Walking the Walk

If you really believe in the idea of “sustainable living”, then it’s not enough to just “talk the talk”. You’ve got to “walk the walk” as well. Or in our guest’s case “change your daily ride” from a gas guzzling, soccer mom’s van into an earth friendly eBike. For all her commutes (even with kids!)

That’s the story of Deborah LaSalle from Boise, Idaho who co-founded Warm Springs Consulting, a “sustainability consulting firm” whose mission is to help organizations (including big mining companies) “be more efficient and trade-out carbon emitting technologies for those that maintain profitability in a way that’s better for the planet”.

So how could this “eco-friendly soccer mom” drive a gas guzzling mini van? For Deb, the quest was clear. And her solution was the Pedego Stretch, a cargo carrying model that allowed her to take all her kids and all their gear wherever needed.

Deb lives six miles from her office and for all that travel back and forth to work plus her kids’ school and sports activities, she’s switched to an eBike. Even using it for occasional travel downtown and to the airport as well. Estimating that she’s been able to switch over at least 50% of her normal travel to something that just feels better (and more fun!) for everyone involved.

Ride along as she tells us all about it. On the week’s PEDEGO PODCAST. And how (at the end of the day) she truly believes she hasn’t sacrificed anything. But found far more than she expected on this electric bike path that feels a bit more genuine and a whole lot better for her, her family and the world they live in.

Quotes:

“I think one of the reasons I became a coach within the community is because…I didn’t want people to struggle at the same level I did. Maybe I could help them to have less of that…but as I got through that struggle, I started to see that, wow, I was really bringing some beauty into the world, making a big impact.” Jim Coyle, (2:35)

“…There was a whole system that we had to set up and so it took a little bit of work, but it was well worth it for sure.” Jim Coyle, (5:27)

“….I think that a lot of times we, as entrepreneurs, set up a culture [where] we are the center of the universe that is the business. And that ultimately can cause a lot of problems for the business because everything then has to go through you because that’s what you designed. I don’t think that entrepreneurs realize they designed it that way, and then they whine about it…I do see that they cause their own pain.” Jim Coyle, (5:39)

“When people bring their full self to a company, [that] is when you get the full value from the individual.” Jim Coyle, (22:55)

“…I think that when we are the same person in all aspects of our lives…that’s when we can really bring real value and love…to the world. I think that when we’re putting energy into creating other personas, that doesn’t work, and I do think the EOS Life helps with that.“ Jim Coyle, (23:07)

Quotes:

“It’s figuring out how do we look a little bit further down the road to understand what we have and what we don’t have so we can proactively plan around it.” – Mike Ryan, (2:19)

“If a business is running on EOS, they’ve got a process, they’ve got people, and most importantly, their accountability is defined…the results are going to be not as favorable and not as sustainable as a business that has people, process, and technology running in a framework like EOS.” – Mike Ryan, (5:54)

“…what I find so exciting is when people get clear about what their ten-year target, three-year picture, or one-year plan is. When they get clear about that…they can begin to compartmentalize the journey that they have rather than trying to do it all at once or carrying all that imagination.” – Mike Ryan, (11:38)

“When the predictability and repeatability goes out of the supply chain, the ability to do ‘just in time’ goes away with it.” – Mike Ryan, (23:27)
