I have learned over the years that conventional thinking is often WRONG. We tend to fall into the groove that if other businesses are doing something and if there are hundreds of consultants and authors talking about it, the ideas that are being discussed must be effective. Contrary thinkers and writers are often a minority and therefore may not reach the audience that needs to hear their message.
Gary Heil, a Washington Speakers Bureau exclusive speaker and co-author of Choose Love Not Fear, joins me in this edition of the Business Builders Show to speak with Alfie Kohn. Kohn's criticisms of competition and rewards have been widely discussed and debated. His books include No Contest: The Case Against Competition, Punished by Rewards: The Trouble with Gold Stars, Incentive Plans, A's, Praise, and Other Bribes, and School Beyond Measure & Other Unorthodox Essays About Education..
I hope you will step away from conventional thinking for a few minutes and allow yourself to be a student. Someone who listens and possibly changes "the way we have always done things around here."

Barbara Corcoran from Shark Tank had this to say about Jaime Schmidt's book SUPERMAKER: Crafting Business on Your Own Terms: "SUPERMAKER contains the secret sauce for launching and executing a successful business plan. It's a MUST read for emerging Entrepreneurs."
Jaime Schimidt founded Schmidt's Naturals in her Portland, Oregon kitchen in 2010, and led the company to acquisition by Unilever in December 2017 - WOW! Jaime has since launched the progressive platform Supermaker, https://supermaker.com/ and the inclusive investment fund Color, https://color.capital/

I was anxious to talk to Jules Pieri and Joanne Domeniconi about what happened at The Grommet, a company they founded together about 12 years ago. They are no longer there. What happened?
A company that was formed to be a platform for the "little guys." For the "Makers", folks who had a dream, started small by making and selling products to friends and family and then needed help to grow into a real business. Jules and Joanne share with us their journey from the beginning to their departure from the company. "Building a business over 12 years is HARD! An unhappy investor complicates things even more. It was actually becoming unhealthy." If you want to grow your business and are considering taking on an investor, this is a must listen to interview.
Some brands that we all recognize were launched during Jules and Joanne's tenure at The Grommet: Bombas Socks, Fit Bit, Goldie Blox, Love Pop, Otter Box, Soda Stream - impressive lineup!

After I read the July-August 2020 edition of Entrepreneur Magazine, I knew I needed to get Jason Feifer on the Business Builders Show to tell me why there were 137 entrepreneurs on the cover of this edition and to talk more about a couple of stories that I really enjoyed and I know our business audience would also enjoy.
We talked about "Lead with Transparency". This article features Eric Yaverbaum, the President of Ericho Communications in NYC. In times of crisis, a leader can rise up - even if, like Eric, you are sick in bed with COVID-19. He shares what he learned. You can connect with Eric on Linkedin at https://www.linkedin.com/in/ericyaverbaum/
Next topic was "The New Startup." Is the Silicon Valley model for every business? Do we need fewer disruptors or more Creators? Fascinating discussion with Jason about his chat with Alexandre Lazarow around how global entrepreneurs are rewriting the rules of Silicon Valley. You can follow Alex on Linkedin at https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexandrelazarow/
Finally, we had a lot of fun talking about one of Jason's podcasts - Pessimists Archive Podcast, a show about how change happens, which goes back in time to see why people once opposed the things we love today. You can find this podcast on virtually all podcast apps. Here is a link to one I really liked: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4JCDaHpRnMF8IgzHZ3eL1w?si=-CKeDxhLR9-MSPRg24V5lA
So Jason thank you for being with us on the Business Builders Show. It was a blast! Learn more about Jason at jasonfeifer.com and on Linkedin at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonfeifer/

Jeff Tkach, the Chief Impact Officer for the Rodale Institute joins me on the Business Builders Show to discuss a topic that I know needs much more attention from all of us. The facts point to an urgent need for us to change the way we provide healthy food for ourselves and for our entire planet. Farmers play a critical role, however, we as consumers play an even more vital role. We DECIDE what products we want to bring into our households and communities. We as consumers demand what our farmers and the entire supply chain will deliver to our grocery store shelves.
Learn more on Rodale's website rodale institute.org. You can financially support their work via their website.
There's nothing more powerful than a clear business case to get our attention. Jeff and Rodale Institute make a clear and compelling case. HOWEVER, I have an even more compelling case to support the work Jeff and his team are doing at rodaleinstitute.org - my children and grandchildren.
Please listen to this interview carefully. YOU, as business people and community leaders can change the world. If we take steps NOW, we can look back at this time as an important part of our legacy. You can connect with Jeff on Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeff-tkach-73a1373/

I read about Meghan French Dunbar in a book The Healing Organization: Awakening the Conscience of Business to Help Save the World written by Raj Sisodia and Michael J. Gelb.

