"Data and AI can increase risk taking" Tobias Queisser   In this episode we are joined by Tobias Queisser, co-founder and CEO of Cinelytic, the AI-powered platform designed to optimise decision-making across film production and distribution. As perhaps the most controversial - and misunderstood - topic in film and entertainment at this time, AI is often portrayed as a creative destructor but Tobias shares why he believes the technology will actually unlock greater risk taking in the filmmaking process.   In the conversation, Tobias discusses the genesis of CineLytic, the pain points in film production, the importance of data in decision-making, and how predictive models can enhance the success of films. Tobias and host Alex Stolz also discuss the evolving landscape of film distribution, focusing on the impact of streaming services and consumer preferences. They explore the importance of data analytics in understanding audience behavior and making informed decisions across the whole film lifecycle. Tobias and Alex also touch on the role of AI in the industry as a whole, addressing misunderstandings and its potential to enhance creativity and economic viability. Finally, they look ahead to future innovations in film technology, with Tobias advocating for a more data-driven approach in filmmaking.     About Tobias Queisser Tobias is Co-Founder and CEO of Cinelytic. He has a strong background in finance, the entertainment industry and tech ventures. Prior to Cinelytic, Tobias worked for 10 years in finance as an investment banker, and later co-founded & managed a global investment fund in London. In 2013, he founded Arctic Pictures Limited, an international film production company. Tobias holds an MSc in Accounting & Finance from CASS.

