CEO Daily Update – 10.14.2020

October 14, 2020 by Jason Gazaway

Update on Craig |  Thermometers | 4-Post Rack Rails | Overcoming Adversity | News to Start Your Day


Happy Wednesday!

(October 14th is National Dessert Day! What’s your favorite dessert?)


It’s Hump Day, friends! I hope your week has been productive. This time of year it seems like the days fly by around here. I guess that comes naturally with more activities, less daylight and a push to end the year well.  

Many of you have asked for an update on Craig. He’s doing well! His knee is completely healed now, no more limping or brace. He’s working with a friend on some clean out, organization and other projects around our place. So far they spent a week cleaning and organizing our barn, and it looks awesome! He’s always been good at big clean up projects. They even mopped the concrete floors and pulled the RV into its home. The kids are loving riding their bikes in the big open space now.  

This week he is working on some wifi improvements in our home, has a tree company coming to remove some dead trees, and is working on little handy things like adjusting doors that don’t catch just right. Rest for him rarely involves sitting and relaxing. He is enjoying the mental break for sure. We appreciate you all asking about him!  

Make sure you check out our product updates below. Rebecca, Jason and team are working hard to bring you good content each and every day. Besides the new product, bundle and pricing updates, I especially love the fact section that Jason curates for us.  

See you on the other side of the hump…

CEO Daily Update – 9.28.2020

Happy Monday
!  – I have a special message for everyone today.

Welcome to the CablesAndKits CEO daily email. 


I had an MRI on my knee last week. It still hurts pretty bad, even though I’ve had the steroid shot. The results came back as Bursitis which is:

…a painful condition that affects the small, fluid-filled sacs — called bursae (bur-SEE) — that cushion the bones, tendons and muscles near your joints. Bursitis occurs when bursae become inflamed.
 
Apparently, the treatment is RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation), and it can take up to a couple of MONTHS to clear up! Life is definitely more challenging when walking, or bending your leg, is painful.
 
In the meantime, I still struggle with the Crohn’s every day. I’ve gotta focus on getting that under control. It’s prob going to take some very intentional effort with food, supplements, doc visits, etc. I’m also tired more than I should be (likely Crohn’s related) and my brain also doesn’t seem to be fully in gear.
 
I tend to ignore my health issues expecting them to go away and focus on work or getting things done instead. When I was younger, they usually did go away but not so much anymore! Focusing on work while constantly dealing with the health issues has really worn me down and I have a hard time staying as motivated as usual.
 
So, I came to the conclusion that I’m going to take some time off. I don’t know how much yet. Probably a month, and more if needed. I’ve got a great team that can keep on keeping on without me just fine. I just need to get off the treadmill for a little while and do a reset. I am hopeful that I could make some significant progress with healing and come back as good as new.

I may still do a couple things CK related, but for the most part I am parking everything for a while. I need to. I’m sure I’ll be mentally processing strategy which always happens when I take time off, and that’s a good thing anyway. Many leaders take a sabbatical at some interval. Perhaps that’s what this is.  

This email will carry on, but without me for a little while. I have a handful of people who want to contribute to it in my absence and I’m sure you’ll enjoy what they have to say. Replies to this or other emails will be seen so don’t be shy if you need something!

Pray for my health …. And I’ll see you again soon.

 – Craig

Interview and First Impression of CablesAndKits

July 25, 2011 by Cris Anzai

I was recently given the opportunity, as a “new guy”, to give my first impression of CablesAndKits concerning the interview process. I guess, since it is still fresh in my mind, I can show you in vivid, accurate portrayal the events that occurred…or at least try to.

My first interview at CablesAndKits was your standard phone interview. Susan asked me a few questions and set up an actual interview with me the following week. I’ve been through several phone interviews before and this was your standard “get to know you before I meet you interview”. Everything after this interview wasn’t so standard.

The first interview I had with CablesAndKits was a group interview with the HR Manager, Susan, the Business Development Manager, Chris, and Alicia, one of the members of the sales team. The first thing I notice during the interview is that I am WAY overdressed. Here I am in a charcoal black suit and a red tie while the people around me are wearing jeans and tennis shoes. In the back of my mind I was wondering [Read more…] about Interview and First Impression of CablesAndKits

Our Future CEO?

July 12, 2011 by Susan Barge

As a company, we love serving our community in many different ways.  In the past, we have done several hands-on projects, raised money, and collected food for various agencies. Of course, there are many people who need and ask for help, but the minute two young men approached me about supporting the North Gwinnett Robotics Club, I knew I had to bring it before the owners.  Why did we choose to support them, you ask?
