Connect with Gen Z: Teach Real-World Skills Authentically and Passionately with Benjamin Williams
In the Club by Club Colors
03/02/23 • 59 min
On this episode of the In the Club Podcast by Club Colors, we feature Benjamin Williams, the Assistant Dean of Students at Miami University, as well as Chris Jaeger, the Strategic Development Manager of Club Colors. Benjamin gives his insights on what it means to be an educator these days and what he sees as the strengths and weaknesses of Gen Z.
Benjamin shares the challenges of messaging students as this group of people changes every 4 years. However, despite that, the basics of building up younger people remain the same: show authenticity to get authenticity, relationships remain the most important thing, and growth happens after failure—so don't be afraid to take risks!
HIGHLIGHT QUOTES
Fear of failure disregards the fact that you CAN succeed - Benjamin: "I wouldn't be where I am today in my career if I hadn't been willing to fail. Taking risks and innovating means you're going to try something and it might not work. And if you're so afraid of what might not work, then you're going to be stuck in a job you don't like, in a place you don't like, doing things you don't like because you're afraid of what happens if you fail. But what if you succeed?"
The number 1 skill to learn is relationship-building - Benjamin: "Put me in a room with strangers, I'm here for it. You don't have to be that, but you can for yourself as an individual figure out, well, how am I going to approach this person? What is my default elevator pitch? How do I want to start that conversation? And you build that skill, you practice it with people in your friend group and others. You just find it because you can go so much farther with relationships than anything else."

Purpose Over Product: Connection Is What's Missing Today with Chip Danby and Cassie Green
In the Club by Club Colors
05/18/23 • 66 min
On this episode of the In the Club Podcast by Club Colors, we speak with Chip Danby and Cassie Green, the Executive Vice President of NAPCO Media and Content Director of the Apparelist respectively. They are both content-creating machines and Chip starts off by sharing his journey in building communities and bringing people together in media.
Cassie talks about her passion for writing and how she was led into the business side of the apparel industry. For her, it is not a race to the bottom in price but a challenge to provide the best customer service possible. Chip sums it up by saying the order takers are falling out of the business while the order makers, the people who put purpose over product, come out on top.
Tune into this episode’s Hot Iron with JMo where our guests answer their pillars in business, stewarding culture, writing in your own voice, and the secret history of human beings that is being kept from us.
HIGHLIGHT QUOTES
Create a connection and purpose with your product - Chip: "Purpose over product. And I think that for years, and I think the pandemic, we saw a lot of shakeout with the people who it was all about product."
"Because if you didn't have that purpose connection and that understanding of marketing and strategic marketing to be able to help organizations grow and develop, you weren't going to be able to be successful."
"And the same was true on the decorator side. You needed to be able to create that purpose in the end user's mind to give you a chance over the six other decorators that they have a chance to work with."
Your passions connect you with other people - Cassie: "I think what a lot of people are missing is just a connection with people. So how are you connecting with something that they care about? Don't just churn out something you think is cool, just so you can put something out there. Put something out there you're passionate about."

2.0 Derby Special with EquinEdge CEO Scotty McKeever
In the Club by Club Colors
05/05/23 • 70 min
This episode of the In the Club Podcast by Club Colors is our 2.0 Derby Special show! We welcome back EquinEdge CEO Scotty McKeever, as well as Club Colors Co-CEO Cris Tase, as they talk about the revolutionizing power of EquinEdge in using machine learning and metrics to speed up the handicapping process.
Scotty shares their cutting-edge machine learning that grabs statistics and applies it to pace numbers. This feature is currently 72.5% accurate in predicting the top 1 and 2 places, including first-time starters!
He then discusses their Genetic Strength Ratings (GSRs) that provide users with a horse's 1 to 100 score that goes back 3 generations, all in a matter of seconds. Their patented ticket generator also allows users to choose a wager and budget to generate a ticket to play, as simple as that.
Scotty goes on the Hot Iron with JMo and he reveals the top 3 historical figures he'd sit with front row at the Derby and his top tips on reading horses (and jockeys!) better. Scotty also gives his fearless predictions on the Derby, so stick around!
HIGHLIGHT QUOTES
Using EquinEdge's handicaps for a better strategy - Cris: "Depending on how you handicap, you're getting all the tools involved in your strategy, but at least it gives you a more informed view of how you should think about the horses that will be involved in that strategy."
Scotty: "Well, a lot of top handicaps will tell you as well that that pace makes the race and then class, meaning that's our SoR, our strength of race. So those are two super important factors."
EquinEdge makes you WIN more - Scotty: "It's just so much more fun if you enjoy horse racing. It's just a blast. It's so much fun and it's so easy to use and the community's great and you get to know people and it's just fun around it when you're losing less and winning more, that just creates an energy that's really fun to be around."

