Gerren Sprauve is originally from the United States Virgin Islands. For much of his life Gerren has been an ambassador for others, always looking out for those in need, less fortunate, etc. Gerren has always simply wanted to do good. Due to choices made, experiences had and the ultimate labels he placed on them in his mind, he struggled to value himself. And like many of us out there, Gerren decided to build a business to mask much of what was going on on the inside. The industry he chose. The name of his business. They all pointed to something he was experiencing and after, but he ran, hoping to do good vs find the good within. Life has changed for Gerren, now that he's surrendered to doing the personal work necessary to help him experience the good that was always there.Where to find Gerren SprauveWebsite: https://www.cleanslatejan.com/ Instagram: gerrensprauveFacebook: Gerren SprauveLinkedIn: Gerren SprauveYoutube: Gerren SprauveAmazon: Fast Track Your Calling: How to Fuel Your Drive with Every AssignmentSPONSORThis episode is sponsored by Entire Productions- Creating events (both in-person and virtual) that don't suck! and Entire Productions Marketing- carefully curated premium gifting and branded promo items.

Brandon Hatton began his career in the financial services industry, working tirelessly for one of the world's largest investment and wealth management firms, Merrill Lynch. However, he soon realized that his fixation on creating wealth had destroyed his health, relationships and sense of self. He knew that, for many like him, in the quest to have ‘enough', people often fail to realize that they are enough. Brandon became determined to find a win-win approach to wealth management in order to help people thrive in the broader sense of the term. As such, he began to pivot from traditional wealth management to a more conscious approach. Brandon founded Conscious Wealth® to provide a framework around money that allows people to focus on what matters: a life of growth and fulfillment, rather than a life of endless desire and insecurity.Where to find Brandon HattonWebsite: https://brandonhatton.comInstagram: @brandonthattonTwitter: @brandonthattonLinkedIn: Brandon HattonSPONSORThis episode is sponsored by Entire Productions- Creating events (both in-person and virtual) that don't suck! and Entire Productions Marketing- carefully curated premium gifting and branded promo items.

Chip Conley joined the tiny tech start-up Airbnb nearly a decade ago after a successful career as a boutique hotel company founder and CEO. He was twice the age of the average Airbnb employee which earned him the title "Airbnb's Modern Elder" who was as curious as he was wise. As the internal mentor to the young Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky, Chip got to see the value of intergenerational collaboration in a company that has now grown to be the most valuable hospitality company in the world. His bestselling book "Wisdom@Work: The Making of a Modern Elder" is a testament to rethinking the value of having 5 generations in the workplace and why more companies are doing their best to encourage their older workers to stay in the workplace longer.

Craig Swanson can pull back the veil of wizardry on founding CreativeLive as well as partnering to push course creators like Sue Bryce, Susan Stripling, and Kaisa Keranen to the multi-million dollar mark, and even acquisition.A couple particular anecdotes that he could cover:Listening as a Superpower to Scale – with KaisaFit, Craig learned that listening is truly your biggest superpower to scale a business. When you implement a strategy that gathers massive amounts of feedback from your customers, they are essentially handing you the keys to growth. He could break down how he helped sell $1,135,812 of KaisaFits' $29 Mobility Program in 18 months for your listeners; walking them through their aggressive review strategy, learnings from a 0.8% refund rate, and pricing considerations.How to Scale Without Swelling – When Craig and the team at Sue Bryce Education underwent due diligence for acquisition, they failed (the first time). The standout criticism was that they weren't preparing the business to run without the flagship founder, Sue Bryce. Instead, they were adding complexity that required critical participation from her and leadership. Craig would love to help your listeners learn from this case, and his time growing CreativeLive, to share how entrepreneurs can scale without swelling, building a business that lifts weight from the original founder(s).Where to find Craig SwansonWebsite: https://craigswanson.org/ | https://www.creativelive.comLinkedIn: Craig SwansonTech slackklaviyo.com (email marketing)metorik.com (sales dashboard + analytics)boast.io (video testimonials)relayfi.com (online banking)motionmailapp.com (email countdown timers)SPONSORThis episode is sponsored by Entire Productions- Creating events (both in-person and virtual) that don't suck! and Entire Productions Marketing- carefully curated premium gifting and branded promo items.

