Episode 2 - Influencers

Join us for Episode 2 as Travis Lozier and I discuss the people who have influenced us and helped us to grow as people. Without these mentors we would have had to figure out a lot of things on our own - and that would have been disastrous, because let's be honest, we were and still are a project.

As Travis and I share in this episode, the two of us have known each other for almost 20 years. We initially met in college and had a lot of growing up to do. Thankfully we both were college athletes and benefited from being accountable to a cross country team, and to be coached by an amazing person in John McNichols. Thanks to the love of the sport of running and to the commitment Coach had to help us achieve as not just athletes, but to achieve as people, Travis and I had quite an advantage when it came to pursuing our advanced degrees and entering the workforce. We also had a huge advantage when it came to creating a family. Under Coach's leadership we learned an important lesson that plays out in our lives to this day. Serve others and make an impact.

As we recount our time State, we also list some of other influences. Surprisingly, Travis and I have actually helped each other grow in ways that we didn't really realize. I think this is something that would make Coach proud, as he would always encourage us, and all his athletes, to help each other be the best versions of ourselves we can be.

As I share this episode and recount the path that I have taken to get here, I am beyond grateful to everyone who has encouraged me along the way. Creating a podcast and starting a business is exciting, but it is also terrifying. Without my tribe, I don't think I would have ever had the courage to take the leap. So here's to them. To my wife, my kids, my parents, my friends, and all my mentors. Thank you.

Episode 1 - The Big Picture

Join us for Episode 1 as Travis Lozier and I get the ball rolling on this podcast idea we are calling the Improvement Nerds Podcast. The production isn't perfect, but it is definitely nerdy.

We were so excited to be embarking on this journey, that we weren't going to let perfect be the enemy of good. So we hit the record button and just started talking about the vision behind the Improvement Nerds podcast.

In this episode we highlight the "Why" behind the podcast and why I changed my LinkedIn profile to Improvement Nerd.
