  With our ice breaker today, Casey. Take it
• 0:58
  from here.
• 1:00
  Okey if you're choke well,
• 1:02
  today's ice break. Of course, we always look
• 1:05
  for
• 1:06
  you know, news from New Jersey and it's
• 1:08
  kind of a hot button issue where I
• 1:09
  live here in Walnut County, And it's about
• 1:12
  a little town called Ocean Grove. I don't
• 1:14
  know if everyone's familiar with Ocean Grove. It's
• 1:16
  Ocean Grove is a camp meeting Association, it's
• 1:18
  a methodist group that established a Christian seaside
• 1:21
  side, retreat in the Jersey Shore in 18
• 1:23
  69.
• 1:24
  And has closed its beaches on Sunday morning
• 1:27
  for about a hundred and 55 years.
• 1:29
  So now,
• 1:32
  they... You know, there's there's all these
• 1:35
  these these complaints that the the beach should
• 1:38
  be open for everybody, so the department of
• 1:40
  environmental protection. As accused the group of violating
• 1:43
  state beach access laws.
• 1:45
  So,
• 1:46
  because they are a methodist community, they wanna
• 1:49
  keep the beach closed on Sundays,
• 1:52
  however, they will temporarily keep it open while
• 1:54
  they fight this, because they still wanna keep
• 1:56
  the beach is closed.
• 1:58
  So,
• 1:59
  That is our is anyone else or on
• 2:01
  our panel
• 2:03
  familiar with Ocean Grove?
• 2:05
  I'm not. There somewhere here into this. So.
• 2:09
  I actually said on many episodes this show
• 2:11
  that I just don't do the beach, so
• 2:12
  I adam.
• 2:15
  So Ocean Grove is if you... You... You
• 2:17
  know, towards the Google,
• 2:19
  Ocean Grove is a really unique spot. There
• 2:22
  are they're a tent community.
• 2:24
  And these beautiful tents
• 2:27
  are decorated every year. People move into these
• 2:29
  tents for the entire season, they're not like,
• 2:31
  you know, camping out, you know, you just
• 2:33
  go, like, a road trip camping. They are
• 2:35
  beautiful tents that the frame is there all
• 2:37
  year ramp, and then they come in they
• 2:39
  They put them together. They're absolutely gorgeous. And
• 2:41
  so the entire community
• 2:43
  is a methodist community. So when I was
• 2:45
  little, they used to close the gates. So
• 2:48
  you couldn't even drive in the community on
• 2:50
  Sundays. They still have gates for the foot
• 2:51
  bridges,
• 2:53
  but,
• 2:54
  yeah you know it or not. What do
• 2:55
  you think about the beach access laws.
• 2:59
  Do you think a community, you
• 3:02
  should have the right, I guess, to close
• 3:04
  its beaches for religious purposes,
• 3:08
  on Sunday mornings or should be
• 3:10
  accessible to everybody.
• 3:12
  Ac coming in with a heavy ice fragrances
• 3:14
  Yeah. I was here miss saying. So it's
• 3:16
  okay Church question. How far I should go
• 3:18
  from you down as.
• 3:19
  The semi log... Oh, so it's not Okay.
• 3:22
  And then is this the first time that
• 3:23
  they ever have to kinda, like, deal with
• 3:24
  this sort of this issue? Yeah. I mean,
• 3:26
  this is where it started to kind of
• 3:28
  calm down, you know, a lot of a
• 3:30
  lot of people are...
• 3:32
  They had a peer that they just built
• 3:34
  that's
• 3:35
  that there was some controversy over, but
• 3:38
  this is the first time that they've well,
• 3:41
  it's been a hundred and 55 years. They've
• 3:42
  had their closed on Sunday mornings. So
• 3:46
  it's
• 3:47
  Ocean grove is a fabulous, fabulous community. It's
• 3:49
  beautiful. It's so beautiful.
• 3:52
  But
• 3:53
  people feel like they should... And does not
• 3:55
  have to be...
• 3:56
  You know, just this community, just the idea
• 3:58
  of any community
• 4:00
  being able to, like, close the beach for,
• 4:02
  any part
• 4:04
  of the season.
• 4:07
  Look that's all you not in your head,
• 4:08
  or you can familiar with opus Grove?
