In today's episode we're going back in the archives to listen in on our REACTsponsors Program Director, Erin Howe, sitting down with REACT DC's CEO, Amy Marden, and 4 of our past and present Sponsors, Kim and Steve Schaffer, Domi Long, and Brooke Cutler during their Roundtable Discussion back in September about all things sponsorship. Kim and Steve Schaffer are part of the Socorro Friends Sponsor Circle. They are a team of 4 couples plus one singleton. Their circle started in November of 2021 and their newcomer family arrived in February of 2022. There were 5 children and a 6th was born in October. All school-aged children attended school and became near and dear to the community, playing soccer and joining in on community events. Two of the children had significant disabilities that required numerous doctor and therapy appointments that the team assisted with. The father found a job washing dishes in April and his crew loved him. Both parents worked with community volunteers to learn English and guidance on life in the USA. The family moved to Dallas in October to be near family and they are missed by the entire Socorro Friends Sponsor Circle Team. Domi Long is an educator from Silver Spring, Maryland. Her work with organizations providing services for Afghan evacuees introduced her to the unprecedented need for support for these newcomers. She is grateful to have learned of the Sponsor Circles program and to have had the opportunity to work with friends and neighbors to help an Afghan family settle in her community. Brooke Cutler is a stay at home mother of six children, and her husband, Spencer, is a biomedical engineer. They have both lived overseas multiple times and met many refugees in need of a place to call home, so when they heard of the sponsor circle program, they knew that sponsoring a refugee family was something their family wanted to do. They feel so blessed to have these Ukrainian families as a part of their lives. If you've ever wondered what it was like to sponsor an Afghan or Ukrainian refugee or family, what steps it takes, and what it looks like in real life for real people like YOU, you cannot miss this conversation! The unedited roundtable discussion is also available for viewing on our YouTube channel. REACT DC currently has nearly 14+ Ukrainian Sponsor Circles, with ongoing efforts to recruit & hand-match 100 circles to Ukrainians in need by the end of 2022. With a best in class in class Sponsorship Program & a track record of 60+ past & present Sponsor Circles since January 2022, REACTsponsors will be by your side throughout the sponsorship experience.

Ep.#2 [THEME FOUR] Running a business is a lot like running a sports team. You need all the positions filled—ideally with the top talent—in order to even participate in the game. Many middle-market private companies are going without positions that are needed in order to participate in the game. So many lack the resources to find, hire, and maintain A-player executives who can fill each function (finance, sales, marketing, IT, HR, etc.). A-players completely take the responsibility for the department, come up with a long-term plan, and execute their strategic initiatives with accuracy against that plan because they have “been there and done that” before. Without A-player executives, it’s hard to even participate in the game of business because all the responsibility for each department lands on the shoulders of the CEO/owner. This leads to burnout and ultimately a failure to reach the full potential of the company and long-term valuation target. Today, Ryan breaks down why the middle market struggles to get access to top executive talent and how the fractional executive market is helping fix this problem. He then dives into the specifics of the fractional CFO services industry and the various types of offerings out there. Finally, Ryan interviews two owners who have a fractional CFO and what that has done for them and their businesses. // WATCH THE INTERVIEW ON YOUTUBE: Intentional Growth™ Podcast Fractional CFO Overview, Ryan Tansom // 01:00 Ryan goes in-depth about why the fractional CFO space exists and why it’s so crucial to the mid-market, and then he tee’s up the two 30-minute segments with Steve Schaffer and Jimmy Fritz. Why every business–regardless of the size–needs highly skilled talent overseeing each function but typically falls short. Why most companies can’t afford high-level executives even though they employ an outsized portion of the population. Why the fractional executive marketplace is growing rapidly. How a CFO helps a CEO run a company through the financial lens. Why doing EVERYTHING yourself leads to burnout. How the role of a CFO can help offload many operational responsibilities from a CEO. What it truly means to be a fractional executive. The different business models of fractional executive companies (and in more detail fractional CFO services). Owner of Schaffer Manufacturing, Steve Schaffer // 19:30 Steve Schaffer was born into his family business. Like many second-generation family business owners, he grew up working in the company. In 2008, he bought the business from his dad and took over the long-term family company. Like many first-time business owners, he thought he knew everything he needed to know about running the business. After some hard lessons, he realized the company was making no money and needed to make a change. After engaging with Arkona’s fractional CFO services, he has clarity on how to organize his cash so he can see where his company has been, where it’s going, and how close he is to the ultimate goal. In this episode, he talks about his 10-year process of starting confused, stressed, and unhappy, to now–when he is having fun, creating wealth, and going on 200-mi
