AB 391: Good Comes First with Chris Edmonds and Mark Babbitt Mar 22, 2022

There's a "quiet revolution" happening in businesses of all sizes according to today's guests. Employees now realize they have a voice and aren't satisfied with "classic industrialized working environments." But what do employees want? A company that does good, according to Mark Babbitt and Chris Edmonds. They recently co-authored the book, "Good Comes First: How Today's Leaders Create an Uncompromising Company Culture that Doesn't Suck." Mark and Chris say company culture was mostly ignored by past generations, but it's important to millennials and Gen Z. If bosses don't create a culture employees value, younger workers will leave, and not think twice about it. They add, younger workers’ behavior is making an impression with other workers, who are more willing to leave bad culture as well. So, how do you build a good culture? Chris and Mark have some ideas. You'll have to listen to this episode and find out.

A small, tasty change can make a huge difference in your health. It's not only a mantra for today's guest -- Brittany Fuisz used it as the foundation of her business, Malibu Mylk. Brittany wanted to get pregnant and wasn't having any luck. After her doctor recommended an elimination diet, she began researching the ingredients of popular milk alternatives. Not only did she find out they weren't healthy but discovered the damage nut and oat milks were doing to the environment. Brittany leaned on her culinary degree and got to work. Her research led her to flax seed. During the conversation, Brittany told Jeffrey how the company started, why flax, and how pivoting during the pandemic inspired a new product line. Brittany calls Malibu Mylk's new drinks "the number one way to go number two." If you're intrigued, listen to this episode of "All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett."

AB Replay: Ugly Racial Secrets Revealed with Ret. Sgt. Cheryl Dorsey and Dr. Jeffrey Gardere Feb 26, 2021

In today’s All Business With Jeffrey Hayzlett we revisit an episode from last summer.

Racism, police brutality, and brutal honesty. This episode of “All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett” tackles the biggest issue right now with the help of co-host Rolonda Watts.

First, we get an inside glimpse of one of the largest police

departments in the country. Retired LAPD Sergeant Cheryl Dorsey, who worked all

four bureaus in Los Angeles, talks about how the culture inside police

departments starts at the top. She added why minorities don’t want to call the

police and how her philosophy “I care, but I don’t” helped her deal with the

stress of the job. Sgt. Dorsey mentioned how every police department has a

“Billy Bad Ass” and why she thinks the movement to ‘defund’ the police is

missing the mark. If you really want to change your community’s police department,

Sgt. Dorsey says there’s one thing you can do that has nothing to do with

money.

Dr. Jeffrey Gardere joins us for the second half of the show.

Known as “America’s Psychologist” for his numerous TV appearances, Dr. Jeff

talked about what all this racial unrest is doing to the nation’s psyche. Dr.

Jeff says while we need to be honest about how we feel, this time feels

different. There’s a diversity to the protesters you don’t often see. He

believes the feelings on the streets might get uglier before it gets better,

especially with the election coming up, but we must continue the forward

momentum for equality. Dr. Jeff was honest himself, talking about the

differences between white and black America and some of the things he does

personally not to stand out.

AB Replay: The Last Taboo We’re STILL Not Talking About with Frank Cooper III Feb 23, 2021

There are many topics that are considered taboo -- sex, politics, and religion are the most notable. However, there is another topic that we're still not talking about: wealth! Many associate as a domain for only those with money, but that couldn't be further from the truth. On today's episode, Jeffrey speaks to Frank Cooper III, Chief Marketing Officer at BlackRock, and he's a believer that more people should experience financial well-being. With money being the #1 stressor, he believes people aren't being taught to talk about money and how to manage it, spend it, or save it.

They also spoke about Frank's career trajectory -- from DefJam,

Motown, PepsiCo, Buzzfeed, and now BlackRock. He talked about the nuggets he

took from each of these companies and how influential culture is to everything

from culture to branding. After all, culture eats strategy for lunch.

AB 320: Elevated Economics with Richard Steel Feb 16, 2021

Consumer habits have changed considerably over the years. No longer are they persuaded to purchase a product because they saw it on TV or saw an ad elsewhere. They make decisions with their pocketbooks and they also want the products they buy to reflect their values.

On this episode of All Business, Jeffrey talks with Richard Steel, CEO of Parsec Ventures and author of the book, “Elevated Economics” addressing conscious consumerism. Richard tells us why this isn’t a trend, what companies are maximizing opportunities and capitalizing on them, and even leaves us all with some homework.

