“The job for life has disappeared. With the pace of technology and the pace of change, you’ll have multiple career pivots throughout your life….”

Tune in to Beyond the Blue Badge, a podcast series produced by the Microsoft Alumni Network, featuring RedCloud’s Managing Partner Brett Alston with host Lora Peopping as they take listeners through tips on making successful career pivots to adapt to the times and needs of today. 

At RedCloud, community is everything. It’s one of our North Stars, and serves as a guiding value we keep close to our business in all we do. We believe our success is in part due to a healthy, vibrant community in which we operate, and a driver for why we partner with a group of organizations who help children in our region. ​

It’s no doubt that our world here at RedCloud – and frankly everywhere else – has been disrupted like nothing we’ve seen before by the spread of COVID-19 worldwide. Currently in a time of heightened personal and team safety, our consultants and headquarters staff are all working from home, balancing their dedication to family and friends with our collective responsibilities for our clients and peers at RedCloud. ​

Scott Morton has been part of the RedCloud team for several years, he's got a sense of humor and big personality, making him enjoyable for all to be around. He's the first to be  featured in this fun series.

What time does your alarm go off? Or do you even need one?
My 1970’s era AM/FM digital alarm clock that I have used since I was 9 years old goes off when it hits 7am. That means it goes off at 6:50 since I set my clock 10 minutes fast. Most days I don’t need an alarm clock and wake up by (the real) 7am. ​

RC: Briefly describe your new role and what you’re looking forward to about it?
KS: I joined RedCloud as an Account Development Manager which was a new position created for me.  During the hiring process, and later, after I joined, I was able to see for myself, RedCloud takes the time to meet and work with candidates and new employees, assessing their strengths and talents so they can find the right fit. I am looking forward to sharing RedCloud with more business leaders in the area and contributing to their growth and my growth along the way.

​RedCloud’s annual Summer Family and Friends BBQ was held on Tuesday, July 23 at the Novelty Hill Januik Winery. Novelty Hill Januik is a top-rated Washington winery and it was the perfect spot to unwind and celebrate the mid-year mark of 2019 as a team with those that support us along the way.
