In this episode of Money Tales, our guest is Lloyd Greif. After a decade-long investment banking career at Sutro & Co. Incorporated, Lloyd left to start his own boutique investment bank, Greif & Co. Some people would be skittish to make this leap. Not Lloyd. As he tells us, he was a top producer firm wide, and as the leading rainmaker within the organization, he was routinely generating 40% to 60% of the total revenue for their division. Lloyd had the relationships, contacts and chutzpah to know that that success he had at Sutro would carry over, even if he was starting Greif & Co. during a recession. Lloyd's extreme work ethic is legendary, and he had no doubts that he would pull off the new venture. Lloyd is a highly accomplished investment banker of four decades' standing. The fact that he routinely lectures on negotiations at all three of his alma maters – UCLA, USC and Loyola – speaks to his knowledge and expertise. He exclusively represents entrepreneurially owned and operated middle market companies, hence Greif & Co.'s reputation as “The Entrepreneur's Investment Bank.” Lloyd is a zealot for his clients, always putting their interests first, religiously avoiding conflicts of interest, and going to the mat for them. He is also renowned for getting tough, extremely complex deals done no matter the obstacles. A proven successful economic cycle rider, Lloyd founded his eponymous firm during the recession of the early 1990s and has persevered through three other economic downturns. The son of Holocaust survivors, Lloyd grew up in a one-bedroom apartment that he shared with his mother and older brother. Lloyd worked full-time to pay his way through school, earning three degrees—in Economics (BA―UCLA), Entrepreneurship (MBA―USC, Beta Gamma Sigma), and Law (JD―Loyola Law School, Order of the Coif). Running the midnight-to-9am store stocking crew at Ralphs Grocery Co. before going to school was not an infrequent occurrence for him. Lloyd founded Greif & Co. in 1992 following a successful, decade-long investment banking career as Vice Chairman of Sutro & Co., the oldest investment banking firm in the West, where he was head of the investment banking division and a member of the five-person Management Committee that ran the firm. Previously, Lloyd was a business operations and strategy consultant with Touche, Ross & Co. (Deloitte Consulting LLC). In 1997, Lloyd founded the Lloyd Greif Center for Entrepreneurial Studies at USC's Marshall School of Business. The Greif Entrepreneurship Center is consistently ranked among the top 10 entrepreneurial studies centers in the world. Lloyd is past chair of the Board of Directors of the Los Angeles Economic Development Corporation and the Los Angeles Police Foundation, a member of the Board of Directors of the California Chamber of Commerce, a member of the Board of Leaders of the USC Marshall School of Business, a member of both the Young Presidents' Organization (YPO) and World Presidents' Organization (WPO), a member of the Board of Overseers of Loyola Law School, past member of the Board of Trustees and Treasurer of the Florence Academy of Art, and a member of the Board of Advisors of the National Museum of American Illustration. In 2002, Lloyd received the Entrepreneurial Spirit Award from the Boy Scouts of America, in 2000 received the Corporate Excellence Award from Loyola Law School, in 1999 and 2012 received commendations from the City of Los Angeles for his “dedication and outstanding contributions to the Los Angeles community,” and in 2019 received the Alumni Service Award from the University of Southern California. A frequent public speaker, he is an internationally recognized authority in the field of mergers & acquisitions and corporate finance and has been featured in such books as The Entrepreneurial Journey, Strategies for Small Business Success, The Entrepreneurship Movement and the University, Loyola Law School: A Sense of Purpose and A Sense of Mission,

“If you are interested in Native issues, do what you need to do. One person can make a difference.” If you listen to NextGen Native, chances are you know Lance Morgan. Lance is the CEO of Ho-Chunk Inc, a corporation owned by the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska. He also is the managing partner of Frederick Peebles Morgan, and teaches at Arizona State University Law School. I worked with Lance and his company in my last job and had the chance to get to hear his story a bit as he told the story of Ho Chunk Inc. The two are intertwined. After studying economics and earning a law degree (official bio below), Lance moved back to his tribe and within a few years, started to implement the idea he had been tinkering with to create a tribally owned company. It’s a bit crazy now to think that not too long ago, this was a revolutionary idea. Lance grew with the company, and it’s currently generating about $250 million in revenue. It’s a shining success in Indian Country. And not just because of how much it earns, but what it does with its profits, creating housing on the reservation, running a used car company to help tribal members build credit. We discuss transition and trying to build the next generation of talent. We discuss the idea that 30 years from now, there will be 100 Lance Morgan’s and that will be the expectation. We discuss the transition the company is experiencing currently in its business lines. Lance shares some of his favorite podcasts (Freakonomics, Revisionist History, TED, Stuff they Didn’t Teach you in History Class, Revolutions, Harvard Business Review, NPR, and