    Ep 10. Building a Brand That Wins – Bob Freytag, Introworks – CEO 2 CEO

    In this episode of CEO 2 CEO, I had the opportunity to talk with Bob Freytag, the CEO of Introworks, about branding.  When people use the term ‘branding’, I think of the true meaning of what a brand is and how building a truly differentiated brand can be the catalyst in changing your organization.  Brand is about the stories you have created where you have helped customers in a unique way.  It’s not just the product, service, or the social media posts.  It is how you live your brand in every interaction with your stakeholders – employees, customers, vendors – that builds the essence of your brand. Bob talks about great brands that have three common traits: ✔They are emotional: they appeal on a higher level that compels you.  ✔They are simple: while products and services can be complex, the result they deliver needs to be conveyed with simplicity.  ✔They are remarkable: In the minds of a customer, a brand is different from all the others.  He takes you through the thinking you can do concerning your brand and how to bring it to life in the eyes and hearts of your customers. I’ve had the great fortune of experiencing Bob’s work firsthand, and his passion and creativity around the brand are second to none.

    Ep 8. Buying a Business: Creating a Playbook and Running it – Tom Henrich, Eagle Aluminum – CEO 2 CEO

    Tom Henrich, the CEO of Eagle Aluminum, talks with me about his decision to become a business owner and his process towards a successful acquisition in 2022. Amidst a landscape where transactions may be opportunistic or with tunnel vision, Tom's approach was very strategic and deliberate. He identified his preferred geographic area and targeted industry sectors and then did the really hard work of networking and forging vital relationships with key advisors to any business–– from accounting firms to banks, attorneys, and consultants. This work led him to evaluate numerous deals and put together multiple Letters of Intent (LOIs), giving him a spectrum of options. Additionally, he also built his financing structure to get the deal done.    This is a fun success story of a local entrepreneur who is now growing Eagle Aluminum into their future. Be sure to subscribe to CEO 2 CEO and listen in on conversations where Scott connects the dots between the issues CEO’s face and the experience of remarkable guest leaders in upcoming episodes. And, be ready to be wiser from it.

    Ep 7. Business growth through leadership development – Mary Nutting, CorTalent – CEO 2 CEO

    Forward thinking CEO’s will tell you how important executive development is to the growth and health of the organization.  Deliberate focus on the development journey can accelerate the pace of building solid teams aligned with your vision of the future.  The reality of today’s business world is that intentional development can often get overrun by the needs of today’s strategic and operational challenges.  Do your direct reports have a development plan, and are you having consistent conversations about their progress?  What role are you playing in their growth?  We’ve turned to Mary Nutting, CEO of CorTalent, for insights on those questions.  Mary has developed an executive coaching platform that is helping companies drive more growth.  This conversation with Mary is on point with what visionary CEOs are thinking about and her perspective on the error many make in thinking that hiring a strong COO or integrator will solve all the problems…far from it, as Mary is quick to point out.  If you are about coaching and growing a stronger team to accelerate your business, you will enjoy this episode.
