Giorgio Andonian is the Managing Director at FOCUS Investment Banking, where he specializes in mergers and acquisitions within the Consumer and Automotive Aftermarket industries. He joined FOCUS in 2019, bringing over 15 years of operational experience, including his role as Vice President of a regional tire chain in Southern California, where he oversaw sales, marketing, finance, and human resources, ultimately preparing the business for a successful exit to a private equity platform. Giorgio holds a MBA with an emphasis in finance from Pepperdine University's Graziadio School of Business and Management and maintains several professional licenses, including Series 79, Series 82, Series 63, and a California Real Estate License. In this episode… The tire and auto repair industry is experiencing a wave of consolidation as shop owners consider mergers, acquisitions, and succession planning. What steps should business owners take to maximize the value of their business, whether they plan to sell or grow? According to Giorgio Andonian, Managing Director at FOCUS Investment Banking, preparation is key to achieving the best outcome. Business owners should start by evaluating their financial structure, understanding fair market rent, and optimizing operations well before considering a sale. Giorgio emphasizes that having a clear succession plan, even if an immediate sale isn't in the works, can significantly impact long-term profitability and stability. Additionally, for those looking to expand rather than exit, securing the right capital and investment partners can help fuel growth while maintaining control over their business. On this episode of Gain Traction, Mike Edge chats with Giorgio about market trends in the tire industry, how to prepare for an acquisition, and the role of private equity in fueling business growth. They also discuss why many shop owners overlook key financial details, such as fair market rent, and how proper planning can prevent costly mistakes. Here's a glimpse of what you'll learn: [01:52] Giorgio Andonian discusses his background in the tire industry and his role at FOCUS Investment Banking [04:13] The value of having a second set of eyes on a business for operational improvements [05:52] The importance of exit strategies and succession planning for tire shop owners [07:27] How FOCUS helps business owners prepare for a sale years in advance [17:00] Key factors buyers evaluate in a tire shop, including cleanliness and efficiency [17:41] The most-overlooked factor in selling a business: fair market rent [19:20] Buyer preference in purchasing both the business and the real estate or just one [20:22] How long-term lease agreements with national tenants can increase property value Resources mentioned in this episode: Giorgio Andonian on LinkedIn FOCUS Investment Banking Les Schwab Tires Mike Edge on LinkedIn Tread Partners Quotable Moments: "Preparation is key; start planning your exit strategy years in advance to maximize your business's value." "Understanding your corporate structure, like C Corp versus S Corp, can significantly impact the taxes you pay upon selling." "Charging yourself fair market rent is crucial; many owners overlook this, affecting their business valuation." "It's not just about the sale price; the right buyer ensures your company's legacy and employees are in good hands." "Our industry experience allows us to identify operational improvements that can enhance profitability before a sale." Action Steps: Assess your financials: Conduct a thorough evaluation of your tire shop's financial performance, including profit margins and detailed financial statements, to present an attractive profile to potential buyers. Enhance curb appeal: Improve your shop's exterior by cleaning surfaces, updating signage and lighting, and organizing display areas to create a positive first impression. Streamline operations: Optimize inventory management and invest in employee training to increase efficiency and customer satisfaction, making your business more appealing to buyers. Gather legal documents: Compile all necessary legal paperwork, such as business licenses, tax filings, employee contracts, and insurance policies, to ensure compliance and facilitate a smooth transaction. Set a realistic price: Determine a fair market value for your tire shop based on thorough market analysis to attract serious buyers and facilitate a successful sale. Sponsor for this episode...

