Shaping Success | From Teacher to Salesman: Wes Tankersley’s Story
Description
Where did Shaping Success begin? In Episode 1, Kyle Uhlenkott interviews Wes Tankersley about his journey from teaching and coaching to window-covering sales—and how a slow month led him to explore social media, personal branding, and podcasting.
Wes shares how posting consistently helped him connect with people, including Kyle, and why their early vision was to spotlight and support businesses across Idaho’s Treasure Valley. They also talk about finding motivation, using your strengths, building relationships, and taking the first step before you have everything figured out.
