Sarah shared insights from her experience working on international PR campaigns, discussed the challenges she faced, and highlighted the key individuals who have played a significant role in her journey. It’s a grand season finale episode you don’t want to miss! Takeaways: Successful entrepreneurship often hinges on aligning your passion with your skillset, ensuring sustained motivation and tenacity through challenges. Surrounding yourself with supportive and influential individuals, such as mentors, family, and business partners, can significantly impact your professional journey. For communicators, especially in PR, it’s crucial to measure the impact of your efforts to demonstrate value and refine strategies for better results. Scaling a business, particularly when targeting larger enterprise brands, requires overcoming numerous challenges and maintaining a strategic approach to growth. Confidence in your abilities and the value of your offerings is vital in driving sales and sustaining business growth, especially during tough times. Investing in customer retention and focusing on the customer experience can be more impactful than merely concentrating on acquiring new clients. Engaging with resources like influential books and professional organizations (e.g., EO) can provide valuable insights and support continuous personal and business development.

Jon joins host Sarah Tourville to share his insights on understanding and respecting time limitations, trusting and empowering his team members, and providing coaching support!

Takeaways: Jon acknowledges the importance of understanding and accepting the limitations of time. This realization is crucial for leaders and communicators as it helps them set realistic expectations and prioritize tasks effectively. It is crucial to trust others and lean on them. Leaders should trust their team members and delegate tasks to them appropriately. Trust fosters collaboration, enables efficient teamwork, and allows individuals to contribute their skills and expertise. A leader of a team should not only trust their team members but also coach and mentor them. By providing guidance and support, leaders can help their team members develop their skills and grow professionally, enhancing the overall performance of the team. No one can handle everything on their own, so team leaders need to delegate responsibilities to capable team members. Delegation not only distributes the workload but also empowers team members to take ownership and contribute to the success of the organization. Quote of the Show: “We all need people.

Today’s guest has over 20 years of marketing, business development, and management experience!

Please welcome to the show Joe Koufman, Co-founder at ChooseATL and Founder & CEO of SetUp! Joe joins host Sarah Tourville to share how he valued his early support and confidence to sustain his company. Learn with Sarah about Setup’s distinctive business model and the importance of customizing marketing solutions! Takeaways: Joe hired someone right away, even though some found it risky without ensuring the business's viability. He understood early on that he needed support and was confident in sustaining both his family and an additional salary. It was the right decision in the end. There were a few people who helped Joe spark the start of his own company, including Kelly Deen, Jeff Hilimire, and Genevieve Bos. It is important to recognize and acknowledge the people who have supported and influenced your journey. Leaders should be open to providing guidance and support to others in their industry. Building a strong network of mentors and colleagues is one way to gain valuable insight and assistance in professional endeavors. Being actively involved in professional networks like EO can also lead to fruitful connections and collaborations. Launching Marketing Ecosystem Consulting has helped Setup to enhance client marketing resources and partnerships, serving both a Fortune 500 company and a global hotel chain. The key is to customize the ideal marketing mix for each client through stakeholder interviews, visioning, and roadmap development, while also identifying agency needs to address any gaps. Setup’s business model stands out from the competition. While competitors include search consultants and business development experts, they serve as matchmakers connecting clients and agencies, making the process enjoyable. Helping clients clarify their marketing challenges and forge successful partnerships with agencies is what brings success. Public relations has been key to Setup’s success, leading to outstanding press coverage. Their annual marketing survey was featured in Ad Age and Fast Company, boosting inbound interest and website traffic. The same success is expected with their upcoming fifth survey.

The Podcast Passion with Casey Cheshire - Taking Flight: EO Atlanta Podcast - Episode # 029 46:26