I saw a story in the March/April edition of Inc. Magazine on a company I never heard of.............Backblaze.............backblaze.com. I LOVED the story of this company. How the founders faced early challenges, how they are so transparent in sharing information with their customers and how they resisted the urge to go with venture capitalists.
Ahin Thomas, their VP, joined me for this entertaining AND informative conversation. Ahin is focused on building great Commerce experiences and developing talent. He was the co-founder / CEO of Vintners' Alliance. Ahin holds his MBA from Wharton (I asked him how a guy the Bay Area got to Wharton), AB from Georgetown. He also is an experienced musician and songwriter...........that partially explains why he was so charming in this terrific interview.

Jeremy Frank, CEO of kcftech.com joins me in this very current and relevant interview for the Business Builders Show. This was recorded the week of March 30, 2020. The coronavirus pandemic is in full swing in the United States. I wanted to speak with Jeremy about how manufacturing is going to survive through this ordeal.
Were manufacturers "healthy" before this pandemic? How are manufacturers going to keep their machinery operating efficiently? How has and how will the aging workforce impact their ability to continue making their products? And is the technology KCF Technologies and other tech companies are implementing, reducing the need for quality people or are people needed more than ever?
I also asked Jeremy about Industrial Transformation 4.0 and I wanted to understand how KCF Technologies can help manufacturers now and in the future.

Ginny Gilder, co-owner of the Seattle Storm is back as a guest on the Business Builders Show to discuss the WNBA’s new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) and the business lessons are bigger than women in sports. Hear from Ginny why business owners need to invest in the future based on aspirational goals (rather than staying focused on past financial performance), why ditching the traditional “us versus them” negotiation stance is good for business and why you should go all in whether you’ll immediately benefit for the outcome or not (Ginny uses the brilliant example of Sue Bird, a 39 year-old professional athlete who will never benefit from the league’s new CBA, yet she was all-in during negotiations). Take risks and build your business by building a bigger pie, with the inspiration and insights in our conversation with Ginny.

Peter Cullinane has had a rather interesting career journey to becoming a dairy producer. He’s the founder and Chief Executive of Lewis Road Creamery, one of New Zealand’s fastest growing food businesses and is the country’s premium dairy brand producer. Now, Peter’s career didn’t start on the farm (or even in the kitchen). His incredible resume in the advertising business includes Worldwide COO at global advertising agency, Saatchi & Saatchi. Did we mention that he’s a college drop-out (who subsequently has earned not one but two Master’s degrees while running a business and sitting on corporate boards)? In this Business Builders Show interview, Peter shares how he initially stumbled into advertising, how a trip to the grocery store launched his latest business, how he never wrote a business plan for his current venture, why he avoids focus groups and why “do you what you love” is the only time management advice this intensely curious CEO knows. It’s a very in-depth interview, so you’ll want to listen closely to the very end (especially to hear how Peter made good old chocolate milk a must-have purchase in New Zealand).

In this episode of the Business Builders Show, guest host Kelly Hoey leads the conversation with Julie Elberfeld, SVP, Card Technology and Executive Sponsor of Diversity and Inclusion for Technology at Capital One about a new survey conducted by Capital One focusing on success of women executives in tech. This is not the usual “women in tech” survey. As Julie shares with Kelly and host, Marty Wolff, this new survey flips the focus of the conversation away from the myriad of reasons why women leave tech to reflect on the success of women (like Julie) who have climbed the tech ladder. A startling 56% of women in tech leave tech by the mid-point of their career however, as Julie notes, if we only focus on failure rates, we overlook the x-factor of successful women and lose a vital opportunity to change representation in tech.
One key finding from the study: strong peer networks helped women stay the course in their tech career.
From a sense of purpose to the flexible nature of the work along with determination and grit, there are success lessons in this conversation with Julie for those who are in tech or are considering a career in tech as well as insights for the employers who are seeking to retain or recruit tech talent.
Guest host Kelly Hoey frequently partners with Capital One, enabling us to bring unique insights from corporate leaders to the Business Builders Show audience.

