  • From Behind Prison Bars to a Successful Entrepreneur - Jordan Lahy Explains How Mindset Can Conquer All
    Nov 6 2023

    In today's episode Leah and Paul talk with Jordan Lahy, owner of Inside Out Cleaning LLC.  Six years ago Jordan's life was very different and on a very different path, he was finishing out a 9 year prison sentence in the Virginia State Prison System.  Leah and Paul go into great detail with Lahy learning how he was able to completely transform his life through a positive mindset.

      Lahy explains that he learned his janitorial skills in prison through a program offering work to inmates who exemplify good behavior.  While incarcerated Jordan read many books on self improvement and mindset and he began to incorporate what he was learning into his life.  He made a vision board, he did affirmations, and believed in the power of positive thinking.  When Jordan was released he jumped into the unknown of starting a janitorial business with the positive mindset skills and cleaning skills he had honed while behind bars. 

      Fast forward 6 years later, and now Jordan has a thriving janitorial business with multiple major corporate contracts.  He has followed his goal of becoming a motivational speaker at multiple churches and soon to be online.  And he is engaged to the love of his life and has a beautiful new baby boy.  Jordan has completely transformed his life in to more than he could ever imagine, all through the power of a positive mindset.

    Listen to today's episode to get inspired to transform your life today!

  • "Work Doesn't Have To Suck!" Chad Gono Tells Us How
    Jul 13 2023

      In today's episode Paul and Leah have a chat with Chad Gono, the CEO of Regal Plastics and he explains to us how "Work Doesn't Have to Suck."  This is not only his LinkedIn tagline, but it is what he genuinely believes and uses as his leadership compass.
         Growing up Chad was not looking to work at his family's business because he wasn't interested in plastics and he had an entrepreneurial spirit and wanted to foster it.  But after some time he decided to join the business from the bottom up.  He found that it was just a job for most employees and he felt people should really enjoy what they are spending most of their days doing.  So Gono was on a mission to create a work environment that employees loved, and a place where people wanted to go.  Fast forward to today's culture at Regal Plastics and you will find a place where employees are friends and are choosing to hang out with each other outside of the workplace.
       Gono talks about how their mission  went from a price tag and the bottom line to creating 500 stories in 10 years of how their company is helping to create a better world.  In this conversation I truly grasped the fact that changing the world to be a better place can be done anywhere and with any company/business.  Regal Plastics is using the sale of plastics as their vehicle to bring more good to this world.
       We discuss the idea of using work culture to win the war on talent in a time where it is hard to find good employees.  They use the idea of not focusing on the work stuff and profits and spending more time focusing on the life stuff to get people to want to work at their company.
       
    Chad Gono is continuing to spread his word of how work doesn't have to suck on his social media platforms.  His posts are inspirational and are spreading words of kindness.  Be sure to follow him on LinkedIn at Chad Gono
    and on TikTok at Chadgono
