    Choices Create Change Podcast | Culture Is a System, Not a Slogan (with Carrie Rogers) | Episode 13

    Choices Create Change — Episode 13: Culture Is a System, Not a Slogan (with Carrie Rogers) What does it really take to build a business — and a team — that thrives under pressure? In this episode, Bobby Mink sits down with Carrie Rogers: U.S. Marine veteran, business coach, speaker, restaurant owner, and author of the upcoming book Culture Is a System, Not a Slogan. Carrie shares the hard-won lessons from a journey that runs from the Marine Corps to 16 years helping build a residential home builder, to teaching at Kennesaw State, to launching and scaling her own restaurant — Rally Point, which exists to honor and support veterans, first responders, and their families. Along the way she and Bobby dig into the practical stuff most owners never slow down to figure out: hiring for heart over résumé, managing cash flow so it doesn't slip through your fingers, the difference between financial and managerial accounting, building processes that create real accountability, and why your people have to come before your customers. If you run a business, lead a team, or are thinking about starting something of your own, this one's packed with usable wisdom — and Carrie's reminder that success comes from tiny steps, not quantum leaps.

    Choices Create Change Podcast | Chess Not Checkers | Episode 12

    Choices Create Change — Episode 12: Chess, Not Checkers (Playing the Long Game in Leadership) Most leaders play checkers — fast moves, quick reactions, immediate gratification. The best ones play chess. In this episode, Bobby Mink of Choice Consulting and Management unpacks the book Chess Not Checkers by Mark Miller and Randy Gravitt, and shows you how to stop reacting and start leading the long game. Bobby walks through the five moves that separate chess leaders from checkers leaders: bet on leadership, act as one, win the heart, excel at execution, and it's your move. Along the way he digs into setting the pace for your team, hiring the heart (not just the résumé), building your bench before a crisis hits, creating real clarity, celebrating the 90% that's going right, and surrounding yourself with the right people in the right seats. Whether you're running a company, leading a department, or guiding a family, you'll walk away with a more intentional, more thoughtful way to lead — plus plenty of practical questions to ask yourself this week.

    Choices Create Change Podcast | Clarity | Episode 11

    Choices Create Change — Episode 11: Clarity, Accountability & Trust Clarity, accountability, and trust — three things that quietly make or break every team, family, and organization. In this episode, Bobby Mink of Choice Consulting and Management breaks down all three. Bobby unpacks why so many problems start with simple confusion — "they should have known," "we always do this," "everybody knows" — and how those assumptions cost us at work and at home. From there he gets into what real accountability looks like (and why it has to start with you), and closes with an honest conversation about trust: passive-aggressive habits, emotional maturity, and learning to assume the best in the person across the table. Whether you're a business owner, a manager, a parent, or a spouse, you'll walk away with practical questions to ask yourself and your team — plus a little homework to put it into practice. Chapters: 00:00 Introduction to Clarity, Accountability, and Trust 07:21 Understanding Accountability in Organizations 11:57 Building Trust in Relationships In this episode: • Why a lack of clarity is usually the first thing to break down • How to know your people actually understand what's expected • What accountability really means — and why it starts with you • Building trust by leading with the right heart and attitude • Emotional intelligence: setting your "baggage" aside to have hard conversations • Taking the high road and assuming the best in others "Consistency, simplicity, and repetition is what it's all about." — Jack Welch Learn more about Choice Consulting and our services at ChoiceConsultingMan.com/Podcast.
