    Leader of Haiti and Dominican (NorthStar Church)

    Topic: The Mission as a Leader and the Calling to a Diverse Level of Leadership

    Pastor Steve Saintus was born in Port-au-Prince, in 1970. He left for the Unites States in 1986 where he became an educator in the public school system licensed in the areas of Math, French and Adult Education. Steve has studied electrical engineering, and theology. He is currently pending a doctorate degree in Education from Liberty University. He is soon-to-be a published author of his autobiography. He is also an enrolled agent with the IRS and has his own tax firm.
    Pastor Steve has functioned in various leadership roles. He is a senior pastor who has planted many churches here in the USA and abroad. He is president and founder of Hosanna Helping Hand, a non-profit organization that supports the various schools and ministries internationally. He is a family counselor, a bible professor, an entrepreneur, but most importantly he is husband to the angel of his life, Esther for twenty-five years and father to his wonderful twenty-four year old son Joshua, his gift from God.

    Most people who know him describe him as a loving and caring  human being, a promoter of excellence, a passionate visionary, but above all a servant of God and a man of great faith. After the earthquake that devastated his home land-Haiti, Steve moved his ministry to Haiti to help those in need. He is running an elementary school of 200 kids, a professional school with 47 young men and women, and a group home where he has opened his personal home to 10 kids whose parents are not able to care for.

    Pastor Steve looks forward to a future of ministering the gospel  of Jesus through his personal testimonies and experiences to reach people for Christ, and caring for those in need.

    Robert Edwards with Franchise City and Marcia Mead with Outdoor Living Brands on Franchise Business Radio

    Robert Edwards 
    Investor and founder of Franchise City 

    Topics to Discuss: 
    What we do for candidates
    Why franchising is a great opportunity
    Recent strategic partnership with Franbrokers & what that means

    Web Site / Social Media Links:

    Marcia Mead, VP of Franchise Recruiting 

    Marcia Mead serves as Vice President of Franchise Recruiting of Outdoor Living Brands since January 2018, a multi-brand franchise company dedicated to products and services within the outdoor living market, which currently includes leading brands Archadeck, Outdoor Lighting Perspectives, Renew Crew, and Conserva Irrigation. As Vice President, Ms. Mead is responsible for the leadership of the franchise recruiting team that builds franchise growth across all four brands.

    While Ms. Mead may be new to Outdoor Living Brands, she is not new to franchising as she brings over 18 years of experience in franchising to this role. Ms. Mead served as a member of the executive team of PuroClean as Vice President of Franchise Development, where she led a team of 6 and PuroClean’s franchise development efforts for three years. Prior to this role, Ms. Mead served First Service Corporation at Floor Coverings International as Director of Franchise Development from October 2011 to December 2014 and as Operations Manager from February 2009 to October 2011 and with CertaPro Painters as National Accounts Manager from October 2007 to October 2008 and as Franchise Recruiter from October 2004 to October 2007. Ms. Mead began her franchising career as a CertaPro Painters franchisee in Kansas City at the age of 25 rapidly growing her business to nearly $1 million in annual revenue.

    Ms. Mead has a bachelor’s degree in business with an emphasis in marketing and management from Baker University in Baldwin City, KS. She resides in Atlanta, GA.

    Topics to Discuss: 
    I'm open to suggestions for a fresh angle. Last time, we highlighted the brands and didn't go very deep. Since Spring is forthcoming, maybe it's about how our businesses get very busy this time of year as homeowners start surveying their homes for this year's projects. Or, maybe a green angle? 3 out of 4 of our brands have a green story? Or, maybe we go deeper with one brand?

To showcase its new sound identity and engage music fans, the company has created a unique Sensory Lab—a one-of-a-kind space filled with interactive experiences and exclusive merchandise that will engage visitors’ senses—open to the public February 8 & 9 at Fred Segal Sunset in West Hollywood.

    Special interview with Mastercard’s Chief Marketing & Communications Officer, Raja Rajamannar, to showcase and explain how the brand is evolving to meet the demands of multisensory commerce and a rapidly changing consumer landscape.