• 4:10
  Yeah. Actually, at last time, we went down
• 4:12
  to the beach, we stayed Ocean ocean Grove.
• 4:15
  And then we we walked over to
• 4:17
  As for the dinner.
• 4:20
  And we did go through that 10 community
• 4:22
  and observed all that. And then when we
• 4:24
  woke up on Sunday,
• 4:25
  we realized the beach was closed. And we
• 4:27
  said, oh, how about that?
• 4:30
  So, yeah, I'm familiar with it. I didn't
• 4:32
  I didn't make any connection to to, you
• 4:35
  know,
• 4:36
  decision made. I came around that. You know,
• 4:38
  I just assumed that's how it was and
• 4:40
  that's how it would be.
• 4:42
  So I think it's really interesting that it's
• 4:44
  it's coming up for debate now.
• 4:47
  I don't know how most of the shores
• 4:49
  are treated, like state parks perhaps or
• 4:53
  you know. But
• 4:55
  I'm not too familiar with what
• 4:57
  what could happen
• 4:59
  or what people are asking for.
• 5:03
  Was the article?
• 5:05
  The article is it... Is kind of everywhere
• 5:07
  right now. It is a hop button. And
• 5:08
  this 1, this 1 in particular that I
• 5:10
  was... Is on the associated press.
• 5:13
  But the...
• 5:14
  All the, like, global New Jersey papers are
• 5:17
  are showing this right now because it's... It's
• 5:19
  a a little bit of a hot button
• 5:20
  issue. Mean know, it's terrible huge hop issue,
• 5:22
  because there's a lot of beaches around you
• 5:24
  have As Park in the ocean grove and
• 5:26
  they think Bradley Beach.
• 5:28
  And Balm and so forth. So you have
• 5:30
  a lot of beach access.
• 5:33
  But, you know, I guess it's like, where
• 5:35
  you draw the line because you have certain
• 5:38
  in beach clubs that restrict access, but there's
• 5:41
  always has to be a beach access to
• 5:44
  people. There always has to be some kind
• 5:45
  of beach access.
• 5:48
  For... And ends free. So I don't know
• 5:50
  what the,
• 5:52
  how far away it has to be, but
• 5:53
  there are, like, past to get onto the
• 5:55
  free beach because there has to be beach
• 5:57
  access for people at some point, You know,
• 6:00
  because you at. Remind me wants people are
• 6:02
  complaining about this now? Because didn't you say
• 6:04
  it's always... Has it always been the case
• 6:05
  that they closed
• 6:07
  dude? Yes. So why why now? Is it
• 6:09
  a hot button issue? What's going on with
• 6:10
  it now? The I don't know. People just
• 6:13
  drew the line. They were like, that's it.
• 6:14
  I've had enough.
• 6:17
  Are at a all time high. I think
• 6:18
  we know that and and, like, all areas
• 6:20
  are culture.
• 6:22
  Yeah. I mean, it is it is,
• 6:25
  the state department of environmental protection has accused
• 6:28
  the group of violating the state beach excess
• 6:30
  laws. So I don't know if it's,
• 6:33
  so much public opinion. I didn't see the
• 6:35
  public opinion piece to it, It's just... But
• 6:38
  if
• 6:39
  Luke Moreno Ocean grove, it is so charming.
• 6:42
  It's so pretty it's almost like you can
• 6:44
  feel like you're a movie set.
• 6:45
  Yeah. For sure. And... But I also would
• 6:48
  say, I feel like their beach
• 6:50
  section is not very long. You could probably
• 6:52
  walk it.
• 6:54
  So
• 6:56
  you know, if if
• 6:58
  that section closed, you could walk, you know,
• 7:00
  half a mile either direction direction it'd probably
• 7:02
  be okay. Oh, absolutely. Yeah. Absolutely could. But,
• 7:07
  for
• 7:08
  for anybody who's not Been to grow up
• 7:09
  I highly recommend visiting it because it is...
• 7:12
  It is just, like you're walking back in
• 7:14
  time. It's really kind of, you know, caught
• 7:16
  back in time. It's very, very pretty. There...
• 7:18
  Did you get to go to the ice
• 7:19
  cream shop there?
• 7:20
  Days.
• 7:21
  I think I did. I think I
• 7:23
  did.