Experte für Patente & Lizenzen und treibende Kraft in Innovation und Unternehmertum Peter Hug ist passionierter Erfinder, Inhaber mehrerer Patente und Marken, leidenschaftlicher Unternehmer seit mehr als 25 Jahren, und ein gefragter Innovations-Experte. Als autorisiertes go-Inno Beratungsunternehmen des Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz (BMWK) hilft Peter und sein Team, Klein- und Mittelständischen Unternehmen (KMU), Selbstständigen und Gründern, Ideen erfolgreich umzusetzen. Nach der technischer Ausbildung und Studium hat Peter Hug, neben seiner Tätigkeit als Leiter der Produktentwicklung eines KMU, ein Executive Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) mit Schwerpunkt Technologie und Innovationsmanagement an der Steinbeis School of Management & Technology abgeschlossen. Danach ging Peter nach Kalifornien, in eine der Innovativesten Wirtschaftsregion der Welt, um Betriebswirtschaft an der Pepperdine University in Los Angeles zu studieren. Währenddessen war Peter Mitglied des Entrepreneurs Club der Graziadio School of Business and Management, und konnte über deren Business Angels Netzwerk bei Pitch Veranstaltungen den Gründerspirit des Silicon Beach live miterleben. Er hat zu dieser Zeit in Santa Monica gelebt und gearbeitet, wo sich derweil Tech Unternehmen wie Snapchat, Yahoo, Dollar-Shave-Club, Hulu oder SpaceX in seiner direkten Nachbarschaft angesiedelt haben. Patente & Lizenzen - Ideen zum Markterfolg bringen Nach einem Abstecher an die Universität St. Gallen (HSG) in der Schweiz, hat Peter mit einem Master of Business Administration (MBA) mit Schwerpunkt Innovation & Entrepreneurship cum laude abgeschlossen. Seither hat Peter mehrere Unternehmen gegründet, Produktideen umgesetzt, und Innovationen erfolgreich an Unternehmen lizenziert. Seit 2016 unterstützt er Unternehmer, KMU Geschäftsführer, und Selbständigen dabei, aus deren Ideen einen Markterfolg zu machen. Peter`s Geschäftsmodell steht auf 2 Säulen zu Patente & Lizenzen - dem Erfinden, also dem Umsetzen eigener Ideen mithilfe von Lizenznehmern, also etablierte Unternehmer mit vorhandener Unternehmensstruktur, Produktion, Sales, Service etc… - zum anderen unterstütze Peter KMU Geschäftsführer, Unternehmer und Selbständige dabei deren Ideen umzusetzen. Der Schlüssel, um erfolgreich zu Innovieren ist möglichst viele Ideen zu validieren, testen und umzusetzen. Clayton Christiansen von der Harvard Universität hat einmal in einer Studie herausgefunden, dass aus 10 Ideen nur 2 oder 3 sich am Markt durchsetzen, im besten Fall eine durch die Decke geht. Erfolg mit Innovation ist ein Zahlenspiel. Um für möglichst viele Ideen umzusetzen, beispielsweise um Prototypen zu bauen (MVPś), Markttests zu machen (proof of market), Patente anzumelden, Kapital zu akquirieren etc. musst du möglichst Kosteneffizient und strategisch klug vorgehen, um nicht schon am Ende zu sein, bevor es losgeht. Patente & Lizenzen: Mit dem 9 stufigen Lean Inventing Ideen testen Dafür hat Peter einen 9 stufigen Innovationsprozess ausgearbeitet, das Lean Inventing. Damit können Peters Kunden einen erproben Prozess durchlaufen, um schnell und kosteneffizient Ideen zu testen, anzupassen, und am Ende erfolgreich umzusetzen. Beispielweise arbeitet Peter ich mit einer Methode um temporären kostenlosen Patentschutz zu nutzen, mit 3-D Druck und anderen Rapid-Prototyping Methoden Prototypen zu bauen, oder der Nutzung von (quasi kostenlosen) staatlichen Fördermitteln. Auf der Finanzierungsseite gibt es nämlich für Selbständige und Unternehmen extrem hilfreiche Unterstützung in Form von staatlichen Fördermitteln. Dafür gibt es wunderbare Programme von Bund und Ländern für innovative Ideen und deren Umsetzung. Der Staat ist daran interessiert, dass Innovation im Land bleibt, Arbeitsplätze geschaffen werden, und am Ende Steuern gezahlt werden. Dafür gibt er gerne Geld für gute Ideen, was eine großartige Starthilfe für die Unternehmen ist um Ideen umzusetzen, oder auch um Risiken zu minimieren wenn mal etwas nicht funktioniert. Und das Beste daran: Du musst dich nicht um aufwendigen Förderanträge, Papierkram oder langes Warten auf die Förderzugsage einstellen. Darum kümmert sich Peter und sein Team, und garantiert dir Fördermittel von bis zu 20.000Eur und mehr, damit Du gleich durchstarten kannst. Dein größter Fehler als Unternehmer?: Meine erste Gründung war mit 22 Jahren, gemeinsam mit einem Partner. Wir waren privat befreundet, beide Techniker, und wollten