Business & NonProfit Success Through Storytelling @ Seal Media | Marketing Director | Content Strategist | Sales | Events | Collectibles
The power of great marketing 💪
My wife and I left home yesterday afternoon and began the long drive to Indiana to visit one of our daughters. I had made a hotel reservation at the half-way point, which happened to be Sevierville, TN. As we got closer to the exit for our hotel, I saw numerous signs for a Buc-ee's, Ltd. that just so happened to be located off the same exit. I had never been to one before but I'd heard the stories, none of which was more compelling than my son describing the massive store in Texas he had stopped at with some college football buddies. Naturally I had to pull in, take the picture below, and gas up there! Little did I know that it is the World's Largest Buc-ee's in operation, and boasts these eye-popping stats: 1. 74,707 square feet 2. 120 gas pumps 3. 250-foot long car wash 4. 350 employees Why did I choose to write about visiting a Buc-ee's, Ltd. you might ask? It is an excellent example of the power that great marketing of a niche product can have. Almost as important, the product - both the outside and inside of the store - lived up to the hype! Market yourself & live up to your own hype.

What a simple and effective way to connect with a new team.
Winnipeg is a place where people are friendly, caring, and resilient. It’s a place where we rely on each other to get things done. As a lifelong Winnipegger and advocate, I couldn't be more excited to share that I have joined Economic Development Winnipeg (EDW) as their new Vice President of Marketing, Communications, and Corporate Partnerships. In less than a week, I have been overwhelmed by the warmth and kindness of the incredible team at EDW. Thank you to all the friendly Winnipeggers at EDW who made me feel so welcome, especially Ryan Kuffner and Anna Nykoluk. To my former teams and colleagues, thank you for all your support. I learned so much from each of you and wish you growth, happiness, and success in your careers. To my new team at EDW, I couldn't be more excited to get to know and support each of you in this next chapter of our city's journey. It's an honour to be joining a team of people who will be at the forefront of continuing to bring our city's potential to life. This is an exciting time for Winnipeg, and I'm thrilled to be a part of it.

Did you happen to catch Shawn Gorman '84 on the Today Show recently? Read more about Shawn's time speaking with Al Roker, and watch the interview, in Shawn's post below!
I had the honor of spending an afternoon on the woodsy trails of NYC’s Central Park with Al Roker from the TODAY Show. I always get energy from talking about L.L.Bean’s history, values and Purpose – but there was something extra special about having this conversation while enjoying the restorative power of being outside in one of the world’s largest cities. Many thanks to Al and the TODAY Show team for helping us share the story of L.L.Bean’s outdoors heritage, commitment to high quality products and world-class service. My great-grandfather L.L. would be proud. https://lnkd.in/gg_HbUe5

Have you ever encountered a Red Door? Last weekend I visited Savannah, GA and what a cool city it is. It was an Oktoberfest weekend, and I had a great time, while sporting my Alabama T-shirt in South Georgia. I had fun sitting with a bunch of Georgia fans at one of the local sports bars, while watching college football, and discussing life. While strolling around in one those beautiful neighborhoods seeing how “the rich people live”, I came across this red door and it caught my attention. This well-kept red door, on this older building with the numbers 340 on it, stood out among all of those fancy homes, where the rich people live. They live well. While driving home, I begin to think about the significance of the “red door” and why it caught my attention. See, red doors can represent a lot of things and have throughout history, like “opportunity”, and the list goes on and on. You can Google that one. Have you ever walked down a long hallway and all of the doors are closed? Not one of those “doors” were open. Have you ever walked down a hallway that had all one colored doors except for one “Red Door”? Which door did you notice? Life is a lot like a hallway, with a series of doors. We walk down it, knock on some, some open and some don’t. We walk through some and pass on others. Some are locked, some are not. But then, there are the “Red Doors”, those special doors that opened that one opportunity that changed your career or life, and it was opened for you, by someone else. Leadership can be like a doorway! All of us in leadership can have the ability to be someone’s “Red Door” at different points in our career and life. You never know when you might be that one opportunity that colleague, direct report, new hire, or young person just starting out in life, just might need at that moment, in their life. Could you be someone's Red Door? Yes, that’s deep and we could camp out here for a minute, but we’ll leave that for another time. So, remember, motivate someone in a positive way today, knock on doors, be that “Red Door”, paint it, if you have to, and watch out for dragons. #bestlife50

“We don’t hire people to bake brownies, we bake brownies to hire people.” I've posted about Greyston Bakery before, having met CEO Joseph Kenner at an event in Rome, but their "Open Hiring" approach is so novel that it came back into view again this year and is worth sharing. At Greyston, job seekers put their name on a list and when the next opening comes up, they get the job, no questions asked, no background checks or anything. What they are doing is unlocking human potential through inclusive employment. The magic question: how does a 40 year old company that bakes brownies for Unilever, Ben & Jerry's’s and Whole Foods Market keep their standards high enough to meet stringent customer requirements with this kind of hiring policy? A lot of it has to do with gratitude and loyalty. Greyston employees in many instances have been given a second chance at life, and they deliver because they're proud to have an opportunity that no one else was prepared to give them. This comes together in a magical way: employee engagement, profitability and social responsibility working hand in hand. It’s very courageous and bold, it's also very impactful. And who doesn't like brownies? Applying our minds, what other industries could this work in?