منذ 1 year46:26

46:26

Today’s guest is a marketing strategist, entrepreneur, author, and podcast host! Please welcome to the show Casey Cheshire, Founder & Chief Evangelist of Ringmaster Conversational Marketing. Casey joins host Sarah Tourville to share how Ringmaster prioritizes company culture, establishes authentic connections with clients, and how his own passion for podcasting was accidentally discovered and led to the founding of the company. It’s a fantastic episode you don’t want to miss! Takeaways: Casey learned that his first flight was all about passion. Not giving much attention to the logical side, he realized he was burning the candle, but it didn't feel like it. This is where, accidentally, he found his passion, which led to starting the company. Ringmaster strives to grow their team to where members feel like partners. During the hiring process, the company’s vision is shared with potential candidates. If it resonates with them, great! If not, then it’s not the right fit. The company looks for passionate individuals that are just as excited about the mission and vision as they are. After more than a decade in marketing automation, Casey’s recognized the need to reassess its impact and understanding of clients. Marketers often become obscured by technology, losing sight of serving real people, and reducing them to mere data points. Ringmaster is committed to forging deeper connections with customers by understanding their needs and challenges. The motivation comes from Casey’s experience, where he had to launch his podcast without expert guidance, resulting in extensive trial and error. It is important to empower entrepreneur visionaries to realize their vision by connecting them with their existing customers. This vital connection often goes unnoticed in sales materials, but plays a significant role in bridging the gap and will help ensure authentic engagement. Ringmaster helps clients connect with their dream clients through podcast interviews, fostering genuine connections, and valuable exposure. This aligns with the company's mission, making podcasting a powerful tool for business development. Quote of the Show: “Our company’s core purpose is to foster meaningful human connections.” - Casey Cheshire Links: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/caseycheshire/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/CaseyChesh Company Website: https://ringmaster.com/ Personal Website: https://caseycheshire.com/ Book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1599327384 Podcast: https://www.hardcorpsmarketing.com/ | https://www.creatingthegreatestshow.com/ EO Atlanta Organization: https://www.eoatlanta.com/ Ways To Tune In: Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/1035225 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4e67LgZSZ0Vc2anrFzN8A1 Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/taking-flight-the-entrepreneurs-journey-podcast/id1652695640?uo=4 Google Podcast: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy9jNjJkNzk4OC9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw== Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/82088400-c5a3-413c-9692-4719c8f1fd67/taking-flight-eo-atlanta-podcast Podcast Addict: https://podcastaddict.com/podcast/taking-flight-the-entrepreneurs-journey-podcast/4496468 Deezer: https://www.deezer.com/show/6138535 Player FM: https://player.fm/series/series-3482373 Podchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/taking-flight-the-entrepreneur-4968156 YouTube: https://youtu.be/TJosmpZzMHo Taking Flight is produced and sponsored by Ringmaster, on a mission to create connections through B2B podcasts .

Smaller communities make it easier to connect with neighbors, and even in larger places like Atlanta, Arden’s Garden made connections. Feeling a strong bond with East Point created a beneficial synergy due to their support. Initially, their involvement was reluctant, but it eventually became mutually rewarding. Many people lack clarity on how to be healthy and where to find the right foods and drinks. Arden’s see’s a significant opportunity to support individuals in their journey towards improved health, as they witness their commendable efforts in our stores every day. Leslie was inspired by a friend to join in on a three day juice cleanse. This is rejuvenative and brings more energy, optimism, and mental clarity. Juice cleanses can reignite one’s commitment to health, even during times of wavering. Arden’s Garden provides in-store education and collaborates with local organizations like the Urban Farm. Due to COVID, the plans for cooking classes were disrupted. Now, the company is planning to offer free cooking classes to empower people to prepare healthy meals for themselves. A five-year partnership with customer-centric Publix led to expansion from 40 to 200 stores, turning initial setbacks into blessings. Arden’s 28-year journey has seen consistent growth fueled by top-notch products and service.

Coding Chronicles - Randy Etheredge - Taking Flight: EO Atlanta Podcast - Episode # 027 32:51

Today’s guest is an Emmy Award-winning software engineering veteran! Please welcome to the show Randy Etheredge, Partner of R&Y Labs. Randy joins host Sarah Tourville to share his software engineering journey and how he has used his business and partnership to create a positive impact in the world of technology! Takeaways: Recognizing the value of a business partner is an essential asset unappreciated by some. While certain entrepreneurs thrive as independent leaders, the collaborative expertise of a partner often proves indispensable in achieving exceptional results. The Entrepreneurs Organization serves as an outlet for discussing issues unsuitable for casual conversation. These encompass concerns like lagging AR, sourcing new deals, organizational efficacy, and the imperative to synchronize efforts. R&Y Labs strives to scale a strategic process that is vital for maximizing value creation. The goal is to navigate valuable choices despite costs, aligning pricing with the value they add to scaling. Dedication to value shapes a client-focused approach, optimizing ideas for business success. One of the key challenges and responsibilities of effective leadership is providing individuals with the room to navigate their path. Being there to support them when they encounter setbacks is crucial. This support and guidance are fundamental aspects of leadership, fostering growth, and resilience. Failures are opportunities for learning rather than mere mistakes. By extracting lessons from unsuccessful attempts, there is room to improve and avoid repeating errors. While occasional missteps are acceptable, a recurring pattern calls for change and adaptation. FinTech, one of R&Y Labs’ specialties, is a continuous journey to build a practice centered on excellence and contribution. The overarching goal is to elevate the likelihood of products achieving product-market fit by a 10x margin, propelling commitment forward. As the world of technology rapidly evolves, it is also diving into a state of transmutation that is uncertain. With artificial intelligence’s rapid advancement, it is continually reshaping the cutting-edge, with today's innovation quickly becoming tomorrow's norm. Quote of the Show: “It’s really important to me that we scale in a way that creates maximum value for our customers.” - Randy Etheredge Links: Randy’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/randy-etheredge-68543a23/ Ninety’s Website: https://www.ninety.io/?utm_source=linkedin.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=company_profile R&Y Labs Website: https://www.rylabs.io/ EO Atlanta Organization: https://www.eoatlanta.com/ Ways To Tune In: Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/1035225 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4e67LgZSZ0Vc2anrFzN8A1 Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/taking-flight-the-entrepreneurs-journey-podcast/id1652695640?uo=4 Google Podcast: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy9jNjJkNzk4OC9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw== Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/82088400-c5a3-413c-9692-4719c8f1fd67/taking-flight-eo-atlanta-podcast Podcast Addict: https://podcastaddict.com/podcast/taking-flight-the-entrepreneurs-journey-podcast/4496468 Deezer: https://www.deezer.com/show/6138535 Player FM: https://player.fm/series/series-3482373 Podchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/taking-flight-the-entrepreneur-4968156 YouTube: https://youtu.be/5OWDc5FrFDw Taking Flight is produced and sponsored by Ringmaster, on a mission to create connections through B2B podcasts .