• 7:25
  And you know, I think 1 of the
• 7:27
  the appeals to us was it's not as
• 7:29
  bustling.
• 7:30
  As, you know, some of the other Jersey
• 7:32
  shores.
• 7:33
  And so, you know, I think because of
• 7:35
  those things that you talked about it may
• 7:37
  not be as much of a destination or
• 7:39
  as busy.
• 7:40
  Right. So... Yes. So there are parts of
• 7:42
  the people say, like, you you should preserve
• 7:44
  it. Because it's so historical,
• 7:47
  then another people is, like, it shouldn't have
• 7:49
  access to the beach no matter what.
• 7:52
  So, I don't know. Maybe I'm not coming
• 7:54
  down on 1 side of the. I don't
• 7:55
  know if about this. Right.
• 7:57
  Then then it's like, I, I'll put them
• 7:59
  a the do list, but work... We won't
• 8:00
  do it for a sunday Worry. That's for
• 8:02
  ship.
• 8:03
  You know, it just seems so like, why
• 8:05
  why fight this? Because, like...
• 8:07
  Like you said, it's such a small little
• 8:09
  area land like,
• 8:10
  you really wanna go to the beach, just
• 8:12
  walk half a mile that way. I I
• 8:13
  don't know. I I Just yeah.
• 8:16
  Speak I
• 8:17
  I'll start already with everything that's been on
• 8:19
  social media and everything this weekend, I'll post.
• 8:23
  Well, that next will do a lighter 1
• 8:24
  is is Cookie monster, a mop or a
• 8:27
  z puppet. That y'all prepared to talk about
• 8:30
  that. Her last ice
• 8:32
  was like, Britney Spears cons ship has ended.
• 8:35
  Talk amongst yourselves.
• 8:38
  Now she's like, do you feel like this
• 8:40
  religion should be allowed to do this scale
• 8:44
  So with that out of the way,
• 8:47
  we're gonna talk about a Blue Here. Randy,
• 8:50

• 8:52

  I, I had the privilege. Tell our audience
• 8:56
  right to to to take golf lessons from
• 8:58
  Luke a couple weeks ago. So
• 9:01
  the the fact that he's on own the
• 9:02
  podcast today is just just a follow up.
• 9:04
  So we just got a couple get to
• 9:06
  know you questions.
• 9:07
  The first 1 is. Right? You can't come
• 9:09
  on plan in New Jersey.
• 9:10
  Without the only thing letting us know where
• 9:12
  your continental
• 9:13
  loyalty lie. You know, are you a Jersey
• 9:16
  native, you know, family history if you guys

• 9:20
  tell us if could you you've you get
• 9:21
  a dirty got your whole life.
• 9:24
  Yeah. Now I'm by hopeful life. But, the
• 9:26
  first in the first 10 years, I was...
• 9:27
  You is in West Virginia... West Virginia. And
• 9:32
  then we moved up to New Jersey, and
• 9:33
  I've been New Jersey since
• 9:35
  until next month when I'm I'm leaving the
• 9:38
  state.
• 9:41
  Listen, that was my that was my next
• 9:43
  of my next questions is I understand just
• 9:45
  right from Being. And and the golf carts
• 9:47
  right around you're in the middle of relocating,
• 9:49
  you got a a daughter going off the
• 9:51
  college if I remember correctly, Vin and I
• 9:52
  are like, on the off it in the
• 9:54
  spectrum of where you and Kc with the
• 9:56
  younger adults, you know, children.
• 9:58
  So how how's that going, man? Are you
• 9:59
  guys ready? How's that going for you guys?
• 10:01
  What's
• 10:03
  It gets. It's it's a while time. There's
• 10:06
  still so many many changes that are happening
• 10:09
  all at the same time with
• 10:11
  my daughter going to college, my other daughter
• 10:14
  go firing into high school.
• 10:17
  My wife that is selling her business.
• 10:20
  And you're selling a house and buying a
• 10:22
  house, it's just a lot happening
• 10:25
  all at the same time.
• 10:27
  Then then at this moment is what you
• 10:28
  would have to put in the sound effects
• 10:30
  of applause because with all that going on,
• 10:32
  he still took an hour an hour and
• 10:33
  a half of his day.
