    In this episode, I talk with Sal Tirabassi of CFO Pro Analytics about how he got his start in business, lessons he has learned along the way, and helpful financial data that all entrepreneurs need to be paying better attention to in their businesses.  Sal is a seasoned CFO and also brings a 15-year background as a partner in growth equity and venture capital funds. As a Fractional CFO, he brings a comprehensive background in financial strategy, financial modeling, analytics, data science, and capital raising. Over the course of twenty years, he has developed world-class expertise in strategic forecasting and capital management, significantly enhancing the financial operations of businesses he partners with. He is committed to providing actionable strategies and insights, aiming to guide businesses toward both short-term and long-term success. As a tenured CFO, Salvatore has driven transformative financial leadership, steering companies through periods of substantial growth and change. His strategic financial planning has paved the way for overall stability and led to wide-ranging operational improvements. Salvatore is also known for his forecasting services, which are underscored by a remarkable accuracy rate. For owners of cash-flowing businesses, Salvatore has direct experience structuring tax-advantageous structures such as captive insurance programs, state tax credits, and Employee Stock Ownership Programs. Working closely with a client, he details the strengths and weaknesses of each initiative, so that it is easy to understand how they fit into a company's unique strategic planning, profitability, and cash flow objectives. Beyond his work as a CFO, Salvatore also has a fifteen-year background as a venture capital and private equity investor, giving him a deep understanding of investment strategies and the cultivation of value in a variety of market sectors. He has sat as a key member on several boards of directors, handling audits, restructurings, and acquisitions. Over the course of his career, he has successfully facilitated over $400 million in equity and debt fundraising, which has proven critical for companies' expansion and recapitalization efforts. His experience in mergers and acquisitions includes the strategic purchase and sale of 12 companies, processes that have included value creation and transaction management. As a supplement to his Fractional CFO and investor roles, Salvatore serves as an advisor and executive coach, offering guidance in analytical decision-making, strategic planning, and professional development. His academic background includes an MBA from the Wharton School where he graduated with Palmer Scholar honors and a MSE in Telecommunications and Networking Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania.

    In this episode, I share several little known stories I learned from reading and studying about the life of Theodor Seuss Geisel or Dr. Seuss as he is known to millions around the world. I recently finished an excellent biography by Brian Jay Jones entitled Becoming Dr. Seuss: Theodor Geisel and the Making of an American Imagination. This book is an incredible look inside the life of a fascinating individual who defined the reading of children over the years as he wrote and illustrated classics such as The Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham, Horton Hears a Who and How the Grinch Stole Christmas. “At the time of his death, Dr. Seuss had published forty-eight books in more than twenty languages….” (Becoming Dr. Seuss, p. 428) and had sold more than 600 million copies of books. His books were adapted into 11 television specials, five feature films, a Broadway musical and four television series. It wasn’t always apparent that Geisel would be a best-selling author and in this episode, I share how he got his start and how he persisted for nearly twenty years before he had a big hit with his book The Cat in the Hat.

    Lessons on Success and Failure from Acting Legend Kirk Douglas

    Play Episode Listen Later Jan 21, 2021 10:50


    In this episode, I discuss lessons on success and failure that I've learned from studying the life of movie star and acting legend Kirk Douglas. Kirk Douglas was born Issur Danielovitch on December 9, 1916. He had an impoverished childhood with immigrant parents and six sisters, but was able to break through with hard work with a brief start on Broadway. His father was abusive and an alcoholic. He had more than forty jobs before he became an actor and starred in 95 different acting roles throughout his career. I grew up watching many of his westerns and films and enjoyed his devotion to making such entertaining productions. He made many mistakes throughout his life with affairs and bad business decisions, but lived a long and full life even after he had a severe stroke in 1996. He wrote a book about his experiences called My Stroke of Luck to help others know how to treat those with family members who suffered from a stroke. He lived another 24 years after this stroke and learned how to speak again. He is buried next to his youngest son Eric who died from an overdose of alcohol and drugs in 2004. There will likely never be another actor quite like him who was so prolific or who was instrumental in changing the studio system by setting up his own production company. I am one who has enjoyed learning from his life and who has enjoyed many of his films. I hope you enjoy these stories and lessons from his life.

At 25 years old, and using the same systems she teaches, she built a business from scratch in less than five months to replace her full-time income and walked away from her corporate job to run her own company dedicated to disrupting the way the world goes into business through sales, marketing & systems. At 26 years old, she published her first book, Friend Power: How the Friends You Choose Can Change Your Life and began co-hosting the BlogTalkRadio phenomenon Black Belt Selling along-side her business-partner and mother Anna Scheller. One year later she published her second book, Getting Past the Gatekeeper, which was also immediately a best-selling publication.

    Guinness World Record Holder for the longest solo row across the Pacific Ocean Jacob Adoram Hendrickson is an inspiring individual. He planned and completed an eleven month journey from Washington state across the Pacific Ocean to Australia in his custom designed rowboat Emerson. In this interview, he shares his story about how he accomplished such a remarkable goal. He is an Eagle Scout who spent his high school years running track and cross-country, and playing the saxophone in both marching and symphonic band.  He attended the United States Air Force Academy and spent more than a decade as a military aviator, flying fighter jets extensively throughout the Northern Hemisphere, to include over 170 combat missions.  As part of military training, he became very familiar with land and water survival, and enjoyed the challenges associated with overcoming adversity.  An avid traveler, Jacob has explored over 40 countries. He holds the world record for the longest non-stop time spent rowing solo across an ocean of nearly 336 days. He spent eleven months traveling from Washington state to Australia in a custom made boat he called Emerson. He started on July 7, 2018 and arrived in Queensland, Australia the following June (June 8, 2019). He packed a year worth of food into the boat and spent a lot of time thinking and rowing. He rowed 12 to 16 hours every day and traveled 7,145 miles across the open Pacific Ocean. He encountered waves that were the size of buildings, the monotony of rowing day after day for months, the pain and exhaustion of rowing to get back on track when the wind, storms, and rain drove him off course. He spent 11 months at sea without stopping, without assistance, with no other person with him at all, as far from land as it is possible to be on this planet. It’s an incredible story and I’m glad that he has taken a few minutes to share his experience and the lessons he learned from it. I’ve been inspired by his story and I hope you enjoy our conversation as you think about accomplishing your own goals.