BBC to name a few). This conversation spans far beyond business, including what Lance thinks is most important in life. It’s a jam packed 45 minutes, you may end up listening to it twice! Official Bio Lance Morgan is President and Chief Executive Officer of Ho-Chunk, Inc. Morgan launched Ho-Chunk, Inc. in 1994 as the economic development corporation of the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska. Under Morgan's leadership, Ho-Chunk, Inc. has been recognized by a variety of national organizations including: Innovations in Government Award, sponsored by Harvard University and the Ford Foundation; Honoring Nations Award, also sponsored by Harvard; Minority Business Magazine, Entrepreneurial Spirit Award; Distinguished Alumni Speaker, Harvard Law School; Small Business Administration; U.S. Department of State; U.S. Department of Commerce; and the White House. Morgan was selected as a “Champion of Change” by the White House in 2011. In 2012, he was awarded the Nebraska Builder Award by the University of Nebraska and the keynote speaker for commencement ceremonies. Morgan was appointed to the Board of Trustees of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American Indian in 2013/2014, he was honored with the Advocate of the Year Award by the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Minority Business Development Agency.Morgan earned a Bachelor's Degree in Economics from the University of Nebraska (B. S. 1990) and graduated from Harvard Law School (J.D. 1993). He is a member of the Minnesota Bar Association. Morgan is an enrolled member of the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska.

You are listening to EPISODE 105 (TOP 10 SHOWS OF 2014) WIT' CHERYL WOOD AND JERRY ROYCE LIVEhttp://www.cherylempowers.com/#!home/mainPageEnthusiastic. Engaging. Innovative.Cheryl Wood is a compelling thought leader and motivational speaker who possesses a deep-rooted passion for supporting the personal development and economic empowerment of women globally. Cheryl has impacted the lives of thousands of women through her life-changing principles of FEARLESS living. She is an award-winning entrepreneur, speaker, author, and business coach who specializes in equipping women to stretch their thinking, expand their expectations, and play bigger. Her message of empowerment has been spotlighted on Fox 5 News, News Channel 8, Radio One, WPGC, WHUR, My Spirit DC, Afro-American Newspaper, and more. Cheryl inspires women to embrace their personal power to visualize, strategize, and execute in order to achieve their life, career, or business goals. Her sheer enthusiasm for achieving what others deem “impossible” is contagious and sparks a flame among her audiences to step outside of their comfort zone, take risks, and remove self-limiting beliefs to become the best version of themselves. Cheryl’s personal story is one of determination and resilience. In her journey, she repeatedly demonstrates the power of nurturing your possibilities and immobilizing fear. Raised as one of three children in a single-parent household in low-income housing in Baltimore, Maryland, Cheryl witnessed poverty and crime on a daily basis. However, from a young age she developed an “internal conviction” that she would not become a product of her environment, but rather she would implement the life skills her mother instilled in her – hard work, integrity, loyalty, drive, and passion – to create a different reality for herself. Immediately after graduating high school, Cheryl jumped into the work force and quickly landed a number of senior administrative positions in Corporate America. For nearly 20 years, she built a career that would have seemed “comfortable” for most. But, it wasn’t enough for Cheryl. Once she married and became a mother of three, her spirit yearned for more. Cheryl fell into a space of being frustrated and unfulfilled in life with a desire to do more, become more, and set an example for her children that it is never too late to pursue your dreams. She ditched the idea of just dreaming about her aspirations and, instead, began to pursue them without thoughts of ever turning back. The results are still astounding to most. In a five year period, Cheryl started a mommy t-shirt business, walked away from her Corporate job, and built an international speaking and coaching business. She made the decision to walk in her greatness without apologies or regrets to become a mission-driven entrepreneur living in her purpose. Cheryl authentically shares the ups and downs of her journey and inspires women to persevere until they reach their goals even in the face of challenges, setbacks, fears and doubts. Cheryl has authored three books, How I Flatlined and Woke Up in 45 Days – A Guide to Empowered Living; The GlamourLESS Side of Entrepreneurship – What They DIDN’T Tell You About Being A Woman In Business; and The Power to Sizzle – Transformational Power Thoughts for Creating The Life You Want. She is a contributing writer for WISE Magazine, Enterprising Women Magazine, and FAHARI Magazine. Cheryl has received numerous awards and recognition for her work including 2014 Success In Stilettos Award; 2013 Willie Jolley Motivational Speaker Award; 2013 Who’s Who In Black Washington, DC; 2013 Who’s Who in Prince George’s County; 2013 Woman of Possibilities Award; 2012 Forty Under Forty Honoree; 2012 Inspirational Entrepreneur of the Year Award; 2011 Small Business Influencer Award; 2010 Business Woman of the Year Award; 2010 Entrepreneurial Spirit Award; and 2010 Governor’s Citation for Excellence in Small Business.