From natural light to trash cans! In this second interview with Stefanie Spurlin, Vice President of Workplace Solutions at Capital One, we dive deeper into the findings of the 2019 Work Environment Survey exploring the importance of natural light (as guess what! natural light is the most requested design element by employees and connections to nature in the workplace can improve employee well-being), how mental health and well-being has risen to top of workplace survey plus other top office perks. The information may just surprise you. In this episode you’ll also learn why Stefanie’s team at Capital One took away individual trash cans – initially as a tactic to support and centralize the company’s recycling efforts, but there were other unintended positive benefits to the disruption of individual employee trash habits too! Finally we close out the conversation with Stefanie’s recommendations on the workplace perks you should have in place to retain talent.

For the past decade Nisa Amoils has been investing in frontier technologies. What the heck is that? Frontier technology is the cutting edge, emerging disruptive innovation that is transforming our lives (i.e. blockchain, crypto currency, AI, virtual reality, drones). Nisa is the author of the best selling book “WTF Is Happening? Women Tech Founders On The Rise” which features profiles of a dozen female founders in frontier technology whose remarkable companies are making a difference. One WTF example Nisa shares with us in this Business Builders Show episode is Carrie Shaw founder of Embodied Labs, a wellness company leveraging virtual reality in immersive health education. In our conversation Nisa enlightens us on blockchain, busts the myth on the credentials needed to start (or invest in) frontier technology (what’s needed is intense curiosity, not a computer science degree), and why focusing on the ‘so what’ of technology is essential. For the entrepreneurs Nisa interacts with, the passion to build companies is personal - which is why she is determined to reallocate capital to them and shine a bright light on their stories - and yes, their stories are ones you want to hear.

Award-winning, New York Times bestselling author and former editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan magazine, Kate White is back as a guest on the Business Builder Show to talk about her new thriller/who-dunnit (Such A Perfect Wife). Kate talks about what it takes to market a new book (as no, an author’s job is more than delivering a manuscript on time). Kate reveals where she gets her creepy ideas from and how, writing 15 minutes a day got her started on her first novel (a great productivity hack if you’re a procrastinator). Kate, host Marty Wolff and guest host Kelly Hoey, riff on career reinvention and lessons from their career moves that you can apply to your own situation (whether you’re being pushed out or exploring option or your industry is under threat). Finally, Kate tells “what’s next” for her – and we’ll leave you in suspense until you listen to Kate’s interview – as “what’s next” next is not what you think.

At the peak of her dream career, Jennifer Iannolo was chasing after truffle dogs in Italy as a digital pioneer and co-creator of the first food podcast network – then 25 years into her entrepreneurial adventures, boom, she has to completely reinvent her work and life because suddenly, her body was intolerant of major food groups (like bread, cheese, garlic and wine). Today, Jennifer is the founder and CEO of IMPERIA, an innovation incubator focused on women creating social impact projects around the globe.

From a lemonade stand to a best-seller to starring on Bravo’s Quit Your Day Job, serial entrepreneur Lauren Maillian’s belief that she can do anything she puts her mind to – is a mindset you want to infuse into your own entrepreneurial pursuits. In this episode of the Business Builders Show, Lauren shares the story of how she became the youngest self-made winery owner in the U.S. - along with her incredible brand-building and marketing know-how. Yes, a pivotal point in her journey was the lemonade stand she had at age 8 (as she shares in her book, The Path Redefined: Getting to the Top on Your Own Terms). Lauren provides why stress-testing the weaknesses in your business before you talk to investors is a good idea as well as three marketing suggestions drawn from luxury brands that your business (regardless of size) should adopt (hint: stop building your brand on top of someone else’s platform). No, this accomplished, collaborative entrepreneur doesn’t feel like she’s done enough and here at the Business Builders Show we can’t wait to see what she accomplishes next.

My Business Builders Show guest this week is Henry Hutcheson. He has 25 years in business management and global family business consulting across a range of industries, and is a veteran of a family business himself.
Seventy percent of all businesses are family businesses in the U.S., but only two thirds survive past the first generation. If you own a family business, this should be a MAJOR concern!
Henry's book Dirty Little Secrets of Family Business: Enduring Success From One Generation To The Next is a MUST read for all family business owners, not matter what stage of transition you may be at this time.
Be sure to check ot www.familybusinessusa.com for more information. And take advantage of a free family business assessment at www.familybusinessusa.com/fba. Henry Hutcheson can also be found on Linkedin and Twitter.

