  • Chris Hogg: Still Enjoying His "Gap Year" After 40 Years! Interview on Capital Club Radio
    :arrow: :arrow: Chris Hogg:  Still Enjoying His "Gap Year" After 40 Years! Interview on Capital Club Radio
    Chris Hogg has been the entrepreneurial powerhouse behind several businesses in the consumer financial services and consumer product industries. He is an Australian citizen and currently resides in Bryn Mawr, PA, USA. Chris is the President of Broad Street Holdings, LLC which recently acquired SRA Associates, a NJ-based debt collection and receivables management company; North Shore Agency,located in NY, is a letter-based collection company; and a California-based auto loans business.
    Chris is Chairman of National Surety Underwriters and National Fidelity Reinsurance Company, founded in 2014, underwriting surety guarantee and contract bonding business throughout the USA. Chris is also the Independent Director of CCA Industries, a consumer products company (NYSE American: CAW). In his most recent venture, Chris founded EmployeeCash, a unique digital workplace consumer loans platform.
    Chris was the chief executive officer of Australia's largest privately-owned debt collection agency specializing in credit card debt recovery. He then joined the first board of UK-based Marlin Financial Group (MFG), a start up in the distressed receivables management business. Eight years later, MFG grew into the largest privately-owned business of its kind in Europe and was sold to PE investors for substantial gains in 2013. He was Chairman of The Mint Corporation, a publicly listed debit card and payroll processing company. Under Chris' direction, Mint grew into a respected leader in the highly competitive payments processing sector in the MENA Region, operating in four countries. In 2013, he retired as its executive chairman.
    "I graduated high school at barely the age of 17... I got into business and as soon as I started earning a salary, the idea of staying in business looked a heck of a lot more attractive than going to university. So I put it off for another year and another year... I'm in my fortieth year of that gap."
    "It's never really been about the money... It's about creating something. It's about building something. It's about the success of taking something from nothing and turning it into something from $1 to $65 million.... if I look back, I could have made some decisions that would have actually made me a lot more money, but it probably wouldn't have been as gratifying to me as building a business and creating jobs and creating futures for people."

  • The Business of Behavior in Today’s Cognitive Environment on Rich Hart Show
    :arrow: :arrow: The Business of Behavior in Today’s Cognitive Environment on Rich Hart Show
    Cindy Lynch Six-20 Partners and Bob Langley REL Leadership Group Interview on the Rich Hart Show
    “The Business of Behavior in today’s Cognitive Environment”
    Topic: The Business of People and Behavior in a world built around Process and Profitability… and why they are so crucial to the success of our business today when we’re talking about People, Profitability, Productivity, and Process…

    A) Who is Cindy Lynch - Six-20 Partners…
    Talent management is about generating profitable behaviors. I help my clients optimize profits by optimizing their human capital.
    The brief version:
    Abraham Lincoln said, “Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.” Cindy’s formula for Success is A good plan + People who can execute. The key to execution is getting the right people in the right roles. When you hire the right people, and keep them motivated, they do the right things.
    If you are really interested:
    Cindy’s background in the realm of performance improvement, change dynamics and organizational development give her a unique perspective to help businesses improve their results. With 20+ years’ experience as an executive coach to employees and senior managers she has gained extensive experience in how to raise performance in individuals and teams to create long-term success and fulfillment. (AKA: Profits)
    For fun:
    Improv theater! Want to be a better speaker? Leader? Sales person? Learn improv theory. Need the best-ever team building activity? Improv! Need a cure for the blahs and general depression? Improv! Just need a good belly-laugh? Yep! It’s Improv!

    00:30 Michael Flock: Thank you and good afternoon. We are absolutely delighted and honored today to have one of the icons of the accounts receivable managements industry on Capital Club Radio: Mike Ginsberg, CEO of Kaulkin Ginsberg. Now I've known Mike for, gosh, I think it's now almost 20 years since we first met when I was running the Dun & Bradstreet's receivables management company, and he's got a terrific history. And he started with partnering with Marv Kaulkin. He founded one of the, probably the leading at the time, M&A advisory firms in this industry. I can't keep track of all the different tombstones. You've got dozens and dozens of these tombstones. So he was really the first real leader, I think, in M&A deals in this sector. Later, he and Marv founded insideARM in 2000. Mike is also founder of KG Prime, which provides market intelligence for ARM professionals. He's also a co-founder of Topline Valuation Group, which provides ARM executives with technical, financial, and benchmarking services to improve their decision-making.

