Having sold his first PEO to Oasis Outsourcing several years ago, Mark Sinatra's love for the PEO industry led him back into the industry and to AspenHR. Mark discusses how things are different this time around. AspenHR's focus on the financial services industry has allowed faster growth. AspenHR's focus on service is evident by the quality people Aspen has hired, shout out to Laura B., Lisa R., Brooke S., Cathy H. and my favorite Nicole C. You are all quality people making a quality organization.

DynamicHR is considered by many to provide the Best PEO Service in the State of Michigan.  CEO David Carlesimo explains how COVID made him "rethink" the "bigger is better" model that many PEOs have been chasing.  DynamicHR has focused on the Great Lake State, and Dynamic clients have seen minimal medical rate increases for the past several years. (Part of the reason, I referred a former client to David.)

My hope is that you can learn one or two things from each podcast, maybe something new, or maybe something that supports the decision you are making.  Every PEO is different and since Dynamic is not a member of NAPEO, nor PACE, you may not get a chance to hear David Carlesimo's client-focused approach.

Please give the Podcast a 5-star review, at least a 5-Star PEO podcast review, and share the podcast on LinkedIn.

Fellow attorney, Katy Goshtasbi explains the importance of discovering your brand, and using it to advance and improve your business, your career, and your life.  Having taken Katy's Bootcamp, I know how it changed my life and got me back on track to the work that I truly enjoy, like being a podcaster.

I talk with Anthony Sabatella, the CEO of THC123 which provides PEO services to businesses in the Cannabusiness Industry in Michigan AND throughout the country.  With Michigan being the third largest market in consumption and the great need for HR/PEO support services in the Industry, Anthony explains the hurdles he faced in building his business with services including staffing, insurance, banking and full-PEO service.  If you have a CannaBusiness you can't place, reach out to THC123, the largest, oldest and fastest growing PEO in Michigan.

I interview Nick Soman, the CEO of Decent.  Decent's Mission is to provide Affordable Healthcare (for all) through the use of direct primary care doctors. Growing up in a medical family, Nick understands the challenges of providing quality healthcare at a great rate.  It is a Great Idea that he shares with our listeners.  Nick's motivation comes directly from FDR's call for decent healthcare for all and he shares a few stories on the importance of story telling.  

Jean Goldstein is an industry veteran who has been advising PEOs on financial and compliance matters in the PEO industry for the past 5 years.  She notes an increase in new groups starting PEOs in just the past two years.  While some are existing companies or VC groups, many are former PEO sales people ready to create the next great thing in the PEO industry.  

If you are starting a PEO or even thinking of starting a PEO, then Jean's PEO 101 is a must.

I have spoken with many PEO industry leaders and legends so far in my PEO podcasting journey and in my mind Mike DiManno of Samuel Hale in Folsom, California has created one of the more revolutionary PEO/HRO concepts that I have run across in my 25+ years in the industry.  Not only is Samuel Hale helping keep costs down for employers, but Samuel Hale is providing amazing benefits to their worksite employees.  Providing free check-cashing and free urgent care to employees makes it even more revolutionary.  Listen to hear how Mike and his team are taking inefficiencies out of the system and taking that money to help California businesses and employees!

If you only listen to one episode, this is the one you need to hear.  

Today, I discuss a wide range of topics with President of Prism HRO, Tim Pratte.  How does a boutique PEO differentiate itself when using PrismHR?  We touch on cyber attacks, additional products available to clients and the future of the PEO industry.

Today's episode features Anthony Laporte.  Anthony started SimplyPEO in the fall of 2020 during the nationwide COVID business shutdowns.  Like most entrepreneurs, Anthony took the negative and turned it into a positive by growing 14 times his original client base.  Anthony shares some, but not all of his secrets of success, and what he did to distinguish SimplyPEO from the big box competition.

SimplyPEO is headquartered in White Plains, New York and has clients up and down the east coast.  

Today's episode is from one of my early mentors in the PEO industry.   I met David when he owned the Varsity Group in St. Louis.  In his long career, David help to grow the Jack-in-the-Box chain through establishing proper operational and human resource practices including selecting the right staff.  David reminded me of how a PEO relieves the client of "Administrivia" and provide "Economies of Competence" a far cry from today's sales people claim to "save you money" when studies show that a business owner really wants to save time (or have more time).

David is available to consult as to growth, Human Resources practices for PEOs and HROs.  David is located in Maryland, between DC and Baltimore.  If you listen carefully, you will gain more than a nugget of wisdom.
