Beyond Business: Building Relationships and Growing in the Community
This House Show with Alison Stine and Travis Meyers went beyond the conversation of their job titles and the work they do in business. The common threads that continued to appear between them both in the conversation was community involvement, growing real relationships, and having deeper connections that help support the growth of business.
We are a studio that focuses on building relationships through real connection and this show was a beautiful example of that. Yes, we had the opportunity to learn about what Alison and Travis do for business and the importance of having a financial advisor and an estate planning attorney. We also had the chance to learn about them as people growing real relationships, getting involved in the community, and building partnerships together.
This is a great episode to listen in on if you are wanting to go beyond transactional business. If you are wanting to hear about the importance of growing in the community and building real relationships- then this episode is for you. If you would benefit from hearing other leaders in the community discuss the importance of focusing on yourself and not just adding clients to your business- then this is the podcast for you.

Kindra Maples is spartan racer, past animal trainer, previous magician’s assistant, and has a weakness for Oreo cookie shakes. Her journey working with people actually started working with animals as a teenager (don’t worry we won’t go that far back for her bio).
She worked for over 15 years in the zoo industry working with animals and the public. Her passion of working with animals shifted into working with people in education, operations and leadership roles. From there her passion of leadership and helping people develop has continued to grow.
Then came the opportunity for leading the Culture Crush Business Podcast and she jumped on it. Leadership, growth, and strong company cultures are all areas that Kindra is interested in diving into further.
