    Episode 10: Surviving Airplane Crashes and Learning To Lead - Dave Sanderson
    2023/11/25
    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.

    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.

  • Episode 004: Mastering Lead Generation in Higher Education with Emily Kohler

    Episode 004: Mastering Lead Generation in Higher Education with Emily Kohler
    2023/06/22

    Welcome back to the Good News Podcast!


    In this episode, we are joined by Emily Kohler, DailyVest partner, who focuses on lead generation and business development in Higher Education, working with universities and colleges to recruit their ideal candidates.


    Emily discusses the similarities between B2B lead generation and recruiting professionals to graduate level programs and certifications. She explains that many colleges and universities focus on inbound lead generation through traditional marketing and that if they shift their approach, moving more to an human to human direct outbound marketing can radically change the game in program recruitment.


    With all the hybrid approaches in their "niche" programs, getting the word out to the right candidates can be difficult. Having a more strategic, refined, human to human approach, enrollment can increase and program can find more success, earn more funding and no longer be "hidden gems" hoping to be discovered.
