    Let's Go! Ep. 20 - Diversity Doesn't Have a Finish Line

    In the second half of our Let’s Go! conversation with JeVon McCormick, President and CEO of Scribe Media, JeVon shares his approach to improving diversity and inclusion in the workplace – and why he won’t use pronouns, why he hates the phrase “pull yourself up by the boot-straps” and why he is against the acronym DEI. JeVon, a successful entrepreneur, keynote speaker and author, has been named as Austin’s Best CEO, and Entrepreneur has recognized Scribe Media for having the #1 Top Company Culture.  His engrossing origin story begins with his mother who, after being raised in an institutional orphanage, was sent into the world at age 17 with a small suitcase and twenty dollars.  Of mixed race and a childhood anchored in poverty, JeVon’s childhood was immersed in racism and bigotry – yet it also afforded him the opportunity to see both sides of the world, “how it operates, how people treated me, which for me was very critical in going into business”.  In this conversation, JeVon shares that he believes racism “still exists, and in my opinion, it always will. But I believe I have a responsibility to do my part in making our company a culture of welcome.” --------------------------------------------------------- Learn more about Scribe Media https://scribemedia.com/ Learn more about HireBetter https://www.HireBetter.com Follow HireBetter on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/hirebetter About Kurt Wilkin Kurt Wilkin is a serial entrepreneur, mentor, investor and Co-Founder of HireBetter - the Strategic Talent Partner for entrepreneurial, high-growth, middle-market companies that need the right solutions to thrive and scale.

    Let's Go! Ep. 19 - Leading the Way for Conscious Culture & Capitalism

    A study of more than 1.4 million Glassdoor reviews across 38 industries found that company culture is 12.4 times more likely to predict whether an employee will quit than compensation.  This data validates what we’ve been saying all along – culture is key. And the best weapon against toxic cultures is modern leadership. It’s is all about putting people first.  Enter JeVon McCormick, Author and CEO of Scribe Media. He’s been named as Austin’s #1 CEO, and once you meet him, it’s easy to see why. JeVon believes that leaders shouldn’t be anyone’s boss. He lives by the mantra, “No one works for me. They work with me.”  JeVon says his brand of leadership is all about putting people first and making people the center of his process. His process includes just three steps: hire great people, build a great process, and make great profits. “Great profits,” according to JeVon, means using the profit for good in his community – giving back. JeVon also highlights two important aspects of modern leadership: intention and support. --------------------------------------------------------- Learn more about Scribe Media https://scribemedia.com/ Learn more about HireBetter https://www.HireBetter.com Follow HireBetter on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/hirebetter About Kurt Wilkin Kurt Wilkin is a serial entrepreneur, mentor, investor and Co-Founder of HireBetter - the Strategic Talent Partner for entrepreneurial, high-growth, middle-market companies that need the right solutions to thrive and scale.

    Let's Go! Ep. 12 - How Transformational Leadership Can Transform Your Business

    This week on “Let’s Go!,” Kurt Wilkin hosts a discussion on the power of relationships and connections, wrapped up in the game-changing concept of Conscious Capitalism. Building connections and nurturing conscious relationships are two things that a lot of CEOs fail to consider. For Karen Sammon, former CEO and President of Par Tech,  shaping her business and leadership style toward sustainability steered her former company toward the $2B business it is today. At Par Tech, Karen transformed her former company by making the success of members of her team as the focal point. This shift was born out of empathy and understanding of the personal impacts intentional leadership could bring to the morale and success of her business, and ultimately led to a new direction in her leadership style. Being conscious in leading teams means that doing the right thing always takes priority over profits. It means knowing that there is always a way to make money and still do great things for your people. Transforming your organization is easier said than done, but Karen has given us valuable insight for success: ● Leaders have an obligation to do better ● Metrics are not the bottom line ● Constantly revisit your values Being a conscious leader gives you the license to be you. Make this year the opportunity to embrace all forms of growth and ride on this effort to move up.
