On this week’s episode of Taking Flight, Sarah Tourville had the pleasure of being interviewed by a guest host, Ethan King, former President of EO Atlanta! They delved into her journey into entrepreneurship, her passion for communications, and the vital importance of aligning skills with passion. 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.

Today’s guest is an experienced real estate agent who is passionate about helping others create wealth and a portfolio they can retire on. Please welcome to the show Samantha Hayes, CEO of Atlas Real Estate. Samantha joins host Sarah Tourville to share her passion for real estate, and strategies in building passive incomes and wealth through it. Learn with Sarah about Samantha’s experiences and issues women entrepreneurs face, rehabilitating properties, generating passive incomes, and her future business expansion plans! Takeaways: Samantha underscores the importance of building passive income streams. Through buying and flipping homes or building rental portfolios, she argues, entrepreneurs can achieve financial independence and leave a lasting legacy. Business owners need to strategically adapt to changing market conditions. Samantha draws from her own experiences within the real estate sector during times of high-interest rates and economic downturns. There is value of trust in business relationships. Samantha shares her lessons of expecting accountability from her team members and how a trust-based relationship with her operations manager improved her business process. Samantha uses intense focus on designing her life intentionally. She shares her method of setting clear personal and professional boundaries and goals, transforming those into reality, and achieving work-life balance. There is a challenge for female entrepreneurs, and they often face balancing assertiveness and empathy in professional settings. Samantha has navigated this dynamic by being authentic and unapologetically herself. Community memberships in such groups, like EO Atlanta, can provide a sense of belonging. It also enables members to learn from each other's experiences, and offer opportunities for mentorship. Samantha plans to double the number of rental doors and her goal of achieving a million dollars in passive income profit from these properties in three years to demonstrate her aggressive growth strategy.

Today’s guest has over 20 years of experience in his industry and has been a member of EO Atlanta since 2019. Please welcome to the show Jon Roman, Managing Partner at Transworld Business Advisors of Atlanta. 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! Learn with Sarah how Jon learned to delegate important tasks in the workplace to make an empowering impact. It’s an inspiring episode you don’t want to miss! 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! While being inspired to help marketers find agencies that are the most proficient in their respective disciplines, he has also received the AMA Atlanta - Jana Ferguson Mentorship Award and AMA Atlanta - Volunteer of the Year! 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.

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.

Today’s guest is an entrepreneur on her way to making nutrition healthier, accessible, and more affordable! Please welcome to the show, Leslie Zinn, Owner and CEO of Arden’s Garden. Leslie joins host Sarah Tourville to share her entrepreneurial journey of overcoming challenges and finding your purpose and passion. Learn with Sarah about Arden’s Garden’s commitment to food sustainability and connecting with the community! Takeaways: Leslie went through some bumps in the road on her entrepreneurial journey. Before joining the family business at Arden’s Garden, she was applying to medical schools. She learned that sometimes, you have to endure trials along the way to finding your purpose. In the commitment to sustainability, the company recently introduced two exciting initiatives over the past year: upcycling pulp into food products and partnering with an organic urban farm in East Point. 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.

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 .

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.
