17Twenty
What started as a crazy idea turned into an industry movement which afforded us the opportunity to sit down with and learn from some incredible people. Our guests were generous with their time and their stories, and those conversations forever shaped how we think about faith, family, work, and leadership more than we could have ever expected. Suffice it to say, 17Twenty meant a lot to us over the years.
However, as time went on, life filled up. Families got busier. Kids got older. Commitments multiplied. We started businesses, which has been challenging (and a lot of fun). As a result, schedules became harder to align and it became clear that we could not keep giving this wonderful little space we carved out on the internet the time and attention it deserved.
Thank you for listening, for sharing episodes, for encouraging us, and for being part of this along the way. We are grateful for this season of life and for everyone who was part of it. And to our faithful listeners ... keep moving mountains!

E051 || Will Pender || Success Is Enjoying What You Do
In this installment of the 17Twenty podcast, Will Pender joins the guys in the studio. Will is the new Gulf States President at Adolfson & Peterson Construction, a leading construction management and contracting firms in the U.S founded in 1946.
The guys talk about growing up between Florida and Indiana, his eventual move to Texas (as fast as he could), and his recent transition to Adolfson & Peterson. They talk about the extended interview process for the job, the roundtable Q&A sessions with each of the various offices, and how the interview process vets out the Adolfson & Peterson culture. As Will looks at the "first 100 days" we talk through some observations about the company, how conversations with employees are helping to form the future of Adolfson & Peterson, and the power of the "better if" statements. These "better if" statements help empower people so that they can be the best that they can be.
In discussing the rise to the Gulf States President at Adolfson & Peterson Construction, Will talks about the "we want Will" mindset he kept as he worked his way up. This is a great mindset to make sure you're on the forefront of the mind of your clients, whether internal or external to your organization.
As usual, there are great nuggets of wisdom all throughout this episode as you prepare yourself to win the week.