In this hyper-partisan climate, companies also have to realize that their brand’s opinion does matter and management needs to be comfortable with how that position plays in public..

AB 256 Live! Ugly Racial Secrets Revealed with Ret. Sgt. Cheryl Dorsey and Dr. Jeffrey Gardere Jun 16, 2020

Racism, police brutality, and brutal honesty. This episode of “All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett” tackles the biggest issue right now with the help of co-host Rolonda Watts.

First, we get an inside glimpse of one of the largest police departments in the country. Retired LAPD Sergeant Cheryl Dorsey, who worked all four bureaus in Los Angeles, talks about how the culture inside police departments starts at the top. She added why minorities don’t want to call the police and how her philosophy “I care, but I don’t” helped her deal with the stress of the job. Sgt. Dorsey mentioned how every police department has a “Billy Bad Ass” and why she thinks the movement to ‘defund’ the police is missing the mark. If you really want to change your community’s police department, Sgt. Dorsey says there’s one thing you can do that has nothing to do with money.

Dr. Jeffrey Gardere joins us for the second half of the show. Known as “America’s Psychologist” for his numerous TV appearances, Dr. Jeff talked about what all this racial unrest is doing to the nation’s psyche. Dr. Jeff says while we need to be honest about how we feel, this time feels different. There’s a diversity to the protesters you don’t often see. He believes the feelings on the streets might get uglier before it gets better, especially with the election coming up, but we must continue the forward momentum for equality. Dr. Jeff was honest himself, talking about the differences between white and black America and some of the things he does personally not to stand out.

AB 254 Live! Bonus Episode -- From the Gridiron to the Boardroom with Bret Lockett and Tom Flick Jun 13, 2020

On the field and in the boardroom, everyone has their job to do and teamwork contributes to the overall success of the company and the team.

Earlier this week, former NFL players Bret Lockett and Tom Flick joined the C-Suite Network for a digital discussion on the parallels in leadership between business and football.

Defense takes the field first. Bret Lockett is a former NFL safety who played under Bill Belichick on the New England Patriots for three years. Coach Belichick is known for creating a system where everyone is assigned their job and does it to the best of their abilities. Once everyone on the team buys into that mindset, success is soon to follow. Bret says business is no different. He talked to Jeffrey about current events, Black Lives Matter, and his true feelings on the National Football League’s response to it all.

Next comes the offense with Quarterback Tom Flick. Tom spent parts of his career backing up Hall of Fame quarterbacks Dan Fouts and Joe Theismann. He wasn’t just a student of the game, he became a student himself, learning from some of the biggest names in leadership. Tom says people want to be inspired and lead. He also told Jeffrey that in business, most managerial mindsets are stuck in the last century, adding that the best way to become a great leader is to observe great leaders, have humility, and become a lifelong learner.

AB 253 Live! Happing Camping: KOA is Open for Business with Toby O’Rourke

Summer is here and Americans are ready to go on vacation and for many that means camping.

Today, Jeffrey was joined by KOA President & CEO, Toby O’Rourke, to talk about the changes the camping industry has faced and why they’ll become an essential part in the nation’s recovery. Toby says it’s a timeless business, but its constantly changing. One family’s tent could be another family’s glamped-out RV. But KOA doesn’t just cater to what you think of traditional campers. The campgrounds play a vital role to traveling workers from healthcare to construction. She also talks about how KOA navigated the COVID-19 pandemic and the unusual shift KOA found itself in during quarantine.

AB 252 Live! The Tortoise and the Hare: Negotiation vs. Acceleration Jun 11, 2020

Business moves fast, but the most important things take the most time. In this episode of All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett, we hear from two business experts with different approaches.

The COVID-19 pandemic jump-started change, including some of the largest businesses and brands. Our first guest knows this first-hand. Tara Walpert Levy is the Vice President of Agency and Brand Solutions at Google and YouTube. She says the pandemic didn’t create trends, it accelerated them. For example, she says many companies toyed for years with digital transformation, only to end up plunging right in and going digital for survival sake. So, how do businesses know if these changes worked? She says that metric is as old as business itself. It all comes down to outcomes.

