Mark Alkins can break down a race before the gun even goes off. It’s the same instinct he brings to research.
 
He’s spent most of his life training for pressure: a sub-five-minute mile in middle school, crushing the 800 through high school and college, and winning an ACC Indoor Championship with UNC. Two years into his career as a Research Manager at The Link Group, he says the hardest part was never the part people can see.
 
In this episode of Connection Point, host Jeff Whiteside talks with Mark about what actually makes racing hard, why he still coaches track at his old high school, and how the lessons from running a relay show up now on a project team.
 
Turns out the real race happens somewhere you can’t clock it.

Jeff Whiteside has spent sixteen years doing market research and just as many summers standing over a smoker.

In Episode 3 of Connection Point, he talks about the three “spices” every research project needs, and what happens when a team leaves one out.

Barbecue, craft, and unreasonable hospitality; this one’s about more than food.

Melia Whiteside can tell you the difference between a w**d and a wildflower. It’s the same instinct she uses to spot bad data.
 
She’s led TLG’s recruiting efforts for years and has built her career around segmentation, one of the sharper edges of quantitative research. Off the clock, she gardens. And just like good research, it’s far more complicated than it looks.
 
In this episode of Connection Point, she talks with Jessica Caffrey about what patience in a garden has in common with patience on a research project, why she’d rather be the one clearing the w**ds for everyone else, and what she hopes her legacy at The Link Group looks like.

18 years in, she’s still finding new things to learn.
