want to embody the fun and the communal aspect of running and also being in the running and racing space, we know that there are realities of business that happen, especially for a ton of our race partners. There are things that can happen on a race day that are just unavoidable. No matter how closely you can plan or how detailed you can plan, things are going to happen with any live event. And so we want people who kind of like have empathy that things can happen, who want to know what has happened and are not, I'm just being necessarily negative when critiquing, if it's a race or a product. So we try to imbue kind of like what constructive criticism I guess or like positive thinking and that empathy that comes from knowing what's going on behind the scenes because they're more educated, they kind of know everything that goes on behind the scenes. TM:That doesn't require like a Pollyanna lens at all, but it's much more like a productive approach. And uh, so yeah, it's kind of all ties back into like the, the holistic approach of like who is this person, what are they about and will they kind of fit in with the larger BibRave Pro family. CK: And that makes sense. And as you say, because you're not just building a service for brands, you're building a community too. So that is all so important. Talk to me a little bit more about community and how you all have seen the power of community in running, whether it's among the BibRave pros or even when you talk about your own running goals. TM: So this is actually like I, I love talking about community and what the actual, what the word actually means because I feel like it gets used and sort of abused a lot. TM:A lot of people say, oh, this is our community and I'll ask like, what does that mean when you say your community? And sometimes they'll be like, oh, it's our users if it's like an app company. And I'm like, that always makes me a little uncomfortable because I'm like, there's not necessarily a community. It could be, but just the fact that you have readers or users or even followers does not make them community. Or if they’re your past participants for an event or a past customer, like it's not a community until there becomes this sort of like interconnected fabric where they're all like concerned with one another's wellbeing and they're cheering for each other and they're sad with each other. Like there is a genuine connection between them. They're not just people who happen to call themselves the same thing. So that's kind of how I differentiate it. It's more than just a collection. It's sort of like an integrated collection JM:And I think, you know, Tim was mentioning we're working on this idea of the mission statement. Community is at the heart of that, but I think ultimately defining our definition of community will become critical to that vision because I do think we define it in different ways than a lot of people. CK: That's interesting. And for you all personally, how has having this community, I mean has it kind of reflected back in other parts of your life too? Like in your running or in your personal goals? TM: Yeah. We were talking with some people at the expo today and we're talking with a brand partner and they had somebody who they knew come up and start chatting and so then the five of us, the four of us were chatting or the five of us and it turns out that one of them is next door neighbors with one of our BibRave Pros. So she saw my shirt and she's like, oh my God, guys are with BibRave, my friend runs with you guys. And when we were like, Oh, who's your friend? Like we obviously will know who it is, and she said who it was and it was just like those kinds of interactions are very cool because you get to see more of their life and more of their friends and things like that, but also just watching them run races they didn't think that they would otherwise be running, whether that's a distance they didn't think they could conquer or a time they didn't think they could hit. That has been super cool to watch unfold throughout the BibRave Pro scene. JM:We also have some pros who have become like BRFs or best running friends with other pros across the country and have considered themselves BRFs for years before actually meeting in person, which is like a really powerful thing to think, I can consider you my best running friend but we haven't met and then now we're meeting for the first time in two years. Or just this past spring, one of our BibRave pros was at a marathon and one of our race partners, the race director was there running and trying to run a BQ time and our BibRave Pro is there running the half and so afterwards he was there and like caught a, you know, a picture of the race director on mile 25 and like, and they know each other through BibRave and they feel connected that way. Like that is a really kind of cool thing to just feel the community. It's a very big one, but then it seems smaller in those small moments. CK: That has got to be incredibly gratifying. Wow. To think that you created this and then those kinds of connections happen. JM: Absolutely. CK: So it's interesting and they want to talk about your goals for the future too, but you know, how do you think that you'll be able to keep that kind of community if, if BibRave continues to grow. JM: So we are grappling with this as every I would say company does or any type of community does as you grow. Part of it I think is Tim and I staying involved in the community We have a community manager that manages our pros and we want to empower her and you know, I will say in the past year or two we kind of took a step back because we wanted it to be like her thing. JM:But then we had heard honestly from our pros that they felt like we were not connected to them. So now we're just staying involved and it, and it's a learning for us because at first we thought well we're going to empower you to be the person that manages them, but now we know they still want to feel like we as co-founders and owners are invested in them. So that's part of it. Two, I think with