009: Flexibilty – Catholic Education Arizona and Fasturtle

Culture Crush Business Podcast

This was a very special episode for our Culture Crush Podcast team. Our sponsor, Catholic Education Arizona, was on the show! Not only is Catholic Education Arizona a great sponsor, but they are also a company building a great company culture.

Nancy Padberg has been an amazing leader and advocate for building a great company culture. Nancy had the opportunity to invite a guest on the show with her that is leading a company with a great company culture, and Eric Olsen with Fasturtle Digital Marketing was her choice. What a great choice it was too!

The energy with Nancy, Eric, and the Culture Crush host, Kindra Maples, was so dynamic and fluid that the hour flew by. This conversation dove into a variety of different angles of company culture including what culture is and what it is not. The trio discusses the need to grow positive company culture in all teams, the importance of values that align the team, and remembering that company culture not just having a foosball table in the office.

This episode is a great one to listen to if you are a company leader that thinks you have a great company culture. This episode will help you double check the culture that you are growing and help you ask yourself if your employees think you have a good culture or if you are just handing out free snacks and have fun games in the office for the team. If you are not the company leader, this is a great podcast to listen to in order to help understand what good company culture really is and if you have it with the company that you are currently working.

Thank you again to our sponsor Catholic Education Arizona, for being a great sponsor, as well as a company with a great company culture!