Our next guest says you’re always negotiating. Greg Williams is The Master Negotiator and is a world-renowned expert on negotiation and body language. Greg says whoever’s asking the questions is in control of the negotiation. Listen closely, Greg proves it during the interview and throws Jeffrey for a loop at the same time. He also tells you why you can’t go in the room looking for a deal and how important mindset is in those situations. If you need to close a big deal, this is a must listen.

Patrick and Jeffrey talk about some of the fast changes Walgreen’s staffers made during the pandemic, including what to do with 9 million red noses for the “Red Nose Day” fundraiser. Patrick also talked about how the pharmacist’s role at the stores has slowly changed from prescription filler to community builder.

Winning a Request for Proposal (RFP) can make or break many businesses. So how do you stand out? Lisa Rehurek based her business on it. Lisa is the Founder & CEO, The RFP Success Company and she helps companies win RFPs. Even she admits the process and the proposals themselves can be boring. Her advice: design the bones first and fill in the details later. Also, take advantage of the deadline timeline and speak their language. It’s also important to have everyone your team look at the proposal, because everyone is looking for something different. You don’t want to miss the smaller details.

While both Jeffrey and Tony have held many positions in business, there’s one title they both agree is the best one they’ve ever “earned”.

While Artificial Intelligence can scare some people today’s second guest says it shouldn’t. AI will help you get your “F’s up”. Not that kind of F. Chad Burmeister, the CEO of ScaleX.ai. explains to Jeffrey what the F stands for and you might be surprised. ScaleX.ai uses AI to help in the sales process. Before you think the robots are out for your job, Chad says humans are necessary, in fact he says human intervention is required to make it all work. Chad also tells Jeffrey how he stays optimistic and why you should too.

In this world of video calls, never forget that you’re always on camera. In today’s episode of All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett, we talk with two experts about never going off air, how to always act like you’re on camera and the impact it creates.

Influence is something you hear a lot about, but it’s more than people in your social media feed peddling products. Stacey Hanke, Founder & CEO, Stacey Hanke Inc., says there are levels of influence and it takes work to get to the level you need to be. True influencers have to be authentic and consistent – which falls in line perfectly with the “Monday to Monday” aspect of her book.

Brands across all industries are changing their messaging – giving the people what they want. You’ve seen the TV commercials pushing social responsibility in order to adapt to the current situation; however, some did it quicker while others lingered and scrambled to catch up.

Today’s first guest, Tom Edwards, Technology Evangelist at BlackFin360 and CMO for Tripleclix explains why it’s important for brands to get engaged at a time like this, and the connection between behavior, marketing, and authenticity. Jeffrey and Tom also talk about video games, how tech is changing our lives, and how it could change our environment (not birds and trees) in the not so distant future.

Podcasting is a great way to get your message out there and few people know more about podcasting than Chris Krimitsos, founder of Cutting Edge Events. He runs PodFest, one of the country’s largest podcasting conventions. Like many businesses, Chris is pivoting from in-person to online events, while also trying to experiment with the online format. Jeffrey and Chris get into what it takes to start a podcast, why now is a good time to do so, and the biggest mistake podcasters make.

AB 236 Live! Igniting Change with Mary Lue Peck and Dr. Jeffrey Magee May 19, 2020

CChange is in the air.

Today’s first guest is Mary Lue Peck, CEO of the National Speakers Association (NSA). Her job is to build, maintain, and grow the professional speaking community as well as be receptive to change – leading with yes. NSA is changing its business model to be adaptable for the world we now live in. Mary Lue says we need to think of all big events, virtual and in person as more than an 8-hour daily lecture series. Despite admitting they have fallen behind attracting more Millennials and Gen Z’ers, they’re changing that to entice younger professionals interested in pursuing a speaking career.

Speaking of the next generation, today’s second guest has some advice for them: “sit down, shut up and listen up.” Dr. Jeffrey Magee is not only a professional speaker himself, but a best-selling author, trainer, and publisher of Professional Performance Magazine. You better get comfortable for this interview because Dr. Magee talks fast and gives a lot of key insights. He says that following your passion won’t lead to success, that leaders can be developed, and that you need to truly understand the six hats a leader needs to wear to be successful.

AB 235 Live! Leadership, Lies and Learning with Bob Pizzini and Traci Brown May 18, 2020

You never stop learning and today’s guests are proof of that adage.