In this episode of the Business Builders Show, Marty and Kelly talk with Jill Schlesinger, CFP®, the Emmy-nominated and Gracie Award Winning Business Analyst for CBS News and author of The Dumb Things Smart People Do with Their Money: Thirteen Ways to Right Your Financial Wrongs. On TV, her “Jill on Money” podcast and blog, Jill covers the economy, markets, investing and anything else with a dollar sign. During our conversation we discover how a career that started in commodities trading ended up on prime time TV (plus how she “stumbled” into financial planning). Jill shares how the challenge to get clients in the door in a way that didn’t involve cold-calling prospects, resulted in a call-in radio show (and a 50%+ conversion rate). From growing a business on the back of media to the source of bad financial decision-making (spoiler alert! it’s human emotions!), to the f-word (fiduciary) along with the money and peak happiness equation to over-estimating the value of high-priced private colleges and our compulsion to own real-estate, Jill shares all (dropping zingers with humor). You don’t want to miss this or Jill’s five steps to financial success.

Toms is executive director and co-founder of Wharton Interactive where she has built award-winning edtech teams that develop highly engaging games and simulations, which are played by tens of thousands of students globally.
What IS "Customer Centricity"? Define what you mean by :"Customer Goodness". You telling me demographics are no longer relevant? Should CRM and CLV (Customer Lifetime Value) be working together? Does CLV really impact valuation of a company?

Five years into the Business Builders Show and the mic finally gets flipped on host, Marty Wolff when guest host J. Kelly Hoey takes the reins to quiz Marty on the best business books for listeners of this podcast. Marty is a voracious reader and the Business Builders Show has gained a reputation for culling the business book aisle to make recommendations on what busy business owners and entrepreneurs should be reading. Learn why Marty thinks “Create Distinction: What to Do When "Great" Isn't Good Enough to Grow Your Business” by Scott McKain is the ONE book every business owner should read (plus his five must reads and the one book he’s seeking). And no, Marty can’t resist asking a few questions of his guest host, who also shares what’s on her reading list as well as why Stephen King’s “On Writing” is a must read for entrepreneurs.
SUGGESTION: This podcast needs to be listened to with a notebook ready. Certainly listen in your car or while your working ouit, etc.,however we suggest you sit down, listen carefully and then invest in your future by buying some of these books

Kate O’Neill is the author of Tech Humanist, and in our increasingly tech-driven world, Kate is helping businesses make better human experiences at scale. In this conversation, Kate shares why she believes meaningful questions are far more important than sensible answers, discusses the importance of business purpose (and why Disney’s “create magical experiences” is a clear, instructive statement of operational purpose) and reminds us all that data is not objective. We also dig into Kate’s professional journey from a BA in German and Masters in linguistics to being one of the first 100 employees at Netflix (she also built the first intranet at Toshiba in San Jose, CA). The theme underlying this thought-provoking conversation around the speed and direction of technological change is entirely human, as Kate notes “human experiences and human data are really propelling innovation forward”.

The path unfolds when you begin, is just one of the pearls dropped by Business Builder Show guest Maxie McCoy. Maxie is the author of the book: You’re Not Lost: An Inspired Action Plan For Finding Your Own Way (2018/Tarcher Perigee). In our conversation Maxie shares her wild non-linear career path from sports broadcasting to women’s leadership, reveals why she thinks “follow your passion” can be B.S. advice when it comes to your career and discusses the absurdity of our ongoing obsession with “X under X age” accomplishment lists. We also find time to dive into end of month reflections plus why she’s a fan of micro-actions and side-hustles.

When Jean Case, Chairman of the National Geographic Society and cofounder of the Case Foundation, set out to investigate the core qualities of great changemakers, past and present, she found five surprising traits they had in common. Jean goes into these traits in her terrific book Be Fear-Less: 5 Principles for a Life of Breakthroughs and Purpose. In this Business Builders Show with Marty Wolff and J.Kelly Hoey as hosts, we touch on several unique ideas that can help us as business owners and business leaders. This book as a "playbook" is special reading.
Listen for: Why Jane Goodall wrote the forward to the book, Kelly Hoey asks Jean why she believes the National Geographic Society is a "start up", mindset change for seeing errors or failures as research and development, the importance of building unlikely partnerships, what is "The Rise of the Rest:", and what Jean Case wants to see as a result of her work two years from today.