Todays guest is a man on a mission to help the world self develop, progress, and move to a better future, all at a time and pace that is convenient for them. He started his first business at the age of twelve, and since then has travelled the world whilst pursuing his passion of leadership and team culture development on a larger scale. In 2008, he founded Actionable Books, which led to him winning in 2009 Entrepreneurial Spirit Award, by using business books as a platform for leader and team growth. But knowing that by utilising technology, that is both easy to get and easy to carry around, he could grow his brand even further, in 2010 he went online, and launched actionable interviews where he has conducted interviews with such big thinkers such as Seth Godin, Susan Cain and Sir Ken Robinson.

EPIS0DE 105 ON JERRY ROYCE LIVE! BOOK - How I Flatlined and Woke Up in 45 DaysEnthusiastic. Engaging. Innovative.Cheryl Wood is a compelling thought leader and motivational speaker who possesses a deep-rooted passion for supporting the personal development and economic empowerment of women globally. Cheryl has impacted the lives of thousands of women through her life-changing principles of FEARLESS living. She is an award-winning entrepreneur, speaker, author, and business coach who specializes in equipping women to stretch their thinking, expand their expectations, and play bigger. Her message of empowerment has been spotlighted on Fox 5 News, News Channel 8, Radio One, WPGC, WHUR, My Spirit DC, Afro-American Newspaper, and more. Cheryl inspires women to embrace their personal power to visualize, strategize, and execute in order to achieve their life, career, or business goals. Her sheer enthusiasm for achieving what others deem “impossible” is contagious and sparks a flame among her audiences to step outside of their comfort zone, take risks, and remove self-limiting beliefs to become the best version of themselves. Cheryl’s personal story is one of determination and resilience. In her journey, she repeatedly demonstrates the power of nurturing your possibilities and immobilizing fear. Raised as one of three children in a single-parent household in low-income housing in Baltimore, Maryland, Cheryl witnessed poverty and crime on a daily basis. However, from a young age she developed an “internal conviction” that she would not become a product of her environment, but rather she would implement the life skills her mother instilled in her – hard work, integrity, loyalty, drive, and passion – to create a different reality for herself. Immediately after graduating high school, Cheryl jumped into the work force and quickly landed a number of senior administrative positions in Corporate America. For nearly 20 years, she built a career that would have seemed “comfortable” for most. But, it wasn’t enough for Cheryl. Once she married and became a mother of three, her spirit yearned for more. Cheryl fell into a space of being frustrated and unfulfilled in life with a desire to do more, become more, and set an example for her children that it is never too late to pursue your dreams. She ditched the idea of just dreaming about her aspirations and, instead, began to pursue them without thoughts of ever turning back. The results are still astounding to most. In a five year period, Cheryl started a mommy t-shirt business, walked away from her Corporate job, and built an international speaking and coaching business. She made the decision to walk in her greatness without apologies or regrets to become a mission-driven entrepreneur living in her purpose. Cheryl authentically shares the ups and downs of her journey and inspires women to persevere until they reach their goals even in the face of challenges, setbacks, fears and doubts. Cheryl has authored three books, How I Flatlined and Woke Up in 45 Days – A Guide to Empowered Living; The GlamourLESS Side of Entrepreneurship – What They DIDN’T Tell You About Being A Woman In Business; and The Power to Sizzle – Transformational Power Thoughts for Creating The Life You Want. She is a contributing writer for WISE Magazine, Enterprising Women Magazine, and FAHARI Magazine.
