For What’s Next: A Week in Texas

Ryan and I traveled to Texas for Bryant’s first-ever Factory Authorized Dealer National Meeting—a few days filled with training, inspiration and plenty of HVAC talk. We came home with new ideas, a Circle of Champions honor and a goal for Jodway.

In April, Ryan and I packed our bags and headed to Texas for the first-ever Bryant Factory Authorized Dealer National Meeting — which also happened to be the first trip to Texas for both of us!

The theme of the week was “For What’s Next,” and it felt especially fitting. Our days were filled with presentations, conversations with other Bryant dealers from across the country, and training classes that gave both Ryan and me plenty of ideas to bring back home to Jodway.

One of my favorite things about meetings like this is simply being surrounded by people who are passionate about what they do. There’s something energizing about spending a few days learning, sharing ideas and hearing how other businesses are growing and serving their customers. I always come home ready to hit the ground running.

The week wrapped up with a beautiful awards ceremony and reception, where Ryan and I had the honor of walking across the stage as Circle of Champions award winners. It was a pretty special moment for us and one we were very proud to represent our entire Jodway team for.

There was only one thing missing... red jackets!

Bryant has a longstanding tradition of presenting its signature red jackets to dealers who reach certain milestones and achievements. We didn’t come home with ours this time, but that just gives us something else to work toward. Earning those red jackets is officially one of our goals.

And, because apparently an HVAC meeting can also result in a new family member, there’s one more part of this trip I have to share.

Bryant reintroduced the Bryant Pup at the meeting — an adorable Boston Terrier — and I completely fell in love with the little guy they brought on stage. By the time Ryan and I got home from Texas, the puppy search had begun.

Not long after, we found Max, our own cuddly Boston Terrier.

So we came home from Texas with new ideas, new goals, a Circle of Champions award... and, indirectly, a new puppy.

I’d say it was a pretty memorable trip.

Stay cool. Stay cozy. Stay Jodway.