Dom is an entrepreneur, food personality, owner of the historic Cheese Store of Beverly Hills and the leading importer of premium Italian foods and specialty products in Los Angeles. Dom is a native New Yorker with a big personality and an even bigger appreciation for great Italian food passed down through generations of family recipes. It's this same love of food that he shares daily with the Los Angeles community - both with his customers at The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills and his vast network of top LA chefs that come to Dom for his pastas, sauces, tapenades, stuffed peppers, pestos and more, all sold under his Domenico's Foods brand (named after his grandfather). But his pathway to his current day success wasn't a totally smooth one. After graduating from USC in the late 90s, Dom took a job as an assistant with a big LA public relations agency (a job he admittedly was not cut out for) while also working in the butcher department of Bristol Farms on weekends for minimum wage. After departing the agency, Dom eventually landed his first real food industry job at The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills, one of the first bona fide cheese stores in the country, where he traveled to and from by bus (lacking the money for a car). Over the next 20 years working at the Cheese Store of Beverly Hills (which he now owns after purchasing it in 2022 from his mentor and the Store's previous owner of 44 years), Dom not only became one of the city's foremost authorities on cheese; it's also where he met and proposed to his wife and launched his successful Domenico's Foods brand, which started with the sale of his sun-dried tomatoes, based on a family recipe handed down for generations, at the Cheese Store. Dom is also the leading importer of Italian gourmet products in Los Angeles (he personally visits Italy to curate food products from small producers who make exceptional products not widely available in the United States). He consults and maintains relationships with some of the top food purveyors, restaurants and chefs in the world, continually creating and searching for new and interesting products to introduce to his customers.Where to find Dom DiBartolomeoWebsite: www.domsfoods.comInstagram: @domsfoodsSPONSORThis episode is sponsored by Entire Productions- Creating events (both in-person and virtual) that don't suck! and Entire Productions Marketing- carefully curated premium gifting and branded promo items.

Hi, I'm Susan, CEO and Leadership CoachChange can be scary. Or it can be an opportunity. The enlightened leader capitalizes on opportunities in a way that serves humanity.My mission is to help visionary leaders find their path to Enlightened Leadership – their unique leadership growth path and the blind spots that could get in the way.Sometimes, that means making a radical, necessary change that others may view as “crazy.”For me, this moment of radical change happened at age 30, when I decided to take a hiatus from my corporate career to get a Master's degree in acting from the London School of Music and Dramatic Arts.Here I was, a graduate from Harvard Law School, with a successful career in business, having worked for companies like GE/NBC, and I hit pause on my momentum to pursue… an advanced degree in acting?I didn't know what lay ahead of me, but I followed my gut anyway (despite plenty of people telling me I was crazy).It turned out to be one of the best career moves I've ever made. Because it gave me the tools to help leaders make a meaningful difference in the world.I learned fundamental lessons about authenticity, being present, connecting with others, and dealing with your inner critic.Eventually, these lessons gave me a unique take on how to be an effective leader.And as a result, these lessons led me to a coaching path, working with billionaire CEOs, prominent Fortune 50 executive teams, and incredible entrepreneurs who set out to disrupt their marketplace.Bottom line?My most radical decisions helped me become someone who can coach others to make their own gutsy (but crucial) decisions.Where to find Suzan DrummWebsite: www.susandrumm.comInstagram: @drummleadershipFacebook: Meritage Effective LeadershipTwitter: @drummleadershipYoutube: Enlightened Executive with Susan DrummLinkedIn: Susan DrummSPONSORThis episode is sponsored by Entire Productions- Creating events (both in-person and virtual) that don't suck! and Entire Productions Marketing- carefully curated premium gifting and branded promo items.

