    More Than Another Insurance Renewal: Building Trust with Matt Gorham

    What if insurance felt less like paperwork and more like a power tool? In this episode, Shandon sits down with Matt Gorham of Rancho Mesa Insurance to talk about building real trust and turning insurance into a business asset, not a once-a-year headache. Matt shares how a contractor-first approach, trade-specific knowledge, and proactive planning can help you protect your people, your projects, and your peace of mind. They also explore how safety culture strengthens your story long before a claim ever happens, plus the tools and resources that help contractors stay ready and resilient. The big idea: when trust leads the conversation, insurance stops being a checkbox and starts supporting the way you build.

    Delegation is Leadership - At Work and at the Christmas Table

    As the year winds down and the holidays approach, Shandon reflects on one of her biggest leadership lessons of the year: delegation. Through candid stories from professional 360 reviews, an end-of-year team celebration, and holiday traditions at home, this episode explores the shift from control to trust—and from delegation as task-offloading to delegation as invitation. Whether leading a team, a project, or a family gathering, Shandon reminds us that when we invite others in, we don’t lose control—we build connection, confidence, and culture. Leadership isn’t about doing it all—it’s about trusting others, sharing ownership, and building something meaningful together. Want to connect with Shandon?