• 10:35
  That's... So so so we greatly appreciate it,
• 10:37
  sir. Thank you so much. 1 1 more
• 10:39
  getting to know you question That's okay.
• 10:41
  Casey and and and and, then both are,
• 10:44
  like, Movie bust. Sometimes they start talking about
• 10:46
  movies and actors and actresses that have no
• 10:48
  idea who they're talking about. So aside from
• 10:50
  golf coaching, are there any hobbies or other
• 10:52
  interests that sometimes the General Public does not
• 10:55
  know about Luke.
• 10:58
  I think Gulf coast is pretty high on
• 11:00
  my list.
• 11:02
  Though you were my first coach city.
• 11:05
  I I never
• 11:12
  no. No, I like I like being outside.
• 11:14
  A like being out in nature, whether that's
• 11:16
  camping, hiking, golfing,
• 11:19
  just being out and enjoying
• 11:21
  what nature has to offer? That's that's where
• 11:23
  I spend my time.
• 11:24
  Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Then then that then that's
• 11:27
  what I got then. I think we got
• 11:28
  them off to a bit start. What Alright.
• 11:30
  Casey, You're up with questions about Luke's professional
• 11:33
  journey.
• 11:34
  Yeah. So,
• 11:36
  Luke, you know, we did get to chi
• 11:37
  chat a little bit, but, just kind of
• 11:40
  reading up about your,
• 11:42
  how
• 11:43
  you know, you formed contemporary leadership advisors,
• 11:46
  just kinda what brought you,
• 11:48
  you know, I didn't read about your about
• 11:50
  page, but I'd love to hear a little
• 11:52
  bit of the journey of how you got
• 11:53
  to this.
• 11:56
  Yeah. So I joined Cla back in 2016.
• 11:59
  I I just realized that as I'm going
• 12:01
  through these this housing.
• 12:04
  Decisions
• 12:05
  reflected on that. And
• 12:07
  so it seems like it's been a lot
• 12:08
  shorter than it than it actually has. It's
• 12:10
  been You know, I guess, almost almost a
• 12:13
  decade now, well, maybe not quite.
• 12:16
  I used to be a very linear thing,
• 12:18
  and then we hit the pandemic and then
• 12:20
  it got weird. Like
• 12:22
  check, I think of, like, 20 20 to
• 12:24
  20 23 or so as, like, a month.
• 12:27
  Yeah. So it's totally great.
• 12:31
  Right. And that's that's similar to I feel
• 12:33
  about my life cycle at Cla,
• 12:36
  which...
• 12:38
  You know, is there's the prep pandemic Cli
• 12:40
  and then there's kinda, like, the post pandemic
• 12:42
  Cla.
• 12:44
  And in the beginning, there's just 3 partners
• 12:47
  were trying to get it off the ground,
• 12:48
  trying to get it established. And then post
• 12:51
  the pandemic. There's been a bit of a
• 12:53
  shift in our approach. And things have been
• 12:55
  taking off Ever since. So, you know, it's
• 12:58
  really been going well in terms of the
• 13:00
  business growth.
• 13:03
  Casey. Let me let me better answer your
• 13:05
  question if if if I missed it there.
• 13:09
  No. I mean, it's it's it's perfect. And
• 13:11
  you... And you brought up your partners of
• 13:13
  which...
• 13:15
  When is it Steven Dan just came out
• 13:17
  with a new book?
• 13:19
  Your Yeah. Steve Garcia and Dan Fisher just
• 13:22
  came out looking at that. Randy got his
• 13:24
  Randy got it. Yeah Yeah. He's got all
• 13:26
  his his notes in it as well. I
• 13:28
  think. Right? You got all this the sticky
• 13:31
  notes. I Know. I'm not to delve into
• 13:33
  it just yet, but it is on the
• 13:35
  summer reading list for sure. It is on
• 13:37
  the summer reading list.
• 13:40
  The language. Yeah.
• 13:41
  That that was... Yeah. The the book was
• 13:44
  a big deal.
• 13:45
  That that came out last year at the
• 13:47
  end of leadership.
• 13:50
  And it it it presents our position and
• 13:53
  our perspective,
• 13:54
  in in the work that we're doing,
• 13:57
  which is super interesting. Like, you have some
• 13:59
  things in your solutions like, peer learning circles,
• 14:04
  which sounds super interesting.