Edgar Blazona is a modernist American furniture designer and founder of wildly popular DTC sofa brand BenchMade Modern. A high school dropout, turned graffiti artist, turned serial entrepreneur, Edgar got his start in the furniture industry because of need: he was young and broke, and his first apartment didn't have any furniture. Thus, he taught himself how to build some.Along with starting several (!) of his own companies, including Modular Dwellings – a prefab backyard shelter company, Edgar also sharpened his skills in the corporate world at Pottery Barn and Restoration Hardware. As he saw customers accustomed to waiting three months (and more!) for sofas and sectionals that realistically take only a few weeks to make, he realized there must be a better way and founded BenchMade Modern in 2015 to disrupt this norm.BenchMade Modern offers sofas and sectionals in 5” increments and custom configurations, depths, fabrics and more. Custom furniture arrives at your doorstep within weeks, not months.Where to find Edgar BlazonaWebsite: benchmademodern.comFacebook: BenchMade ModernLinkedIn: Edgar BlazonaSPONSORThis episode is sponsored by Entire Productions- Creating events (both in-person and virtual) that don't suck! and Entire Productions Marketing- carefully curated premium gifting and branded promo items.

As Founder and CEO of Alexander Daas, Alex Feldman drives the vision and growth of the brand, including its design and distribution, retail presence and ecommerce business. Feldman grew up in the business of opticianry, with his parents owning a small optical shop in San Francisco, California. In 2006 Feldman bought out his parent's small business and began growing the company. After over a decade of working on the sales floor and styling thousands of politicians, athletes, celebrities, locals and more, Feldman found a gap in high-end eyewear and launched his eyewear brand Alexander Daas. The collection focused on styles to fit narrow/petite faces––giving adults freedom from buying children's frames––a huge unmet need in independent luxury eyewear. Since then, he has grown retail operations with storefronts in San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego, and recently online at https://alexanderdaas.com/ (AlexanderDaas.com.) Feldman continues to build on his vision of opening luxury shops in quaint neighborhoods that feature skilled eyewear stylists, representing a true intersection of the medical and fashion industries. Feldman graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara with a Bachelor of Science in Biopsychology. When he's not designing and developing new eyewear styles or connecting with the luxury eyewear community, you can find him spending time with his wife and three boys (their so called in-house “basketball team”), watching Rocky and traveling.

In 2011, I suffered a severe injury. I tore a pectoral muscle while bench pressing. I was shocked and angry at myself. Why, 7 years after college sports, was I lifting heavy weights? Now, as an instructor pilot in the Navy, I couldn't fly, I couldn't workout, and I had a painful surgery and long recovery ahead. I was consumed with sadness and self-loathing. Leading up to this incident, I was a skeptic. I'd roll my eyes at stories of silver linings and turning lemons to lemonade. Sure, there might be some good outcomes from a 'positive mental attitude,' but not in most cases. My first reaction was to dwell on my misery and irresponsibility. But I had an entrepreneurial itch. Was this the best opportunity to take a shot at creating something with energy, inspiration, and purpose? During my Naval career, jumping rope became my favorite fitness tool. It was portable for all my traveling and always a fun challenge compared to boring cardio routines. Even better - I discovered weighted ropes. An amazing workout I didn't know existed. The ones I used broke due to terrible designs, but a seed was planted. What about a Cross-training jump rope? Amazing quality with ropes that can be swapped to provide an awesome variety of jump rope fitness experiences ... 'Crossrope.' I didn't have any business or fitness industry experience. Just a library card and determination. Many founders are touted as visionaries who saw the future and took bold action. I laugh because my experience has been the opposite. I began fearful of failure, but now Crossrope has far eclipsed what I could have imagined. That is a testament to the incredible team we've built that brings energy, talent, and purpose. Crossrope is definitely a different way to find joy in getting healthy and staying fit. Though there are many influences shaping our culture, but I love our core value of striving for continuous improvement. We bring enthusiastic efforts to employee experience, customer experience, and product development, synthesizing internal innovative ideas with customer feedback. It's been incredible to see the life-changing experience shares of our customers, the successes of our team, and momentum of Crossrope. I'm filled with gratitude every day and excited for the path we're on. If the idea of striving to become world-class at what you do in support of a mission to bring joy, confidence, and inspiration through jump rope fitness sounds interesting, take a look at our job openings or shoot me a note. We're excited to continue building an amazing team!
