Better the Pond---PondCast Warren Barry

Chris Knight of Monteyne Architecture and James Melendez of Bobcat Construction.  These two companies do business together in Winnipeg Manitoba. These two gentlemen and their companies work together to create high performance, world class construction, and create healthy spaces and healthy environments for people to live and work.  Eavesdrop on our conversation about their stories and backstories. What I listened to was two remarkable stories about two completely separate families that immigtrated to Canada, and created a quality life for their families. What really made me pay attention was how Chris and James are still doing the same thing for families. Building quality buildings for people to have a quality life for their families. As Chris said, a place for mental ease to dwell within.  

These two gentlemen build a better pond for people to live. Ladies and gentlemen, Chris Knight, and James Melendez.    

 

 Chris Haney is the CEO of DBBE connect out of Folsom California. This was an incredibly impactful conversation which I didn't want to end. Chris is a disabled veteran with an incredible back story. The thing that I loved about talking to Chris was his attitude about being of service to others looking for obstacles on a daily basis and clearly explaining to others what you don’t know. The thing about Chris is it’s not about what he does. It’s about who he is. Chris gets to better the pond by helping veterans through the Suki Chris Golf Extravaganza, Community Connect and so many other venues. Chris creates impact. Ladies and gentlemen, we solute Mr. Christopher Haney.

Three words that encapsulate Josh Wood and Westshore Home. Values, Culture, and Language.  Josh Wood is the Chief Development Officer of Westshore Home based out of Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania.  

Westshore Home is a home renovation company, but like nothing that you have ever seen before. They are all about extreme ownership, default aggressive. When have you heard a renovation company say that.  

Josh is all about leaning into relationships. It’s hard to be angry at someone at the same time, sincerely serving them. 

Josh and Westshore better the pond by bringing happiness into every home. This was an amazing conversation, and I am honored to introduce to you, Josh Wood.

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.
