Have you ever sat down with a seasoned expert and found yourself completely engrossed in their stories and insights? Imagine doing just that with our guest, Paul Fuller, Chief Revenue Officer at Membrain.com and host of The Art and Science of Complex Sales Podcast. Paul candidly shares his journey from being a Red Hawk to a Wildcat and his love for the University of Arizona. You will hear Paul share the love and gratitude he has for his wonderful wife and amazing children.
We learn how Paul's love of coaching experiences has taught him the art of positivity and personal growth. We take a sentimental journey down memory lane, examining our parents' profound impact on shaping us. Paul reflected on the lessons he inherited from his father's business ethos and struggled with depression and the grace his mother exuded that helped him better understand emotions.
Lastly, depression will impact many of us throughout our lives. I was grateful for Paul's vulnerability to share about his depression, forgiveness, and the essence of being present in relationships. Paul offers a brave and honest account of his battle and how he has learned to manage it. Paul shares a powerful story from one of his friends regarding how powerful the light of a small candle can be in your mindset.
Lastly, we explore how certain words can create anxiety and stress and the necessity of finding balance. We learned together about the power of forgiveness, reconciliation, and the impact of being genuine and present. I hope you take time to learn more about Paul and also share this episode with a dad who could benefit from listening.

Thanks to my friends at The TechServe Alliance, I met our next guest at their annual executive conference.
Navigating the field of fatherhood can feel like quarterbacking without a playbook, but Jeb Corley, an Air Force veteran and Vice President at Medix, joins us to share the playbook he’s writing every day as a dad. With season five's kickoff, we traverse the landscape of parenting, from the precious moments with young ones to the hard-earned lessons of personal growth. Jeb's stories of gratitude and the challenges he faces as a father resonate with the familiar warmth and complexity of a game well-played, where every down is a chance for triumph or learning. Through laughter and earnest discourse, Jeb and I peel back the layers of what it means to be a dad, a husband, and an individual in a world that's constantly rewriting the rules.
Jeb's story is one of resilience, as he vulnerably shares his story of his mom's battle with cancer as a young child, where she would later pass away. Not only was the portion of his life challenging, but he and his siblings would later be adopted by a foster family. As I listened to Jeb, I was increasingly impressed by the mindset he now shares with his kids.
Wrapping up, we lean into the wisdom of curiosity and the art of forgiveness as essential tools in the parental toolbox. Through stories of reconnection and the pursuit of understanding, we underscore the profound influence these qualities have on our relationships and the lessons we pass down to our children. Jeb's journey and our candid conversations carve out strategies for resilience, presence, and empathy, aiming to equip any dad with the inspiration and insight for crafting their own legacy.

Our next guest is Ian Pryor (no relation to Richard Pryor.....kidding!) who is one of the most caring, open, and authentic people I've met. He is a very talented relationship-based sales professional serving the dental industry, but that is not why we are going to have him on our show. Today, we get to meet Ian the dad and learn how he has embraced a different culture through his wife's family, and how he is teaching his kid's multi-cultural experiences. We will also explore race, raising kids in a mixed-race household, and understand the challenges that he has seen his wife and kids have to endure.
