In this week’s episode, Bret speaks with Brad Hilliard.

Being a sports fan, Brad realized the pandemic was a concern when professional sports play was canceled on television, and stations began playing older games from the 90s for entertainment.

When regular closings began to happen, and working from home became the new norm, Brad realized the mindset shift he needed to take during the transition. Now family became the priority, along with a shift into a more service focused solution with a changed pipeline and the fear of losing business.

Listen now as Brad talks about his ability to focus more easily on family, and the transition to mainly working from home.  How the changes have turned into mostly positive outcomes, and has allowed him to spend more time doing things he loves.  He leaves one great piece of advice, “Be ready for what comes next”.

In this week’s episode, Bret speaks with Kevin Mangum.

When the pandemic hit, traveling to pitch clients, and commuting to work and school ended.  There was so much more time than before.

Kevin wanted to know how to make this extra time more purposeful and intentional with family and work.

Listen now as we talk about how this extra time puts into perspective the importance of work life balance, and how the changes occurring during the pandemic are still in action today and making a positive impact in the workplace.

In this week’s episode, Bret speaks with Tony Spangler.

With the pandemic in full swing, working from home was the new norm.  With kids home as well, splitting the responsibilities between the two was a new experience in itself.  

This lead Tony to ask, “What is my role in work and life, and how do we do those things together?”.     

Sound familiar?

Listen now as we talk about the all encompassing work life balance during the pandemic, and how the experience has made Tony appreciate the valuable relationships in his life even more than before.