“You can't manage people and lead them at the same time… You're managing a task. You're leading people”   Do you apply the same principles when running your recruitment firm? How do you develop leaders and managers to establish a succession plan when you are scaling it?   My special guest, Trey Hugley, shares his insights on fostering an environment in his recruitment business that not only grew his team in numbers but professionally as well. Trey is the President of Genesis Resources based in Dallas Forth Worth. Trey is a leader in executive search for the insurance industry, with over 28 years of experience.   Having launched and sold a recruiting firm, Trey founded Genesis Resources in 2004 with a commitment to bringing a consultative approach to recruitment. Trey also founded a sister business, Genesis Industries, in 2014, expanding consultancy practices into the Manufacturing, Engineering, Accounting & Finance, and Healthcare sectors.    Episode Outline and Highlights   [02:21] Trey's story from being a recruiter to starting his firm. [06:45] Sharing perspectives on how commitment and exclusivity work with client relationships. [19:54] Milestones in building an organization - how Trey built his team to 27 people. [33:09] How do you decide when you have to part ways with a team member? [46:56] Planning your brakes rather than it creeping up on you. [51:13] Developing business leaders and managers.   Scaling His Recruitment Firm Successfully A key achievement of Trey that I wanted to pick his brains on is how he progressed in building his business from just him to having 27 team members. “I could have made a lot more money over the last 15 years if I was just doing it on my own. Mine is an end game. If I build it, I think my mentality is a little different. I enjoy the concept of building. I like the idea of growing something.”   Trey shared his practices when looking for someone to join his team. He mentioned hiring competitive individuals, often with a background in team sports, who can thrive in a competitive environment. He stressed the importance of training and creating an environment where his staff can support and learn from each other. We covered two focus areas when scaling: taking responsibility and ownership for hiring decisions and training to ensure that the right people are in the right roles.    Deciding When to Let Go of a Team Member It can be challenging to let go of team members. A recruitment business owner could have invested so much time and resources in hiring and training, and the relationship built over time can make it difficult to let go.    Although difficult, Trey explained that it is part of scaling your business effectively, especially if the overall fit of your recruiter is not aligned with your organizational goals. He outlined the following objective factors that can help you decide when it is time to transition your team member to a new career:   1. If they're not meeting their metrics, like having consistent candidate or client conversations, it's a red flag.  2. Their ability to generate revenue is crucial; it's a concern if they're not producing at least $20,000 a month (in the case of Trey's organization).  3. Assessing their pending deals and interview activities can predict future performance; if these numbers are low, they indicate potential issues.  4. If they lack the drive and initiative to meet basic expectations consistently, it may be time to let go.   Trey ended it by saying,  “We'll, you know, we'll call it a career transition is what we call it. We're gonna transition you. If you can't succeed here, we don't think you're gonna be able to succeed in recruiting.”   Developing Leaders Engaging your staff and making them leaders is another achievement that Trey is proud of. He has not only grown his team in size, but he grew them professionally into team leaders and managers. He described his approach and mindset well, “There's a certain humility that comes with managing and, leadership, and I think those are two different, two completely different things. Management is the day-to-day, task-oriented. Have you met your numbers? Leading is, how do I make someone better? … But the concept is, you can't manage people and lead them at the same time. Right? You're managing a task. You're leading people, at least in my mind.”   One thing that Trey shared is fostering an environment where asking questions and continuous learning are supported. He said, “I think the biggest piece is that there is no dumb question. And those who are most inquisitive tend to grow quicker than the others in nurturing a lot of that.”   He also shared an integrated approach (egalitarian versus a top-down model), where his staff can always approach him for ideas, scenarios, and proposals. This is except for metrics and numbers, for which clear expectations are in place.   Aside from very competitive compensation, Trey also shared their setup for working onsite and working from home, which offers practical benefits to his employees.   Trey Hugley Bio and Contact Info   An Executive Leader in the Insurance Recruiting Field for over 28 years. Trey Hugley launched and sold a recruiting firm and then began building Genesis Resources in 2004 as the premier example of partnership in the industry. Launched as an Executive Search firm, Genesis quickly moved to a full-service recruiting organization focused on the recruitment of passive candidates for several of its premier clients in the insurance industry.     Trey graduated from Texas A&M University in 1994 with a Bachelor's Degree in English. Upon graduating, he began his career in Recruitment with a boutique recruiting firm out of college and a focus on multiple disciplines. Soon after, he joined his partner in a start-up dedicated solely to the property & casualty insurance industry. After 8 years, Trey sold to his partner to start a more consultative approach to recruitment; one that was more dedicated toward executive search methodologies with an overall consultative approach that highlighted his passion for successful recruitment and the improvement of individual careers.  In 2004, with a focus on “new beginnings” as the name Genesis implies, Trey launched his new company – Genesis Resources. Trey focused on integrating true consultation efforts into recruitment and building relationships with every professional with whom he interacted. Genesis Resources today focuses on passive candidate recruitment while staying at the forefront of the insurance industry.   Trey's career includes over twenty-nine years of furthering the careers of others. He has developed a variety of leaders and helped them grow to their full potential in the insurance industry. Not only has he achieved this externally, but his current employees have followed in his footsteps, and within a span of the last ten years, Genesis Resources now has several leaders and Executive Recruiters who elevate the careers of all those with whom they come in contact.   In 2014, several of Trey's HR leadership relationships moved outside the industry. Together, they built a recruitment offering that would highlight the best practices of Genesis Resources while focusing on several new industries; Genesis Industries was born. From a national project to building out an internal recruiting team, revamping an entire sales organization, and multiple other leadership placements along the way, Genesis Industries has become its own “go-to” consultative and recruiting firm with its staff of experts. Genesis Industries has a primary focus on Manufacturing, Engineering, Accounting & Finance, and Healthcare.   Trey on LinkedIn Genesis Resources website link Genesis Resources on Facebook   People and Resources Mentioned   Gail Audibert on LinkedIn Gerald Legrove on LinkedIn Joel Slenning on LinkedIn Chris DiNaso on LinkedIn   Related Podcast You Might Enjoy   TRR#171 4 Essential Skills that All Recruitment Business Owners Need to Be Successful, with Chris Dinaso Connect with Mark Whitby Get your FREE 30-minute strategy call Mark on LinkedIn Mark on Twitter: @MarkWhitby Mark on Facebook Mark on Instagram: @RecruitmentCoach Subscribe to The Resilient Recruiter If you've been enjoying the podcast, please take two minutes to leave a review.

We're all taking a deeper dive into what work looks like, and discovering that we can do business differently. There are ways that people can ask the probing questions that may not put somebody on the defensive. It takes confidence to ask questions because if you have someone that's afraid, no matter what the venue is, they're still going to be afraid to ask some questions. With the way the workplace is, we have to take some more risks as leaders. It takes years and a lot of work to develop a great company culture. It is important to handle problems as they arise otherwise they will explode. Commercial break There needed to be more books written by women on leadership on the shelves, whatever shelf it is. If this world is going to change, we have to give the up and coming generations the roadmap. The world is setting itself up where the younger generations are actually at the forefront making change. By writing this book, I wanted to share my journey and let people learn from my mistakes. I also wanted to teach people that when they are looking for their coaches or mentors, not everyone's a good fit. From the very beginning of my professional life, I had amazing men and women who guided me to my success. With Covid-19 pandemic, there was an increased level of focus again with being remote and it expanded a lot of possibilities for us. Sometimes something tragic can shake us all up and shock our potential to see what we're capable of. Miss Crab Apples came out of a Saturday night story to my granddaughter when she was six years old. I love to write for children because when you do that you just get to be in that incredible imagination game which is a great place to be. By putting more books like that out there, our grandkids get to have a chance to see what a good conversation is. Shake it off, be good to yourself, pat yourself on the back, and never ever give up. ………………………………………………… Do you want to be a go to expert that news reporters, anchors and media producers turn to?

