    Episode 168 - Adrian Thacker - Proficiency Backgrounds - "Being Very Proficient Part II"

    Part II of Adrian Thacker and Proficiency Backgrounds is on the schedule today, a little late in the drop zone because of the schedule for GRP Studios, but it is finally up and running. Adrian talked a little bit deeper on what they do, moving from just a screening/background checks to a whole back end support for businesses to make sure they are only paying for what they need and being totally compliant in whatever industry they operate in. We talked about how some companies only care about the money they are making and not the impact they are making on the community and how Proficiency Backgrounds can perhaps change that narrative. Also the impact of AI was discussed and how cost "savings" with AI are not always being seen by the consumer as well as the loss of customer service and a disconnect with the community that the business serves!!

    Episode 167: Adrian Thacker - Proficiency Background - "Being Very Proficient Part 1"

    Episode 167 of the Check Your Six podcast brought a great guest back into GRP Studios, Adrian Thacker of Proficiency Background Services. This is Part 1 of 4 where we start start to build on creating a podcast for Adrian about his industry. It has been a little over 4 years since he was in the first time and things have changed quite a bit for him, his business and the industry. We talked about why he decided to move into the arena and not the engineering that he loved, but an experience that he had in an employment process really changed the course of his life. He determined that what he went through is a struggle that more people that we realize face and especially those from lower income backgrounds, may not have the ability to fight. I thoroughly enjoyed having Adrian in the studio for these sessions and I can't wait to hear what he has coming in 2026. You can find out more about him on his website, https://proficiencybackground.com/, this isn't your daddy's old style background checks, this is cutting edge.  Email us at tim@grpstudios.com

    Episode 166: Staci Talley - StaciTalley.com - "Talley Up The Score"

    Long time friend Staci Talley stopped by GRP Studios for Episode 166 of the Check Your Six Podcast. Staci and I met probably close to 15 years ago or more when we were both involved with Marty Jean-Louis and the My Christian Films studio here in Orlando. We have watched her go from someone that was looking to pursue an acting career to a producer for national accounts working with ad agencies. Her decision to be a part of a Jordan Brady workshop/seminar helped her begin to understand what is available and to not be afraid of stepping out into the unknown. We talked about her realizing that we can't do everything, get a good accountant if you want to start your business and NETWORKING, NETWORKING, NETWORKING, especially when you are trying to get into this industry. Also talked a lot about her work with WIFT Florida, her involvement now as VP of the Florida WIFT and the value there is in being a part of that group as well as the Film Florida and your local film commissions throughout Florida. Always a great time when we can meet and every once in a while actually call on her to help with projects!! Email us at tim@grpstudios.com

    Episode 165: Tim Proctor - "Life, Death & Charlie Kirk"

    Episode 165 is somewhat different from first 164 episode that I have done and it comes after a bit of a hiatus. We have been pretty busy and had some issues with the A/C unit in the recording studio but thanks to Shaw Air, they wrangled the problem and got us back up and running. This episode actually focuses on something that I have not talked about much at all on the podcast, that is my faith and being a Christ follower in the wake of Charlie Kirks death. It has made me realize that I have not lived the faith that I have proclaimed for so long and have not been vocal about my hope of eternity in Christ. The political climate seems to have created the inability of people to have differences of opinion/belief/view without becoming offended and the the circumstances around Charlies death are proof of that. I know some will be offended at the topic but as I say in the podcast, you have to choose to be offended. Not trying to hammer anyone over the head, just saying what I believe and not concerned anymore with the results of speaking truth.  Email us at tim@grpstudios.com

    Episode 164: Tony Boni/Sean Esler - Be The Change Today Foundation - "Just Be The Change"

    Tony Boni and Sean Esler stopped by the GRP Studios with some Seminole County H.S Interns that are working with them and the Be The Change Today Foundation. Tony and Sean have both been on the podcast before in different capacities but today was all about Be The Change Today Foundation and what they are doing to change our community. It started with poker tournaments that raised money for specific charities, which was tremendously successful but the direction has evolved and developed to include future pickleball tournaments, domino tournaments and other options to raise money for charities that can't always do it themselves. A lot of help came from the AFP - Association of Fundraising Professionals but we also talked about how they are adapting the original idea into a much larger scale for putting the "Fun" back in FUNdraising. Talked about charity marketing, the Seminole County Schools Intern Program, how the donation dollars are used and what the BTCTF operational costs are, how charities will be vetted that will be receiving the donations and some other topics that help tell their story. Looking forward to what they will be doing going forward and how much of an impact they can make!

    Episode 163: Jake Dyal - Certus Core - "Analyze This Data"

    Data and Analytics were the topic of discussion on Episode 163 of the Check Your Six podcast. Army veteran Jake Dyal with Certus Core based in Tampa, dialed in to talk about what it is that they do and how they are handling the challenges in collecting and analyzing data for clients, especially in the military and national security arena. Jake's time in the Army provided him with the education and experience that led him to pursuing his career in the private sector in collecting and analyzing data for a myriad of sources and then providing mission specific content to their clients. We talked about the changing face of war, new and emerging technologies including the use of AI, how growing and adding investors can sometimes change the perspective of a business when investors are involved. We talked about the challenges they have in this industry with hiring and the expectation of the new hires coming in and Certus Core's expectations of those new staff members. Edge computing, sensor data and the tools that are involved which continue to develop and expand at an ever increasing rate, data in defense and the potential challenges that involve ethical collection and use of that date were just a couple of other things we discusses on the episode.
