Get ready to be inspired in this episode with Steven Neuner, an entrepreneur and Associate Coach of Strategic Coach. Listen to his roller coaster experience and life lessons that made him successful in what he does.

Get to know Steven Neuner:

“My purpose is to create freedom for entrepreneurs, business owners, and insurance agency owners/presidents so they can realize their full potential. I do this by listening and coaching them through complex business leadership, financial, and team challenges that are holding them back, leading to increased clarity, confidence and momentum.

I achieve these outcomes by creating a customized, strategically-planned solution that is measurable, followed by an introduction to a best-in-class team or service provider that has the proven experience to help execute this plan faster, cheaper, and with less effort. This ultimately frees the individual to focus and reach their next level of impact in less time. I do it in a way that I hope honors God and that others would do it for me.

My passions are learning, growing and falling forward into my own bigger future, then using the gained wisdom learned from the “rugged plains of reality” to help others avoid or find a short cut through the same experiences as they pursue their own bigger futures.

I am an Associate Coach of Strategic Coach and a member of their Free Zone Fronter and 10X workshops, a proud Dave Ramsey Endorsed Local Insurance Provider, and an EntreLeadership Masters Series graduate. I currently serve as NFTE North Texas Advisory Board and a proud member of YPO Big D Dallas Chapter.

Our thought leadership in healthcare reform, HR outsourcing, leadership, building culture, team building, and insurance have been featured in EntreLeadership Magazine, D Magazine, KERA, KTXD and the Dallas Morning News, as well as being included in, “Happy Monday’s”, a book on building company culture by Kristin Robertson.

I served as President of the Entrepreneurs Organization (EO) Dallas, co-founded and hosted, “The Next Level – Conversations That Propel Business,“ a podcast on entrepreneurship, and volunteered as an instructor at the Collin College Small Business Development Center where I taught "Healthcare Reform – What the Health is Going on?" and "Protecting Your Business 101 and 202 – The Most Important Class Never Taught in Business School."

In this week’s episode, Ilan Jacobson joins us to discuss some of the most important aspects of entrepreneurship. From knowing who you truly are, gaining irreplaceable experience, to getting out of your own way, learn how Ilan made it to where he is today. 

"Ilan Jacobson is passionate about Canadian business, whether as an entrepreneur, an investor, a lender or an adviser. He founded and built FirePower Capital, transforming the firm from a small family office into an investment banking and private capital powerhouse. In addition to helping business owners grow and sell their companies, Ilan is an entrepreneur in his own right, with ownership stakes in two software companies, a healthcare company, and BATL, the world’s largest urban axe-throwing organization.

Ilan’s business success is rooted in his long-term outlook. In any situation, whether building a company or leading an M&A team, he seeks out solutions that yield the most long-term value. Ilan sees this, along with his relentless work ethic and the value he places on trust and authenticity, as driving his business success. He analogizes his outlook this way:

“I want to build the best castle, and to build the best castle, there can’t be a shaky foundation, or a poorly built wall, or anything else that could crumble along the way.”

Ilan thrives in his leadership role. He is skilled at bringing together and leading talented people with different strengths. He believes that leadership is bestowed by others – “it’s not uni-directional” – and he has earned the respect and trust of his team by leading them to numerous wins over the years. No business is built without losses interspersing the wins. Ilan regards those as learning opportunities for the team, and along with the wins, they are integrated into his evidence-based approach to decision making."
