    WHAT WILL THE AUDIENCE LEARN?

    They communicate clearly, efficiently, early and often. They are ready, willing, and able to do what needs to get done.
    This organization cares about their clients and vendors as the individual people and business initiatives that they are.
    EPISODE SUMMARY:
    SMBs love to dream of taking their business to the next level, which requires passion, rigor, and a laser-like focus. Many things can derail that these days, and technology can be one of them. It is more critical than ever to have a technology strategy that avoids bottlenecks and eliminates IT distractions.

    "Contango" is an expression used in finance to describe when the future price of a commodity is higher than the present. In the world of Cybersecurity and IT partnership, our special guest and her team are striving for a similar concept, which is constant improvement.

    We are joined by Schellie Percudani, Vice President of Client Relations at Contango IT. Contango IT’s mission is to provide effective and efficient information technology solutions to businesses and organizations through experienced consulting, service and support.  

    Schellie and the team achieve this with open communication, by working closely together and earning our client’s trust; resulting in a mutually beneficial, long-term relationship. They work tirelessly to make sure their employees, clients, vendors, friends and family stay “in Contango.”

    Maximizing Value and Minimizing Risk

    Maximizing Value and Minimizing Risk

    Fridays 11:00am - 12:00pm (EDT)
    EPISODE SUMMARY:
    Entrepreneurs take lots of risks, which is why they get to reap certain rewards. SMB owners devote significant time, energy, and resources into building organizations. However, business leaders will often avoid planning for two guarantees in this life – death and taxes.
     
    Most people would like to retire on their terms, as opposed to being retired on someone else’s terms…especially if that someone else is the grim reaper!
     
    When it comes to exit strategies for entrepreneurs, or planning for anything unforeseen happening to the leadership, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. The best strategies for each SMB depend on specific circumstances and it is crucial to have the right counsel to customize the plan.
     
    We are joined by Jason Marx, Partner at Mandelbaum Barrett PC. As a member of the tax and corporate law team, Jason works closely with entrepreneurs and their advisors to evaluate all options and create a plan that maximizes the value for all parties involved.

    Leadership Transition in SMBs

    Leadership Transition in SMBs

    EPISODE SUMMARY:
    It’s Friday the 13th and the topic of discussion is one that can frighten SMB owners and their employees just like the horror movies…the idea of a change in leadership.

    Every leadership transition creates disruption and uncertainty for SMBs. Whether it is a family business passed down to a new generation, retirement of the existing leadership, or acquisition by another organization who brings their own leadership team to the table, it is important for the new team to be prepared.

    However, new leaders are often under prepared, under supported, and ultimately unsuccessful in transitioning to these roles. That doesn't have to be the case!

    We are joined by Jane Halford, Founder at Halford Consulting. Jane helps business owners, executives, and boards survive, then thrive, through leadership change. 

    By leveraging her experience as a CEO, board member, entrepreneur, and CPA, Jane brings a breadth of experience to her work. She has a passion to empower teams with skills in proactive planning, collaboration, sharing insight and knowledge with their new leadership teams.
