Randy Chaffee and Wes Wyatt
WHO’S ON WITH US TODAY?
Host: Randy Chaffee – “the Hybrid Road Warrior” and face of Building Wins Live
Producer/Director & Co-Host: Wes Wyatt
Guest: None
No guest this round. Randy and Wes pull back the curtain on planning, consistency, Q4 focus, and how they blend “Asphalt & Algorithms” — in-person relationship building with digital, podcasting, and AI. They also discuss current book projects: Randy’s Asphalt & Algorithms (now available), Wes’s book in progress, a joint project with Ben Gay III for The Closers series, and an upcoming Building Wins book.
MAIN POINTS
Busy season mindset: Back-to-school through Thanksgiving is a prime window; in Randy’s construction space, September through December can account for a massive share of the annual volume—urgency matters.
Consistency compounds: Most podcasts never reach 10 episodes; Building Wins has over 200 (and counting), and Warehouse Safety Tips is nearing 300. Treat your own initiatives like a client: schedule, batch, and build contingencies.
Hybrid > either/or: Post-COVID, keep the digital wins (video, streaming, social) while returning to handshakes and site visits. B2B is still P2P.
AI as a crutch, not a wheelchair: Use it for outlines, titles, descriptions, route planning, post-time optimization, and editing in your voice — but insist it ask clarifying questions and challenge you (no “yes-bot”). Keep your core skills sharp for when tech hiccups occur.
Market You First: People don’t just buy products; they buy you. Randy’s “I Buy From Randy” ethos is built on speed, service, fairness, and being reachable. Visibility = opportunities, and buyers must also feel safe with you.
Mastermind power: Their “Megamind” roots prove that asking, sharing, and showing up lead to guests, collabs, and friendships (e.g., Ben Gay III). Start your own circle.
Die empty: (Myles Munroe) — get your ideas out: blogs, books, podcasts. Only about 1% of people publish a book; your story helps someone.
Stack small wins: Little disciplines across business, health, and life create significant outcomes (think The Slight Edge). Wins compound.
