  • Nail The Recruiting Process with: Jared Zeidman

    Do you remember back in 2021,

    when  more than 47 million Americans quit
    their jobs voluntarily, an unprecedented mass exit from the workforce? This
    trend is being referred to as the Great Resignation and is primarily driven by
    the Covid-19 pandemic. Due to this, worker shortages are being observed
    everywhere, with gas stations and dental offices reducing their operating hours
    as they struggle to find employees to replace those who have resigned.

     The Great Resignation has disrupted the

    relationship between labor market and workers.  According to the US Bureau of Labor and Statistics,

    According to 247Sports, most of the

    top prospects have already committed to a school. Specifically, 33 of the top
    33, 98 of the top 100, and 143 of the top 150 prospects have already made a
    commitment.  As to which college
    basketball program they will attend.

    Jared Zeidman has made his debut in

    the literary world with his book, "Nail The Recruiting Process". He
    brings with him almost 15 years of extensive experience in college athletics.
    Zeidman previously worked as a full-time coach but made the brave decision to
    step away and focus on his recovery from severe complications related to a
    Covid-19 infection. Currently, he works as a consultant for college coaches
    aiming to build successful programs and high school athletes seeking
    recruitment.

    Zeidman is well-known for his

    dynamic energy, developmental lens on coaching, and passion for sports that
    extends beyond the field of play. He has a Master's in Higher Education
    Administration from the State University of New York at Buffalo and a Bachelor's
    in Media Studies from Quinnipiac University. His academic background, coupled
    with his coaching acumen, showcases a holistic approach to both athletics and
    education. For more information, please visit

  • The Psychology of Dogs & Effective Training with Brady Foulk

    It's important to have companionship in life to feel

    supported and have someone or something to share experiences with. According to
    a recent survey by the American Pet Product Association, 65.1 million
    households in the U.S. own a dog, making them the most popular pet, followed by
    cats and freshwater fish. Surprisingly, only four percent of dogs in the U.S.
    attend training classes.

     

    Brady Foulk is an experienced dog trainer and the owner of

    New Direction Dog Training. He is passionate about helping puppies, dogs, and
    their owners achieve greater success and harmony at home and in public. Brady
    has years of hands-on experience in canine behavior, obedience, emotional
    support, and service dog training. He believes that a well-trained dog is a
    happy and confident dog, and his mission is to empower dog owners with the
    knowledge and tools to create a peaceful and loving home for their pets.

     

    Many dog owners struggle to unlock their pet's full

    potential, often falling short of creating the well-behaved companion they
    envision. Brady was once in a similar position and had to take action quickly.
    In his keynote speech, "From Chaos to Harmony: Unlocking the Secrets to
    Your Dream Dog," Brady shares his journey and guides individuals to focus
    on what they can control. He reframes their perspective and inspires them to
    become effective leaders in their canine relationships. Attendees learn
    powerful strategies and frameworks inspired by Brady's comprehensive experience
    in dog training. His talk encourages them to become champions of their own
    journey and develop a fulfilling and impactful bond with their dream dog.  You can follow Brady @nddogtraining.

    write their regular nurture emails, so they can grow their relationships with
    their subscribers, get more sales, and create happy, loyal customers. Tanya

    the business is when they send a sales email. Tanya emphasizes the importance
    of sending regular nurture emails to build a strong relationship with
    subscribers, so that they get the information and attention they need to be
    willing to buy.

    over one-third (36%) of US workers are experiencing symptoms related to

    Education.

    we can all learn and grow together.  He
    also shares how he continues to work towards excellence as a father, husband,
    and individual.

  • Closing the Gap Between Business and Technology with: Chris Hood

    Last year, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce

    conducted a nationwide survey and economic analysis to assess the impact of
    technology platforms on small businesses and the economy. The survey found that
    businesses are increasingly using technology to improve their operations. Here
    are some key takeaways:

     

    - 95% of small business owners in the

    U.S. reported using at least one type of technology platform in their
    operations in 2022, which is slightly more than the previous year.

    data are essential to their operations, with 87% of small business owners
    reporting that technology platforms have helped them operate more efficiently.

     

    - Small businesses that use six or more

    types of technology platforms have seen growth in sales, employment, and

  • Enhancing Your Social and Digital Media Presence with: Luke Lintz

    According to LinkedIn, 71%

    of small to mid-sized businesses use social media for marketing purposes. Among
    those businesses, 52% post content at least once per day. Facebook reportedly
    has over 10 times more brand engagement than other social media platforms. In
    fact, about 200 million social media users visit at least one business profile
    per day. Luke Lintz is a serial entrepreneur who started his first e-commerce
    business at the age of 16, after stepping out of an economics class.

    Within 90 days, he sold his

    entire inventory worth $8,000, generating an ROI of 375%. Today, he is the
    founder and CEO of HighKey Enterprises LLC, a Puerto Rico-based company that
    specializes in digital branding and helps businesses become famous. Luke believes
    that entrepreneurs should focus their energy on the areas where they can make
    the biggest impact.

    He thinks that value is not

    a commodity but a quality that is essential for great purpose, companies, and
    people. During his sophomore year in high school, Luke and his older brother
    Jordan Lintz started HighKey Technology Inc., an e-commerce site that sold
    futuristic tech.

    They invested $8,000 of

    their own money into HighKey’s 1.0 wireless earbuds, after noticing a problem
    no one was trying to solve. Within three months, the innovative brand building
    helped Luke's social media presence explode, and the investment generated over
    $38,000 in revenue - an ROI of over 375%.

    HighKey Technology Inc.

    evolved and attracted Stefan Aarnio, an award-winning real estate investor and
    shark, who brought unrivaled sales training and leadership. Stefan trusted Luke
    and Jordan to take full control of his social media presence, and as a result,
    HighKey Agency Inc., a full-service social media, and PR agency was born.

    With multiple companies

    under his belt, Luke's entrepreneurial vision shifted, and his e-commerce brand
    and social media agency established themselves as emerging forces in the North
    American market.

     Younger brother Jackson Lintz joined the

    ownership structure, allowing Luke to focus his entrepreneurial vision
    elsewhere.
