What do you do to get under the layer to really get down to those lower levels? Is it just follow-up questions, mindset, worldview, and how that works for you? How'd you get this job anyway? What are things like around here? What did your boss do before they were your boss? Wow did you end up with this job? Why are questions such a big part of This is Strategy? If you had to charge ten times as much as you charge now, what would you do differently? If it had to be free, what would you do differently? Who's it for, and what's it for? What is the change we seek to make? How did you choose the questions for The Strategy Deck? How big is our circle of us? How many people do I care about? Is the change we're making contagious? Are there other ways to gamify the use of questions? Any other thoughts on how questions might be gamified? How do we play games with other people where we're aware of what it would be for them to win and for us to win? What is it that you're challenged by? What is it that you want to share? What is it that you're afraid of? If there isn't a change, then why are we wasting our time? Can you define tension? What kind of haircut do you want? How long has it been since your last haircut? How might one think about intentionally creating that question? What factors should someone think about as they use questions to create tension? How was school today? What is the kind of interaction I'm hoping for over time? How do I ask a different sort of question that over time will be answered with how was school today? Were there any easy questions on your math homework? Did anything good happen at school today? What tension am I here to create? What wrong questions continue to be asked? What temperature is it outside? When the person you could have been meets the person you are becoming, is it going to be a cause for celebration or heartbreak? What are the questions we're going to ask each other? What was life like at the dinner table when you were growing up? What are we really trying to accomplish? How do you have this cogent two sentence explanation of what you do? How many clicks can we get per visit? What would happen if there was a webpage that was designed to get you to leave? What were the questions that were being asked by people in authority at Yahoo in 1999? How did the stock do today? Is anything broken? What can you do today that will make the stock go up tomorrow? What are risks worth taking? What are we doing that might not work but that supports our mission? What was the last thing you did that didn't work, and what did we learn from it? What have we done to so delight our core customers that they're telling other people? How has your international circle informed your life of questions? What do I believe that other people don't believe? What do I see that other people don't see? What do I take for granted that other people don't take for granted? What would blank do? What would Bob do? What would Jill do? What would Susan do? What happened to them? What system are they in that made them decide that that was the right thing to do? And then how do we change the system? How given the state of the world, do you manage to continue to care as much as you do? Do you walk to school or take your lunch? If you all can only care if things are going well, then what does that mean about caring? Should I have spent the last 50 years curled up in a ball? How do we go to the foundation and create community action?…

On this episode of the Horse Connection, Clay McCullar and Travis Hawkins interviewed Dustin Johnson of Cedar Ridge Aviation in Knox City TX. Dustin Johnson and his Business partner Garrett Durrett offer predator control, hog hunts and chemical application for pastures and row crops, but this week (March 18th-21st) received a call from several of their clients and friends that live along the border of Iowa & Nebraska. Flood waters from rains and broken Levees poured into the valleys where many of these farmers and families live and work. The water from failed levees had flooded out multiple homes, business and towns, that left people scrambling to gather their belongings and families to seek higher ground from the impending flood waters. While Dustin and Garrett were in Iowa and Nebraska they said that several individual farmers had lost over $750,000 worth of corn and beans that were stored in their grain bins. These grains have no insurance and no was to recover that loss.. Some lost everything and some lost two years worth of harvests and income in less than 72hrs not sure if they would be able to plant a crop this year. The flood waters impacted so many farmers in that area in some places reaching as much as 15ft deep and others a few feet deep. While the news was busy worrying about celebrities paying off or bribing colleges to get their children into a school, no major news outlets had even bothered to cover the floods in these rural areas that feed our country. People we need to pray for these Farmers and communities that lost their homes and businesses.…
On this Episode of the Horse Connection Clay McCullar and Travis Hawkins interviewed Miss Dericka Vaughn about her success during this years Stock show Season. Dericka Vaughn is the third generation from her family to show Lambs at the major stock shows in Fort Worth, San Angelo, San Antonio, Houston, and Austin. This year Dericka had over 15 show lambs that she worked with throughout the year to be able to have a top prospect for each show and judge at those competitions. Stock shows are very competitive and take a great deal of time and dedication to be able to compete against all the other participants and their animals. The reward is well worth the time and investment for those who are dedicated to working with their animals on their showmanship in and out of the ring. Texas Stock shows contribute big money towards students scholarships funds and are a big deal to be involved in if you live in Texas. Thank you to the Vaughn Family for coming on the show to visit with Clay and Travis about the struggles and success that you live for each and every year!…