Maintaining UNC Charlotte's Brand Identity with Rachel Skipworth and Katie Turner
In the Club by Club Colors
04/20/23 • 58 min
On this episode of the In the Club Podcast by Club Colors, we sit down with Rachel Skipworth and Katie Turner, the Program Manager for Bookstore and Licensing, and Marketing Director for Business Services respectively at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
Today, Rachel and Katie talk all about creating their school's brand in the university space. From adhering to brand guidelines to using social media, our guests pinpoint collaboration as the number 1 requirement for maintaining a brand's integrity. They talk about initiatives like "Dad Jokes with Doug" to introduce the new executive in a fun and engaging way.
They also share their student-driven mascot and how to create brand champions using digital punch cards that incentivize activities with branded kits. Stick around for this episode's Hot Iron with JMo where we learn what makes our guests unique and their brand-building tips for universities!
HIGHLIGHT QUOTES
Creating engagement with digital punchcards and branded kits - Katie: "We created this incentive structure where if the students participate in 6 activities a semester, they get a punch for each of their activities that they complete, and then at the end they get branded merchandise. We call it the Niner Care Package."
"It's an assortment of items that we ordered through Club Colors. They love them. We've had I think about 10 students out of the 70 get to their 6 punches this semester, and we've actually reduced the amount of product that we were giving away from previous semesters."
Collaborating to sell apparel in Charlotte Airport - Rachel: "Hopefully in the near future we'll be able to put product in the Charlotte Airport. But besides putting product in there, we'll be able to brand different locations in the airport and directed them to that specific location to actually shop. But this is going to be the first for us to ever be able to do anything like that."

Engage the 3 Types of Employees: Builders, Maintainers, and Departers with Chet Lovegren
In the Club by Club Colors
04/04/23 • 70 min
On this episode of the In the Club Podcast by Club Colors, we feature Chet Lovegren, the Founder of The Sales Doctor, Host of The Sales RX, and The Founder's Formula Podcasts. Today, Chet digs into how leadership styles fundamentally differ between Boomers, Gen X-ers, Millennials, and now Gen Z.
Chet describes the 3 types of employees: Builders, Maintainers, and Departers. Each type plays a role in the company, but the goal is to concentrate 80% on the top 20%, which comprises Builders and Maintainers. As for the Departers, Chet says to either move them up to become a Maintainer or move them out.
Leaders need to engage with each employee type differently. John shares his own Highlighter Method while Chet talks about the environments in which Builders and Maintainers excel. Chet also shares his 5-5-5 Rule that instills good leadership within a culture and gives his insights on better communication, building brand advocates, and helping SaaS companies grow their sales teams.
As always, stick around for the Hot Iron with JMo where we find out about Chet's dream to advertise at SaaStr and his thoughts on what the moon really is!
HIGHLIGHT QUOTES
Defining the Builder - Chet: "In any company, there are 3 types of employees. There's Builders, there's Maintainers, and Departers. Builders are your day ones, they're the people that are going to build with you, they're going show up early, they're going to put in the extra effort."
Do NOT punish Builders to deal with Departers - Chet: "Stop spending 80% of your time on the bottom 20% of people because what ends up happening, and I see this all the time is you turn into what's called a reactive leader where somebody at the bottom, it's one of your departers, does something that either ticks you off or hurts your number or gets your boss to talk down to you, or whatever that might be, and then you go implement this wild accountability rule that you're builders are like, dude, I'm doing my job."
Reps who don't perform well are a reflection of their leaders - Chet: "The sad truth is everything about your reps has to do with you as a leader. And so if you have people that are experiencing symptoms that are bringing them down, it's your inability to give them a clear-cut vision. I think leaders do such a bad job of tying things to personal goals. Even if I'm a Maintainer, I have a goal."

Treat Branding Like A Team Sport with Jim Dusbiber & Jared Buzan
In the Club by Club Colors
04/06/23 • 60 min
On this episode of the In the Club Podcast by Club Colors, we sit down with Jim Dusbiber and Jared Buzan, VP of Sales in Specialty Markets and Territory Sales Manager at CHAMPRO respectively. We talk about their styles of leadership and how their experience in different sports essentially impacted their growth in sales.
Jim and Jared share the innovations they're both excited about at CHAMPRO regardless of the sport and equipment being covered. They, however, encourage others to think of CHAMPRO beyond just being just an athletics brand. "Our team builds yours" has been a prime motivator and highlights the dynamic within the company and towards their clients.
Of course, best stick around for the Hot Iron with JMo where we touch on the keys to creating business-life harmony, their favorite rock band, and how they each define Bitcoin!
HIGHLIGHT QUOTES
What makes a company special and different is the people - Jim: "Understand that teams are just groups of people that are formed around a common bond, identity, and culture and this is just an expression of it. So whether it's a baseball team, church organization, or an event, it's all about building the brand and bringing people together."
Something to keep in mind before jumping in sales - Jared: "One of the biggest pieces of advice I'd give right off the bat is they have to value relationships. When I got into sales and took over the account list I took over, I knew nobody. I had no prior experience in the industry. I was kind of learning as I went but I had great management and huge mentorship."

Every product your brand puts out has to align with your branding - Joel: "Branding is the perception that you can create around the brand that you have, and that has to be cherished by any organization, whether it's a school, a business, and you can never waiver from whatever are your requirements of that brand."

Tune into this episode’s Hot Iron with JMo where our guests answer what they’re secretly great at, the best advice they’ve gotten and given, and their thoughts on going to Mars!
HIGHLIGHT QUOTES
Be brand advisors, not salespersons - Adam: "I've been saying if you see something, say something. It's looking after the brand, being an extension of the campus of their marketing department and their procurement department, making sure that we're doing all the things that they want us to be doing as far as policies, procedure; making sure the logos are correct."
Excellent service is the differentiator - Chris: "At the end of the day, we're in a service industry. If you take care of your clients, if you go above and beyond, and you do the right thing even when it hurts, it's one of those things that will always create the next opportunity for you. When you're in sales, if you can work your referral game, you take care of the people that take care of you, you'll be set."