Jake Wood, the Cofounder and CEO of Team Rubicon, www.teamrubiconusa.org, is my guest on this edition of the Business Builders Show with Marty Wolff on www.c-suiteradio.com. Team Rubicon is a nationwide nonprofit that provides military veterans with the opportunity to continue their service by responding to natural disasters and global crises: "Disasters are our business.Veterans are our passion."
I read Jake's book Take Command, Lessons In Leadership: How To Be A First Responder In Business, in 2016. I loved the book and made attempts to have Jake be a guest on the Business Builders Show. I was unable to schedule that interview until I had the honor to moderate a panel at Wilkes University in Wilkes-Barre, PA, that included Jake and others around the topic of supporting entrepreneurship for veterans. I had the pleasure of spending time with Jake and he agreed to be on the show.
So, please go to www.teamrubiconusa.org to learn more about their work. Veterans may want to get involved and I hope others consider contributing to their cause.

August Turak joins me on the Business Builders Show / www.c-suiteradio.com to talk about his successful business career, business secrets of Trappist Monks, and his incredible story and BEAUTIFUL book, Brother John: A Monk, a Pilgrim, and the Purpose of Life. EXCELLENT CHRISTMAS GIFT!
August Turak is a successful entrepreneur, corporate executive and award-winning author who attributes much of his success to living and working alongside the Trappist monks of Mepkin Abbey since 1996. As a frequent monastic guest, he learned firsthand from the monks as they grew an incredibly successful portfolio of businesses. Service and selflessness are at the heart of the 1,500-year-old monastic tradition's remarkable business success. It is an ancient though immensely relevant economic model that preserves what is positive and productive about capitalism while transcending its ethical limitations and internal contradictions. Combining case studies from his thirty-year business career with intimate portraits of the monks at work, Turak shows how Trappist principles can be successfully applied to secular business settings and to our personal lives as well. He demonstrates that monks, people like Warren Buffett and other "transformational organizations" are successful not despite their high principles but because of them.

REMARKABLE story told by a remarkable woman. My Business Builders Show guest host, J Kelly Hoey once again displays how she has built a dream network! Kelly talks with Ginny Gilder on the Business Builders Show on www.c-suiteradio.com.
Ginny Gilder is the founder and CEO of an investment business, and co-owner of the Seattle Storm. She is an Olympic silver medalist in rowingand the author of Course Correction: A Story of Rowing and Resilience in the Wake of Title IX. At 16, Ginny stood on the edge of Boston's Charles River, saw a rowing shell in motion, and it was love at first sight. Having grown up in an era when girls were only beginning to abandon the sidelines as observers and cheerleaders to become competitors and national champions, Gilder harbored no dreams of athletic stardom. Against the odds, she made the Yale varsity team in 1975, participated in the team’s famous Title IX naked protest (which helped define the movement for equality in college sports) and for ten years devoted herself to the sport. The mother of three children and stepmother of two, Ginny lives with her wife, Lynn, and their poodle in Seattle, Washington.

I interviewed Scott McKain a few weeks ago, when his book was just released; ICONIC: How Organizations and Leaders Attain, Sustain, and Regain The Ultimte Level of Distinction. One interview was not enough. We needed to cover more details and this time around we spent more time on how organizations can REGAIN Iconic status. J Kelly Hoey joins me in this fabulous discussion with Scott McKain on the Business Builders Show on www.c-suiteradio.com
Take a few minutes (less than 19) to learn why this book is being featured in the windows of Barnes and Noble in New York City and why Scott is the premire speaker, author, and consultant on the topic of DISTINCTION and now how you, yes you, the small business owners can become an ICONIC organization.
Go to www.scottmckain.com to learn more about Scott, the book, his other books and to schedule him as a speaker for your next major event.

My favorite (and only) Business Builders Show guest host J Kelly Hoey was in Toronto recently. So she took advantage of being with Tara Hunt of www.trulysocial.ca to do a Business Builders Show. BTW they were in Tara's recording studio! Welcome to the Business Builders Show with Marty Wolff and guest host J Jelly Hoey on www.c-suiteradio.com Tara Hunt is the founder of Truly, a Toronto-based agency focused on helping clients reach their business and growth goals through insights-driven social strategies. Tara Hunt is a digital marketing "native" (that is, she’s been at the forefront of digital since 1992). She’s the author of “The Whuffie Factor” one of the first books on how the social web is changing business (and fun fact, she convinced Zappos’ Tony Hsieh to join Twitter). Tara walks the talk of social: she’s a LinkedIn influencer, in the top 5% of users worldwide on Twitter and hosts the “Truly Social with Tara Hunt” video series on YouTube.

