"Trust the leaders you select, even if they lead differently than you" - MaryBeth "MB" Gustittus - Episode 4

Our guest today is a very special one for me. MaryBeth Gustittus is the founder of Mile 1 Performance Coaching. And yes, this is not a training company, it is a business coaching company. MB has spoken to hundreds of people about their motivation, what drives them, what keeps them up at night when owning a business, the little details that matter for motivation of staff. 

 

The way she came to start her second business was through a very personal experience which she shares during the conversation. MB, as most people know her, really brings positive energy everywhere she goes, whoever she talks, but never ever losses the grip on how to motivate people towards their goals. That last aspect, is what has made her very successful first at her previous RE company in NH, and now as a business coach.

 

UPDATE: This interview was recorded a couple of years ago. Since then MB has gone through really dramatic times as her home fully burned down a few months after the interview. MB and her family all survived and decided to rebuild their home with full visibility to everyone. Follow her on FB to learn more about her amazing story.

When your company becomes your identity - Jason Friedman - Episode 3

Our guest today has had quite the life. Jason Friedman, is really a one of kind. He is the CEO of CXFormula, a company that focuses on customer experience. Yes, he is a successful entrepreneur and yes, he follows his passion, but behind the obvious public persona, Jason has had to experience an amazing journey to be where he is today.

 

He faced success in a way many listeners would find annoying ….too fast. He was very good at what he did, became known within his niche and suddenly was very successful. For everyone not aware of Jason’s background, he was the person responsible for how concerts make you feel, from sound to lighting to the overall experience of people attending concerts. He worked with big bands such as Rush. He was a groupie to a level, but with a knowledge beyond his years in technical aspects about the experience. 

 

In our conversation we dug in his personal struggles after selling his company. He shared experiences from the dark days after selling and having nothing to do, that pushed him to the edge of thinking about his life's purpose, to how he has found passion teaching other leaders about the amazing power that creating an experience has for their clients/customers.

 

I encourage all of you to listen to the entire conversation, it is full of turns and very vulnerable moments.
