Join us on The Success Blueprint Podcast for Episode 30 as we sit down with Paul Henderson, Executive Vice President of the Idaho Spud Kings and an 18-year veteran of the Idaho Falls Chuckers. From his humble beginnings as a college intern at Melaleuca Field to helping launch and grow one of the most passionate junior hockey fanbases in Southeast Idaho, Paul's story is a masterclass in community-driven sports management.In this conversation, Paul pulls back the curtain on what makes the Spud Kings a sell-out success in a non-traditional hockey market — from leveraging existing baseball relationships and corporate sponsorships to tapping into the energy of a passionate local community. He also shares the real challenges of running two sports organizations simultaneously, the grind of managing overlapping seasons, and why finding the right people through the intern pipeline has been the secret to building a winning front-office culture.Paul reflects on the Spud Kings' remarkable journey from a 0-16 start in their inaugural season to becoming champions, and what that championship means for the city of Idaho Falls. He also highlights how the new arena is transforming the entertainment landscape in Southeast Idaho — bringing world-class concerts and events to a community that once had to drive to Salt Lake City or Boise for a big show.Whether you are a sports fan, an aspiring sports business professional, or someone who loves a great community success story, this episode is packed with genuine insight and inspiration.0:00 Introduction — Meet Paul Henderson0:31 Paul's 18-Year Journey with the Idaho Falls Chuckers1:22 Role as Executive VP of the Idaho Spud Kings1:56 Why the Spud Kings Took Off in a Non-Hockey Market3:35 Fighting in Hockey — The Rules Explained4:38 The Real Secret Behind the Spud Kings' Success6:26 Building a Winning Staff Through the Intern Pipeline9:04 The Biggest Day-to-Day Challenges in Sports Management9:58 The Most Rewarding Moments Working in Community Sports11:57 Managing the Transition Between Hockey and Baseball Seasons12:42 From 0-16 to Champions — The Spud Kings' Journey14:56 How to Get Tickets & What's Coming Up for the Spud Kings15:53 How the New Arena is Changing Entertainment in Idaho Falls17:07 Closing Thoughts & FarewellSuccessBlueprintPodcast #SuccessBlueprint #PaulHenderson #IdahoSpudKings #SpudKings #IdahoFallsChuckers #Chuckers #IdahoFalls #SoutheastIdaho #IdahoSports #LocalSports #CommunitySportsConnect with us!

Today we unpack why affordability often dies by a thousand “nice” payments—$100K trucks, unused toys, and bigger-than-needed homes—and how to course-correct. We get practical about purging, renting vs. owning (boats, campers, even vacation homes), setting personal rules and routines, and the mindset shift new agents need to survive beyond their sphere. If you want less stress, more margin, and a smarter path into (and through) real estate, this one’s for you.Meet the GuestsCarlos VillagomezWebsite: https://villasteam.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mtbrealtorThe Hustle Behind: Real Conversations: https://open.spotify.com/show/2woMGn1unqrPAdrGz8pdj3?si=509766380e5d4affYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheHustleBehindPodcastBrad Camphouse (The Bearded Realtor)Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.bearded.realtorZillow: https://www.zillow.com/profile/TheBeardedRealtor1Chapters00:00 – Intro & the affordability trap: lifestyle creep and big payments05:20 – “Normal” got bigger: house sizes, storage, and the stuff problem11:45 – Purge & simplify: totes, RVs, Costa Rica, and mental overhead19:10 – Saying yes = saying no: priorities, usage vs. fantasy, renting options26:05 – Rules & routines: standards that hold when motivation doesn’t32:40 – Mindset > tactics: abundance, inputs → vibe, sails vs. anchors39:50 – New-agent playbook: grind early, build pipeline, learn from anyone (Wrap)#RealEstatePodcast #Affordability #MindsetMatters #Simplicity #RealtorTipsFollow Us: Instagram: https://instagram.com/griderpetersonrealestateFacebook: https://facebook.com/GriderPetersonYoutube: https://youtube.com/@GriderandPetersonRealEstateTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@griderpetersonrealestateX: https://x.com/GriderPetersonListen to The Success Blueprint: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-success-blueprint-with-the-grider-and-peterson-team/id1831318703Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@GriderandPetersonRealEstateAmazon: https://music.amazon.com.mx/podcasts/911c1355-b2c4-4289-b739-15c8e0cac3d8/the-success-blueprint-with-the-grider-and-peterson-teamSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2TMqrct5zfUm2AOluyfjPa?si=416134195c944700

On today’s Success Blueprint, we sit down with Aaron Johnson—CFO/partner at Bateman Hall and co-founder of Catis Builders. Aaron grew up on a dairy farm, learned construction the hard way, fell in love with accounting at Utah State, and ultimately helped scale one of the region’s most trusted commercial contractors—while launching a separate residential arm the right way.We dig into culture (why he hires local and avoids the “we’re family” trap), conservative finance (cash - hype, bonds - bravado), and decision-making (say no when the numbers or gut don’t line up). Aaron also shares how “wasting time” with the right people leads to breakthrough ideas, why singles and doubles compound, and his simple blueprint for sustainable success.Meet Aaron JohnsonCFO/Partner at Bateman Hall; Co-Founder at Catis Builders.

