    About this Episode

    Scot Hunsaker was on the show last year talking about how to prepare employees to take over once the CEO decided to leave. He has a recipe for the process which we discussed in a very engaging conversation. Scot and his wife then boarded his boat and began a slow ride up the east coast, around Nova Scotia, and down the St Lawrence river. His boat is now in storage near Chicago. He and his wife then flew to New Zealand and then Australia for a six week trip. From Australia, Scott called. "Cam," he said, "there's something I need to tell your listeners that I'm learning from this trip. They need to not wait too long before starting their retirement. I'm seeing too many people who are too old and frail to enjoy it the way they dreamed." Well worth a listen.

    Jill Schlesinger Works for CBS News. We Follow Her Trajectory from Financial Advisor to National Media Figure

    I met Jill Schlesinger at a conference years ago. We chatted back stage and got along. On my next trip to New York City she took me around the CBS Studios and and introduced me to some of the national personalities you would recognize on TV. She was interested, kind, nice, and generous when she didn't need to be. Her path to journalism is non-tradiitonal. She started as a financial planner and has landed with a national TV slot, two great finanical books, a national radio show and a very popular podcast. She and I chat about journalism today, how it's changed, and what she might do differently next time.

    Quarterbacks, NIL, NFL, and David Morris' QB Country - Training the Best to Get Better

    When we last checked in with David Morris, president of QB Country, he was busy training his "bread and butter" client - middle and high school quarterbacks. Now in eleven cities, he's now taken many of those young QBs into the college and pro levels and they're staying close. Any any given moment in the offseason, David is training quarterbacks whose names you'd know and who are on the field on Saturdays and Sundays in the fall. He's gained their and their family's trust and they seek his counsel on NIL deals which has led him into beginning QB Reps. It's an exciting business and David keeps a low profile in a high profile industry.

    Chancellor Moody and Timaje Porter are Going for the NFL.  Hear What They're Doing to get Ready.

    The NFL attracts elite athletes. Chancellor Moody and Timaje Porter think they have what it takes. Timaje is preparing for NFL Day where scouts will look him over. Chancellor is preparing to join a college football team where he expects his skills to shine. They both have lots of support in their corner, they're doing the work to ready themselves for the tests they'll soon get, and their attitudes point to success. And, for what it's worth, they can now count on me being in their corner, too. But...it's a long, narrow road ahead.

    Nick Bloom is the THE Guy Across the World When it Comes to Work from Home Trends and Its Impact on the Workplace

    Nick Bloom is an economist at Stanford. He began studing work from home trends long before they became a thing with Covid. Nick gives me the final word on whether work from home is profitable for companies, how it impacts creativity, and what most organizations are doing now that employees are insisting on a work from home environment. He also shares that NOT commuting to work saves a ton of time for all workers and an addiitonal 18 minutes for women. Why? Gotta listen... Find him on LinkedIn here.

    Applying a Resilience Mentality to Our Business. Author Amy Morin tells us how.

    Amy Morin made a name for herself with a blog that caught fire followed by a Ted Talk that caught fire. In both instances she wrote and spoke about what mentally strong people DON'T do. Avoid these pitfalls, she says, and you'll deal with life's inevitable adversity much better. In today's show I ask her to apply this mental framework to work, business, customers, and employees and she offers fantasitc advice.

    Hazardous Waste Disposal - Ted Reese of Cadence Environmental Energy Explains How It's Done

    Hazardous Waste Disposal - Ted Reese of Cadence Environmental Energy Explains How It's Done

    When huge chemical containers are cleaned at chemical plants, what happens to the left over hazardous sludge? What's done with the excess from some cosmetic overruns? What about those piles of tires we used to see stacked up behind old tire shops?  Ted Reese is president and CEO of Cadence Environmental Energy. His company destroys wastes that contain energy value by feeding it into long rotary kilns at cement plants that operate at above 2600 degrees Fahrenheit. It's all high in carbon which reduces fossil fuels needed to generate the heat. The resulting product, now harmless, becomes part of the ready made cement we use to pave our driveways, secure our basketball goals in the ground, and everything else.

    Myth v Reality in the EV Car Battery World. A Chat with the Leadership of E-Mobility and TERREPOWER

    Myth v Reality in the EV Car Battery World. A Chat with the Leadership of E-Mobility and TERREPOWER

    Are electric car batteries an environmental disaster like some would have you think? Or are they God's gift to planet earth as others would have you think? I speak with Maria Caballero, President of E-Mobility, a division of TERREPOWER and John Boyer, President of TERREPOWER, a division of BBB Industries. TERREPOWER takes used EV batteries and remanufacture them for resale. The execs say that, yes, there is an environmental cost to creating them, like there is for all things, but the benefit of running a car with no emissions outweights their cost. They also do electric storage tied to solar panels. Regardless of your point of view, the EV market is here to stay.
