RED BALLOON - Andrew Crapuchettes

RED BALLOON

Andrew Crapuchettes 

In 2021, in the midst of the “cancel culture” boom, many companies decided to waive the white flag of surrender and forsake the values, the Biblical morality and just accept the policies and mandates being forced upon them.  

We had just began the process of coming out of COVID. We were trying to get the economy back. Many people just wanted to return to work. Then we have this wave of idiocy that says if you believe in Godly principles – you’re wrong. If you believe in traditional values – you’re wrong. If you believe anything except what “we say” – you’re wrong. 

That type of attitude still exists today. Although they have had to “calm down” their rhetoric, the same corrupt mentality is still prevalent in many organizations as they push their “woke agenda” as far as they can. 

Wouldn’t it be nice to work for an organization that you know, going in…that you know, when you apply…that you know, “this company” stands for what I believe in? Wouldn’t that be a good place to start when looking for a company to make a career change in your life? 

Back in 2021, Andrew Crapuchettes (kra-puh-shets) thought so. But, how to find companies like that? That was the problem.  But it’s not a problem anymore. 

Andrew founded “RedBalloon” which has quickly become America’s largest…largest connector between employers and employees looking to prioritize a positive workplace culture that is FREE from the divisiveness of the cancel-culture mandates. Amen!  Andrew is a frequent presenter at technology and business conferences and has been featured on Fox News, Fox Business, Newsweek, The New York Times and others. 

Help me welcome to the program, Andrew Crapuchettes!  Andrew, thank you for taking the time to join us today! 

The first question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Andrew Crapuchettes?” 

I guess the first question is, “Why?”  Why did you form Red Balloon? What were you seeing that motivated you to do this? 

You put right up front on your website, “What We Believe.” The very first statement is, “America was founded on the core principles of individual freedom and the personal responsibility necessary to maintain that freedom.”  Amen!  Praise God!  Share with us your core values of Red Balloon… 

What was the first rendition of Red Balloon like as compared to what you offer now? 

When I was going through your website, I seen positions that ranged from accountants to truck drivers; from pre-K teachers to insurance agents…you have a very thorough and rounded out platform with literally thousands of different positions, correct? 

Explain how your website works… for example, if I was looking for a job, what would I have to do? 

As an employer, you share that 46% of all new hires are bad hires.  Is it really almost half?  

You have a chart on your website that says, “Companies that actively engage have a clear advantage verses companies that have low engagement.” What do you mean by that? 

Andrew, this has been awesome. I believe you’re tapping into something that needs to happen. I believe the services you provide as a connector between like-minded believers that want to work for like-minded companies is awesome. 

If someone wants more information, would like to ask a question, etc., how can they do that?  How can someone get in touch with you? 

I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below. 

Folks, are you looking for a place to work, a place to establish roots, a place where you can find others that hold the same values and morals you do? A place where you don’t have to walk around on egg shells, worried you will offend someone if you say “Amen” or whatever? 

If you’re an employer and you want to find people who believe in the value systems you’ve established in your business; you’re looking for like-minded folks who believe like you do… 

I encourage you to drop down into the show notes and click the links right there. Get in touch with Andrew Crapuchettes (kra-puh-shets) right now… while you are thinking about this. Go to https://www.redballoon.work and check out the platform that Andrew and his team have put together. It could be the answer your prayers and the prayers of an employer looking for someone “just like you!” Amen! 

Drop down into the show notes, click the links and check it out, right now. Redballoon.work. Amen! 

Andrew, I saw a section on your front page that says, “It’s time to grow up and get back to work.” I think that pretty well sums up the feeling of most sane people right now. Amen.

About your host

Profile picture for Robert Thibodeau

Robert Thibodeau

I am a 12 year Army veteran as both enlisted and as a commissioned Cavalry Officer.
I am now a retired law enforcement supervisor...

I had my own business for seven years before I entered law enforcement.

As a cop, I was injured on the job on May 12, 2007 and after several surgeries over a couple of years, forced to retire in 2011.

As I was looking down the road to “what am I going to do next?” I started what is now known as a podcast (I had no clue at the time).

Within six months of starting (what I called) “My online radio program” I was offered an opportunity to be on nationwide AM radio. I learned A LOT in one year of doing that!

I then started the online Christian radio platform "Evangelism Radio" in the fall of 2010. It has had listeners in 160+ nations and all 50 states. We host 50+ Christian broadcasters on a weekly basis. We have been operating 24/7 for almost 14 years now. We have been rated #1 in the world by Shoutcast. com on several occasions in our genre. We recently transferred ownership of Evangelism Radio to another ministry so I could concentrate full time on podcasting, preaching and writing.

In 2018, I started the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast to conduct interviews with Christian influencers from all walks of life and to play their interviews on the radio station. (The KCR Podcast has its own time slot on Evangelism Radio)!
We now have over 1600 episodes and almost 1100 interviews (in just over 6 years).

Looking out at the future of online Christian media, I noticed there was no viable platforms that catered only to the Christian podcast market.

In 2023, we launched a networking platform called, "FaithCasters" which connects "Great Christian podcasters with Great Christian Guests!" This helps to promote the work you do through podcast interviews! Check it out at https://FaithCaster.org

We recently launched "FaithCaster Academy" which serves as a training hub for ALL of our trainings (podcast training / speaker training / interview training, etc.). Members receive access to ALL of our training programs for one low, monthly membership fee. Members also receive FREE access to ALL of the LIVE trainings I conduct (1 or 2 per month) - while non-members have to pay to access the live trainings.

Between my podcast training program, conducting podcast interviews, appearing on other podcasts as guests, speaking at conferences (in person and virtually) and the podcast networking platform, I guess you could say “I’m all in” when it comes to podcasting and online media!

My total focus is to do all we can to assist you to “Get The Word Out” about your mission, services, products, ministry, books, business, etc.
