    How to win the day with Ted Clouser, President and CEO of PCA Technology Solutions

    How to win the day with Ted Clouser, President and CEO of PCA Technology Solutions

    “Just tell yourself not to be depressed!” Today's guest Ted Clouser used to think this way, but was able to draw closer to God as he experienced depression for the first time. This interview was a great reminder. Despite ‘knowing’ the right steps to take, we can allow ourselves to become engrossed in our work, in making our careers our identity. Which can lead to things like depression, as it did for Ted.

    What is the key trait to winning at work and at home? (1:18)
    Being a workaholic. (5:35)

    How did work become his identity? (17:55)
    Ted’s Bio: 
    Personally, I grew up on a dairy farm and learned the value of family and hard work at a very young age.  I moved to Arkansas at the age of 18, met the love of my life, Stephanie, and married her in 1998 at the age of 20.  We have a daughter and son.
    Our family is passionate about our faith, financial wisdom and racial unity.  We believe strongly in authentic relationships and in encouraging the very best in all people.
    Professionally, Technology has been my platform of choice since the mid 90s.  Cybersecurity is more of a threat than ever and raising awareness is one of my passions.  I help you rest easier by teaching how to keep your technology secured, available, and efficient.  I have been blessed with great teammates, loyal clients, and an opportunity to care for others - another passion.
