In this episode of Dadages, our host Chad Hagel returns after a week off to recover from a cold. Today’s episode will be personal and revealing, tying into the topics discussed with Josh Wilson last week. The host discusses the major problems that can arise from pursuing perfection, particularly in high-achieving families. The belief that perfection is the standard of achievement in these families can have negative consequences for children, leading to paralysis and an inability to make decisions. Failing to meet the impossible standard of perfection can greatly impact their self-esteem. Tune in for some fatherly wisdom and meaningful insights.

In this third of what is now a four part series on the Dadage, “responsibility is a luxury, accountability is the price you pay for it,” host Chad Hagle takes a look at two societal forces or events from recent years and the impact they have had on undermining the responsible accountable mindset.

Those two major challenges to accountability are the generational shift of Gen Z’s workplace perspectives, and the once in a generation worldwide pandemic that has had lasting effects on how we live and work together. 

While breaking down these two challenges, Chad discusses ghosting, cancel culture, distrust of institutions, the differing definitions of collaboration, and much more.

This week in Dadages, Chad Hagle hosts a new installment of the Entrepreneur’s Corner series, this time with guest Jonathan Orr, not only an entrepreneur but also an alum of Chad’s company, Aventine Development Corporation. The conversation begins with Jonathan sharing some of his background with the Dadages friends and family, including his time at Chapman University in California and what led to his involvement in real estate and his time with Aventine. 

Jonathan grew up in Southern California and played football in college. The fact that his father was a real estate developer inspired Jonathan to get into the business. He had experience working for Hilton Hotels and other real estate firms, which eventually led him to work at Aventine. Chad and Jonathan then discuss the time of Jonathan’s job interview and hiring, and Chad reveals what is important to him when hiring and selecting people to work with him or in his companies. Chad emphasizes the importance of getting past a “me first” attitude to succeed. 

Jonathan also shares some candid stories of his experience working for Chad Hagle, how he discovered a lot about himself during that time, everything he learned that he has applied in his professional life since (like working remotely before it was common), memories about business road trips, as well as some of the challenges that the industry was facing at the time and how they worked to overcome them, using a time of crisis as an opportunity. 

The conversation continues as Jonathan explains what he has been doing professionally since his time with Aventine. He’s built his business as a developer with a focus on flexibility and adaptation, which he believes are key elements in the current environment. He also discusses the importance of time and how to maximize it by surrounding himself with the right people and setting up clear expectations when it comes to time. In addition, Jonathan shares what it has meant to him to work with family members and what challenges and blessings that setting has brought to him and his business. Chad then gives Jonathan the opportunity to pitch his new venture, 356 Development Advisors, what it does in real estate, its unique business model, and its value proposition. 

As part of this series, the tables turn and the guest gets to ask the host questions pertinent to their business. Jonathan asks for Chad’s opinion on what to look for when interviewing and hiring third-party contractors and how to select the right people to work with. Chad also offers his advice on topics like team building, expansion and diversification to new markets in real estate, communicating and connecting with investors and property owners, and balancing and integrating work and family life. Finally, Jonathan shares a classic dad joke to end the interview!

Make sure you tune in to this episode of Entrepreneur's Corner to learn valuable insights about the real estate business from experienced professionals in the field. 

This week on Dadages, we continue our engagement with the Alcott family, as well as our celebration of disability awareness, by bringing you the second half of Chad’s Entrepreneur’s Corner sit down with father/son duo, Martin and Zack Alcott.

If you missed part one of the conversation, make sure to go back and check it out, as there you will learn all about Martin, Zack, and the entire Alcott family, as well as get an overview of their two companies, Get Skilled Access and The Field.

In this second half of the conversation, Martin and Zack get a chance to ask Chad some questions of their own pertaining to funding, the VC market in the US, how to go about launching their two companies in the US market, and much more.

The conversation concludes with a powerful story from Chad about a recent interaction he had that drove home the importance of everything related to disability awareness that these three have been discussing the past couple of episodes, so make sure you stick around until the end to hear that (yes, tears are shed). 

Today we celebrate the 33-year anniversary of the passing of the Americans with Disabilities Act by bringing you the latest edition of Entrepreneur’s Corner, where Chad welcomes to the virtual studio not one, but two amazing guests, father and son Martin and Zack Alcott.

Dadages Friends and Family may remember Martin Alcott from his recent appearance on Chadding with Dads, where he discussed his family’s experience with disability. Now, Martin returns, this time with (as Chad puts it) another member of the Alcott Braintrust, his son Zack, to discuss their two businesses: Get Skilled Access and The Field.

Get Skilled Access (GSA) is a consulting firm where expert consultants with real-life disability experience work collaboratively to give organizations the confidence to make better inclusive decisions. Ultimately, GSA wants to improve accessibility and inclusion for anyone and everyone.

GSA works with large and small organizations across all industries. They’re purposeful and focused on helping clients achieve their goals. With their holistic approach and professional and disability expertise, they’ll work within a client’s budget to improve accessibility and inclusion across an organization.

The Field is a marketplace platform job site that connects job seekers in the disabled community with organizations that are committed to inclusive hiring and building diverse teams. The Field welcomes job seekers with visible and non-visible disabilities, mental ill-health, neurodiversity, chronic illness, intellectual disability, or any workplace accessibility requirements.

During the conversation, Chad, Martin, and Zack discuss moving away from a medical model of disability and toward a social model, what working with major brands previously in their career taught them, lay out the value propositions of both companies, give insight into trust building within your customer base, and much more.

The conversation was so good that we had to break it up into two parts to fully digest all the value it had to offer. This episode is part one of the conversation and it will be followed by part two next week. Make sure to subscribe wherever you get your Dadages content so you don’t miss out!