selbstbestimmt für uns arbeiten, und nicht für andere. Wir hatten die gleichen skills, sollen beide gleichberechtigt entscheiden und Partner sein. Ohne klare Aufgabenteilung nach Fähigkeiten, Interessen oder Stärken. Das hat zwangsläufig zu Konflikten geführt, wir haben beide für weniger Geld mehr gearbeitet, und der Traum von der Freiheit als Unternehmer wurde zum zwischenmenschlichen Albtraum. Später im Studium habe ich die Story einem meiner Professoren erzählt, der auch VC Partner war. Er kannte solche Geschichten zu Hauf. Wenn du gründest, nimm nur einen Partner dazu dazu, wenn sich Fähigkeiten ergänzen, also die Partnerschaft einen finanziellen Mehrwert hat – „only partner for spreadsheet reasons“. Freunde sollst du trotzdem haben, geh mit ihnen feiern oder ein Bier trinken, aber gründe keine Firma gemeinsam nur weil du Gesellschaft brauchst. Deine Lieblings-Internet-Ressource?: Trello, ohne dieses Tool bin ich verloren :) ich arbeite gleichzeitig an mehreren Projekten die ich mit Trello strukturiere, organisiere und manage.

The day before I interviewed Dr. Dana Sumpter, a new mother wrote in on the Becoming Mama & Beyond Facebook group about working during the pandemic and how it’s impacted her mentally, physically, and more. I couldn’t believe how timely our episode was and how impactful our conversation would be. I met Dana through another colleague who shared that she was running a research project on working mothers during covid. Being a research nut myself I couldn’t wait to hear more. I also wanted to have an opportunity to connect with another working mother in the field so I reached out to her. Dr. Dana Sumpter is an Associate Professor of Management at Pepperdine University's Graziadio School of Business. Formerly a Vice President of Human Resources at Citigroup, she draws from her experience as an expatriate in Asia and her research on behavior at work in teaching graduate-level cross-cultural management and diversity. She is a working mom, with two young kids, and has used the inspiration of her personal experience to drive her current research agenda, studying the experiences of working mothers during the pandemic. A few weeks before our interview - Dana interviewed me as part of their research study which should be coming out to publication soon. Today you’ll hear highlights from their findings and much much more. Some of the things you’ll learn today are: The silver lining of covid 19- whether that is changing careers, adding in passions, spending more time with family The expectations that we have on ourselves and that women tend to put higher expectations on themselves rather than men The motherhood mental load The difference between integrators vs segmentors How managers can be more compassionate and empowering during this time Having difficult conversations with your spouse about roles and responsibilities And so much more. If you are a working mother you’ll absolutely want to listen in to our episode today. Dana gives incredible tips on how to navigate covid as a working mom! If you want to get in touch with Dana you can write her at Dana.sumpter@pepperdine.edu or listen to her TEDx Talk it is linked here: https://www.ted.com/talks/dana_sumpter_don_t_underestimate_working_mothers

Across 10 Asia-Pacific nations, Professor Sumpter led live executive training and coached executives on people management skills. She is an avid traveler, who has spent time in more than 30 countries (and counting!).In this episode, Stew and Dana discuss her new research, with her colleague Mona Zanhour, on mothers during the pandemic. Dana discusses best practices for working mothers, their partners in parenting, and their employers, including how to engage in meaningful dialogue toward viable new approaches for what, where, and how things get done, and by whom in the domestic sphere. She shares ideas about how to make self-care a priority because of how crucial it is in enabling working mothers to cope well with the intense pressures of our time. And they discuss the importance of hope and the potential silver linings in these dark and difficult times. Here then is an invitation, a challenge, for you, once you’ve listened to the conversation. Ask yourself this question, if you’re a working mother or want to develop an idea to help one you might know: What small step can you take now to better care of yourself and how by doing so will you increase your capacity to help those who depend on you?

