Being a Virtuous Leader

Aaron: Pete, we appreciate your help getting a new segment in place here on the 2 Regular Guys for all the Regulators, Dad Jokes! So we have to ask do you have another one for us?

Aaron: Let’s start off with a quick check-in with you as we all deal with the pandemic. What changes have you had to make to your business so far and do you have any suggestions for others on how to weather this storm?

Terry: Today our goal is to continue your presentation from ThreadX and our brief chat after your presentation. We have had some time to digest everything. What was your biggest takeaway or nugget from ThreadX that you went to work on as soon as you got back?

Aaron: We have heard nothing but wonderful reviews of your presentation and feel the same way. Since ThreadX have you had conversations with anyone who has made changes to their culture. If so what resonated with them?

Terry: Aaron works with a larger wholesale sublimator as a consultant and we have had many conversations about culture based on that work. For companies struggling with implementing a culture they want, do you have any advice?

Terry: We titled this show based on your ThreadX presentation “A Virtuous Culture” and are just really impressed by your leadership. How do you become a virtuous leader? What does a day in the life of Pete Lovelace look like?

Aaron: How many confetti cannon do you go through a year at Booster? But in all seriousness, the celebration piece seemed to be core to your company, what does that do for your team?

Aaron: At ThreadX one of the slides was a screen capture of an Asana Project. I just started using that tool, How much do you love it, what are people missing out on that are not using it.

Terry: How can people find you or Booster Spiritwear to connect?