  • Scott Lowery, Back to Square One on Capital Club Radio
    Scott Lowery, Back to Square One on Capital Club Radio

    Join Michael Flock of FLOCK Specialty Finance as he interviews Scott Lowery, a well-known leader and successful entrepreneur in the debt buying industry.

    Scott, throughout his tenure, was the Founder, CEO, President and Chairman of SquareTwo Financial Corporation, originally known as Collect America, LTD, headquartered in Denver, CO which became one of the top debt buyers in the United States and Canada. Under Scott’s guidance as CEO, thecompany grew to over 25 franchised law firms across the US, over 100 local counsel legal firms in the network and revenue consistently exceeding $300M annually, with its top annual revenue number just under 600 million. Prior to the financial crisis, Collect America was in talks for an IPO with a valuation approaching $1.4B. After a new CEO took charge, the financial performance declined severely and SquareTwo filed bankruptcy in 2017 and was ultimately sold to Resurgent Capital Services, LP, a subsidiary of Sherman Financial Group.

    In 2018, Scott and his team acquired Galaxy Capital Acquisition, LLC which is a debt buyer and master servicer located in Atlanta, GA. Additionally, Scott is an attorney at Rausch, Sturm, Israel, Enerson and Horniek, LLC, based in Wisconsin. Scott discusses how he goes back to “square one” with his new platform Galaxy.

    Scott currently serves on the Board of Trustees for Valor Christian High School, the Daniels School of Business Executive Advisory Board, the Colorado UpLift Board of Directors and Executive Board and the ACE Scholarships Board of Trustees. He also served on the Denver Hospice Board of Directors and the Investment Committee.

    Scott earned a BS degree in Business Administration and a JD degree from the University of Denver. In 2004, he was the recipient of the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award. Scott and his wife reside in Denver and are the proud parents of three daughters.

    Here is a glimpse of what Scott shared in the interview:

    “…. success is not linear, It’s not a direct trade-off. So, you can do 90% of the work and still have zero or five or 10% of the success. Then suddenly it trips.”

    “… so this “square one”, a re-do or encore is just a way to gather again great people and work with some fun people. And I love the business … There are so many levers to pull.”

    About building culture: “I think it’s simple and it’s hard. The things you learned in elementary school, how to play well with others in the sand box. You’ve got to genuinely like people. You’ve got to genuinely respect people. You’ve got to have people believe in your vision and believe in you, and then they’ll push you.”

Under Scott’s guidance as CEO, the company grew to over 25 franchised law firms across the US, over 100 local counsel legal firms in the network and revenue consistently exceeding $300M annually, with its top annual revenue number just under 600 million. Prior to the financial crisis, Collect America was in talks for an IPO with a valuation approaching $1.4B. After a new CEO took charge, the financial performance declined severely and SquareTwo filed bankruptcy in 2017 and was ultimately sold to Resurgent Capital Services, LP, a subsidiary of Sherman Financial Group.
    In 2018, Scott and his team acquired Galaxy Capital Acquisition, LLC which is a debt buyer and master servicer located in Atlanta, GA. Additionally, Scott is an attorney at Rausch, Sturm, Israel, Enerson and Horniek, LLC, based in Wisconsin. Scott discusses how he goes back to “square one” with his new platform Galaxy.
    Scott currently serves on the Board of Trustees for Valor Christian High School, the Daniels School of Business Executive Advisory Board, the Colorado UpLift Board of Directors and Executive Board and the ACE Scholarships Board of Trustees. He also served on the Denver Hospice Board of Directors and the Investment Committee.
    Scott earned a BS degree in Business Administration and a JD degree from the University of Denver. In 2004, he was the recipient of the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award. Scott and his wife reside in Denver and are the proud parents of three daughters.
    Here is a glimpse of what Scott shared in the interview:
    “…. success is not linear, It’s not a direct trade-off. So, you can do 90% of the work and still have zero or five or 10% of the success. Then suddenly it trips.”
    “… so this “square one”, a re-do or encore is just a way to gather again great people and work with some fun people. And I love the business … There are so many levers to pull.”
    About building culture: “I think it’s simple and it’s hard. The things you learned in elementary school, how to play well with others in the sand box. You’ve got to genuinely like people. You’ve got to genuinely respect people. You’ve got to have people believe in your vision and believe in you, and then they’ll push you.”
