A Middle Tennessee Business Podcast... Whenever I talk about Pendulum, the notion of voices in the wilderness who begin to shape the next cultural attitude comes up from time to time.  I think Regie Hamm is one of those voices.  Regie and I met in 2008 when he just wrote the smash hit single for the newly anointed winner of American Idol, David Cooke. His story around that song was something I still feel honored to have been able to help tell: https://youtu.be/q1CmSreKoFM?feature=shared ...

A Middle Tennessee Business Podcast... It all started with a notion of “what if I bought a Spider-man costume and began showing up in random places around Spring Hill, TN?” Isaiah Brooks certainly didn’t anticipate the community rallying around him the way they have done so since he began showing up around town as the webbed-wonder. Going deeper with Isaiah though, this is a young man on a mission. If his course remains steady, he’ll be quite the Real Estate Investor when he’s 30.     E...

149 - Weakness = Uniqueness :: Ed Fox

July 18, 2023 16:38 - 1 hour - 112 MB

A Middle Tennessee Business Podcast... I love it when good salespeople don’t think they’re good salespeople.  Ed Fox has no idea just how good of a salesperson he is. The age of the frat-boy style, one-call closer is fading. The high pressure transactional sales approach will keep you in perpetual hunting mode.  Ed sells on his relationships. He understands that his service, Tradebank, has a bit of a learning curve…but eventually people (like me) have their “a-ha” moment with it.      Fo...

Kids Need to Fall on Their Face and Learn for Themselves. I’ve always told my kids that your 20s are for finding out who you are. Sometimes that means you’re going to fall on your face, but you need to figure out how you’re going to get back up and learn from it! Finding out who you are will help you determine how you let people treat you. Whether it’s a boss, a coworker, or a friend - you’ll learn quickly by the way you respond to their signals on what’s ok or not ok. Even if it’s late...