Don't fear - this isn't an episode about accounting but rather how understanding some financial fundamentals can make you a far better marketer or growth professional. This is the point where marketing professional's career otherwise plateaus. If you've ever had trouble getting initiatives or projects approved, often it's not political. It's just that the business case is weak. So I thought that if we can understand how accountants and finance think - marketing and growth professionals will be able to get more projects they know are valuable to the business, approved. And as you'll find out, both camps think very, very differently. In fact they naturally clash in many core areas from mindset to through to general approach and responsibilities. So who better to speak with than Jason Andrew. He's a CA accountant, corporate finance qualified, business owner and marketer who has personally executed a lot of the marketing for his own businesses. What is accounting? How is it different to Finance? What numbers and metrics should we all understand before pursuing our growth-related projects. What hard lessons did he learn about marketing and growth on his entrepreneurial journey? Vice versa, what hard lessons should growth and marketing people learn about the accounting and finance profession? After this episode you'll see eye to eye and at the very least understand how both disciplines can work better together.

In this interview, my special guest Craig Paisley shares his secrets to billing close to 7-figures as a solo recruiter.  He finished the year on $950,000 to be exact. How was he able to accomplish this amazing feat? There were several factors, of course, but Craig believes that the biggest key to his success was his tech stack. In this episode, Craig reveals his preferred automation tools and how he leverages recruitment technology to fill jobs faster than his competitors. Craig started his recruitment business, Industrial Resource Group, in 2009. He specializes in recruiting for companies from the food and beverage manufacturing and distribution industries across the United States and Canada. In 2021, IRG was awarded 56th Forbes Best Recruiters – Professional Search. Episode Outline and Highlights [2:57] Craig shares how he got into recruiting and what inspired him to set up IRG. [6:43] Bravely setting out to start a new venture in the most challenging economic climate [9:19] How scaling down became a key to Craig's success  [15:42] Billing more while being solo with the help of an effective tech stack [17:18] Craig shares an overview of his tech stack (Bullhorn, Herefish, TextUs, Daxtra, 3DIQ) [21:10] Understanding Herefish and making the most of automation to save time and increase profits [26:25] How to choose an optimal tech platform [38:29] Craig breaks down his step-by-step sourcing process and typical turnaround time for vetting and submitting candidates. [41:20] Choose your clients wisely to enjoy success [47:31] The metrics simplified – Craig's system for self-management [52:08] Quality vs quantity – Craig explains why less is more in his business [53:22] Emphasizing the importance of working in a niche market Starting a Recruitment Firm During the Great Recession Prior to becoming a business owner, Craig was a successful full-desk recruiter with the same firm for 10 years and worked his way up to VP of Sales. When he eventually launched his own staffing firm in 2009, the timing wasn't ideal. When I asked how he survived the first 12 months as a new business during the great recession, Craig described it as “kind of fighting… you claw and you edge your way in any place that you can… it was tough, it was a grind, I just pounded the phones and I worked hard.  Any opportunity and position I got, I worked hard on it and luckily I was able to make placements and string enough together to where I sort of built up some momentum.” Leveraging Automation Tools Craig was able to make 2021 his best year yet in terms of personal production, just shy of one million dollars.  How did he do it? By leveraging automation tools. Some of the recruitment technology stack we discussed include: Bullhorn Herefish Textus Daxtra 3DIQ Craig reveals his exact system and end-to-end sourcing process. He's built a “candidate generation machine” that enables him to source, vet and submit candidates quickly and efficiently.  Even though the majority of his searches are contingent, he is able to outperform his competitors and win the day. Automating mundane tasks can be extremely profitable by saving time and increasing productivity. As Craig puts it, previously the majority of his phone calls were reaching out to candidates to try and talk to them about a position. Now the outreach part is automated and his phone calls are more focused on screening candidates, getting them prepared for interviews, and closing deals. Vetting Your Clients Well With the rising demands for candidates, how is IRG able to compete with other recruiting companies in such a tight job market with more openings than candidates available? Craig's secret is choosing their clients wisely. “I think I have more success because of where I am starting from. What I mean by that is if I partner with good companies that have good reputation, that have good positions with great opportunity of growth, good salary, bonuses, all that stuff, if I am going to the market with those kinds of positions, it is going to be easy for me to get more candidates.”  Our Sponsors This podcast is proudly sponsored by i-intro®.  i-intro® is an end-to-end retained recruitment platform.