Bob Pizzini is a decorated naval officer who used to dismantle bombs throughout his 26 year career. Now, he’s a business owner and CEO of iFly Virginia Beach -- an indoor skydiving franchise, and helps train the next generation of leaders as CEO of Elevate Your Leadership.

Bob says it’s important that everyone on your team is aware of their level of responsibility and where they fit into the success of the operation. This doesn’t mean that leaders shouldn’t stop learning, Bob calls leadership a “perishable” skill. In fact, find out what skills Bob says all leaders should constantly brush up on.

Can you tell when you’re being lied to? Our second guest does. Traci Brown is a fraud-busting, body language expert who made a living interpreting the body language of criminals and politicians (and sometimes, they’re one in the same). While Traci doesn’t give away all her tools of the trade, she does lend us all some insight into how to spot a liar (HINT: you need to know which questions to ask). She also gives you a time-tested technique used by the best interrogators in the business to find out if a story is true. Traci also leaves us with a prediction about a very prominent politician.

AB 231 Live! Zig While Others Zag with Andy Lefkowitz and Linda Popky May 12, 2020

In business real success happens when you go against the grain. Both of our guests today on All Business saw the opportunities where others didn’t – and they reaped the benefits.

Agriculture is more than an idyllic vision of a green farm field. The industry itself isn’t the most environmentally friendly and has been impacted by a number of factors outside their control. Our first guest Andy Lefkowitz, Chairman and CEO of Locus Fermentation Solutions, a company that uses probiotics to help farmers grow crops. Locus is not just focused on farming, but in developing cleaner ways of getting oil out of the ground. Jeffrey and Andy talk about the benefits of going natural and going back to basics.

The second half of the show Linda Popky, President of Leverage2Market Associates, joins Jeffrey to talk about finding opportunities during the pandemic. Both Jeffrey and Linda agree now is the time to run into the fire, not sit on the sidelines, and now is the time to rise above the noise. While there may be more outlets than ever to get your message out, the basics of marketing are as old as time. Linda and Jeffrey also talk about the importance of writing a book, how to do it and how to use it strategically to build your brand.

AB 230 Live! Be a Positive Disruptor with Daniel Burrus and Becky Blue May 11, 2020

Today on All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett, we have two guests in different industries who are using the current climate of disruption for good.

Jeffrey’s first guest is futurist Daniel Burrus. He has built his business on disruption; in fact, he’s been working with companies across several industries since the pandemic started, telling them now is the time to hit the transform button. Digital Disruption isn’t taking a vacation during the pandemic and neither should your business. Daniel says the future is a “both/and” proposition not “either/or.” It’s time to look at the trends and move with them.

In the second part of the show, Becky Blue joins Jeffrey. She owns two wineries in the Napa Valley and weight loss franchises, Profile by Sanford, in the Nashville, TN area, among others. Becky talks about how one of her businesses uses the F.O.R.D. acronym to keep in touch with clients during the pandemic and why staying in touch with clients is key during this time. Even though COVID-19 is a trying time, this is a perfect time to communicate your value to your customers.

Whether you’re working from home or gearing up to get back in the office, today’s episode of “All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett” is all about getting your team on the same page.

We start with Meerah Rajavel the Chief Information Officer of Citrix. While the world shifted to a remote workforce nearly overnight, her team started working out the logistics a long time before the pandemic, the time-table just accelerated. The situation forced her team to get creative, fast; and also, some unexpected challenges. Meerah shared her four C’s of remote working and Jeffrey added a fifth C to the list.

Clint Padgett started the second half of the show talking about two other Cs, conversation vs. communication. Clint is the CEO of Project Success Inc., a company that advises teams on effective project management. He says communications could be anything -- a text, zoom chat or e-mail, but conversation happens face-to-face allowing for follow-up questions, and creating clarity for everyone involved.

We’re getting America back to work this week and both of these guests are taking roads to get there.

Keith Ferrazzi began redefining work since college and later became one of the youngest CMOs in Fortune 500 history. Now as the Founder and Chairman of Ferrazzi Greenlight, he helps teams work better together. The COVID-19 pandemic is teaching businesses of all types, in real time, how to be adaptable.

There are eight areas you need consider as you reboot to the new world of work and Keith covers most of them during this conversation.

Trade shows, expos, and conferences are at the heart of most companies’ business. Sales and connections made during these events are the lifeblood to many industries. Paul Van Deventer knows this first-hand, he is the President and CEO of Meeting Planners International (MPI), a group supporting the event industry. With the pandemic canceling big events all over the world, will the events industry look different when we re-open? Paul, says yes, but your favorite trade show isn’t moving entirely online.

