As I rip through another mayhem filled day here at the Extreme Tan and Smoothies home office I came across this video from our second Town Hall, some of you old schoolers are thinkin, “Town Hall? WTF is that?”. Basically it’s the new “in” way to say “meeting” without actually saying the word meeting, you had to figure meeting would die after “mandatory” died a few years back. Thank you HR!
Anyway, this video is from our second Extreme Tan and Smoothies Town Hall. Instead of following the typical “meeting format” a bunch of associates voluntarily showed up to sit down and discuss issues within our small business tanning salon business, since I typically listen during these things I decided it would be fun to cook breakfast for everyone. It kept me focused

Looks like you had fun there. I like the way you take care of your business and employees. You should be a role model for many CEOs out there.
Marko´s last blog ..Do You Swear on Your Blog?
@Marko, I really wouldn’t say all that, but thank you. Haha I do think it’s fun to change it up every once in a while, and I think our associates enjoy it too.
Hey nice video John, I am sure you must have had fun up there.
@Suhasini, thank you for taking the time to comment, I always have fun with our associate events, we have a great staff.
Very creative idea, Once again.

John Sullivan´s last blog ..What was your Best day Blogging ?
@John Sullivan, haha I probably would have been there at 7 cooking it for my boss as well, everyone is different and everything takes learning. Not to mention she really had no idea I intended to cook breakfast, I never told her
Do you always through a pinch of tobacco on the way to work?
lol
@sangalicious1, there was a time that I did yes.
Treating employees right and respecting them is A MUST. I wouldn’t have it any other way. I feel good when my employees feel good. It’s a win win for everyone.
P.S. I changed my name to bounce house rental for now. I want to see the effect your site has on that keyword for me
@Anthony @ Bounce House Rental, sounds good let me know if you see any decent return or pop from it.
That’s great John. Now you’ve gotta start giving away turkey’s from the back of a truck on Christmas and Thanksgiving =). I like the new advertisement you popped up at the office too. It’s appealing ;)
@Sean Shaffer, already did that in 2005 and 2006 brother, 2006 we fed over 100 families ;)
@Extreme John,
I’m always late with you, damn. Surprised, missed my f***in period again LOL. Did you stash loot underneath the dog house already too!? j/k =). All jokes aside, wish I could do those things. I envy that Mister Sir.
It is critical for bosses to be involved in these types of meetings. I work in risk management, as you know, and I can assure people of one thing – if there’s an open door policy, staff meetings, town hall meetings and if employees feel they can speak up, many of the normal day-today business problems go away.
I loved the video, dude. Felt bad that you forgot the keys though. LOL.
The Constant Complainer´s last blog ..Sin City Tales
@The Constant Complainer, haha great points as always. As for the keys, that kind of stuff is typical in my life haha.