Using Marketing to Find the Best Candidates and Fill More Jobs While talking about how Matt scaled his business, he mentioned that he invested in hiring two marketing people. You will hear in our conversation why this proved to be really valuable to successfully scale his business. He then shared his strategy on how he uses SEO and targeted marketing to get placeable candidates and great clients. This is how Matt described the impact, “I'm this tiny company that nobody ever heard of. Nobody's gonna go ‘Oh Blue Signal this, Blue Signal that', but if I go to CareerBuilder, or Monster, or LinkedIn and some of the others, boom! I'm at the top now. If I post it there everybody sees me. That's not only candidates but also hiring managers.” Matt also gave details on how they would target candidates for very specific roles using technology. Whenever a new search comes in, the marketing team works hand in hand with the recruiters to fill the job.  Listen as Matt describes the whole process and consider how these strategies can be applied to your recruitment business. Motivation to Becoming a Recruiter and Eventually Scaling His Business Back in 2016, Matt had a successful lifestyle business which meant he did not work too hard to make a living. So I had to ask, why complicate his life by taking on the massive challenge of hiring, managing, leading and training people? Matt shared motivations that really resonated with me.  He believes that there is a big void in recruitment and he is passionate about changing the reputation of recruiting. He also shared an analogy about planting a tree - when is the right time to start hiring and scaling his business? The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago, the second-best time is now. Matt also imparted a game-changing lesson that he learned from another guest we interviewed, Monte Merz. Hear this lesson that actually led to Matt successfully scaling his business and making his business life less stressful. Creating Awareness About Smith-Kingsmore Syndrome Right after Matt started hiring and growing, his youngest son was diagnosed with the Smith-Kingsmore Syndrome (SKS). This was an extremely difficult and challenging time for Matt but also led him to empower and trust his team more than ever, so he could focus on his family.  This leadership philosophy turned out to be one of the success factors that's had a positive impact on the growth of Blue Signal. If you wish to learn more about SKS and would like to help, visit the Smith-Kingsmore Syndrome Foundation website link below.

Episode #13 Are you aware of the common mistakes job seekers make? What steps have you taken in your consideration of a career change?

Episode 29 Esmeralda discusses Accounting and Finance involving Starbucks, Tesla, Elon Musk and the Stock Market.

Students, how do you define your own path? How do you differentiate yourself? How do you create impact and effect change when you’re only just a student?  In this episode with special guests, Blessing Adogame, Michael Amoako, and Sevri Sovian, we answer all these questions and more. The reality is that “being just a student” is a social construct and mindset that constrains your potential. And though being a student may be an integral part of who your identity and associated with your innate curiosity, it does not fully encompass who you are. Cognizant of this, Blessing, Michael, and Sevri share how they break down this barrier, and in fact, leverage their position as students to thrive as young professionals and beyond.  This episode is part 1 to a Rise Regardless series called, “So You Think You’re Just a Student? Think Again.” The full episodes with each of these brilliant individuals will be released separately soon, so make sure to follow and subscribe to get notified when they’re out. In the meantime, you can connect and learn more about Blessing, Michael, and Sevri via LinkedIn: Blessing: https://www.linkedin.com/in/blessingadogame/ Michael: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-amoako-71b449113/ Sevri: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sevri/ More about our featured guests: Blessing Adogame is pursuing a BS in Information Systems, with minors in Security Technology and Business Administration at Drexel University. She is a community leader, woman in tech, co-founder of "Students of LinkedIn”, and global citizen who has lived in Nigeria, Germany, Scotland, and now, the US. Blessing is a vehement believer in the power of storytelling. She believes that stories and experiences pave the path that enhances a person's voice. She aspires to create a space, not only where she can continue to help other students around the world, but also where students can help students, ultimately creating a synergistic movement and mindset.  Michael Amoako is a recent graduate from MIT with a major in Business Management and minors in Computer Science and Mathematics. He is originally from Teaneck, NJ but grew up in a household with two Ghanaian parents. After MIT, Michael will be working as a PM at Microsoft in their two year AI Rotation Program in which he will seek to empower other teams at Microsoft using AI solutions. Michael plans to partake in Harvard Business School's MS/MBA program after his two years at Microsoft. His ultimate goal is to empower entrepreneurs who seek to make a positive impact on society and have strong interests in both social impact and technology-related entrepreneurship. Michael firmly believes in the value of mentorship and feels that a community will reach its full potential when those with desired experience and knowledge serve as mentors to others.  Sevri Sovian is an Emerging Solutions Engineer at Salesforce in Melbourne, Australia and has a Bachelors in Accounting & Finance and Master in Management. Having made his first foray into the tech industry as a product specialist at Apple, Sevri has since been devoted to helping others seize opportunities that are outside of the traditional business student trajectory by venturing out into fields such as tech. In doing so, he encourages students to leverage LinkedIn as he tells stories through video content.

