She started experiencing challenges keeping up with her health due to the demands of the job which lead to her finding and starting to experiment with Pilates. Her interest grew and she started teaching pilates in person before realizing that online pilates instruction was scalable. This was 15 years ago and very much the beginning of Lindywell and she calls herself an “accidental entrepreneur.” Robin’s story isn’t without its challenges. She had 4 kids that were 5 and under and often felt like she wasn’t fully in either world; as a mother and as an entrepreneur. She opens up about her challenges with being a CEO, the face of the brand, and a content creator.

We had the unique opportunity of speaking with one of Patagonia's District Managers Christa Nenaber. Christa has worked at Patagonia for almost 12 years and has had a myriad of leadership positions during that time. She currently oversees the Central Region which includes 9 stores throughout Colorado and surrounding states. Her connection with people and leaning into vulnerability is what drives her leadership style. Christa also opens up about making the brave (and arduous) decision to proactively get ahead of a potential major health issue, and how that decision has informed her life, leadership, and overall outlook. It's people like her opening up about the trials and tribulations of life that make doing the Better Faster Further podcast so special and rewarding. Her story is very inspiring, but also very accessible. Christa and her husband live in Salida, Colorado and embrace getting outdoors as much as possible. She loves rafting, biking, camping and skiing.…

I (Adam) met Jeff for the first time during the Moab 240 Endurance Event in October of 2022. Jeff led myself and the athlete and friend he was there to pace, Aaron Prevo, on an 80 mile journey up and over the La Sal Mountains. As one can imagine, we got to know each other really well over the couple days we spent together. Since that event in October, Jeff has transitioned from VP Strategic Sales at DXC Technologies to VP Sales - Americas at Orange. It was an honor to introduce Jeff to Regan Bach and Louis Selincourt, Managing Partners of Better Faster Further, so that the four of us could talk through the transition and ensure Jeff had an objective space to work and work out his plans. This is a fascinating conversation that follows the arc of Jeff's career and the importance of planning to achieve big things in life and business. During the conversation, Jeff talks about the important role his father, Bud Jones, has played in his life. His father is a retired Marine Helicopter Pilot, even wrote a historical novel, Snake Rolling in Hot , about Marine pilots, their crews, and fighting in Vietnam. To reach Jeff directly, you can find him on LinkedIn. Thanks as always for listening to the conversation. Please like, subscribe, rate and review the podcast.