AB 227 Live! Amazing Discoveries to Remain in Control with Evan Dash and Tina Greenbaum May 06, 2020

Business is a series of experiences we should learn from. If we stop learning, we fall behind.

Those are the themes behind both of today’s guests on All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett.

Today’s first guest is Evan Dash, CEO of StoreBound a company that sells small home appliances to stores nationwide and their slogan is “Happiness is Homemade.” Evan worked his way up through the retail ranks, eventually landing executive job at Macy’s before striking out on his own. Evan talks about why leaving corporate America was one the best decisions he ever made, why retail is still important and Jeffrey’s idea to take over the retail world.

Next, prepared to be grounded with Tina Greenbaum, CEO of Mastery Under Pressure. Tina trains everyone from CEOs to athletes to handle the stressors of performing in high-pressured situations. She also tells Jeffrey something we all need to remember -- not everything is in your control. Tina is a big believer of why we should never stop working on ourselves, even when times get tough, and answers the question, ‘who takes care of the caretaker?’

"Get Back to Work” week continues on All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett with two guests focusing on different ways companies should focus on getting ready to get back to business.

First, we hop into the F.A.S.T. lane with innovation expert Stephen Shapiro. It used to be that innovation was all about creating products, now it’s all about solving problems. COVID-19 is showing businesses there are a lot of questions out there and creative answers are needed to solve problems. Both Stephen and Jeffrey use F.A.S.T. as an adaptable acronym to get things moving, but have different interpretations. You’ll have to listen to find out what they agree the “F” stands for.

Today’s second guest, Allison Arden, reminds us all in the possibility of testing, exploring, and seeing everything with fresh eyes. Allison is the Founder & CEO of Soul + Co, a company that helps people and companies gain greater self-awareness through insights experiences, art, and soul. Allison and Jeffrey have a wide-ranging conversation about mixing profits, values, and creativity in business.

AB 225 Live! The New Rules of Engagement in Healthcare and Cybersecurity with Nelson Griswold and Matt Preschern May 04, 2020

We’re kicking off “Get America Back to Work” week with two heavyweights in their respective industries.

Healthcare is in the spotlight during the COVID-19 pandemic. We all know where to go if we need treatment, but few of us understand the complex healthcare ecosystem. Cost is a big concern for customers, employers, and hospitals and today’s first guest is trying to change that. Nelson Griswold is Managing Director, NextGen Benefits Network where he helps businesses get the coverage their employees deserve without breaking the budget. Hear why he thinks your business needs a healthcare “coach” and why he says despite all the talk, Washington isn’t interested in changing the system.

Another thing that’s evolving during the pandemic is cybersecurity. As the workforce moved home, a company’s data is more vulnerable than ever. In the second half of the show, Jeffrey is joined by Matt Preschern, CMO of ForcePoint, a world-wide cybersecurity firm. Matt and Jeffrey’s conversation goes beyond the idea of data privacy. They talk about economic safety, helping customers weather the storm, and how engagement and content are key elements in surviving the current business climate.

AB 224 Live! Timing is Everything with JJ Ramberg and Tim Gard May 01, 2020

In this episode of All Business, Jeffrey talks with two veterans of different industries, who happen to also be old friends, to talk about how timing is everything in business and comedy.

Long-time TV host, entrepreneur, and best-selling book author, JJ Ramberg, joins Jeffrey to talk about business. You may recognize JJ from her run as host of Your Business, the second longest running program in MSNBC history. Now that she’s away from the camera, JJ is focusing on her businesses, including her newest venture, GoodPods, an app that weaves together the popularity of podcasting and social media. JJ and Jeffrey talk about how GoodPods is hoping the solve the “what podcast should I listen to next?” problem, why podcasting is still a good medium to get and how entrepreneurship seems to run in her bloodline.

Next up on the show is NSA Hall of Fame Speaker, and funny man, Tim Gard. He is known for using storytelling and humor in his presentations to help audiences connect to his message.

AB 223 Live! The Wild, Wild West of Healthcare & Cybersecurity Apr 30, 2020

On today’s All Business Live! with Jeffrey Hayzlett, we tackle two issues in the headlines: healthcare and cybersecurity, both untamed frontiers in different ways.