In Part One we discussed Controls, Operations and Accounting/Finance. Listen HERE (https://remarkableresults.biz/a044/) . The Academy Panel: Ron Inchausti always had entrepreneurial ideas since childhood, but lacked goal setting to implement these ideas. He started his automotive career like most, working for someone else. He never considered, or saw the need, to start his own company. This young, eager mechanic had a special passion fueled by providing quality service with a thoughtful approach to the customers’ needs. Ron recognized that the customer was inconvenienced by a car problem, but he knew he could do more than just fix the car. He worked his way through several independent shops realizing that in order to fulfill his needs, he would need to work for a dealership. Isn’t this the pinnacle of quality service and customer satisfaction? It took less than 2 years for Ron to realize that the dealership did not share his visions of what the automotive service industry should represent. In 2005 Ron was approached with the opportunity to take over a failing business. The reasons for failure were clear to Ron, and he knew he could build the service experience customers did not know existed. Ron didn’t see the need for a formal business plan or investors. He started Coast Motor Werk with excess passion for a simple goal. This goal would later ignite him as a serial entrepreneur. He set his goals on providing the highest level of service to a very niche market. He opened his first shop in 2005 along the coast of Southern California. The odds were against him as he immediately narrowed his geographical footprint, as half of his customers could not reside in the Pacific Ocean. To narrow his customer base even more, he chose to work solely on BMW and MINI’s. Taking it a step further, Ron created what he refers to as his “cardboard cutout”. This “cardboard cutout” philosophy of his revolved around his belief that he did not want to get in to the business of fixing cars, but rather into the business of fixing customers. By narrowing his customer base, he could focus his excellent service on excellent customers. Ron shares, “Anyone can fix cars. That’s why I focus my business on fixing customers’ problems. Auto repair can be inconvenient, but the repair process shouldn’t be.” It is clear that Ron’s success is due to realizing who your ideal customer is and what their needs are. By modeling his business around this philosophy Coast Motor Werk has met, and exceeded, it’s original goal. To maintain growth, Ron is constantly setting new goals as each milestone is reached. He feels without a well-defined goal to reach, he has nothing to work towards. After his first shop had proven the potential of his business model, a new goal would be set. As he has nearly accomplished this second goal of expanding his brand to 5 locations (currently sitting at 4), Ron is already working on what his next goal will be. Listen to Ron Inchausti’s previous episodes (https://remarkableresults.biz/?s=%22Ron+Inchausti%22) .   Brian Weeks is a third generation shop owner that teamed up with his brother Chris in 1999 and bought the family transmission business that was owned by his father and two uncles. Brian and Chris transformed the business into a full-service automotive business with two locations. Growing up in the family business allowed him to gain valuable experience at a very young age.  At the age of 12, he worked on his first customer’s car for his dad.  This experience led to building manual transmissions by the age of 14. Racing has always

Her belief in industry education has been a large influence on how much success and growth they have had over last few years.  She has a passion to improve the reputation of the Automotive Repair industry working alongside other shop owners and industry leaders to improve the overall experience of the customer from the moment they make that first call to the shop until they drive their car off the lot instilling transparency and developing trust during the entire process.
