#146 - John Matheson, CEO of Leverage Apr 24, 2020

Show notes

John Matheson is the CEO of Leverage, a finance software designed to help
business owners and commercial property investors make more informed
financing decisions. This software that John has created allows users to
calculate transaction data against today's standard commercial underwriting
guidelines and determine the likelihood of a funding request getting approved.
With Leverage, John hopes to not only educate business owners, commercial
property investors, and entrepreneurs, but also to give them a sense of
empowerment before walking into a bank.
John joins me to discuss his background, the relationship between the banker and the business owner, how his software adds value by reducing barriers between that relationship, lending in this PPP and SBA loan/pandemic environment, his thoughts on the importance of family, and his best practices for success!

#140 - Jen Sugermeyer, author of RESET Apr 01, 2020

Show notes

In this episode Champ'Ron speaks with Jen Sugermeyer who is an author, life coach, highly touted speaker. And boy does she have an inspiring story!
Jen Sugermeyer is an author who just released her debut book, RESET. Inside she highlights the building blocks to do a hard RESET in your life and business. For the last 15 years, she has worked in corporations around the globe; Washington, DC, Afghanistan, Virginia, California, Texas, and even spent a few years in Italy. But throughout all of this corporate success, Jen had a secret; one she kept for over two decades -- she was leading a double-life before everyone’s eyes and was slowly dying inside. Struggling with addiction, and in and out of jails and hospitals, Jen’s life was entirely unmanageable. She was able to keep her corporate life isolated, but knew she was playing with fire and that it wouldn’t be long until her hidden life would be exposed at the office.
Today, with strength, help along the way and plenty of determination she eventually beat her demons and now is dedicated to helping others do the same.
Enough is Enough! Time to R.E.S.E.T Our Corporate Lives:
Recognize - Recognizing and committing to change in the business space
Eliminate - Eliminate what’s been holding you down and keeping you from happiness in your workplace
Structure - Structure your mind and life to create a bulletproof lifestyle that will propel you into success
Elevate - Elevate your life to new heights by uncovering your purpose

Bio:
Jodie Hopperton is a British media executive based in Los Angeles. In a career spanning more than 15 years, she has worked with technology start ups in addition to corporate roles with Trinity Mirror and the New York Times. She has also worked with nonprofits such as the World Association of Newspapers and the Global Editors Network. She lived in Paris, Madrid and London before moving to Los Angeles in 2015, where she founded FORE:media in the belief that Los Angeles has become every bit as inspiring as Silicon Valley – probably more so. Realizing that Los Angeles isn’t an easy city to understand, she wrote Los Angeles Reinvented to demystify it and to convey to the wider world the scale and depth of the innovation taking place here.
About Los Angeles Reinvented:
Why innovators are moving south of Silicon Valley to the booming home of Hollywood. In recent years Los Angeles has become a major force in innovation. Hollywood’s storytelling roots, production expertise and talent pool have intertwined with technology to make LA the biggest gaming, video and AR/VR hub in the world.
Los Angeles is fundamentally different from any other city and a challenging place to navigate, whether you are a tourist or an industry professional. Jodie Hopperton, a leading British media executive, set about demystifying the secret of LA’s innovation success by recording the fascinating stories of top executives from Disney, BAFTA LA, Westfield, Soylent, Riot International and Homeboy industries, as well as the founders of cutting-edge new companies. It focuses on industries that Los Angeles excels in, including media, entertainment, music, gaming, food, health & wellness, retail, transport and aerospace, Jodie interviewed over 100 executives that have made LA their home.
On a journey to the heart of LA’s innovation scene, find out how a 15 year-old boy took a simple family recipe and turned it into a $600 million industry; why your breakfast croissant may have come from an ex-gang member; how a follicly-challenged CEO built a personalized hair colouring company that has taken the world by storm; which company really invented the drive-thru (clue: it wasn’t McDonalds) and why the number 405 can be used as a swear word.
