Welcome to a special episode of Torsion Talk, hosted by Ryan Lucia. Today marks a significant moment as we bid farewell to Tamara, the Chief Operating Officer of Garage Door University (GDU), on her last podcast. Tamara is embarking on a new journey, joining her family's business as the Vice President of Operations, where she'll be overseeing cleanup efforts alongside her husband, who handles production and administration.
In this heartfelt episode, Ryan expresses the bittersweet emotions of losing a longtime collaborator. He acknowledges Tamara's profound impact on the garage door industry and GDU, emphasizing the importance of hiring great people, fostering strong relationships, and recognizing that some connections are only meant for a season.
Tamara, who started as a virtual assistant (VA) with Ryan, reflects on the fulfillment and lifelong friendships she gained during her time at GDU. Despite the excitement of her new role, Tamara acknowledges the pressure to ensure GDU's continued success and her deep emotional connection to the team. She shares her commitment to implementing systems, processes, accountability, and financial order—lessons learned from her tenure in the garage door industry.
Ryan introduces Jen, who will be stepping into Tamara's shoes. Having known Jen since 2016, Ryan highlights her background as a business development representative at BELAY, where she engaged with entrepreneurs and gained valuable insights into their businesses. The episode comes full circle as Jen and Ryan reconnect through We Recruit Well, showcasing the intertwined paths of their professional journeys.
In a heartfelt farewell, Ryan expresses gratitude to Tamara for her remarkable contributions to GDU and working alongside him. As Tamara embarks on her new venture, the episode serves as a celebration of growth, change, and the enduring impact of collaboration within the Garage Door University community.
