A day in the life of Cameron Moore: Balancing work and life From the quiet focus required in a sniper's perch to the joyous chaos of parenting two young boys, Cameron Moore is no stranger to juggling multiple priorities. As Highline Warren's sourcing manager, Cameron doesn’t just negotiate deals and manage procurement; he builds trust in an industry where relationships mean everything. Around 6:00 a.m., Cameron’s alarm goes off so he can spend time with his two young boys before they head to school. Next comes a 14-step commute to his home office, which proves to be a key part of his balancing act. Cameron works remotely, overseeing negotiations and meetings with more than 200 vendors and managing $60 million of spend. Between meetings, he takes preparation seriously, knowing how important the conversations are for both Highline Warren and our vendors. Beyond negotiations, Cameron dedicates time during the week to help determine how the company develops new products. At the end of each day, Cameron and his colleagues meet to share negotiation processes, discuss best practices, identify hurdles and brainstorm solutions. He also develops a detailed to-do list of items to accomplish the following day. Around 5:00 p.m., Cameron swaps contracts for karate belts, taking his kids to the dojo, teaching them hobbies and spending time with them. And when duty calls, he dons his National Guard uniform, serving as a sniper section leader for the 1/278th Armored Cavalry Regiment in the Tennessee National Guard. What gets Cameron out of bed every morning? He says it’s the daily challenge, the impact he makes, his continuous personal growth and his contribution to Highline Warren’s success. #DayInTheLife #AutomotiveIndustry #AutoIndustry #WorkLifeBalance

Establishing your brand is much like trying to set up a base in a jungle, says our creative director, Chris, a former Royal Marines Commando officer. You have to cut through dense, tangled obstacles in a busy, chaotic environment to make sure you can operate in a crowded brand space. Each small, seemingly insignificant action, like trimming a vine, developing your logo, making your ‘A-frame’ and crafting your 'Unique Selling Proposition' statement feels like it does little, but it's crucial in the long run. Over time, these small steps compound, and you carve out a distinct, recognisable space for your brand. This dedicated space makes it easier for your brand to go out there and engage with potential customers, solidifying your brand's presence and influence! #BrandSpace

📚 Just finished reading The Almanack of Naval Ravikant 📚 In The Almanack of Naval Ravikant, Naval shares timeless insights on wealth, happiness, and finding purpose. A few lessons resonate deeply as I continue my journey in merchandising: Creating Wealth Over Chasing Money: Naval emphasizes building unique skills and assets rather than just trading time for money. In merchandising, developing expertise in sourcing, trend analysis, and supplier management is like creating "compound interest" in career growth. Leverage Your Time: The book talks about maximizing output through tools, people, and capital. For me, that means mastering processes to streamline sourcing, minimize lead times, and deliver quality, all while building valuable connections. Happiness Through Peace of Mind: Naval’s take on happiness is about aligning daily life with personal values. As I work in this fast-paced industry, finding time to reflect and balance is essential. If you're looking for practical wisdom that applies across any field, The Almanack of Naval Ravikant is a must-read! 🌟 #Merchandising #ProfessionalGrowth #NavalRavikant #WealthAndHappiness #CareerDevelopment

Happy Paisley Friday LinkedIn Family!!! I love the contrast of this little combination I am wearing today. The teal vest against the black shirt. It really pops, doesn't it? Who would think that two completely opposite colors would look so good together, (well besides me). What does this have to do with transition on a Paisley Friday? Everything!!! (we work transition in even on Paisley Friday people) Things from two different areas, worlds, sides, whatever you want to call it can go together, even when you first look at it and wonder if it will work. Kind of like all of the skills that we learn in the military, you know, the ones that we always hear that civilian companies are looking for? We learn them in the military: leadership, critical thinking, operating in a stressful environment, risk management. All of these things that we bring to the table, learned in the military while wearing the cloth of our nation, yet the civilian world is hungry for these kinds of skills. Our skills pop when we showcase them the right way. Just like the vest, and just like the smile you show the world. Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!! Paisley on!!! #pop #oppositesattract #vest #leadership #skills #transition #smile #paisleyrevolution #paisleyon

The O.G. Team. We haven't seen Joe in a long time - maybe I'll get him on a video here soon. The Hammer seems all too interested in hogging the limelight. Since this picture last year, things have changed slightly. William Johnson is employee #2 at Aerial Resupply Coffee®, focused on sales and business development. If you haven't connected to Will or had a conversation about how we can bring Aerial Resupply Coffee to you - I recommend it. ARC is on the final approach to opening its very first brick-and-mortar store here in Charlottesville, Virginia. It's so close, we can almost smell it. Other quick updates: - You can grab Aerial Resupply Coffee® on Amazon. - You can get Aerial Resupply Coffee® in Kroger - ARC is on RangeMe (if you're interested in becoming a distributor) - ARC is always looking for Brand Ambassadors - R&D has begun on new coffee roasts - New Apparel is dropping shortly - Oh and you can get free shipping when you subscribe. Honestly - there's too much to type. Suffice it to say there are a lot of things happening simultaneously. I HIGHLY recommend you sign up for my newsletter on my website to stay up to date with all the new happenings. As always, Stay caffeinated. Preferably with Aerial Resupply Coffee®. #veterans #coffee #marketing #military #transitioningmilitary #thehammer

https://lnkd.in/gXsfhfN3 The very interesting story of hovercraft. From civilian (cross channel) usage that didn’t work (too expensive, too much maintainance) to new markets as work boat, SAR, or military/navy asset. Very interesting
