I Choose to Focus on the Good Things - It Really Saved My Life - with Sean McCourt
I'm proud to call this guy a friend - he's an amazing individual! Sean McCourt grew up in Teaneck, NJ; a lower middle class town just outisde of New York City. He his thankful to his Mom & Dad for instilling core values and just enough 'healthy neglect' to help him find his way in life. After High School, Sean spent four years at Roger Williams College in Rhode Island, where he ALMOST graduated! When he left college, Sean took a sales job with a staffing firm in Boston. And over the next fifteen years he often wondered what it would be like to have his own company, but the one thing that held him back was fear. 'I was afraid' Ultimately, it was Sean's wife Katherine that inspired him to take the chance. 'Stop being a P@$$y - Sh$t or get off the pot. You can do this!' And just like that...Longford & Associates was born. One year later, Katherine along with their three kids (Jack 5, Claire 2 and Will 3 months) had gone to visit her parents in upstate New York. Sean stayed home to work on the company and while at dinner with friends, he received a call from his father-in-law. that would change his forever. Please take the time to listen to his inspiring story.

Saying 'No' to Alcohol; Selling my Company; Living to 100 with Ken Johnson
60 going on 26! Ken Johnson has more energy than most people half his age, which is a good thing because he plans to live for another 30-40 years! In 2022, Ken stepped down as CEO of @masmedicalstaffing after nearly twenty years at the helm. Just after 911, he and his team stumbled into the Healthcare Staffing space, but no one could have anticipated that the company would sell for nine figures two decades later. Their growth was 100% orgnanic - no mergers - no acquisitions - just 'brute force' and the willingess to embrace technology. In the early days Ken threw himself into his job, but 17 years ago his wife, Susan, confronted him about his drinking. 'It's the booze or it's me and the kids,' she said. She changed his life that day. Ken went on to say, 'I quit drinking and it was hard - it was the hardest thing I've ever done.' 'The battle was psychological, but today my life is so much better. Today is the happiest I've ever been.' In this conversation Ken and I talked about business, booze and life after selling his company. I hope it's a source of inspiration for anyone that might be struggling with an addiction or perhaps looking for a meaningful way to spend their time after moving on from a business or a career. #healthcare #nursing #healthcareworkers #travelnurse #technology #uber #alcohol #drinking #opportunity #hobbies #painting #guitar #newhampshire #acadianationalpark❤️ #maine #usnavy #coaching #leadership #sale #communication #workethic #hardwork #belief #ceo #privateequity #founder #living

Proud to be an American and Proud of My Ukrainian Heritage
Yuriy Margolin, CEO & Owner at Moving Sales Professionals and Host of 'Let's Talk Moving Podcast', joined me to discuss just about everything! Yuiy migrated to the US from Ukraine at 11 years old. His English was limited and his parents did not have much money, but his work ethic, determination and beliefs helped him build a life full of meaning. Yuriy is Jewish, born in Ukraine, raised in the US and his first language was Russian. His background and unique blend of objectivity and empathy, allowed us to have a healthy conversation about delicate topics like war, immigration and religion. We also managed to fit in some sales talk in between. I learned a lot and hope you enjoy. #ukraine #israel #russia #palestine #sales #moving @yuriymargolin
