We’re just trying to be better tomorrow.” — Jeff Bonner “Championship teams are hard. You have to continuously improve to stay there.” — Trent Clark “If we can improve just 1% every day, we’ll be in a completely different place 365 days from now.” — Jeff Bonner About Jeff “Bones” Bonner Jeff “Bones” Bonner is a keynote speaker, former combat fighter pilot and squadron commander, current airline captain, and Harvard-trained performance strategist.

The episode also dives into Mickie’s personal journey from poet and creative writer to building a nationally recognized PR company serving thousands of businesses. In This Episode Why most press releases never get picked up The difference between syndication vs earned media How journalists actually choose stories Why storytelling matters more than company announcements How to use AI effectively for press releases The power of surveys and industry data in PR Why great quotes can make or break media coverage How small businesses can compete for national attention Mickie’s journey from poetry to entrepreneurship Key Takeaways Storytelling Wins The best PR campaigns focus on human stories, transformation, and emotion — not just product features. Earned Media Matters Real credibility comes from journalists writing about your business, not just publishing your release on random websites. AI Is a Tool — Not the Strategy AI can help structure and improve writing, but businesses still need strategic angles and compelling narratives. Industry Surveys Create Authority Creating and publishing original survey data is one of the fastest ways to become a thought leader in your industry. Great Quotes Increase Pickups Strong, memorable quotes help journalists build better stories and increase the likelihood your company gets featured. Memorable Quotes “Most press releases fail because they read like ads.” — Mickie Kennedy “Stories sell. Data supports the story.” — Trent Clark “AI should help you write better — not decide what’s newsworthy.” — Mickie Kennedy “A great quote is your Trojan horse into the article.” — Mickie Kennedy About Mickie Kennedy Mickie Kennedy is the founder and president of eReleases, a PR distribution service helping small businesses, startups, and authors gain real media exposure through PR Newswire distribution and strategic press release campaigns.

Give a Damn: Why Caring Companies Win in Business | Justin Ricklefs
The Brands That Win Care More. In baseball, you can feel when a team cares. You walk into the clubhouse… You watch how players treat the equipment manager… You see the energy in batting practice. You know immediately. The same thing happens in business. Customers can feel when a company actually gives a damn. And when they do… they become your biggest promoters. In this episode of WINNERS FIND A WAY, Trent Clark sits down with Justin Ricklefs, founder of Guild Collective and author of Give a Damn, to talk about the real competitive advantage in business today: human connection. Justin shares how brands win when they stop shouting about their products… and start telling stories that connect with people. This conversation covers: • Why your brand story matters more than your marketing budget • The biggest mistake companies make when communicating with customers • Why Chick-fil-A, Nike, and Apple dominate through emotional connection • How great leaders build companies that people actually care about • The power of customer delight in a noisy marketplace As Justin says: “Your brand is the story people tell about you when you're not in the room.” Winners Find a Way_ Guest-Justi… The question every leader should ask is simple: What story are people telling about your company?

The Wild World of Youth Sports & Raising Resilient Kids | Gary Thrapp
We’ve built elite athletes. But are we building strong humans? In this episode of WINNERS FIND A WAY, I sit down with Gary Thrapp — youth sports advocate, author, and owner of Beyond The Baseline — to talk about where youth sports is headed… and what it’s costing us. This conversation isn’t soft. It’s real. About Gary Thrapp With over 40 years in youth sports, Gary Thrapp has facilitated more than 50,000 games at his facility in Davenport, Iowa 9a8ef877-a0eb-478f-9c46-23d2842… . He’s the owner of Beyond The Baseline, a premier basketball and volleyball event center, and author of The Wild World of Youth Sports. Gary focuses on: Leadership development Character formation Community engagement Creating equitable opportunities for kids He works on the front lines of youth development every single day 9a8ef877-a0eb-478f-9c46-23d2842… . And what he’s seeing should get every parent’s attention. What We Covered 1️⃣ NIL & The Business of Youth Sports The money conversation isn’t going away. But when recruiting replaces development… When metrics replace fundamentals… When ego replaces effort… We have a problem. We talked about: NIL filtering down to youth levels The transfer portal mindset Winning vs. developing Recruiting talent vs. building skill 2️⃣ The Hidden Epidemic: Phones & Attention Gary told a story that hit me hard. A third grader asked him: “Why are you making us work while the adults are staring at their phones?” That’s leadership. From a third grader. We discussed: Attention spans collapsing Coaches competing with TikTok Parents missing the moments The competitive edge of focus If you want your child to have an advantage? Put the phone down. 3️⃣ Developing a Success Map Gary’s book Developing Your Success Map centers on one powerful idea: Ask kids what matters to them. Not what matters to you. We talked about: Purpose Dreams Monthly and daily goals Asking questions instead of lecturing You don’t build resilience by talking at kids. You build it by engaging them. 4️⃣ Character > Highlight Reels You can recruit talent. Or you can develop it. You can chase wins. Or you can build people. The scoreboard isn’t the ultimate measure. Character is. Resources Mentioned GaryThrapp.com BeyondTheBaseline.net The Wild World of Youth Sports (Available on Amazon) 9a8ef877-a0eb-478f-9c46-23d2842… Leading Winning Teams (Trent M.

Why Direct Response Marketing Still Wins (and Scales Fast) John Dwyer
Most companies don’t have a marketing problem — they have a response problem. In this episode of WINNERS FIND A WAY, Trent Clark sits down with direct-response master John Dwyer to unpack why incentives, personalization, and execution still outperform brand-only marketing — and how even small businesses can scale fast without massive budgets. About the Guest John Dwyer is a world-renowned direct-response marketer and Founder of The Institute of Wow. His work spans global brands like Disney, McDonald’s, Kellogg’s, Hilton, and challenger brands that needed fast, measurable growth. He’s also known for his legendary campaign that featured Jerry Seinfeld for an Australian financial institution — built not on branding fluff, but bold response-driven strategy. John’s philosophy is simple: 👉 Don’t make people fall in love with your brand first — 👉 Get them to experience value, then loyalty follows. Key Moments & Ideas Why direct response ≠ infomercial marketing Disney’s “Plus One” philosophy and how it applies to leadership How personalization turns customers into advocates The psychology behind incentive-based marketing Facebook lead contests that generate red-hot, self-qualified leads Why most businesses hear great ideas — but never implement them The difference between branding spend and measurable ROI How Seinfeld said “yes” after relentless (and smart) persistence Resources Mentioned 🌐 🌐 John Dwyer media & bio: 🎯 If your growth feels stuck, stop guessing and start responding. ▶️ Watch on YouTube: 🎧 Listen on the Podcast:

Success doesn’t come from flashy moments. It comes from showing up—every day—long after most people quit.

From $60M Lawsuit to 700 Brands: Shane Barker’s Relentless Rise
Most people quit at the first punch. Shane Barker got hit with a $60M lawsuit — and still found a way to win. In this episode of Winners Find A Way, we break down Shane’s journey through entrepreneurship, influencer marketing, Amazon warfare, personal branding, and the gritty truth of building something valuable when no one believes in you.
