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.

She also talked about why promoting and championing women is a bipartisan issue and why measuring progress is more than just counting. Barbara also enlightened Jeffrey on an important equal-rights milestone coming up many of us may not know about.

Kimberly Roush joins Jeffrey in the second part of the show. She is the founder of All-Star Executive Coaching. While she is a coach herself, Kimberly admits she continues to lean on her coach for advice. In fact, she’s relied on her coach for nearly a quarter of her life. Kimberly is also a big believer in being BIG and explains what that means. Kimberly and Jeffrey also talk about the importance of networking. In fact, Kimberly calls it NETplaying, because she wants to take the work out of it!

Being dropped off in a strange city, with only $100, an old truck, and a smartphone during the peak of a global pandemic may sound like a strange plotline, but it was the reality for Elaine Culotti.

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.

Just in time for Valentine's Day, we're replaying a timely conversation from the past year.

On Valentine’s Day of 2018, Steve Bustin’s phone rang. The woman on the other end said, “You don’t know me, but I thought I knew you.” Steve later found out scammers used his social media pictures on several online profiles, including dating sites and Facebook. This sent the happily married man on a journey he never expected to embark on -- straight into the path of dating scammers. In fact, the BBC featured his story on the program For Love or Money last year. During this interview, Steve lays out the scammers' strategies and how to protect yourself from the most common gullibility test.

Profit over purpose is a false choice. According to today’s guest, you don’t have to choose – you can do both! Simon Mainwaring is the founder and CEO of We First, an agency that helps brands of all sizes find their identity. What does that mean? Simon says it’s hard for companies to know what they stand for “from inside the jar,” they need an outside perspective. He adds that one of the first things a brand needs to do is work out what it’s against, then they will know what it stands for. 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..

On this special episode of All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett, listen in to the complete interview between Jeffrey and Dr. Noa Kageyama captured during a recent C-Suite Network Digital Discussion.

When we think of who’s a high performer, our brains are programmed to think about athletes or c-level executives at the top of their game. Their margin of error is small, the fan base is vocal and stockholders are looking out for the bottom line. But, we should include musicians on this list as the hours of training, the level of skill, and the toll it can take on the psyche is a significant one.

Dr. Noa Kageyama, is a high-performance psychologist at the prestigious Juilliard School in NYC. He specializes in teaching musicians how to use sports psychology principles to thrive under pressure.

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.

AB 251 Live! Prescription for Winning with Patrick McLean and Lisa Rehurek Jun 10, 2020

With more than 9,200 stores, they are one of the largest drug store chains in the U.S. Today’s first guest, Patrick McLean is the CMO for Walgreen’s, meaning he runs all the marketing for the pharmacy giant. 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.

he phrase “yes, and…” isn’t just a pillar of improv theater, it should also form the foundation of your business according to today’s guest on All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett.

AB 249 Live! Disruption Junction: What's Your Function with Tony Hunter and Chad Burmeister Jun 08, 2020

On this episode of All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett we follow two different industries sharing one common theme: Disruption.

Our first guest is involved in one of the most disrupting businesses out there: cannabis. Tony Hunter is the chairman of Revolution Enterprises.

Besides the disruption of the cannabis industry, the pair talked about what it will take to get back to work and why you need to listen to your people if your office opens back up. 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.

AB 242 Live! Perfecting the Power of Polish with Shenan Reed and Stacey Hanke May 28, 2020

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.

Our first guest says the moment of caring is over and now it’s for businesses to help. Shenan Reed is the president of Publicis Media, where she helps manage media accounts for some of the most prestigious brands. Shenan and Jeffrey talk about how fast big brands are pivoting their messages, where consumers seem to be spending and why she sees advertising is a service. She also talks about how to get personal when we’re apart, how the economy and the pandemic is affecting women disproportionately, and why she’s optimistic for the future.

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.

AB 241 Live! Creating New Habits in Business and Health with Kevin Lombardo and Claudia Harvey May 27, 2020

Old habits may be hard to break, new habits might be even harder to start. Both of today’s guests talk about why breaking those habits are good for everyone.

Kevin Lombardo is the President & CEO of DORN Companies, a company focused on preventing injuries to keep people out of healthcare and worker’s comp. Kevin and Jeffrey start with a trip down memory lane (Kevin once hired Jeffrey!) and then get down to business to talk about health. Kevin thinks company wellness programs will be important in the post-COVID-19 world and explains why businesses need to think about the conditions affecting all workers -- even what “pre-existing condition” millennials bring with them to work.

Claudia Harvey gave up a successful career on Bay Street (Canada’s Wall Street) to become an entrepreneur. She is a Founding Partner and President of BG Wealth Group and inventor of Dig It Apparel, a line of gardening gloves exclusively for women. Claudia was about to launch a new product when COVID-19 hit.

AB 240 Live! Modern Day Gamers & Stoics with Chris Erb and Cristina DiGiacomo May 26, 2020

We look to the future for trends and look back at the past for wisdom in today’s episode of All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett.

If you think video games are just for kids, during the conversation Chris Erb, founder & Managing Partner at Tripleclix shows us all why its big business for everyone. He runs a marketing agency that brings brands and video games together and why it’s such a growing market that brands should be exploring further. They also cover the differences between gamers and e-sports, why Fortnite is bigger than the movies, and why messaging for gamers has to be authentic.

