    189: Building a Timeless Brand: Storytelling Techniques for Lasting Success

    In this week's episode of the AmiSights Podcast, we speak with Nir Zavaro, founder and CEO of Streetwise, a marketing company based in Tel Aviv, Israel. Nir, also an author, shares the inspiration behind the eye-opening title of his latest book, F*ck the Slides: Creating a Winning Pitch Using Storytelling Techniques. “I thought I can bring something new to that industry. And that's when I started my consulting company. And I started to fix businesses like that. And within 2 or 3 years, I became one of the top 5 in the country. So, take the bad things, learn from them, and understand that most of the time people will do roughly the same thing because that's how they got used to doing it. That's how the industry is." Today's episode explores how a failed business venture provided Nir with the valuable experience needed to start his own consulting company, the power of selling an experience or emotion to drive business success beyond just the product, and the critical role unique storytelling techniques play in building a successful brand.

    188: Mastering Business Acquisitions: Solving Loan Challenges

    In this week’s AmiSights Podcast, we dive into Joe McAleer’s journey and experience as Senior Director of Business Financing at MultiFunding. Joe talks about how he knew MultiFunding was the right fit from his first visit 11 years ago. He shares insights into MultiFunding’s unique approach, where the team acts as analysts first to ensure every loan opportunity is carefully evaluated and presented in the best light. “We are so hands-on; you know we are analysts before we are brokers. We dig in, we understand things, and we make sure that we're positioning an opportunity—or a loan request—in the best light possible. We also focus on understanding potential hurdles, the rules and regulations, and how we’re going to guide and advise people. Ultimately, we position them with the best resources to create success." We discuss key insights from MultiFunding, including how the team’s approach focuses on thorough analysis before acting as brokers, ensuring they position each loan request in the best light possible. We also explore how a prospective business buyer’s personal debt and financial needs impact their loan eligibility, as well as the unpredictable journey of running a business, which often follows the natural ebbs and flows rather than a straight line.

    This week, we're thrilled to welcome Nirit Cohen, a leading HR strategist and thought leader on the Future of Work. With 30 years of global experience at Intel in HR and M&A leadership, Nirit bridges emerging trends with actionable insights to help organizations thrive in an evolving landscape. She’s a Forbes columnist, author, and sought-after speaker with deep expertise in workforce transformation. Tune in for an eye-opening conversation on the trends shaping tomorrow's workforce and how to future-proof your career and organization. “Back is not a direction into the future. And saying, Let's go back into the office or back to the way things were, because frankly, if we're honest, they weren't that t right. We talked about work-life balance for a really long time. We talked about women not participating in the workforce because of families. We talked about diversity issues because some people don't fit into the boxes of how we defined work. So we need to redesign. And we need to redesign given the tools we have, which give us more choices, and more flexibility, and more personalization." Today’s episode covers how the COVID-19 pandemic has reshaped the future of work for both employers and employees, expanding the talent pool for those open to redefining how and where work can be done. We’ll also discuss the evolving social contract of work, especially as new generations enter the workforce with different expectations.

    186: Driving Innovation in SBA Lending with Lynn Ozer, President of MultiFunding

    In this week’s episode of the AmiSights Podcast, Ami has the pleasure of interviewing co-host Lynn Ozer, President of MultiFunding and fondly referred to as the "SBA Queen." Tune in as Lynn shares her journey to MultiFunding, which began about three and a half years ago, leading her to a role where she could support the incredible group of lenders that Ami assembled and connect with the entrepreneurs who turn to MultiFunding for guidance. “They always say when a door closes, a window opens,” she said. “Well, this was the best window I ever walked through and found myself in a position to be of assistance to the group of incredible lenders that Ami had put together, and also to be able to meet the world of entrepreneurs that come to MultiFunding for information.” Today’s episode dives into the differences between corporate and small business management layers and decision-making, highlighting how, in corporate America, rising in the ranks often means getting further from the actual product being delivered. We’ll also discuss the need for better systems to monitor and track how SBA lenders treat clients facing challenges.

    185: Redefining Entrepreneurial Banking: The MultiFunding & Owners Bank Alliance

    In this week’s edition of the AmiSights Podcast, Ami talks with Erik Nilsen, Senior Vice President of Digital Strategic Partnerships at Owners Bank. Erik has a deep Product Management & Digital Banking background that was acquired from years of banking and fintech leadership. He is responsible for acquiring and managing strategic partnerships that help with the growth of Owners Bank. Owners Bank is a division of Liberty Bank based in Middletown, CT, which is one of the most innovative and established banks in the country. We've been looking for a bank that offers our clients lines of credit along with great technology, and that's exactly what Owners Bank provides. A good bank isn't just about taking deposits and managing a tech platform; it also plays a key role in providing credit. Owners Bank delivers no BS banking to entrepreneurs. We will launch our partnership at the upcoming EO Xcentric conference in Fort Worth. Owners Bank is currently open for business in Texas, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. We will start in these states and move forward together. Eric talks about how Owners Bank is redefining small business banking, making it simple for business owners. "We have real people that will pick up the phone when you call, and you're not going to go through an extensive call tree all over the country and different time zones. We predicate ourselves on that high-tech, high-touch approach. If you have questions, you're going to get a real person. We try to be really upfront and focus on the experience.” Now there is finally a bank that gets you, with tailored products and services that make things easier for business owners with none of the BS. The main topics of today’s episode include the vision behind empowering entrepreneurs, addressing the gap in small business banking, leveraging technology to provide a seamless banking experience, and the origins of Owners Bank.

For us, being solutions-oriented and helping them achieve their next goal is incredibly fulfilling.” In today's episode, we explore several key topics, including how having hundreds of credit boxes, rather than just one, provides many more opportunities for MultiFunding’s customers.

"A lot of these deals, when you're good at them, are about finesse, and that's to get a deal closed and know the right partners—like how to talk to a client—because business owners, including myself, are lunatics." In today's episode, we'll dive into the current trends in the business brokerage industry, sharing predictions on how the field will evolve with technological advancements and shifting market demands. We'll also feature inspiring stories from clients who successfully bought or sold their businesses through Transworld Colorado, showcasing the transformative impact of these transactions.

    182: Unlocking Team Success: Trust, Accountability, and DISC Mastery

    In this week's edition of the AmiSights Podcast, we speak with Robin Huling, founder of Warner Communication, which delivers transformative workshops and consultancy services. Robin discusses how she transformed her skills into a successful business, driven by her passion for team building and leadership training, along with her deep expertise in DISC theory. “I think what holds people back is the thing that they don't know about, and they're too afraid to ask, and they don't know the different paths that they are able to take on their own,” she said. “I had no idea that my experience and the training that I had would really bridge well into a personal consulting business and that I didn't need to work for a company or a corporation.” In today's episode, we will cover how an entrepreneur doesn't always have to sell a product but can instead sell their skillset and knowledge. We'll also introduce DISC theory and explore how understanding personality types can enhance team dynamics and leadership effectiveness. Lastly, we'll discuss how poor communication between leaders and employees can negatively impact the bottom line.
