Episode 137 Scott Warren’s Garth Brooks Moment—And What It Reveals About Employee Engagement Frederick Dudek (Freddy D) Copyright 2025 Prosperous Ventures, LLC

What if your most loyal employee didn’t need a raise—but a moment?

In this unforgettable episode of the Business Superfans® Podcast, host Freddy D sits down with Scott Warren, former arena executive and founder of FrogCape, to unpack one incredible, goosebump-worthy story: the time he created a once-in-a-lifetime moment with Garth Brooks for a team member—and how that single gesture reveals the hidden systems behind powerful employee engagement.

But this isn’t just a heartwarming tale. It’s a blueprint.

Scott’s journey from managing concerts for legends like Paul McCartney and Elton John to helping businesses scale their culture with his CARE Framework (Culture, Alignment, Relationships, Empathy) is a lesson in automating what matters most—human connection.

You’ll discover:

• How to systemize employee engagement without losing authenticity
• Why your best culture wins may never show up on a spreadsheet—but will drive referrals for years
• How small, intentional gestures become repeatable systems for loyalty
• Why swag doesn’t work—and what employees really crave instead
• The unexpected power of knowing your team's favorite restaurant or song
• How to use emotional intelligence as a business automation tool
• And why moments, not money, turn teams into superfans

Scott shares how simple tools like an employee interest form or personalized thank-you can scale appreciation, align culture, and free up leadership time—without sacrificing soul.

Whether you're a founder, team leader, or culture champion, this episode will challenge you to rethink automation as more than tech—and embrace it as a way to make every stakeholder feel seen, heard, and valued.

Tune in now to hear how a Garth Brooks moment became a masterclass in building Superfans—one act of care at a time.
