Take Care of Your People - A. Overholt

[@mmwosu]

This one really resonated with me Daniel. A couple of years ago a dear friend of ours passed away very suddenly. She had cultivated a local business that had become more of a family over the course of almost 40 years, and it meant a lot to a lot of people. Rather than watch it disappear, my wife and I recognized that we had the means, ability and opportunity to save it, and so we did. We dove in, without much thought and without knowing absolutely everything, but knowing absolutely that sitting on the sidelines wasn’t an option. It’s makes a little profit, but what it does beyond that is fill the lives of about 150 kids and counting with a very specific joy. The idea of “there’s never enough money” is very real, but those smiles are worth every headache and every penny. Keep up the good work ❤

Glad to see the new direction by Overholt.

The other half of that is don’t put up with bosses that don’t care about you. My first job out of college was a meat grinder for engineers. People got hired, worked long hours for low pay with no advancement or opportunity for growth, then got burned out and quit after two years. There was always the promise that things would get better, but they never did. Stupidly I stayed there for 6 years. Those of us that stuck around got rewarded by training a remote team in India that “weren’t replacements.” You can guess what happened next. Fast forward through a job search and I found a small company within 4 miles of my house that offered great benefits. 6% 401k match, 30% boost in pay from the previous company, and unlimited sick time. These companies are out there if we don’t put up with shitty ones. Take care of yourselves, you magnificent bastards!

This is not just the best whiskey channel, but one of the best channels on KZbin 🥇 I've learned so much! 🎓🥃

[@WoRLDs_CoLLiDiNG]

After nearly 20 years of military service, being a program and project manager, and working as a business operations/organizational culture consultant, I can say you hit the nail on the head about an organization’s duty to its people. So many corporations want to (and, indeed, need) to turn a profit to stay viable and in operation, but SO many lose sight of the fact that the PEOPLE are what add value. The PEOPLE are what generate profit. The PEOPLE are what drive innovation and allow orgs to pivot. I’ve consulted with organizational leadership in the past who’ve bent over backwards to find ways NOT to fire employees when business takes a downturn. Now, when I see so many companies who do things like mandate a RTO…even though they operated just fine with everyone working from home, it makes me wonder what values changed in senior leadership or shareholders to force such things. BL: Take care of your people and they’ll take care of your mission.

[@IndianaSmoke]

I personally love these videos. As far as this one… i completely agree.

[@shanegrosskreutz5446]

Excellent video! especially when starting a new venture/business. Love listening to your videos.

[@joem8498]

Damn, Daniel speaking to the hearts of the working man!

[@tysongilmore659]

Fantastic explanation! Take care of your people!!

[@bradkirbey1560]

Always amazed at how many large corporations have not figured this out. Employees are the key to any success. You can have the best product or service in the world, but without motivated and happy workers it's never going to be what it could be. Great video.

[@timfair9427]

So true! Often times companies and managers forget that some of their most important assets are the people. Although people aren't perfect, they often will surprise you when you choose them over other investments of a business.

[@franciscoramos8872]

Excellent points. One of the most worthwhile videos I've seen in awhile anywhere. Thanks Daniel for saying it

[@Fatties09]

Excellent message guys. Good job

[@stevenferron1229]

“Random people on the internet making demands of multi-million dollar production facilities” I’m not sure it’s so unreasonable for you. You are the Whiskey Som after all

[@jeffbayer569]

Oh my goodness you are so right. I am that underappreciated employee (after 21 years employed). But that rings so true for me. Especially after having aspirations of doing a business of my own. Definitely very important. Thank you for another great conversation 🥃

[@vandensoforth]

Great advice and interesting video as always. Cheers!

[@texas66]

A few weeks ago Daniel was saying 'I don't know what this video will be....' Well, I think he's found it!!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@damayor62]

Outstanding beyond words Daniel! As as someone who works for one of the top 3 consulting firms in the world I thank my lucky stars my firm embraces the culture you talk about. The near sighted employee churn you speak of is deadly to businesses. Co-workers to teammates is such an under estimated power. It is one of my top priorities every year to get all who report to me promoted. Thank you and keep up the outstanding work sir. Cheers...

[@davidkloeckener7446]

I wonder how A.Overholt would taste at a little higher proof. Love this episode. Gotta love taking care of people who are definitely contributing time and energy

[@robviousobviously5757]

GOOD MORNING YOU MB'S... 🥃

[@forlornHope]

Cheers 🥃

It was interesting hearing the origin of the chapel. Last year, my wife and I did our 25th wedding anniversary vow renewals at Chapel Dulcinea on the Wizard Academy campus. It was a magnificent experience and we would definitely recommend it. The views from the chapel, the landscaping and other points of interest on the campus made for great photos. Also recommend paying to have the gaslamps lit and the commemorative brick to be added to the path.

[@gjpokey]

Amen brother.

[@austinpeterjohn569]

The 10 year cask strength Overholt rocks

[@WhiskeyAndReading]

It's such a good pour.

[@-RONNIE]

I appreciate the video thanks 🥃

[@Scotchnow]

The Williams sound like blessings to this Earth. Much respect 🙌 How did they mess up so much with Rex? 😉

[@WhiskeyDearg-MichaelS]

Retention is huuuge, especially in government first responders (from which I just retired). In the last five years, I’ve seen great strides in programs to foster mental and physical wellness. Teaching meditation, lifetime fitness, and work/life balance. I think employers will find promoting those programs will not only help with retention, but also medical costs and early/medical retirement costs. It also nice to see the Big Brands moving in the right direction to give us some adventures in sipping. We whiskey nerds need to encourage them to do more. But we all know their money makers are middling budget friendly pours, which is fine, we just need to show the love when they blow us a kiss occasionally. 😁

[@swamptyger]

You might want to try a little J T Melecks whiskey if you can get your hands on some. Surprisingly good....

[@plethoraofattitude]

It's fine, it's fine...

[@KarltheKrazyone]

I burned out at a lot of non-profits. I wish that those leaders understood what you know.

[@Erik_T_Thompson]

What is a good representation of Monongahela Rye?

[@WeeStrom]

Tempted to send this to my bosses. Got an edit without the tasting? 😅

[@joshuasasmor6565]

You said this wasn’t the best example of a Monongahela rye; what would you say are the classical examples? I did just buy a bottle of Liberty Pole rye (I’m in Pittsburgh, they’re close).

[@WhiskeyVault]

Definitely them. Also wiggle, dad's hat, etc..

[@BiffStrongo]

I gotta get off this wheel.

[@YoJimBo851610]

Teb bucks too

[@Notclyde4479]

I work for a trailer manufacture company and we are not small but we aren’t a corp. the owner knows everyone… but they don’t give two half’s of a shit about us or our mental health and our turnover rate is unheard of and I wish they could just listen to some Daniel advice like this because I’m sick of seeing great people come and leave as fast as they came

[@YoJimBo851610]

1st

[@johnsmartin1473]

substitute "passionate" for "unreasonable" and I'm you're Captin and 1st mate. Unreasonable sacrifices common sense, I'm to old to try make rocks float, that makes her a witch. duhh
