Understanding and staying true to your core values is crucial for a successful company. These values shape your company's culture, which is vital for attracting and retaining employees, boosting productivity, and simplifying the hiring process.
To really make your company's core values come to life, you have to ingrain them into everything you do. Get your team excited about living those values every day. Talk about them, shout them out when someone nails it, and lead by showing how it's done. That's how you turn values from words on paper into a living, breathing part of your company culture.
Cody Sutton, CEO of Guide Energy, exemplifies this. Despite being in an industry known for high turnover, his company has retained almost all its employees since its start in 2019. Cody faced the daunting challenge of surviving the Covid-19 pandemic as a young entrepreneur. Amidst building his infrastructure and client base, all oil and gas activity ceased in Oklahoma. He pivoted, entering new markets, manufacturing unfamiliar products, and connecting with new clients. Despite the adversity, he persevered, returning to his niche and experiencing steady growth thereafter.
Let's learn from Cody how he:
- Transitioned from annual to quarterly goal-setting.
- Implemented routine systems for communication through weekly and monthly updates, enhanced team collaboration, and goal alignment.
- Focused on quarterly goal setting led to significant growth, with the company expanding by 400% year over year.
- During challenging times, pivoted the company's focus and product offerings, demonstrating resilience and innovation in response to market demands.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