Part 2 goes from theory to tactics. We stack standards over resolutions, then break down the two big levers that actually keep goals alive all year: the Law of Association (who you’re around) and the Law of Accountability (who checks you). We map outcome → process with leading indicators (calls, conversion rates, cycle time) instead of chasing lagging results, and we hit why coachability beats ego when your numbers don’t match your story. Plus: how to find mentors (and pass the 5am test), why reporting back deepens those relationships, and how “competitive togetherness” builds a winning team.You’ll learn: how to convert resolutions into daily standards, set trackable inputs, calculate realistic sales math, choose the right rooms to be in, and build a mentor-powered process you’ll actually follow.Chapters00:00 – Part 1 recap & why resolutions die by Jan 1702:15 – Standards > resolutions: build habits you can live with05:40 – The two laws: Association & Accountability10:22 – Team culture: competitive togetherness vs. competing against each other13:18 – Self-accountability: judge results, not intentions18:02 – Leading vs. lagging indicators (sales cycles, conversion math)23:45 – Coachability, social-media illusions, and honest metrics32:40 – Lone wolf to mentored: the 5am test, report back, next steps#TheSuccessBlueprint #ChadKirby #EntrepreneurMindset #StandardsOverResolutions #Association #Accountability #LeadingIndicators #SalesProcess #ConversionRates #Coachability #TeamCulture #PersonalDevelopment #GoalSetting #DailyHabits #Productivity #Leadership #Mentorship #Consistency #ProcessOverOutcome #MindsetMattersMeet the guests & where to find themChad Kirby — Communicator & coach focused on declarations, confidence by design, and turning little wins into big momentum.Book: https://www.amazon.com/Speak-Get-What-You-Want/dp/B0D4S5DTFPInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/speakandgetwhatyouwant/Website: https://speakandgetwhatyouwant.com/More with Chad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSNQ74hrzA8&list=PLVIeVVVQUzSFGTI6rYRq263y9tUDwCis-&index=17Garrett Foster — To learn more about Garrett Foster and Prevail Legacy Builders visit: https://www.prevaillegacy.com/More with Garrett: https://youtu.be/ayWBchFg70o?si=BAQ48Q-OKapIlablConnect with us!

Consistency beats motivation. In this round-table, we dig into why clear outcomes and boringly reliable processes create real results — and how affirmations, tiny wins, and the right team roles build unshakable confidence. Chad Kirby shares practical mindset tools (declarations, weekly reviews, “keep your promises to yourself”) while Garrett breaks down systems that remove friction so the work actually gets done.You’ll learn: how to pair outcome clarity with process discipline, set standards that kill excuses, put people in energy-giving roles, use Gap vs. Gain to feel happier while you grow, and prep like a pro even when it isn’t glamorous.Meet the guests & where to find themChad Kirby — Communicator & coach focused on declarations, confidence by design, and turning little wins into big momentum.Book: https://www.amazon.com/Speak-Get-What-You-Want/dp/B0D4S5DTFPInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/speakandgetwhatyouwant/Website: https://speakandgetwhatyouwant.com/More with Chad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSNQ74hrzA8&list=PLVIeVVVQUzSFGTI6rYRq263y9tUDwCis-&index=17Garrett Foster — To learn more about Garrett Foster and Prevail Legacy Builders visit: https://www.prevaillegacy.com/More with Garrett: https://youtu.be/ayWBchFg70o?si=BAQ48Q-OKapIlablConnect with us!

Darrin Johnson joins The Success Blueprint to talk real leadership—the kind that lasts. A former pharmaceutical sales rep who rose to VP, Darrin shares how he kept learning when the curve flattened, why he went back for an MBA to learn the “language of business,” and how coaching exposed blind spots that made him better at leading people (not just numbers). Where to listen to the "I Dare You Podcast": https://www.youtube.com/@UCEBcnRsDvixvxPfamE9aeQA Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2Gi93m38FPMmDc8RMGvN7c?si=7830496d38bf4298Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/darrinjohnson1/ Now in Idaho Falls with Melaleuca, he breaks down building culture at scale: hire slow, set clear ground rules, and hold short weekly 1:1s that start with wins, tackle challenges, and end with action. We also dig into his long‑running show I Dare You (nearly 200 episodes): starting before you feel ready, staying consistent, and using mentors for accountability.

Today’s guest runs a content‑first agency that’s filmed across the U.S. (and beyond), built a 24‑person studio, and helped brands from Shark Tank startups to legacy manufacturers grow with strategic creative. We dig into how Porter Pro Media started (photography → broadcast club → film school → launching in 2016), why they hire for drive and teach the technicals, and the culture shifts required at 5, 10, and 20+ employees. You’ll hear how they choose clients, the difference between “any marketing” and effective marketing, and why authenticity beats ad‑speak—especially in a noisy, AI‑heavy feed. We cover persona‑driven strategy, rapid testing across platforms (social, streaming, search, and traditional), and the simple question that guides every campaign: who’s the audience and why should they care? If you’ve ever wondered how to turn content into customers without losing your brand’s soul, this conversation is a blueprint.Guest: Tyler Porter Founder and CEO of Porter Pro Media - https://www.porterpromedia.com/Hosts: Morgan Peterson & Jason GriderCTA: Want to live where the fun happens?

Real estate leader Kevin Kaufman joins The Success Blueprint to unpack almost two decades of hard‑won insight—from launching in the 2007 crash to scaling a 100+ agent roster, trimming back, and rebuilding with intention. Kevin shares why “grit is situational,” how he and partner Fred structured their partnership (including the phased split before going 50/50), the standards that drive production today (think simple daily connects), and why true leadership starts with self‑awareness and genuine curiosity. We dig into hiring for desire, letting evidence (not potential) guide decisions, and creating high‑value rooms where peers connect and compound each other’s growth. Kevin also opens up about a formative personal win—losing ~200 lbs at 22—and how anchoring to past wins fuels today’s resilience. If you’re navigating a slower market, recruiting, or just resetting your standards, this one’s a masterclass in doing hard things… together.Guest: Kevin Kaufman (Next Level Agents, eXp Realty)Hosts: Morgan Peterson & Jason GriderCall to Action: Want to build your life in Eastern Idaho?
