  • Episode 10: Surviving Airplane Crashes and Learning To Lead - Dave Sanderson
    Nov 25 2023
    In this episode, I speak with Dave Sanderson who is a nationally recognized leadership speaker, accomplished author and inspirational survivor of what is known as "The Miracle on the Hudson." As the last passenger off US Airways Flight 1549 which had to ditch into the river, he took the lessons he learned from that profound experience in the frigid water and emerged  from the wreckage with a mission to encourage others to do the right thing and share coping skills to address any adversity they may face. Named one of Inc.com's Top 100 Leadership speakers, Dave travels the world to share his inspirational leadership lessons and has raised over $14.8M USD for the American Red Cross over the last ten years through his talks. We talk about mentorship, sales, leadership and how moments matter. What an honor it was to have Dave on the podcast.

  • Episode: 009 Tinder vs eHarmony: Are relationships really what you want in sales?
    Oct 23 2023
    In this episode of The Good News Podcast, our host Jonathan passionately discusses the current state of the jansan and packaging distribution industry. He reflects on the struggles of young talent, urging for a change in the way they are led, trained and supported. JD credits the positive impact of industry leaders like Carla Thorne, Paragon Films, for her mentorship and commitment to building lasting relationships. He encourages listeners to adopt a more customer-centered approach, aiming to solve problems and help customers reach their goals, rather than settling for transactional relationships. Jonathan calls for a "remix" in the industry, urging leaders not just to settle for average results, but to strive for excellence in everything they do. Tune in for more in the next episode of the Good News Podcast. Key Takeaways: Leaders need to be the example of relationship building, starting with how they build relationships with the people they lead. Sales professionals also have a responsibility, regardless of how they are led, to show up as their best for their customers. Carla Thorne, an industry leader at Paragon Films, is praised for her mentorship and commitment to fostering impactful relationships. The importance of not settling for transactional relationships, but rather seeking to solve problems and help customers achieve their goals is emphasized. Jonathan advocates for a shift in the industry, a "remix", that encourages leaders to strive for excellence rather than settling for average results. The current state of the jansan and packaging distribution industry as being average is criticized, with a call for better training, marketing, and leadership. This is not just about making a change for our industry, but also for ourselves. Let's challenge ourselves to become better leaders and professionals, not just in sales but in all aspects of our lives. Thank you for tuning into the Good News Podcast and being part of this journey towards positive change. We appreciate your support and we're here to help if you need it. Until next time, let's continue striving for excellence and making a difference in the world. So, let's not just be average but aim to be extraordinary. Let's make a lasting impact and create a better future for ourselves and our industry. Are you ready for the remix?
