The Owners' Manual | Issue 14 | Fall/Winter 2018

(lots of Law and Order).

When did you join BL Companies? I started at BL on August 2nd, 2018. What made you decide to work at BL Companies? The growth mindset and commitment to the internal stakeholders as much as clients. What is a “day in the life” of Bret look like for you at BL Companies? Depending on the day it is a combination of reviewing applications that have come in, supporting hiring managers with applicants who are already in the process of interviewing, sourcing new candidates, and reaching out to potential applicants. What did you want to be when you grow up? I wanted to be Jack McCoy

When you have 30 minutes of free-time, how do you pass the time? Playing with my kids (20 months – Sabine; 5 1/2 years - Beatrix). What type of music do you like? On rotation in my car is Phoenix, CCR or the genre of “Dad Rap” (as I recently found out it is called) but realistically, more often than not I am listening to Disney music. When driving, safely of course, what do you like to listen to? Recently I’ve been listening to a lot of podcasts (when not Disney Music – see above) – Revisionist History

is the one I have been listening to the whole backlog.
