What does it take to go from seeking sales door-to-door to helping $100 million industrial companies achieve 10x growth? Caxy CEO Mike LaVista has done all that and more in his 23-year journey scaling a tech consulting firm, and he shares many of his secrets for success here today.
Starting with an 80's cover band background, Mike's transition to tech was accidental but fueled by a focus on client needs. Caxy's key pivot, he reveals, was niching down to serve industrial companies scaling to $1 billion. Noting that this specialization dramatically increased project value, Mike highlights Caxy’s innovative "Game Changer Assessment" which has become a cornerstone, positioned as an investment, not a cost. He details how client acquisition has evolved from cold calls to referrals, partnerships, and content marketing - including his own podcast - and that scaling the team has required standardized processes and objective hiring assessments. Mike finishes up today by describing his transformation from tech expert to strategic CEO, embracing coaching and a growth mindset, and propelling Caxy toward exponential growth as it aims to make today's top line tomorrow's bottom line in three years.

How can focusing on your Ideal Client Profile (ICP) and honing storytelling transform your consulting practice? In this episode, author, keynote speaker, and President of Steers Consulting Group, Stephen Steers, shares some of the strategies that have reshaped his business. With experience advising over 750 companies, Stephen discusses how he pivoted to serve professional services firms and managed service providers (MSPs) in cybersecurity, focusing on what he found most effective for scaling—leaning into niche markets and reliable channels like speaking engagements. By identifying the core motivations that drive buyers, Stephen explains how he uses tailored storytelling to bridge business goals with personal values. The approach simplifies client relationships and emphasizes the value of one or two effective channels for lead generation over spreading yourself too thin. He underscores that growth is often more about mindset than skillset, especially when aiming to scale.
