Episode 244 - The Mikes

This was one for the ages as they say! The guys were joined this week by two heavyweights in the land survey world. Mike #1 is Mike Banta, PLS who has been surveying for nearly 40 years and is the Survey Manager at Rick Engineering Company. Mike #2 is Mike Fondren, PLS who has been surveying for over 25 years and is the Survey Manager at RLF Consulting, LLC. We had SO MUCH fun discussing the evolution of land surveying, the current state of the industry and where land surveying is headed with these two legends. You're not going to want to miss this one...be like The Mikes! Music by Three Dog Night!

Episode 243 - Brian Owens, Honor, Family, Music & Words

Oh my word...yet another value adding and life changing episode! The guys were joined in-studio this week by our good friend Brian Owens. We believe Brian to be the FIRST in the "5 Timer" club! By day, Brian is the Vice President of Safety & Team Development at Buesing Corp. By night, Brian is not only a very talented musician, songwriter and author, but also a passionate crusader of workplace safety. As a philosopher, he strives to provide perspective to help people remember that the reason we work in the first place is to provide a sustainable means for the people, freedoms, and activities we all hold dear. As a safety professional, he reminds those same people that if we aren't behaving safely, and if we aren't being aggressively proactive to ensure the sustainment of our chosen ideals, we are just allowing situational circumstances to dictate the direction, and the outcome. Remember, if it ever gets hopeless, you overlooked something...let all that sink in! Music by Lynyrd Skynyrd!!

Episode 242 - Mikel Bowman - Cultural Guru @ Bowman Legacies

PSA...we're experimenting with some things so please bare with us as we fine tune the show format for 2025. On to the show...this is ALWAYS one of the most downloaded episodes of the year. The guys (and Peta Cox!) were joined this week by the one and only Mikel Bowman! We freakin love every second we get to spend with this guy and honored to call him a friend. Mikel is President at Bowman Legacies as well as a best selling author, coach, keynote speaker, leadership development coach, business and personal development coach, and mentor! There is so much value adding content in this episode that you'd be a damn fool not to give it a listen! Music by Metallica!
