    A Keynote, Pt 1: The Power of Gratitude | Keeping Healthy Perspective No Matter What Happens - Tebo Dental Companywide Meeting

    What's up guys, it's Brandon Akira, VP of Marketing & Business Development at Tebo Dental here. I thought that during these unsettling times, it'd be a good idea to help us realize the incredible opportunity we have to take a step back, appreciate what we have, and dedicate some time to recalibrate— finding new ways to self improve and enhance our lives. This episode is an excerpt from Tebo Dental's Annual Companywide Meeting, where I delivered the opening keynote to 120+ of our employees that staff our 6 practice locations across Atlanta. With everything going on right now, I couldn't think of a better time to maintain a strong mindset through the power of rooting ourselves in gratitude. Hope this helps offer some needed perspective right now, and I hope everyone remains safe and healthy during this time.  Cheers! -B.

    Social Media + Recruiting: Why Your Employees Are So Important To Your Business's Online Presence | Glassdoor + LinkedIn + Facebook & More Explored for the Career-Minded in 2020

    What's up guys! It's been a longtime coming, but after a hiatus, The Think Tank is back, exploring what we hope will provide some great value for businesses of all sizes looking to scale in 2020. Employee retention is so important in any business, so this close look with my team as we meet to discuss the direction of social media, recruiting and more in 2020 is something I hope you all will really enjoy. So much is changing in the landscape of digital, and new apps and platforms are becoming obsolete just as soon as people are catching on to how valuable they are. But make no mistake! I believe that the #1 most important thing is how you treat your customers and employees. No business is perfect, and the way to earn trust is to always do your best by them. We also take a look at Facebook and new features they're deploying that are MUST-HAVES for social media engagement, presence-management on employee engagement & recruiting powerhouse, Glassdoor, and why every serious professional needs to treat LinkedIn like an online resume.  Hope you find some great value in this episode... and PS— it feels so good to be BACK, friends. -B.Akira

    How I Grew My Instagram To 50K Followers | Why Work Ethic & Authenticity Are Key If You're Going To Win with Kevin-Tan Perkins

    For our 4th episode, we sat down with pro tennis player and actor (Sleepy Hollow, HGTV), Kevin Tan-Perkins, to talk about why a strong work ethic and being true to yourself is so critical to winning in one's career. We also talked about the value of having personal relationships with people that support your professional goals. And over time, "Kev" has amassed over 50K Followers on IG so he gave us some great insight on how to build a following from scratch, and more importantly, what type of mentality to maintain as you become more popular on social. Last but not least, in the spirit of fitness (since Ryan, Kev, and myself are all highly active athletics), our friends over at Kill Cliff sent us their new all-natural energy drink, “Ignite,” so we figured we’d give it a go on-air. All the flavors were awesome, and KC definitely got us IGNITED! For more on Kev, check him out on IG: @Kevotano

    Why Every Business Needs A Great Company Culture | The Importance of Having Self-Awareness & Tenure with Samentha Carpenter of Lululemon

With over a decade of experience in the finance industry prior to joining Lululemon, Sam had some amazing insights to offer on how self-awareness is a fundamental key to surpassing any goal. We also discussed how understanding how companies value tenure can give any motivated professional a competitive edge in their career.
