Day 6 of “Life Between Speaking Engagements” was our last day to enjoy the Colorado Rockies…this time. ❤️ It’s been awesome making memories with @Ria_Story! ✈️ Time to head home for a speaking engagement on Wednesday afternoon. Looking forward to speaking about cultural transformation with 65 plant managers in Atlanta, GA. #estespark #RMNP #rockymountainnationalpark #speakerlife #makingmemories

Day 5: @Ria_Story and I are privileged to see a lot of places while traveling to speak. Many who follow our leadership and personal growth content have told us, “You should share some pics of what y’all see when you’re traveling.” So, we listened. We call these behind the scenes videos “Life Between Speaking Engagements” and upload them to our Blue-Collar Leadership YouTube channel under a playlist by the same name. A HUGE mountain lion ran across the road in front of us in Arapaho National Forest at about 11,000’ just as we were starting to descend off the mountain top. Never thought we’d see one! No time to get a pic. #goldencolorado #idahosprings #colorado #ontheroadagain #speakerlife

Day 4: More of our “Life Between Speaking Engagements”… 🚙 @Ria_Story and I took a road trip north to Wyoming to see Cheyenne and Laramie. 👀 We saw a lot of antelope and even spotted a young bull moose just off the highway. It bedded down before we could record a video. Then, we drove back through some Colorado towns: Fort Collins, Loveland, and Longmont. Next…we’ll be returning to Golden, CO to stroll the historic part of town, check out the local coffee shops/restaurants, and walk along the path by the creek that flows through the town. #purposedriven #sightseeing #makingmemories #lifeontheroad #roadtrip

Day 3: @Ria_Story and I had a great day exploring Colorado! We were with a client the first 2 days. We’re continuing to celebrate our 25th anniversary for the next 4 days before heading home Tuesday to speak to 65 plant managers on Wednesday 11/11/2026 in Buckhead (Atlanta, GA). #rmnp #speakerlife #rockymountainnationalpark #rockymountains #LifeIsGood

🔥🔥Wow!! THIS is how high impact construction leaders recognize their key blue-collar team players who make it happen on the frontlines every day. It was a privilge for @Ria_Story and me to be in Spartanburg, SC on 10/30/26 to help the owner and leaders at Morgan Corporation (a large construction grading company in the southeast) recognize and express gratitude to their top blue-collar “Key Craft” team members from the field. They had a great luncheon and recognition event for them at the AC Spartanburg Marriott. Then, we joined them for an evening reception and dinner at the Milliken Club inside the Spartanburgers Baseball Stadium where they were served an awesome fillet mignon and crab cake meal with their spouses. If you’re in the Spartanburg, SC, Charlotte, NC, Savannah, GA, or Raleigh, NC area, be sure to check them out. These leaders are worth following. #keycraft #skilledtrades #construction #grading #civilconstruction

🔥🔥🔥She refused to play the victim card‼️ @Ria_Story is an inspiration for many. She shares her story to help others overcome their challenges. Learn more about her personal story at RiaStory.com/TEDx #overcomingobstacles #inspiredaily ##inspiration #overcomingtrauma

🔥🔥 The organizational culture is simply a reflection of the top leader’s character. Leaders with a high degree of character develop themselves and their teams, beyond what’s required to do the job. Leaders with a low degree of character seldom, if ever, develop themselves or their team members beyond what’s required. Do you want to unleash your team’s potential? We do!!

🔥🔥 Until the top leader starts developing the leaders and stops trying to engage the employees, the employees will remain disengaged. ‼️ The employees aren’t the problem. The leaders are the problem. This doesn’t mean the leaders are bad people. It does means they should be focused on becoming better leaders. 🇺🇸 We help blue-collar leaders build highly engaged blue-collar teams.
