  • Kelly Feldkamp: Realities of The Job Site Athlete Keeping Laborers Safe, Strong, and Loyal
    Apr 26 2024

    About Kelly Feldkamp: Kelly is the founder of ProVention Plus, which is an on-site injury prevention company that is changing the way companies take care of their manual labor and craft employees. She has a master's degree in exercise and wellness and is the creator of the Move Better Program used by thousands of jobsite athletes over the last 20 years.

    Kelly has a passion for helping jobsite athletes reduce the discomfort that they may believe is an unfortunate but necessary part of their profession. She and her team at ProVention Plus have been blessed to work with those who are most in need of injury prevention care, but are also the least likely to seek it out for themselves.

    The evolving conversation around how we care for the job site athlete is a welcome change for Kelly. She's playing an active role in moving the industry toward a place where pain is not just an unfortunate byproduct for the job site athletes, but they also build the world we all enjoy.

    In this episode, Jordan and Kelly discuss:

    • Why on-site injury prevention is important

    • Addressing and reducing job site injuries

    • The state of jobsite injuries

    • Preventing injuries through movement


    Key Takeaways

    • On-site injury prevention services can reduce discomfort and pain for industrial athletes. Providing them with the right support can lead to fewer injuries which would make them even more effective at their work and also increase their loyalty towards the company.

    • Dynamic group warm-ups and dedicated one-on-one sessions are more effective than stretch and flex programs in reducing injuries and preventing current injuries from progressing.

    • Industrial athletes often continue working despite injuries due to fear of losing their job or ruining the company's zero-injury record. Soft tissue injuries, which are common and costly in industrial settings can often be prevented through physical therapy and strengthening rather than surgery.

    • Moving our bodies in all possible ways is essential in reducing and preventing injuries both on and off the job.


    "If you don't move it, you lose it. So let's move our bodies in all the ways we can move it." — Kelly Feldkamp

  • Ryan Tansom: The Intentional Growth Framework™ For Entrepreneurs
    Mar 21 2024

    About Ryan Tansom: Ryan started his entrepreneurial career at his family business where he was the executive VP. He was responsible for the strategic operational and financial strategy of a $21 million company. By the age of 27, he helped turn the company around and bring intentional focus to the right strategies, which enabled it to be sold for eight figures in 2014 to a local competitor, Ryan took his experience and founded Arkona to create the intentional growth framework which helps owners view and run their company like a financial asset through educational training and fractional CFO services. Ryan's mission is to help entrepreneurs enjoy work, create wealth, and make an impact in order to make the journey worth it. Ryan has personally guided over 400 entrepreneurs, and leaders through the Intentional Growth Academy. He has been involved in dozens of transactions and spoken in front of some of the most prestigious CEO masterminds, like Vistage Worldwide and Entrepreneurs Organization. He also hosts the popular Intentional Growth podcast that has 340 Plus episodes 500,000 downloads and guests like Gino Wickman, Bo Burlingham, Dan Martell, and others.

    In this episode, Jordan and Ryan Tansom discuss:

    • The "hats" entrepreneurs wear: Owner and Leader

    • Owners and leaders usually have different values and goals for each hat

    • The critical conflicts balancing income and growth

    • "De-risking" cash flow

    • Growing your value


    Key Takeaways

    • Conflicts happen when there's a misalignment of values between the leadership and the ownership of a company.

    • Especially when owners and leaders are the same people, they need to define their goals for each hat they wear. Then they need to create alignment between ownership, leader, stakeholder and client goals.

    • They must also create a vision that will guide their decision-making and make sure that the organization is always aligned with the overall goal.

    • Revenue doesn't mean much for a company. At some point, there needs to be cash flow to generate enough equity growth.

    • Grow value by increasing and "de-risking" cash flow.

    • Hire the right team of advisors and coaches to help you get to where you want to be. Surround yourself with people that you trust, love, and respect.


    "There is nothing more "freaking" frustrating than someone who wants to just get up and execute when the owner and ownership group doesn't know what they want." — Ryan Tansom

  • Stephanie Coradin: Building Accountable Leaders, Bold Problem Solvers and Exceptional Service Providers
    Mar 7 2024

    About Stephanie Coradin: She is the Founder of Dembo Inc. She has over 18 years of experience in providing leadership and development training and life coaching to individuals and groups from various industries. She holds an MBA and a master's degree in mental health counseling. She has a unique combination of knowledge and length of industry experience, which enables her to draw out the underlying factors that may be impacting an organization's growth and provide effective solutions. She's an advocate of employee empowerment, and dynamic leadership. She believes that when employees feel valued by their leaders and trusted with their abilities, they are motivated to perform their best.

    In this episode, Jordan and Stephanie Coradin discuss:

    • The fine line between coaching, consulting, counseling and mentoring

    • The stereotypes regarding the different generations in the workplace

    • The mentality of entitlement across generations

    • Corporate culture change

    Key Takeaways

    • In corporate culture change, start with standard operating procedures to fix the cause versus just curing problems.

    • Awareness of one's own leadership style is essential to building a positive corporate culture.

    • Building self-awareness requires a person to be willing to dig deep into the intentions, motivations, and past experiences that drive their decision-making. Once a person becomes aware of their background and tendency, that's when they can move forward with change.

    • A mentality of entitlement and oversensitivity is not entirely unique to the younger generation. There are entitled people in all generations. Somewhere between 13% and 20% of people have personality disorders. You have to assume that regardless of generation, you will see difficult behaviors.

    "Treat your team members well. If you treat your team members well, then your bottom bottom line will soar. Because when they're happy, they make everybody else happy." — Stephanie Coradin
