Tom Parker- Senior Vice President of Yukon, inc Dec 07, 2020

Tom Parker is the Senior VP of Yukon inc. A Richmond, VA based company specializing in customized negotiations training. Tom has over 25 years of experience with Large Multi-National Corporations.

I attended one of Tom's workshops a few weeks ago and asked him if he would join the podcast to talk about what we learned. (thankfully he said yes!) What is it that we learned? Large corporations are WAY more prepared than you are to negotiate on their terms. In this episode, I wanted to shine a light on the skill of negotiating. We have a chef create the menu, a somm or a bar specialist create wine and cocktail lists, and we contract people to do most labor. We also have those same people negotiate most of our contracts. In this episode, you will learn some of the tactics used, and hopefully this will inspire you to want to learn more about how to properly negotiate. Enjoy!

Want to keep the conversation going, need help with a negotiation, email me at brandon@nashvillerestaurantradio.com and I would be happy to help. Also, join the conversation by joining our Facebook group "Nashville Restaurant Radio Insiders".

Raymond McAnally- Actor Nov 30, 2020

Raymond is a friend of mine since the fourth grade here in Nashville. Over the years he has gone on to big awesome things and now lives in LA, where is is an actor and professor. I follow him on the socials and he recently recovered from Covid-19. He was very honest about how he got it, when he knew he had it, what it was like losing the sense of taste and smell, and being quarantined in his house with his wife for 25 days.

Seeing as though we are all VERY TIRED of talking about, hearing about, or anything to do with covid. I thought it would be good to have a conversation with Raymond to hopefully see a different perspective. This is a marathon y'all, not a sprint, and whatever you may feel about this virus, the virus itself, does not care.

I hope you can take something out of this, and I hope you have an amazing week. Brandon

Carey Bringle- Owner- Peg Leg Porker-Explains why Nashville is Broke(en) Sep 28, 2020

Carey Bringle has been very outspoken when it comes to our local leadership, and how they have mis-managed our city, In this episode, I asked him to break it down for me. I asked for simple language, with details as to why our city is in the shape its in. He explains why we don't need a 34% tax increase. He also ponders why the Mayors office would release false numbers to the city's citizens.

This is not a debate. I did not ask him on the show to argue, or even call out any of his thoughts. I asked him to explain them in detail. Please take them for what they are. Please do your own research and come up with your own ideas and then DO SOMETHING. This city needs leaders and people who make things happen. I encourage everyone to VOTE, and know who you are voting for, and why.

His story is very interesting and the way he tells it is perfect.
