  • 159. James Williams' Near Death Experience - Brady Williams
    May 8 2024

    We spend a lot of time on this show on systems, best practices, and tactics.

    But Today’s conversation is a human one.

    Our very own BTA Member, Brady Williams of Ox Glass, went through one of the most terrifying and harrowing experiences you will ever hear about.

    On June 8th, 2023, while Brady was at a business retreat thousands of miles away, his son James (back home in Utah) fell backward off a third-story balcony straight onto his head.

    Shattering his skull, puncturing his lung, and damaging a number of other vital organs.

    He was given minimal chances of survival. Even if that did happen, James's normal life was completely off the table.

    If you want systems or tactics, come back next week.

    Today’s conversation is about James' miraculous battle for survival, Brady’s experience as a father, and how the OX Glass Team rallied around to support a family in their time of need.

    Do you ever feel misunderstood by employees, partners, vendors, and stakeholders when discussing the future—the vision, the strategy?

    That “mental image,” to you at least, feels unbelievably clear, precise, detailed, and exciting.

    How could anyone NOT get this?

    How could you NOT be fired up about this?

    Cameron Herold is back on the show to lay out the solution to your visionary woes.

    His 2018 book, Vivid Vision, became an instant classic in the small business community because it completely transforms how you approach strategy and visioning in your business through the painted-picture exercise. And today, I get to pick his brain.

    Expect to learn:

    • What most of the traditional planning tools like mission statements and one-page plans get wrong
    • How to create a painted picture step by step - a super fun and rewarding exercise
    • How to roll out your painted picture with your team, turn it into your rallying cry, and reverse engineer the steps to execution.

    Cameron’s a great podcast guest; that’s why we had him back; you’re gonna love this one.

    The labor shortage is not improving anytime soon. This is why smart contractors invest in their employer brands.

    Many businesses competing over a small supply of talent drives up its price and gives your would-be employee a sea of options. Ensure your business is the best choice for them by building a world-class employer brand.

    How you package and communicate your place of work to potential employees matters more now than ever.

    Our guest on the show today is Andrew Hansen, founder and CEO of Site Partners, A specialized marketing agency that works exclusively with the industrial sector. Over the last 5 years, he’s shifted from helping businesses get customers to helping them find talent.