    NEW Niche Franchise Opportunity in the Non-Profit and Fundraising Sector on Franchise Business Radio
    SPECIAL SPOT LIGHT SHOW today with a UNIQUE, EMERGING Franchise Opportunity in the FUNDRAISING sector.
    The Name of the Franchise is:  CG3 Battery Fundraising and our guest is the Founder & CEO Charles Grosse.

    CHARLES GROSSE
    Charles has a background in Econometrics and Corporate Law, Charles served for over 25 years as the General Counsel and held various business executive roles for companies like RaceTrac, Barco, Glock and WAI Global.  He currently lives north of Atlanta with his wife Sarah and two daughters.  Hobbies include golf, traveling and competitive swimming.  Charles created CG3 Battery Fundraising with the goal of operating a lean and efficient company offering a unique product to the fundraising market.  In doing so, CG3 has tapped into a lucrative niche market while helping organizations raise much needed funds for great causes.
    Questions:
    1) First things First….Give us a little history—Who is CG3?
    2) How did you get into Fundraising? Industry Opportunity?
    3) Tell us a little bit about the Product Offering. Batteries—Why Batteries? (Custom Branded-Battery Assortment Packs)
    4) What made you decide to Franchise?
    5) What is the Franchisee’s Role?
    6) How does the Fundraising Organization make money?
    7) A franchise in the fundraising sector makes you a unique franchise opportunity—so what else is unique about your franchise offering? Why CG3 if someone was considering a franchise?
    8) Are you concerned about competition from other battery companies?
    9) What are you looking for in a prospective franchisee candidate?
    "I’m excited to announce that I have chosen to become a CG3 Battery Fundraising Franchisee and I am really looking forward to working with you Charles."  Pam Currie
    With close to 20 years in franchising and have acquired business acumen from multiple perspectives of the franchise business model. For the past 9 to 10 years you have specialized in helping clients find the right franchise opportunity. Why did I decide to become a CG3 Franchisee?
    --Unique, Niche Franchise Opportunity in the Non-Profit / Fundraising Sector
    --1.5 Billion Dollar Industry that is fragmented and in need of business professionals to lead & get involved.
    (Note: A Fragmented industry = Great Franchise Opportunity)
    --Home Based / Lifestyle Business
    --Low Overhead
    --Low & Affordable Cost of Entry (Franchise Fee is only 25K)
    --No Royalties (Distributor Model)
    --High Potential for High Return on Investment

    --Large Protected Territories
    --Reoccurring Revenue
    --Digital Marketing Program to help drive leads to franchisees
    AND THE BIG REASON….LEADERSHIP—Charles.
     The Key to a successful ground level franchise is Leadership and I liked what I learned (not only about the opportunity), but about Charles leadership style & philosophy.
     I was able to see his vision & what he is planning to achieve
     I like Charles “culture philosophy” of openness, collaboration, flexibility. He wants franchisee’s to have input and a voice (we are already discussing forming a franchisee board).
     I like that Charles has created what I call a Franchisee Friendly Biz Model. Large Protected Territories. Ability to really build my own business inside of a business. (Asset) and in an environment where I’m giving back.

    I started traveling and I never wanted to stop. I never will stop. The search for the unseen or the unexpected is a strong draw. The road gets a hold of a man and most times won’t let him go.

    FAVORITE FIND:
    An Italian solid walnut three drawer serpentine front commode that is so absolutely beautiful that I will never let it out of my sight. Haven’t seen its equal since it became mine some 13 years ago. Making it better is that my father and I found it on one of our first trips to Italy together. He just turned 67 and I couldn’t have done what I’ve done without him. He’s such a big part of all this…

    FAVORITE TRAVELS:
    Those where I’m learning and experiencing something new, some part of history. Even in oft-traveled places there is always room for exploration and new discoveries. Hot over cold. Coastal over mountains. Traveling on your own is underrated.
