Today’s guest grew up playing competitive golf. Raised In Fort Lauderdale, her parents would buy her plane tickets and send her all over the country to play in tournaments. Through this nomadic lifestyle (as she calls it) - she gained a real affection for employees in the hospitality industry.

As a teen, she was often at country clubs and courses where she didn’t know many people and the amazing workers at the club were often very kind to her and she gained much appreciation for how hard they worked. She had a very successful golf career as a Student-Athlete, she went on to play 1 year professionally in the LPGA.

After realizing playing golf for money wasn’t going to be her forever career - she went back to school earning her Masters in Accounting and becoming a CPA. She spent many years as a successful CPA in large Boston area firms, often sitting in meetings and realizing she didn’t love the impersonal nature of the big Agencies.

Her confidence and drive that she learned playing golf kicked in and she left the big agency world - founding her boutique accounting agency in 2015, where she is rewriting some accounting rules. The founder and Principal of the Largo Group - Anne Gannon.

Running the Bases today with Mark Mars & Adam Smith of Niche Website Builders. Niche Website Builders is an agency for people who want to create profitable content blogs.

Get ready for an enjoyable edition of the show - and an incredible story of serendipity.
As a small business owner, how often have you listened to an industry business podcast, realizing you have the same issues or perhaps some of the answers, or that you think I would just like to connect with the guest? Well, imagine that you did reach out, and then imagine that you and this podcast guest connected, and you realized that the two of you would make a great team to come up with solutions to the issues.

You form a company to help other small businesses—and begin with a handful of people—and you begin to grow your business. Then imagine that two years later, you have grown that business into a multi-million dollar, 170+ employee business. Along the way, they've assisted hundreds of other small business owners!

Well, our guests today don’t have to imagine any of this, because this is their story! Not only is all that we just mentioned true, but they founded their company in December of 2019, just a few months before the Pandemic.

Leveraging their legacy in document scanning and storage, they are making the mundane (but necessary!) steps to manage your company's books and prepare to file taxes simple - nice and Neat.

Our Guest today is the former President and CEO at The Neat Company in Philadelphia. He graduated from Cornell and dove into the Web Development and Product Management arenas. Eventually starting his own firm Walletron - after several years he exited and moved to lead the charge at The Neat Company.

We explore Garrett’s early jaunts in entrepreneurialism and what it takes to pivot an existing company into a new endeavor in a competitive niche.

By 2025, finance and accounting firms will lose 60% of their outsourcing contracts. Outsourced bookkeeping is on the decline because it takes control out of the hands of entrepreneurs. Instead, they should try automated bookkeeping to get a front-row view of their business’s financial health - in comes Neat!

Traderman is a privately owned Akron, OH based “boutique” distributor dedicated to selling an excellent variety of wines to restaurants, country clubs and wine shops throughout the state of Ohio. Luke Taylor started Traderman by recognizing the need for a small, focused boutique wine service that bridges the gap between vineyard and consumer.

Luke shares his story from Tennis Club owner to a complete pivot to Wine Distribution. His perspective on business and start-up is raw and refreshing. It gets real. “Just because you're selling more, doesn't mean you're making more.” “We sell on potential now, potential doesn't pay the bills, but potential keeps your mood positive. And I, and I think a lot of people look at numbers a little bit too much. You know, we're down 10%, 20% what's happening next month. And I always feel with it. It's not where you're at, where you're going.”

Luke has an engaging style and infectious humor - you’ll love his comments and quick quips. I think you’ll love the show!

Mon, 17 May 2021 03:00:00 -0400

Running the Bases today with Dave Ruel the CEO at Effic - an innovative leadership development company that helps busy entrepreneurs maximize their impact and freedom.

Following his “efficiency first” philosophy to entrepreneurial productivity and performance, Dave developed a powerful methodology that he sums up in the best-selling book Done By Noon - How To Achieve More By Noon Than Other Entrepreneurs In A Full Day.

Dave Ruel is a former competitive physique athlete turned serial entrepreneur, author, speaker, and leadership mentor.

After founding and growing multi-million dollar online companies in the field of health, fitness and sports nutrition for nearly a decade, Dave saw the dark side of entrepreneurship gradually rob him of his freedom, leaving him burned out and unfulfilled. Refusing to conform to a broken business culture that promotes workaholism and non-stop hustle, Dave created a sustainable structure and systems for his life and business to reclaim his freedom without sacrificing the growth of his companies.

We have a great time exploring entrepreneurship, priorities, and personal structure. We blend baseball and hockey and discover the real story behind “The Muscle Cook”.

WaterHigh® is a full lifestyle celebration of our relationship with and unyielding attraction to the water...an experiential brand to the fullest!

Through our conversation, we discover that WaterHigh® is not just another idea for a beachy themed t-shirt line conjured up in a late-night bar or bonfire. (But cheers to all of those!)

David shares his story of searching for the perfect "experiential" brand to embody our innate love of water….beach, sea, lake, river, and stream. The euphoria that water lends us all. He discovered it—then sent it off to the US Patent and Trademark office for their stamp of approval. Then, he began the development of creating unique and inspiring artwork and designs.

Growing a new business during a pandemic has its challenges. David speaks to inventory management issues, distribution, and sales channels - all difficult to expand or maintain when the world is shutting down. However, as David says “Confidence is everything. Ego is nothing. You have to have confidence. Believe in your abilities. Believing in your idea.”