We switch from video games to ancient philosophy. Cristina DiGiacomo is the world’s first Industrial Philosopher and founder of MorAlchemy. She talked about how those old ideas are universal and remain relevant today. Cristina also introduced Jeffrey to the “mental clutter audit,” which she defines as taking look at what you’re worrying about, tracking it down and getting rid of whatever it is that’s worrying you. Cristina draws a distinct line between smart and wise and how it filters into one of Jeffrey’s mantras.

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.

AB 237 Live! How Tech & Podcasting Can Help Future-Proof Your Business with Tom Edwards and Chris Krimitsos May 20, 2020

Getting your message out there and staying authentic are important at any time, but especially now.

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. They also talked about the worry curve and how you can avoid it on your next project.

AB 228 Live! The Wide World of (Net)work with Keith Ferrazzi and Paul Van Deventer

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. Hear why Paul says the event industry is still relevant and how planners are finding ways to enhance, not replace, the in-person experience.

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?’

AB 226 Live! Moving F.A.S.T. Into the Unknown with Stephen Shapiro and Allison Arden May 05, 2020

"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. She says creativity is different for everyone and it’s not necessarily doing traditionally creative activities.

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. Tim and Jeffrey agree that good marketers always craft the story, why he’s funny, who his comedic idols are, and what type of humor he stays away from.

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.

Work is changing.

Millions are working from home, while others are looking for work. These are just some of the changes both of our guests deal with every day on the front lines of business.

Busy people stay busy, even in the midst of a slow-moving train wreck.

While both guests on today’s All Business Live with Jeffrey Hayzlett come from different perspectives, they shared similar messages.

Up first is George Brunt, founder of Business Legal Management.

Dr. Gleb Tsipursky the CEO of Disaster Avoidance Experts. Dr. Tsipursky is on a mission to protect leaders from making bad decisions due to their cognitive biases. He challenged Jeffrey right away by telling him not to trust your gut because it’s not well adapted for the modern world.

That theme forms the foundation of both guests on this episode of All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett.

Our first guest, Mark Boundy the CEO of Boundy Consulting and author of “Radical Value: Elevate Your Company – and Career – by Unleashing the Power Within Customer Centricity.” Jeffrey and Mark get real about how salespeople stink at understanding what a customer values, and those that do are on the sales varsity squad. This conversation is what every sales manager and on-the-street sales professional needs to hear.

For the second half of the episode, Jeff Pedowitz joins Jeffrey to talk about the importance of arming your sales team with the best information available that will help them get stuff done. Keeping with the theme of the show, they also talked about how you can’t rush the sales process and to be mindful of your customers purchasing plans.

AB 210 Live! Gotta turn those shoulds into musts with Brandon Steiner and Lincoln Scoffield Apr 13, 2020

Now is the time to turn your “should do” list into “must dos”.

Today’s first guest, Brandon Steiner, is a titan in the sports memorabilia world -- best known for buying the old Yankee Stadium and selling it piece-by-piece to collectors around the world. Brandon says now is the best time to reset your mindset, figure out what you might have missed, and find opportunities. He also says doing nothing during this pandemic isn’t an option for you or your business -- there’s always something you can do. Also, find out why Brandon says now is the best time to “turn the volume up on your faith, even though you can’t see it.”

For the second half of the show, Lincoln Scoffield, co-founder and partner in Vetted Partners joins Jeffrey to talk about ways to keep the cash flowing during these uncertain times.

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.”

He has climbed the Seven Summits by climbing the highest peaks of all seven continents. He also participates in many other extreme sports.

Brian's Blind Descent experience has been reenacted in television segments including the Christian Broadcast Network's 700 Club, the Weather Channel's Freaks of Nature, KING-TV and Brian was featured on CNN's Anderson Cooper, ABC's Good Morning America, CNN's New Day with Chris Cuomo, Huffington Post, Fox Business Varney & Co, Success Magazine, Redemption Movie Series, Weather Channel, American Survival Guide Magazine, Simple Grace Magazine, Charisma Magazine, Guideposts and more.

The Collective Child (www.TheCollectiveChild.com), a monthly subscription service delivering hi-lo contemporary price points childrenswear to busy moms is poised to enter 2018 with a loyal following of successful working moms looking for a fast, efficient way to clothe their children without sacrificing style.

The two best friends with over 15 years of fashion industry experience recognized a need to replace the traditional, laborious, and cold shopping experience for busy moms with a more intimate and convenient one. “We see every box as an opportunity to save mothers time,” stated co-founder Emily Khasidy. “Time that she can then repurpose, all while we deliver product with a look and feel that she is proud to dress her children in.”Entering its third year of operation The Collective Child’s loyal fan base continues to grow thanks to a consistent philosophy aimed at building a community of mothers surrounding a shared goal of convenient access to the best products for their children. “Our passion comes from our members and in understanding the importance of their time” stated co-founder Sandra Makarem. “To that end we are aiming to create memorable experiences through the thoughtful curation of clothing assortments in each box.” The Collective Child has developed a highly streamlined process. 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.
