One day I decided to do a podcast to share stories from awesomers around the world that I found both inspiring and instructive. It was at that time I wondered what format my podcast should take in terms release timings, length of episodes, etc...I got tired of wondering and just decided that one episode per day seemed like a good idea. (Retrospective Reality —> NERDS, that’s a lot of work!)When I began I shared my mission, vision and values in episode one and promised at least 180 episodes. The rest is history. The podcast passed 300 episodes and continues to provide new episodes when compelling topics arise.

Following an acquisition of assets by Longhua I assisted in setting up a North American business structure to drive e-commerce and wholesale sales channels. Through the management of FSC forestry on lands in China, through our manufacturing facilities in Anhui China the company grew very quickly. We established clear sales channels to help each customer base focus on their own results to minimize channel conflict. We worked with some of the top distribution and retail big box companies in the world to achieve massive growth at a time when the market overall was shrinking. The team was amazing and really did break new barriers in manufacturing development and customer service.

Also a finalist for the Entrepreneur of the Year. iFLOOR has risen to become one the largest direct sellers of flooring in the world.Today the ownership has changed a couple times and it is not a company I am proud of or can even recommend, but the hundreds of people who helped it start for the first decade will always be superstars to me.

Midlakes was founded in 1959 in Bellevue Washington by Gerald Stauffer and I took over the company and the very talented group there managed to grow it to a top dealer in the region and joined a franchise group and rose to the top 25 of that group quickly nationwide.
