Coffee Side Chats With Paul Stippich Paul Stippich

I have been pumped about being a father for the past seven years. It hasn’t always gone well as I have blown up and screwed up but I realize this is a process. Take a moment to listen and see what being a father of seven years has taught me and how it applies to all facets of our lives.

So much fun talking with Billy Barnett of East West Express.  He and his family have done an amazing job growing their business and treating there drivers well.  Since it is still driver appreciation week, we talked about what efforts East West Express does to make their drivers feel known and appreciated. Billy talks about what they have been doing, are currently doing, and what plans they have in place to continually improve their driver experience.

If you are a carrier who is looking for ways to make sure your drivers feel appreciated, this episode is for you. If you are a company and want to know how to make your employees feel essential and like they actually matter to your company, this episode is for you.  If you are a driver and need to be reminded from others why you and your story matters, this episode is of you.

If you are a young professional or graduate there are a few things that you need to be doing. Volunteering, following up, and figuring out how your degree applies to life. In this episode we look at how these all apply to building relationships and help you deep in your impact within your community.

This episode is for alllllllll the drivers out there who keep the world spinning. Driver appreciation week starts 9/13/20 and I hope you feel encouraged from this episode. This episode is all about how when we don’t have context or relationship, frustration sets in. Let’s take a moment to pause and try to understand the other side. 

I also want to thank Emmanuel Acho for having his YouTube channel and challenging me and so many others with his conversations. Link: https://www.youtube.com/c/Acho

Following up is so important for everyone, especially those not in a sales roll. If you want to further strengthen your relationships, you do so by following up.

We are all longing for community. In this episode I make the case for why it is so important and some ways to start creating it with others.
