Bio form Mr Thank You:Long before I became Mr. Thank You, my lessons in sales and influence began in my teens as a semi-professional skateboarder pitching myself to companies for sponsorship. Competition was fierce! So how did I wind up working with some of the biggest brands in the industry when there were so many kids just as good or better than me? I became more “relevant” to the companies’ success than my competition.I stopped talking about my goals, and started asking about the brands’ goals. Instead of just wearing a t-shirt with a logo, I built relationships for my brands and actively fought for them to get shelf space at local skate shops. That wasn’t in my “job description,” but putting them first made me their go-to choice.As my skating career ended and my business career began, those lessons of human connection and relevance became the cornerstones of my sales success. In a few short years I became the #6 rep out of 10,000 sales associates across the country. When the housing crisis of the 2000’s hit, and many businesses were devastated, relationships I had built and nurtured stayed with me and supported our companies’ success.Looking back on those relationships and the human compassion and connection that carried us through that crisis is what inspired my year of thank you cards, which made national news and catapulted my philosophies into the public eye. After that, I started up Mr. Thank You as a speaking, coaching, and consulting business, and the rest is history.I’ve now been featured on ABC News, Fox News, Good Morning America, and helped global brands like Square, ReMax, and Fairway Mortgage, among many others, and my message is simple:We don’t need to optimize analytics more—we need human connection in our day-to-day business. Since founding Mr. Thank You, I’ve spoken to thousands of audience members, consulted corporations, and coached sales leaders nationwide on the importance and principles of customer experience, sales culture, and leadership.I want to show you how easy it is to create real results by investing in re-humanizing your workplace and marketplace.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-answer-is-yes--2903418/support.

In this episode, we sit down with Dallas Alexander, who grew up in a tiny town in Canada, spending his childhood outdoors and dreaming of hockey. As his junior hockey career came to a close, a chance encounter in the oil fields introduced him to the JTF 2 Special Operations Force. Intrigued by this elite unit, Dallas embarked on a journey within the Canadian military with the goal of joining their ranks. After successfully completing the rigorous selection process, he found himself integrated into JTF 2, where he was drawn to the sniper unit and quickly became a tier 1 sniper. Dallas and his team gained international recognition for achieving the world’s furthest sniper kill shot during a mission in Afghanistan. After serving in the military, Dallas discovered a new passion for music. The energy of live performance captivated him, and he is now channeling the same focus and determination he applied in his military career into songwriting and performing. We’re excited to share he has released his first album, along with his debut single “Adios Amigo,” which features a music video that commemorates his remarkable experience as a sniper. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that spans from the battlefield to the stage!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-answer-is-yes--2903418/support.

Stephen was inspired by watching his father, Jason Kina, work tirelessly from line cook to earning the prestigious position of Executive Chef. He is always learning and experimenting with new ways to bring the most delicious barbeque and the best experience to the Flathead Valley.

Bio From Seths webiste - My mama told me I'd be a great storyteller one day…My 4th-grade teacher hands my mother a test where I hadn't answered any of the questions. However, every inch of the test is covered in meticulously detailed drawings. With gleaming eyes, I explain the elaborate storyline that accompanies my drawings - tales of cowboys and horse thieves, bandits and train robberies. Despite my teacher's disapproval, my mom tells me I will be a great storyteller one day.Today, as The Cowboy Photographer, I continue to tell stories thanks to a mother who saw beyond the blank test to the potential in the margins. Through premium commercial photography & UGC partnerships, I help Western Brands build brand equity, brand awareness, and create authentic connections with the western community.CONTACT: Email: [email protected]: Boot Barn, Amazon, Toyota, Warner Bros Pictures, HbarC Ranchwear, Serratelli Hats, Madison Creek Outfitters, Warner Bro's Music, Interscope, Master Supply Co, BMG, Redwest Fest, Golf Genius, and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-answer-is-yes--2903418/support.
