Better the Pond---PondCast Warren Barry

Pierre Mousseau is the real deal.  Pierre is the CEO and founder of High Energy Transport in Bolton, Ontario Canada. When Pierre talks about communication, vulnerability, and authenticity, he doesn’t just say it, he lives it.  Pierre’s story is incredible, and you have to listen to how he became his own super hero. Interesting when he was voted by his teachers to be the least likely to succeed.  

Pierre left our discussion with the quote, It’s nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nice. That is how you better the pond.

Brent Stone.  We should call this conversation the hospitality episode.  

Brent Stone is the Restaurant Manager of the Marriott Delta South Hotel in Calgary Alberta. There have been so many experiences of hospitality that I have experienced at this hotel, and I wanted to share the story.  Brent Stone was just the person to do it.  

I love Brent’s story of doing land survey work for his Dad, to commerce, to flying planes, to computer work, to becoming a sommelier, working in the cannabis industry and now a life in the hospitality industry.  

But Brent has taken himself wherever he went, and gets to better the pond by caring for every person he comes in contact with. Not all hospitality costs money. Thank you Brent for everything you do to better the pond.

Dave Schellenberg is the CFO of Decor Cabinets based out of Morden Manitoba Canada.  I had Stan Pauls, the CEO of Decor on previously as a guest, and wanted to continue the conversation with more of the team, as what Decor Cabinets does to Better the Pond is exceptional.  

Dave was raised with very high values. His father liked to influence peoples hearts, and his mother influenced their heads.  With Dave’s competitive nature and drive, he has learned from his mistakes, and in turn understands the true power of leadership and how it impacts the people around him.  

Listen to what Dave and Decor are doing to Better the Pond, they are creating ripples all over the world.
