Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Don Barden, Ph.D., CEO, Perfect Plan Consulting
Q: What executive development activity keeps your brain sharp and your leadership edges honed?
I maintain a disciplined morning routine—workout at 5 a.m., daily learning through documentaries or books, and using that time to learn about industries beyond my current focus—so my brain stays active and adaptable for new challenges.
Don Barden, Ph.D., CEO, Perfect Plan Consulting
Q: What career and life advice would you give to someone that's got their eyes on their own corner office someday?
Be patient and be kind, because there are infinite paths to destiny; make two-minute decisions thoughtfully, continuously put in the work, and stay open to diverse experiences. Your path may include many roles beyond finance or entrepreneurship, but staying curious and focused on learning will eventually lead you to leadership opportunities.
Corey Morris, CEO, VOLTAGE
Q: What career advice would you give someone aiming for a corner office?
Know your tenure plan and map out 3, 5, and 10‑year goals with mentors who have done it; be proactive about ownership opportunities and align your path with the right people and problems to solve.
Corey Morris, CEO, VOLTAGE
Q: Why did you leave Voltage and what brought you back?
I pursued new leadership opportunities and the chance to build a digital team elsewhere, but the pull back to Voltage came from the owners' interest in succession planning and the fit I found back with the team, ultimately leading to a broader leadership role and ownership discussions.
Corey Morris, CEO, VOLTAGE
Q: What attracted you to digital marketing and SEO early in your career?
Networking through a mentor at a local agency, shadowing opportunities, and a front‑row seat to the evolving digital landscape convinced me to pursue SEO, paid search, and ultimately broader digital marketing capabilities.