The Fungal Frontier - Howard Berk - Taking Flight: EO Atlanta Podcast - Episode # 026 39:31

Today’s guest is a sustainable and benevolent small business owner! He has been named by the state of Georgia as a 2023 Small Business ROCK STAR and has made a huge impact on the local community, economy, and environment. Please welcome Howard Berk, President & Co-Founder at Ellijay Mushrooms and Co-Owner at 2funguys. Howard joins host Sarah Tourville to share his new journey in the agricultural field. Learn with Sarah about his business, partnerships, and all things mushrooms! Takeaways: A good foundation starts with people believing in you. It is valuable to surround yourself with people who have the same work ethic and to confide in people who give you the tools to succeed. The relationships should be uplifting, not discouraging. Reply to emails regardless of who you are or where you're based. If you know someone in the industry, share their contact. Though no promises are made, sharing a contact can be impactful, especially when faced with unanswered emails. Persist in finding someone to engage with. When growing something fresh, a major challenge is the limited shelf life. From harvest to spoilage, time is constantly ticking. As supply increases, you must secure pathways for distribution to continue expanding and identifying more high-volume sales outlets. Mushrooms usually contain 92% moisture. In Atlanta, the ideal weather pattern for their growth involves warm days, cool nights, and rain, triggering their fruiting. The mycelium is always present, and these conditions bring forth their magic. It is essential to be cautious when foraging, as distinguishing edible from toxic varieties is crucial. Currently, Ellijay Mushrooms lacks the necessary tools to precisely control temperatures. By investing in a 40-foot smart container, it is set to elevate its capabilities as it can grow 26 different types of mushrooms at one time. This will enable product diversification and improved growth timing. Having a 40-foot smart container on display in a hotel is a vision that Ellijay Mushrooms has. This container holds potential for food-deprived areas running on solar panels. With its Wi-Fi connectivity, it will be sure to cultivate exceptional produce for the local community. Ellijay Mushrooms focuses on providing nutritious food, dispelling misconceptions about mushrooms, and raising awareness about their farm to educate people about food origins and the effort behind it. This approach leads to broader partnerships, even with larger retailers or chains that share similar values. Quote of the Show: “Time is special. If we use it to gain knowledge, then that's a huge win for everybody.” - Howard Berk Links: Howard Berk’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/howardberk-mushrooms/ Ellijay Mushrooms’s Website: https://www.ellijaymushrooms.com/ 2funguys’s Website: https://2funguys.com/ Ellijay Mushrooms’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/ellijaymushroom Entrepreneurs Organization: https://www.eoatlanta.com/ Ways To Tune In: Stitcher : https://www.stitcher.com/show/1035225 Spotify : https://open.spotify.com/show/4e67LgZSZ0Vc2anrFzN8A1 Apple Podcast : https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/taking-flight-the-entrepreneurs-journey-podcast/id1652695640?uo=4 Google Podcast : https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy9jNjJkNzk4OC9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw== Amazon Music : https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/82088400-c5a3-413c-9692-4719c8f1fd67/taking-flight-eo-atlanta-podcast Podcast Addict : https://podcastaddict.com/podcast/taking-flight-the-entrepreneurs-journey-podcast/4496468 Deezer : https://www.deezer.com/show/6138535 Player FM : https://player.fm/series/series-3482373 Podchaser : https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/taking-flight-the-entrepreneur-4968156 Transistor: https://share.transistor.fm/s/ea3d6587 Taking Flight’s YouTube: https://youtu.be/yONRljtFI_c Taking Flight: EO Atlanta is produced and sponsored by Ringmaster, on a mission to create connections through B2B podcasts.
