The Entrepreneur's Wallet Lexington Wealth Management

Our guest today is a very special one for me. MaryBeth Gustittus is the founder of Mile 1 Performance Coaching. And yes, this is not a training company, it is a business coaching company. MB has spoken to hundreds of people about their motivation, what drives them, what keeps them up at night when owning a business, the little details that matter for motivation of staff. 
 
The way she came to start her second business was through a very personal experience which she shares during the conversation. MB, as most people know her, really brings positive energy everywhere she goes, whoever she talks, but never ever losses the grip on how to motivate people towards their goals. That last aspect, is what has made her very successful first at her previous RE company in NH, and now as a business coach.
 
UPDATE: This interview was recorded a couple of years ago. Since then MB has gone through really dramatic times as her home fully burned down a few months after the interview. MB and her family all survived and decided to rebuild their home with full visibility to everyone. Follow her on FB to learn more about her amazing story.

Our guest today has had quite the life. Jason Friedman, is really a one of kind. He is the CEO of CXFormula, a company that focuses on customer experience. Yes, he is a successful entrepreneur and yes, he follows his passion, but behind the obvious public persona, Jason has had to experience an amazing journey to be where he is today.

 
He faced success in a way many listeners would find annoying ….too fast. He was very good at what he did, became known within his niche and suddenly was very successful. For everyone not aware of Jason’s background, he was the person responsible for how concerts make you feel, from sound to lighting to the overall experience of people attending concerts. He worked with big bands such as Rush. He was a groupie to a level, but with a knowledge beyond his years in technical aspects about the experience. 
 
In our conversation we dug in his personal struggles after selling his company. He shared experiences from the dark days after selling and having nothing to do, that pushed him to the edge of thinking about his life's purpose, to how he has found passion teaching other leaders about the amazing power that creating an experience has for their clients/customers.
 
I encourage all of you to listen to the entire conversation, it is full of turns and very vulnerable moments.

In our opening episode for the Entrepreneur's Wallet we chatted with Dave Will. Dave is the current CEO & Founder of PropFuel and the former CEO of Peach Media. He sold that company in 2015 and he did not hold anything back when sharing what that meant for him. He has a very unique quality to tell stories and that comes through within seconds of the interview. If you want to hear the insights of what is like to sell your business and experience what the moments after felt like, this is a must listen. Please leave your comments and we encourage you to share this episode with anyone you think is going through that process.

Thanks for listening!

Our guest entrepreneur for this week is Robert Glazer. Bob is the founder and current managing director at Acceleration Partners, a fast growing affiliate marketing company. He’s also the founder of Brandcycle, which as you will hear during the conversation, has made him a more strategic and nimble entrepreneur. Bob's perspective on how to manage culture, company's growth, and happiness are all interrelated. That is what makes him a very unique leader. He lives that mantra and has made his company a top company to work for in the United States. 
So sit back, buckle up, and get ready for a riveting conversation about happiness, managing risks as your company grows, the importance of partnerships with accountability and managng your personal and professional life as a CEO in preparation to the next phase.