• 14:06
  I love if you could talk about that
• 14:08
  a alone. I mean it seems... It seems
• 14:09
  like something we did in school kind of
• 14:11
  growing up,
• 14:12
  the things that we've always done, like, when
• 14:14
  we... When we're chatting, we get to a
• 14:16
  circle and we're all kind of evenly distributed,
• 14:18
  but it sounds
• 14:20
  it sounds unique still. Even though it sounds
• 14:21
  like it's been with us a while.
• 14:25
  Yeah. I... With with the pandemic and all
• 14:27
  the return to work.
• 14:29
  Conversations. There been challenges around, like, how do
• 14:31
  you
• 14:32
  interact with people? How do you find people
• 14:33
  and and that connection
• 14:36
  I think people are trying to red rediscovered
• 14:38
  it. And we've found that peer learning circles
• 14:41
  are great way for people, to learn and
• 14:44
  connect and talk,
• 14:47
  and it's really effective
• 14:49
  no matter what your initiative
• 14:51
  initiative is,
• 14:53
  you know, we do it with a lot
• 14:54
  of leadership development programs,
• 14:56
  having peer learning circles, but we also use
• 14:58
  it in other applications as well.
• 15:01
  A lot of our work includes peer learning
• 15:02
  circles.
• 15:04
  Who's dark? Oh, she. No. No. Exactly. Then
• 15:07
  I was gonna ask the same thing Like,
• 15:08
  what does that mean?
• 15:09
  Does that work?
• 15:11
  So so, basically, you know, it we we
• 15:14
  group people in in with their peers. Right?
• 15:17
  So hence, you know, peer.
• 15:21
  And then there's a facilitator who will take
• 15:24
  you through to whether it's a 6 month,
• 15:27
  8 month 12 month journey where you're connecting
• 15:29
  with the same group of people
• 15:31
  and talking about, you know, what you're experiencing,
• 15:34
  how you're accomplishing
• 15:36
  solutions,
• 15:38
  oftentimes is topic based
• 15:39
  and
• 15:41
  and really goal oriented in terms of what
• 15:42
  this group is trying to achieve, over the
• 15:44
  course of the 12 month or 6 month
• 15:47
  curriculum.
• 15:50
  So people come to you learn how to
• 15:52
  be better leaders? Is it individuals or, you
• 15:55
  know, is it more like a company will
• 15:56
  come to you and say, like, I've got
• 15:58
  this group of people I want to be
• 15:59
  better at, you know, at what they do?
• 16:03
  Yeah. A lot times the work that we
• 16:04
  do is... So, you know, traditionally, we do
• 16:07
  assessment and development work, which is, like,
• 16:10
  leadership sec assessment and
• 16:13
  executive coaching type stuff. But then we also
• 16:15
  do team workshops and,
• 16:18
  we we help companies
• 16:20
  create and develop their their their leadership development
• 16:23
  programs.
• 16:24
  So, you know, if you're an organization, you
• 16:27
  say, wanna be able to scale up my
• 16:28
  leaders for, you know, what's coming
• 16:31
  coming down in the future, you know, we'll
• 16:34
  help you stand that up and set that
• 16:35
  up. But then we also help them, you
• 16:38
  know, more recently,
• 16:40
  something that's been big as D,
• 16:42
  and, you know, we're helping them execute on
• 16:44
  their D initiative tips.
• 16:47
  So like, basically,
• 16:49
  if you think about where leadership or people
• 16:53
  tips affect your organization,
• 16:55
  that's where we we help out.
• 16:58
  So I couldn't help but notice that the
• 17:00
  title of Randy new favorite book
• 17:03
  the end of leadership, or what was it
• 17:05
  as we know it? Or was that?
• 17:07
  So tell me a little bit about your
• 17:09
  philosophy or at least the company's philosophy on
• 17:11
  leadership in house. Changed.
• 17:14
  I mean, I don't wanna spoil the whole
• 17:15
  book here. Like draw where you go? Yeah.
