The H&H Outfitters Podcast

How do you know when you really have a great idea? Without the proper systems we can fool ourselves into thinking we really have something when all re truly have is a big pile of nothing. Alex and Cobb explore the process of vetting good ideas. 

New mics and new sound! On this episode Cobb and Alex explore the idea of "doing what you love". Should you really turn your passion into a job? Is following your dreams and doing something you love really a great way to make a living? The guys know this path first hand so settle in for another thought provoking episode of the H&H Podcast.

In today's episode, Alex and Cobb discuss luck, human interpretation of it, and the reality of what it actually is. 

In our last podcast before Christmas Cobb and Alex mull over failing. Not how you would think though, failing forward. Instead of letting it eat you, learn and grow. Today's failure could well be the defining point for the rest of your life... how about making it a good point?

Something that is done habitually for better or for worse can be referred to as a tradition. Traditions is the subject of today's podcast, the holiday bug is in in us and Christmas is heavily covered but not the only aim. Alex and Cobb talk through their memories of traditions and how traditions can better us all, but also we need to can the bad ones!

On this road called life what is your drive? Alex and Cobb get real deep and personal talking history, bands, and H&H. Learn what drives them and what it means to be a driven person.

Do you think you know me just by looking at me? We are talking stereotypes and not just Magnavox or Bose. Alex and Cobb deep dive into what stereotypes are (definitions included!) and why we use them on ourselves and other people. Happy Thanksgiving to y'all as well!

Do you feel lucky punk? Nah, "Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity." Alex and Cobb break down preparation people and opportunity people to look at how both sides need representation in any business. Best of both worlds or lesser of two evils? Sometimes both are fitting but you need a third voice for a tie breaker. All these points and more, come chill with us.

Hello! Hi, how are you? Good? Glad we could have this little chat. I would like to direct your attention to this week's podcast on communication. Why is it important and what are we doing wrong? Alex and Cobb tackle these thoughts and more.

Halloween is nearly upon us! Looking ahead to the even blacker holiday that will nearly be upon us, Alex and Cobb break down E-Commerce with their views on shopping online, how it's evolving and creating it's place but injuring personal connections.

Greetings from the H&H Podcast crew! Alex and Cobb are out of the office this week and we didn't want to leave you hanging so we cobbled together some of our favorite clips from past podcasts. If you like any of the clips or want to catch the full story be sure to give the past podcasts a listen, you'll find a wealth of business and life stories straight from Alex and Cobb with a healthy dose of humor and kickin' tunes. Thanks for sticking with us!

The name of today's game (and everyday really) is why? In your personal life and in business you need to know why. Why are you doing what you are doing, why are you motivated, why are you washing your feet in the shower before your hair, why did you buy so many tacos? Alex and Cobb look at reasons for having a clearly documented why for yourself or business and how just having systems for moving forward isn't enough.

Cobb and Alex walk in, sit down and hash out how to grow pumpkins. Everyone is ready for Fall right? Maybe not pumpkins like what you think, the guys talk about being a person of integrity but still cutting bloat out when it hurts your life or your business.

Why? Who, what, where, why, when, & how. All are incredibly vital when starting a business or being in a relationship or just having a job. Today Alex and Cobb focus on the Why. Why did you start something, why do you continue to do something, and what to do when you've accomplished your 'why'.

Sorry for the delay, a portion of the audio dropped out, but we saved it with audio from the video recording. (Speaking of which the video podcasts are available on Youtube, check them out!) -- We're back! Find your voice and use it. Alex and Cobb discuss how a business can find it's voice and move in different directions than they originated in. Please send in questions and thoughts for a near future Q&A podcast!

This week is a beak from the serious mind benders that have been common place in the last number of episodes. Come and take a trip with Alex & Cobb through some memories of childhood, stories and experiences that built the two. You don't want to miss this one!

Inspiration vs motivation. Two separate forces that are often used interchangeably. Both are drivers in daily life and business, but how and what they are will define them. Alex and Cobb look at both and hash it out.

Marketing is the name of today's game and the this week's podcast theme as well. Alex and Cobb discuss the finer points of television advertising vs word of mouth and social media advertising.
