Ted Lasso said, “Taking on a challenge is a lot like riding a horse, isn’t it? If you’re comfortable while you’re doing it, you’re probably doing it wrong.” Tbh, I don’t think I’ve ever ridden a horse before, but I did ride a camel once… regardless you’ll see where this ties in later.I’m the third generation to come from a family line of salespeople. My grandpa, Roger founded his own business back in 1964 providing the very best in equipment, parts, and services for the agribusiness industry in the Midwest. My father took it over in 1985, and now it was handed down to my brother in 2019. One thing my grandfather said to me before he passed away is “Not matter how much you think you know in life; you’ll still die stupid” (Pretty dark huh?)You know, he has a point. Even though I may think I know everything, what my grandpa said to me that day stuck with me, and every day since I’m reminded of that.To not dismiss the truth of what he said, I’d still like to disagree with my grandfather. As the foundation, he paved for our family business allowed me to have a great upbringing that most kids don’t have the chance to experience. For that I’m forever grateful he took on the challenge of starting his own business from nothing and finding his own way some 55 years ago. In my situation, I could have done what most people do. Graduate high school, go to an in-state university, get a degree, join the family business, and then get the opportunity to run it one day. Unfortunately, growing up with two older brothers hitting that parlay was going to be tough! (I did go 3 for 5). Don’t get me wrong joining the family business would have been great and working alongside family would have been nothing short of “eventful”. That could have been my journey, only it wasn't. No, I knew I had to do what my grandpa did back when he was my age... Take a leap of faith, bet on myself, and create my own path. So here I am, an Iowa Native who spent some time in “The land of 10,000 lakes” for 4 years and has now found my way down to Dallas, Texas! Now, I work for Anaplan, a software organization that is pioneering the new age of planning what we call enterprise “Connected Planning” (if you're still planning in spreadsheets... we should chat). I started as an SDR, spent 2.5 years as an SDR Manager, and know I oversee Global SDR Operations & Enablement.That's my story so far! If you're still reading this we should connect! Until then, here’s to taking on new challenges, being uncomfortable, and leading with a growth mindset…oh and doing my best not to die a stupid.
