    S2 Episode 5: The Monkey, The Moment, and the Mindset That Changes Outcomes

    Send us Fan Mail What do a cruise, a rodeo cowboy, and a monkey have in common?  More than you’d think. In this episode, Cory and Camille of True Grit Edge share one of the most unforgettable moments from their trip—yes, it involves a monkey—and how it perfectly illustrates a principle that can change the way you handle everything in life: E + R = O (Event + Response = Outcome). You can’t control what happens to you.  But you always control how you respond. Through humor, real-life stories, and honest conversation, Cory and Camille break down:  Why your first reaction isn’t always your best one  How to pause and “run your R” instead of reacting  The importance of knowing your non-negotiables  Why being kind matters more than just being “nice”  How your response shapes not just outcomes—but who you become At True Grit Edge, this concept is at the core of how you lead, live, and show up under pressure. Because whether it’s a tough conversation, a stressful moment, or something completely unexpected…  the outcome is still yours to influence. 🎧 Real, relatable, and packed with perspective you can use immediately—this is one you won’t forget.

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Barn to Boardroom, Cory and Camille of True Grit Edge sit down with David Woods, founder and chairman of Magellan Executive Partners, to unpack one of the most powerful mindset shifts in leadership: reframing.

Together, Cory, Camille, and David explore:  Why 90% of your happiness is shaped by your interpretation—not your circumstances How to shift from “I have to” → “I get to” The power of listening—and knowing when to pause instead of react  How creativity occurs on the backside of “no” And how reframing can reduce stress, build stronger teams, and transform your perspective Because the difference between frustration and growth…  is often just how you choose to see it. 🎧 Insightful, practical, and packed with real leadership wisdom—this episode will challenge the way you think.

    S2 Episode 3:The Standard Is the Standard with Jade Vecchio

    Send us Fan Mail Everyone assumes Camille is the tightly wound planner who needs the full game plan… and that Cory just shows up for the party. They’d be wrong. In this episode of Barn to Boardroom, the roles get flipped. Cory owns being the structured, standards-driven planner, while Camille surprises everyone with her more laid-back, let-it-unfold approach. Then Jade Vecchio joins the conversation — and brings clarity. We dive into: Why standards are the true separator in today’s business worldThe pillars he built his company onWhy lowering the bar is never the moveThe influence of discipline, grit, and a little Tiger Style mentalityJade also answers a powerful question:  What’s the most important thing people should know about you? His answer might surprise you — and it says everything about how he leads and lives. And because this is Barn to Boardroom… we even get into Jade’s musician background and the fact that he can play “Big Iron” by Marty Robbins on the fly — which feels especially fitting here at Big Iron Ranch. From “chores got done” to building something that lasts, this episode is about identity, discipline, and refusing to lower your standards — even when the world does. Because when the bar drops… the ones who refuse to drop theirs stand out.

And most of all, we thank everyone who listened, supported, and helped make Season One what it was.
