The Connectshare Podcast

On this episode of the ConnectShare podcast, Spencer sits down with print pro Aubrey Peterson and storyteller Steve Heumann—plus founder Brent—to unpack what a true growth partner actually is (hint: it’s not the person sliding you a card while already scanning the room). They swap origin stories, from an Arizona-to-Utah leap and a six-kid “compromise” to an internship two blocks from home that accidentally launched a TV career, all while gently roasting the scratch-my-back school of networking. The takeaway is simple and slightly subversive: show up ready to serve, plant the seed, and wait—because the businesses that last still grow from real friendship, not a hard pitch.

In this Connect Share episode, host Spencer joins founder Brent Crabtree with Shawn Richards and Rich Tyson to explore how deep “quantum” connections turn into strategic partnerships that actually stick. Shawn shares his approach to those high-stakes fifteen-minute intros (plus the unexpected fact that he’s a licensed locksmith), while Rich recounts an improbable career arc that led to an AI coaching partnership with a neighbor who offered to build the tech for free. Between war stories of alliances that unraveled over broken trust and the reminder that the best collaborators are people you genuinely enjoy, the group lands on a simple truth: the right partnerships can turn one-plus-one into five or ten. 

In the first official ConnectShare Podcast, Brent Crabtree, Shailesh Ghimire, Richard Webb, and Spencer Wright discuss what makes ConnectShare different from traditional networking. The conversation explores the value of building deeper, long-term "quantum-level" relationships founded on trust, consistency, and genuine connection, rather than simply exchanging business cards.The podcast highlights the importance of investing in relationships over time and demonstrates how meaningful connections can create lasting personal and professional opportunities.