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Darrol Stanley, Professor of Finance at Pepperdine Graziadio School of Business. As some of you may know, I’m in the process of getting my MBA at Pepperdine, and coming into school, I wanted to do an interview with one of my professors whose class I not only enjoyed, but was also relevant to our mission with the podcast. That has all led me to my guest, Professor Darrol Stanley, my professor for finance to share his wealth of knowledge and experience with you all today. I loved Professor Stanley’s class because it was as old school as it gets, and he remained focused on teaching us the traditional value investing principles passed down from the greats: from Benjamin Graham to Warren Buffet, and we even spent time at the beginning of one class discussing Professor Sanjay Bakshi’s contributions to the world of investing. The goal for this episode to take you to class with me with one of my favorite Professors to discuss a topic we all know and love: finance and investing.

Leaders Of Transformation | Leadership Development | Conscious Business | Global Transformation
Why is there a leadership gender gap, and what do we do about it? Dr. Shawn Andrews is a keynote speaker and organizational consultant. She has over two decades of corporate experience in the biopharmaceutical industry with a strong history of leading, educating and inspiring others. She has helped thousands of leaders improve and develop their leadership skills and emotional intelligence, and most recently released her first book called The Power Of Perception: Leadership, Emotional Intelligence, and The Gender Divide. Today we talk with Shawn about transformational leadership vs transactional leadership, how women and men approach leadership differently, and the barriers that keep women from the upper echelon of leadership. We also discuss the power of perception and how that plays a role in leadership circles, and strategies for bridging the leadership gender gap. Whether you are a woman climbing the corporate ladder or a man in an existing leadership role seeking to understand how to work more effectively with women leaders, our conversation with Dr. Andrews will be well worth your time. As Shawn summarizes so well, we will all be better off when both women and men are equally invited to bring their natural strengths and skills to the boardroom tables of the world. Key Takeaways 1) 5.2% women lead S&P 500 companies = 26 female CEOs vs 474 male CEOs. The numbers are improving but we are still a long way from gender balance. 2) 60% of women in US and Europe go on to earn a bachelor's degree. Women do very well in school however the workplace is more of a masculine environment, where women's strengths are not as valued. 3) Men and women are socialized differently right from the time we are born – in the colors we're dressed in and the games we play as children. Boys play competitive games, where girls' games are about the process, collaboration and getting along. We take these roles into the workplace as adults. It shows up in many different ways. 4) Men and women approach meetings differently – men line up their ducks beforehand whereas women come to the meeting ready to share their ideas, not realizing that the real meeting has already happened. 5) In conversations, men will only nod their head when they are in agreement. Women tend to nod during the conversation, as an acknowledgement that they heard what was being said and as an encouragement to keep going, not necessarily as agreement. Men may be perceived as more decisive in this case, whereas women may be seen as agreeable to everything. It's not right or wrong, it's about perception. 6) Men and women have been shown to be equally effective leaders however their styles are generally different. 7) Transactional leadership is based on an even exchange of transactions between leader and follower. This style of leadership is associated with men more than women. Transformational leadership is based on even levels of cooperation, collaboration and teamwork between leader and follower. It's also built on collective decision making and problem solving. This is associated with women more than men. Both are effective, however transformational leadership will sustain longer in organizations today. If women would leverage their natural transformational leadership skills, they would do very well in leadership roles. 8) Accessing informal networks – Men are very good at networking with each other, however women have more expansive networks. If women would leverage their networks more, they would go a long way to gaining access to key people. 9) Biases – There are many women with young children who would love to travel and take on other assignments. There are also many men who would not want to travel or take on other assignments. Do not assume either is true, ask. 10) Women – Learn to take more credit for your successes.