Guest host, J. Kelly Hoey is joined by Melissa Gonzalez on the Business Builders Show, on www.c-suiteradio.com.
Before retail strategist Melissa Gonzalez founded her award-winning firm, The Lion’esque Group, she was working on Wall Street in institutional sales. A desire to do something more creative with her career plus a little good timing, resulted in Melissa stepping off the trading floor and into working with coveted (as well as emerging brands) including Marc Jacobs, Penguin Random House, Brandless, Food52 and more. Melissa is a self-published author. Her book The Pop-Up Paradigm: Building Human Connections In A Digital Age, is the go-to resource for any brand considering experiential retail (plus, as she shares in her interview, self-publishing was a really wise business development investment for her). Beyond brands and transforming unused physical spaces into imaginative retail experiences, Melissa is involved with a smart-city initiative in Loudoun, Virginia (plus a really cool project she has promised to come back to talk with us about). You can find Melissa’s book on Amazon.Find out what Melissa and The Lion’esque Group are working on by following them on:Twitter: https://twitter.com/LionesqueGroupInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lionesquegroupLearn more about The Lion’esque Group and their projects here: https://lionesquegroup.com/ Learn more about J.

Recently I read about PEOs - Professional Employer Organizations, in Inc. magazine. I realized I have not heard those letters or those words in a long time. And I coach and consult with companies that should be considering a PEO. So, I reached out to Pat Cleary, President and CEO of the National Association of Professional Employer Organizations for an update. Welcome to the Business Builders Show with Marty Wolff on www.c-suiteradio.com.
Pat shared that PEOS are the best kept secret for small business. Businesses that use a PEO grow 7% to 9% faster, have 10% to 14% lower turnover, and are 50% less likely to go out of business. WOW! Have you talked to a PEO lately? Start by checking out www.napeo.org AND, you can reach Pat directly at pcleary@napeo.org.
The PEO industry is BOOMING. Should you be checking them out? A PEO can provide big business benefits for your small to mid-size business!
I'm Marty Wolff, your host for the Business Builders Show on www.c-suiteradio.com, and I am proud to share this valuable business information with you. Let me know if you have any questions or comments by calling or texting me at 570 815 1626

And my interview with Alex on the Business Builders Show with Marty Wolff on www.c-suiteradio.com is also AMAZING!Stay in touch with Alex on Twitter @sweatscience. Also on his website www.alexhutchinson.net. Alex Hutchinson, Ph.D., is a columnist for Outside magazine and was a long-time columnist for Runners World. Alex is also a regular contributor to The New Yorker online, and the Toronto Globe and Mail. He was a a two-time finalist in the 1,500 meters at the Canadian Olympic Trials, and represented Canada internationally in track, cross-country, road racing and mountain running competitions.The book title says it all - yet I learned some new information from Alex about hydration and other topics a lot of us take for granted. What are our limits? Is it all physical (body as machine), and how does our brain REALLY effect our performance and endurance?An exceptionally well researched book that is also extremely well written. I believe life is a test of endurance and this book and interview gives us so many insights.

The decisions we make everyday impact "where our money sleeps" and therefore impacts our COMMUNITIES and our world.Just google Morgan Simon and you can find her on Linkedin and other social media sites so you can stay up with her very important work.Van Jones, CNN says this: "Morgan Simon has made a significant contribution with the very big idea that we can change the world by changing how we all relate to money."For those interested in inequality, you will find this book fascinating.Thanks for listening to this interview with Morgan Simon on the Business Builders Show with Marty Wolff on www.c-suiteradio.com.Email me at marty@martywolffbusinesssolutions.com or call / text me at 570 815 1626 with your comments or questions.This edition of the show has been brought to you by www.contractorsuccession.com

In this # 4 of 9 interviews I am doing with Dana A. Oliver he tells me "I'm shocked at the number of companies who have the engineers and product developers create a product and do not do thorough testing with customers or potential customers." Prototyping is critical in the release of a new product. It is also important when planning to relase a new service. TEST customer's reactions to the product or service. Make adjusts in the "feasibility" stage not after releasing. Dana calls this "Build to Learn"Commonsense is not always common practice!Dana's book is "Mantra Design Innovate, Buy, Or Die - Discover the Secrets for Profitable and Lasting Innovation"This series from Dana A Oliver can save you thousands, maybe millions of dollars!Dana was the Senior Director of Research & Development at Medtronic's Surgical Technologies ENT / NT division. and helped them grow that business unit from $100m to $2billion is over fourteen years.My special thanks to the folks at www.kevinsww.com.
