Acerca de esta escucha
A husband-and-wife team who were successful in their separate corporate careers share their story of starting a business from scratch and growing it to over $50 million in revenue, simultaneously taking their enterprise from Main Street to Wall Street.
Leaving the safety of a promising career and a steady paycheck, armed with less than $20,000 in savings, Ray and MarySue embarked on an entrepreneurial journey iterating their way to build a company that eventually employed thousands of people. Their journey in business paralleled the stages of growth of their family, parenting their children from toddlers to teenagers while shepherding their business from a start-up to a public offering. In the process, they created millions for themselves and their partners.
Over the course of 15 years, the entrepreneurial duo shared how they broke away from many traditional approaches and guidelines which enabled them to differentiate themselves and accomplish their breakthrough success and achieve their dream of financial freedom.
Are you considering starting your own company but not sure how to?
Have you wondered how you can take your business to the next level or when and how to sell it profitably?
This real-life entrepreneurial story depicts the journey of a lifetime of co-prenuers, who started from scratch, grew their business, and eventually took it public. Their rags-to-riches tale is told with both humor and humility. It will inspire you to take the leap of faith and guide you on your path to realize your dreams.

From the outside, being a landlord may look like an easy job. Once a month you greet your tenants, collect rent from them, and leave. Being a landlord is not as simple as it seems. Just like tenants have their share of responsibilities, so do you as their landlord and property manager. For first-time landlords, all of this can be very overwhelming.

Any group of people expected to work synergistically needs a system that structures their interactions. That system is “governance.” The Pragmatist’s Guide to Governance takes a first principles approach to exploring the ways governance structures affect the humans living under them (and vice versa), with a special focus on how human psychology interacts with the structures that facilitate our interaction with other people.

It's an axiom of business that great companies grow their revenues and profits year after year. Yet quietly, under the radar, a small number of companies have rejected the pressure of endless growth to focus on more satisfying business goals. Goals like being great at what they do, creating a great place to work, providing great customer service, making great contributions to their communities, and finding great ways to lead their lives. In Small Giants, veteran journalist Bo Burlingham takes us deep inside 14 such remarkable companies.

There, he stumbled across two South African brothers, who had founded a business to help unbanked smallholder farmers receive mobile payments in a market where cash was king. After convincing his retired parents to mortgage their house and lend him $100,000, Mike joined as a co-founder of Zoona and became CEO for nine of the next 10 years.

It’s exhausting to live with your mind racing around from one dreadful possibility to the next, even when you know logically that a lot of these thoughts are unrealistic or at least unlikely. Logic quite often has nothing to do with it. It’s thinking that has got you into this mess, and more unhelpful thinking is simply not the answer. Unfortunately, it can be hard to stop once you get yourself into the spiral of overthinking. Your thoughts can get ahead of you, blocking you from your own mind and distracting you from what really matters.
