Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2454542/fan_mail/new] What do a cruise, a rodeo cowboy, and a monkey have in common?  More than you’d think. In this episode, Cory and Camille of True Grit Edge share one of the most unforgettable moments from their trip—yes, it involves a monkey—and how it perfectly illustrates a principle that can change the way you handle everything in life: E + R = O (Event + Response = Outcome).

Through humor, real-life stories, and honest conversation, Cory and Camille break down: *  Why your first reaction isn’t always your best one  *  How to pause and “run your R” instead of reacting  *  The importance of knowing your non-negotiables  *  Why being kind matters more than just being “nice”  *  How your response shapes not just outcomes—but who you become  At True Grit Edge, this concept is at the core of how you lead, live, and show up under pressure. Because whether it’s a tough conversation, a stressful moment, or something completely unexpected…  the outcome is still yours to influence. 🎧 Real, relatable, and packed with perspective you can use immediately—this is one you won’t forget.

S2 Episode 3:The Standard Is the Standard with Jade Vecchio

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2454542/fan_mail/new] Everyone assumes Camille is the tightly wound planner who needs the full game plan… and that Cory just shows up for the party. They’d be wrong. In this episode of Barn to Boardroom, the roles get flipped. Cory owns being the structured, standards-driven planner, while Camille surprises everyone with her more laid-back, let-it-unfold approach. Then Jade Vecchio joins the conversation — and brings clarity. We dive into: * Why standards are the true separator in today’s business world * The pillars he built his company on * Why lowering the bar is never the move * The influence of discipline, grit, and a little Tiger Style mentality Jade also answers a powerful question:  What’s the most important thing people should know about you? His answer might surprise you — and it says everything about how he leads and lives. And because this is Barn to Boardroom… we even get into Jade’s musician background and the fact that he can play “Big Iron” by Marty Robbins on the fly — which feels especially fitting here at Big Iron Ranch. From “chores got done” to building something that lasts, this episode is about identity, discipline, and refusing to lower your standards — even when the world does. Because when the bar drops… the ones who refuse to drop theirs stand out.
