In early July of 2018, a much younger (but not as wise as he is currently) Matt Hudson calls my phone as I vacation with my two girls. I had just resigned from one of the largest preventative maintenance companies after 17 years. As I watch my kids tumble down a waterslide, Matt asks me if I would share my experiences with the rest of the industry by being a monthly contributor to NOLN. They say that journaling is good for you; it helps you vent and figure things out.

"Life is like a hurricane, here in Duckburg.” “Racecars, lasers, airplanes, it’s a duck blur!” Please tell me you know what I am talking about! Fun fact, if you set your oil pumps to 80 psi and let that oil gun go wide open, it’s about the same tempo and sound as the intro to that song. I loved DuckTales when I was a kid. For all you youth, Google it. Maybe there are some Tik Tok videos on it. For all you old timers, ask your now greying kids.

Recently, I had the honor to work with some great leaders in Dallas, Texas. Experience in the automotive field varied but everyone had experience in operations supervision. All but one was pretty fresh in their roles at the company. During our initial introduction, we played the game of interview and introduction. This is where you interview a person with the sole purpose of introducing them to the room.