• 17:20
  Yeah. Really test my chops here. Now,
• 17:23
  well, so I think, you know, 1 of
• 17:25
  1 of the key things
• 17:27
  is that
• 17:29
  traditional
• 17:30
  organizations have been, you know, top down,
• 17:33
  slow, bureaucratic,
• 17:34
  you know, just sit, like,
• 17:37
  organizations,
• 17:38
  and
• 17:39
  it's all been about efficiency
• 17:41
  and doing things
• 17:43
  under the right process.
• 17:45
  And more recently
• 17:47
  in today's environment,
• 17:49
  organizations have to move more quickly.
• 17:51
  And so that traditional model
• 17:53
  of, you know, top down leadership is not
• 17:56
  the same as
• 17:57
  what what we're seeing today.
• 18:00
  Organizations need to be adaptive
• 18:02
  and, you know, have different ways of managing,
• 18:05
  you know, smaller groups,
• 18:07
  you know, making decisions
• 18:09
  as much information,
• 18:11
  and how do you navigate that is a
• 18:13
  lot different
• 18:14
  than the traditional model where it's slow and,
• 18:18
  you know, measured,
• 18:20
  that decisions.
• 18:23
  Ben can I ask a question too? My
• 18:25
  he's easy. So so so a question with
• 18:27
  almost a decade of experience with cla Right?
• 18:29
  Do... And and and this is not to
• 18:30
  shop any other industry. But do you find
• 18:32
  certain industries are more challenging in terms of
• 18:34
  their leadership and with
• 18:36
  adjusting that perspective with, you know, with with
• 18:38
  different philosophies of things of that nature. Like,
• 18:40
  certain leadership from or or certain industries more
• 18:42
  challenging than others and accepting that change or
• 18:44
  the adjustments.
• 18:46
  Yeah. That's... So though, you know, I think
• 18:49
  it's
• 18:49
  for my personal opinion, it it's... It's based
• 18:53
  on how competitive that industry is. Right? So,
• 18:56
  like, probably government and nonprofit. There's not a
• 18:59
  lot of competition there, so they can remain
• 19:01
  bureaucratic. They don't need to change. Right? Whereas
• 19:04
  highly competitive markets where they're trying, you know,
• 19:07
  companies are trying to get edge. They are
• 19:09
  trying to get a leg up. They need
• 19:10
  to be adaptable they needs to be flexible.
• 19:13
  Things are coming at them quickly,
• 19:15
  and they need to adjust.
• 19:17
  Awesome. Wow
• 19:19
  interesting.
• 19:22
  Luke, I got 1 more here.
• 19:24
  What what are people thinking about? You know,
• 19:26
  in this space? Like, what what are the
• 19:27
  trends going on in leadership right now?
• 19:31
  Yeah. So I think I I may have
• 19:33
  said it before, but but... The
• 19:36
  the trend that we hear the most about
• 19:38
  right now is D and D,
• 19:42
  and
• 19:43
  organizations are trying to figure out how to
• 19:44
  how to deal with that. And so a
• 19:46
  lot of times, we'll will come in assist
• 19:49
  them with their initiatives to through execution. Or
• 19:52
  through planning or how would they wanna deal
• 19:54
  with it?
• 19:58
  I I don't know how to ask this
• 20:00
  question, so I'm just gonna ask, but
• 20:02
  what do we mean when we say dealing
• 20:04
  with D? Like, how do how do we...
• 20:07
  You know what? What I'm trying to get
• 20:08
  at? Like, it's, like,
• 20:10
  how did... How does the company approach something
• 20:12
  like that?
• 20:14
  Yeah. So a company could be assessing...
• 20:17
  Like, they could start with assessing where they
• 20:19
  are? At the time? Like, you know, are
• 20:22
  are there practices in place
• 20:26
  suitable for what they're trying to accomplish?
• 20:29
  And so there's... There's a measurement
• 20:32
  piece of this, which is saying, hey, let's
• 20:34
  let's measure. Let's interview our people and see...
• 20:37
  How we're doing against these initiatives. Are we
• 20:38
  doing well? Are we not doing well.
• 20:41
  And then after you... You've done that assessment,
• 20:43
  you can say, okay. Well, we wanna put
• 20:46
  a training in place or our plan in
• 20:48
  place or something
• 20:49
  that gets my people
• 20:51
  to
• 20:52
  achieve the objectives we set forth in our,
• 20:54
  D initiative.
