Join Steve for the last episode of ReEnergize! We are so grateful for the support you have given and opportunities this podcast has provided. As we begin our transition to something new, Steve explains the good that can come from change. While change can be uncomfortable, it is constant; however, progress is not constant. This requires both businesses and people to revisit their strategies and make sure their actions align with their goals. With that said, we are excited to announce two new Coltivar podcasts coming your way. One will focus on transformation within the construction industry, while the other will be a tool to boost financial literacy among business leaders. To learn more about what is new with Coltivar, visit coltivar.com. We are so excited to share these new resources with you!

Have you ever been completely caught off-guard or hurt by somebody's words? In this episode of ReEnergize, Steve shares the story of a time when he received a metaphorical punch to the gut that changed his life. At first, Steve felt cut to the very center with shock and fear that had him questioning his business and decisions. However, while the comment was completely unexpected and hurtful, it forced him to rethink and make changes to his business that ultimately changed his life for the better. Rather than letting situations like this destroy us, Steve encourages you to pivot and grow from criticism and punches to the gut. To do this, Steve shares three takeaways he learned: Put your best work forward, use your pain as leverage to drive transformation, and do not fear rejection or critical feedback. 

While the COVID-19 pandemic has made this year especially difficult, it is not the only time of uncertainty--the future is always unknown. In this episode of ReEnergize, Steve shares three key areas of focus to help your business thrive despite the uncertainty of the future: cash, throughput, and people. Steve explains what it means to have 90 days of cash, why it is crucial for success both in your business and personal finance, and how to obtain this cash. Despite gaining profit from projects, the time it takes to complete these projects has a huge impact on your organization's overall revenue. Investing in human capital can be difficult or even unappealing. However, Steve explains why the importance of training employees and creating a productive team, as well as how we can do that despite the current circumstances. By focusing on these three areas, your business can prosper both now and in the ever-uncertain future.
