Road Warrior Widow(er) Sales On The Side
-
- Business
Are you someone who travels constantly? Do you have a spouse or significant other at home, holding down the fort while you’re gone?
As the Road Warrior, it is easy to lose focus on what makes our work
possible. The amazing people left behind, albeit temporarily, but left behind, nonetheless, are at home base doing their thing. Hopefully, you are lucky enough to have a mutually supportive partnership…but maybe you don’t have that luxury. Either way, it seemed important to have a conversation with a small representation of the Road Warrior’s Widow(er). What happens while we were gone???
Today’s guests include:
Brenten and Hillary Kinnison- Brenten is the Road Warrior and Hillary is the driving force.
Tim Neuman – This is my husband, and, of course, I have been the Road Warrior in his world.
Hillary Kinnison is the powerhouse that keeps the Kinnison train running. In her words, much to her parents’ dismay, she does not currently use her Bachelor’s degree in Communication nor her Master’s in Sports Management. She did, however, previously put them to use in her pre-children life while working in public relations, for an athletic department, and in her family’s box business. Again, in Hillary’s words, she says she’d like to claim domination as a full-time Stay-At-Home-Mom (SAHM), but if cooking and cleaning are the defining factors here, then maybe moderately killing it. The family would likely give 3 stars for laundry and 4 for fun. She’s often chauffeuring the crew around town and cheering on the sidelines, as well as taking long walks alone, whenever possible. With this being the first year having all three kids in school, Hillary says there may be a new business venture in the works!
Brenten is a 2006 graduate of the University of Kansas and started his sales career in yellow pages advertising. He broke into the Medical Device industry in 2007. He worked for a medical device specialty distributor (sales Specialist), large device corporation (Kimberly Clark- Territory manager), and lastly in the medical device manufacturing side with BSD (Regional Sales manager) and UreSil
LLC (Regional sales manager, VP of International sales, Chief Sales
officer-Current). Brenten has been in the industry for sixteen and a half years, allowing him to meet some of his best friends, all while traveling the world.
Brenten and Hillary have been married for 11 years and have three awesome kids (Halle-9, Quinn-7, Carsen-5).
Fortunate enough to have Tim Neuman, my spouse, on this episode. He’s supported me for over 10 years of almost constant travel, in which time, we had two babies. He’s a literal and figurative Rockstar. Tim moved to Indiana in the early 2000s, subsequently spending about 20 years in the wireless sales industry. While music has always been in Tim’s life, it wasn’t until 2014 that he took the leap into making it a career. He continues to play music full time, plays in several bands, and released an album (available to stream). In addition, he supports, edits, produces, and provides the original music for this Podcast!
Tim and I have been married 17 years (this September) and have two girls (Avery-almost 11, and Olivia – 5).
This was a fun discussion. Hope you enjoy!