Our first guest, Deb Ault, founder and president of AIMM (Ault International Medical Management) gives listeners a dose of reality on our current healthcare system. She says COVID-19 has turned healthcare into the wild, wild west creating pandemonium among business owners. She says that while not all of us will get sick, the expense of those who do could upend the entire system for employers and employees. So, what can be done? Become a more informed consumer. Business owners need to get smarter, too, by taking more control of their health insurance. Deb says with employers’ help, the healthcare system as we know it could be changed forever.

Our next guest is trying to wrangle a different corner of the modern wild west, the internet. John Sileo, CEO & President of The Sileo Group, had his identity stolen – twice! Once was personal. Once was business related. Both were severe in their own ways and the criminals were barely punished. These experiences pushed John into cybersecurity because, as he tells Jeffrey, nobody is taking cybersecurity seriously enough. He also offered some easy ways for people to protect themselves and their business from cyber threats.

AB 218 Live! IGYB and HALT – What does that mean? with Dr. Gary McGrath and Bob Pizzini Apr 23, 2020

Battleship week is coming to a close. We hope you’ve taken with you some key insights from highly-decorated, battle-tested military leaders. However, before we wrap, we have 2 great leaders sharing their keynotes with us about placing the mission first, never accepting defeat, never quitting, or leaving anyone behind and why it’s important to take care of ourselves to become better leaders.

Today we have Dr. Gary McGrath, CEO of Statarius & U.S. Army Veteran & Bob Pizzini, CEO of iFly Virginia Beach Indoor Skydiving and Retired EOD Officer, U.S. Navy.

Dr. Gary McGrath talked about how he was destined to be in the military, with a long line of family ties to all branches. He introduced Compassionate Accountability – which he defines as the ability to build relationships so we can achieve our goals together. He also tied the IGYB (I Got Your Back) mentality and why it’s important for your organization to adopt WGYB mindset. Listen to hear what ‘B’ stands for.

Next, Navy Veteran Bob Pizzini talked about the art and science of leadership covering the six key components of leadership. Some of them are obvious, others not so much. Bob also covers the one thing you can do everyone can do right as you wake up that will get your body ready to go. Hint: it doesn’t have anything to do with exercise, but exercise is an important part of Bob’s plan. He also explains why leaders should never make decisions when ‘HALT’ – find that what that means.

AB 182: The Role Digital Transformation Plays In Everyday Business Aug 16, 2018

Sudhir Kulkarni, President of Sales at Persistent Systems, sat down with host Jeffrey Hayzlett to talk about the current state of technology and what companies need to do to have a successful digital transformation. Kulkarni says that “disruption is here to stay and it will only keep enhancing and increasing,” but also emphasizes that humans aren’t being taken out of the equation. Moreso, humans are being made more intelligent by the use of machines, creating more of a hybrid approach to digital transformation. In order for digital transformation to have an impact on customers, companies need to create experiences that are immediate, interconnected and that involve the community. Kulkarni tells Hayzlett that companies need to engage with both their customers and employees in order to be more forward-thinking and that disruption will continue happening. He adds, “Either you disrupt to prevent going to an extinction mode or you disrupt to be able to go into a new market.”

Following the success of his prime-time show, C-Suite With Jeffrey Hayzlett, companies and events always want to know what is the secret behind the success of entrepreneurs and executives who can move mountains. "I’ve owned franchises, ran small businesses (and sold over 200 of them), and I have been the CMO of a Fortune 500 company. I’ve learned that in every business and in every industry, limitations exist everywhere - mostly in our minds and in the stories we tell ourselves. Getting past these limitations is hard work. My new book and keynote focus on the attitude we need to overcome the obstacles that face our businesses every day. No one is coming to save us, none of us will win the lottery. Everyone can think big, the art is in acting bigger.” - Jeffrey Hayzlett

First, members complete the sign-up page by indicating customizable style and sizing preferences. From there, professional stylists hand-select 5-14 pieces for moms to choose from, provide styling tips, and deliver a personalized box of curated brands straight to her doorstep. Members can then keep what they want and return the rest. More than an imperative resource delivering quality childrenswear to Moms, The Collective Child aims to make a lasting impact on the lives of busy mothers as they take on Motherhood and the challenges that entails, as well as promote the lifestyle of working Mothers and act as a community and resource of support.
