This blog is great summary of how the Scout internship instilled collaboration and connections! Great job to all the interns on their capstone presentations (and for answering all my questions 😉)!!!

Make no mistake - how you treat your employees is a brand play. Let me explain. I was already aware of Once Upon a Farm, but this honest praise for a dedicated intern planted a seed in my mind (as an outsider completely unaffiliated with the company) that this is a brand with genuine integrity behind it. They don't seem to be doing it for likes, or sales, or web traffic. There are not likely KPIs set against it, no data reports will be pulled to measure it's effectiveness, but that doesn't mean it's not a smart marketing move. It effects how we see and feel about them. Which effects purchasing intent. Not everything is measured in CTRs and ROAS, folks.

The first week of summer vacation for my kids is here. We're gearing up for summer camps and activities. This time of year takes me back to my college internship, where I ran sports camps for the local YMCA. We started and ended each day by reviewing the core values: Caring Respect Honesty Responsibility. We would talk about these as we opened the day, and at the end of the day, we would ask if anyone saw any of the campers displaying these behaviors. Those who did were rewarded with a little prize and a round of applause. If organizations reward and recognize core values, they will continue to permeate through the organization. Think about what behaviors are being rewarded and emulated and which ones you want to be magnified.

Every internship has its challenges. One of my first tasks at Elevation Pictures was to find a way to bring 50 cans of Pabst Blue Ribbon and 70 bottles of Miller High Life to the office for a party. All I had? The company card and my Jansport backpack. To minimize company costs, I walked over to the LCBO. Evelyn, a senior associate there, kindly gave me permission to use an LCBO trolley to transport the drinks to the office. The problem? The 70 bottles of Miller High Life took up the entire trolley. I’d have to make a second trip for the PBRs. This was a setback I hadn’t planned for, but every internship has its challenges. All in all, it took me 30 minutes to get all 120 beers into the office and into the fridge. Here’s what I learned: 🔹 TALK TO PEOPLE. Without Evelyn’s help, it would’ve taken me at least 10 more minutes to transport all those beers to the office. 🔹 BE READY TO IMPROVISE. Flexibility can turn a tough beer run into a manageable one. 🔹 EMBRACE THE CHALLENGE. Every beer run is an opportunity to learn and grow. Internships are full of unexpected tasks, but they teach you resourcefulness and resilience.