any community, there's one, I obviously like the regional connection, so we have different regions and they have little micro communities within them but also the connections that happen within races. So we're finding different ways for people to meet new people within the community and not just talk to like the same 10 people that they've known for a long time. And I'm hoping that way, even though it's 100 and may become more people, find new ways to connect with more people. TM:Yeah. And I would just say sort of echoing a little bit with Jess said, finding new ways for them to interact with one another and finding new ways for us to interact with them. So part of our own podcast is just our way of sort of putting a voice to the BibRave brand for us to create content. We weren't doing like a blog or anything so we thought the podcast would be a really good way for us to still be communicating with the BibRave community and sort of putting our own content out there. So just looking for more opportunities like that will be, it is in will be important to us in the next two to four years. CK: And yes we should say too, you all have an excellent podcast and we will make sure to put a link to that in the show notes. And on the blog post too. So you've touched on this a couple times, but I want to ask about it a little more explicitly too. You are co-founders, you are married. How do you navigate that kind of relationship? JM: To be honest, it wasn't for me immediately obvious that like, yes, we're going to hit this moment where we're both going to work on this full time. I think as Tim said earlier, we didn't explicitly say that at the beginning even though like in your mind that would be a dream. I will say super honestly, when I was working full time doing different gigs and Tim was working on BibRave full time, I was traveling a lot and oftentimes I would feel like stress because I would call him like after the work day, the 15 minutes we get to catch up and we were talking about the BibRave, like we weren't catching up as husband and wife and that would be really frustrating. And also I would feel almost sometimes a sense of guilt, like I'm not giving as much as I should, but I only have so much time. Now I actually feel that we're both working on it full time. We have our moments where we're in work, we can then more strictly define moments where we're not. So even though we're spending so much time together, I feel like where we have a better balance and we do work really well together because we complement each other with different skills and talents and as we do that more I feel like we're hitting a good stride. So. TM:Yeah, I was definitely like, I'm not like a super possessive person but I was more like possessive just because, so Jessica is like a crazy baller. She's super smart, she's creative as hell. Like she was doing such amazing work for other brands and I wanted her to do that for our brand. So I was always pushing her to maybe find a way and, and you know, at some point it wasn't that obvious like we didn't know if the business could sustain both of us and she like, for her to stop working for another company would mean like an income source for the family goes away. So you have to like, come to grips with that reality, but that definitely was like my big motivator. I wanted her to be putting her talents to work for this thing that we had and it was, you know, I think that the, the tension that she talked about was totally on me, but I do agree that now that we're both like in it full time, it's been a very cooperative—we spend like a ridiculous amount of time together, but we almost had to do a, an impromptu trip to Florida like last week and traveling to Florida from Oregon is a really long way and it's like just a huge pain in the ass. But we looked at it and we're like, okay, it's not that big of a deal. We're just going to be like traveling together. If it was just Jessica going or just me going, it's more of a drag, but we're like, oh, we'll just go together. That'll be cool. The trip didn't even end up happening, but when we realized it wa
Tim Crownover, a former JMO, generated $25 million in sales. How is this possible? Tim served as an Army military police officer with a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice. One would think, if he left the military, he would naturally transition to the FBI or another law enforcement type of role. Instead, in 2015 Tim transitioned to All Risks, an insurance intermediary, and started in a sales role as a broker. Since his transition, he has been promoted to Assistant Vice President/Branch Manager where he leads a team of 34 people that generates $25 million in sales annually. I recently spoke with Tim to learn how he made the transition from his military career to one in business, and how he became so successful. Here are some of the topics we cover: In sales, you will be told “no” way more often than “yes”, meaning, you will fail more often than you succeed. But that does not make one a failure! While Tim did not mention the book, To Sell is Human, by Daniel Pink, I highly recommend it for those wanting to know more about this topic. Also important in his success? Celebrating small victories, especially when being told “no” so often. Four steps to Tim's success: Master the basics Take action Evaluate your results Adapt and adjust your actions based on your results The best advice he ever received was, “The most important step you take is the next one.” Tim also told me about an insightful Tony Robbins Podcast, “Why we do what we do.” Since telling me this, I have listened to the podcast three times. It discusses understanding people’s motivations for their actions, and I've found it helpful.

Seasons sure are a thing. A thing which we here are very bad at observing for theme shows. Mostly because of our secret third bost, laziness. The sloth gremlin must be out for the holidays itself because we managed to prepare for this show prior to the cacalendar. Which brings us to our main feature, Silent Night, Deadly Night 2.
