Bill Sturm: Born into Collections on Capital Club Radio

Join Michael Flock of FLOCK Specialty Finance as he interviews William (Bill) Sturm, COO of Rausch, Sturm, Israel, Enerson & Hornik, LLP (Rausch, Sturm) located in Brookfield, Wisconsin. Bill has been with Rausch, Sturm for over 25 years. Bill started with the company putting away files and has worked in every department. After earning his Bachelor of Arts degree, Bill became Collection Manager and then was promoted to Executive Director and ultimately promoted to COO, where he has overseen the entire firm’s operations for the past ten years.

Bill earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He has been honored as a speaker at the National Creditors Bar Association’s national conventions. He also founded the education track for collection managers for the National Creditors Bar Association and served as chair for six years. Bill is deeply involved in his community from sitting on the boards of non-profits to private clubs and is committed to making a difference. Bill resides in Brookfield, Wisconsin.

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

“And so, he’s taught me along the way that in order to be successful in whatever you do…Eight hours isn’t even close.”

“And so, my father taught me a lot about having a mental toughness of whatever you’re going through and in the fact that if you can control your fear and whatever else is racing through your mind, you can push forward into these uncomfortable situations as you grow as a human being.”

…”‘What are you thinking?’ Because those thoughts are really generating your feelings… And I use that a lot now as a business owner because you’re worried about everything that happens within a business.”

“‘Tell the truth’ really came from Manny Newburger… And so, we really make sure that, obviously, the company as well as my children know the value in telling the truth.”

Calvin Gray with T-Mobile Talks Future of 5G on the Georgia Podcast

Atlanta is known as the cradle for wireless communication.  In our studio is ‘the man behind the mobile network’.  Calvin Gray was the first of four engineering employees for T-Mobile.  He will tell us about T-Mobile’s advanced technology, 5G and the future of wireless communications.

Calvin Gray is the Senior Director of Engineering and Operations at T-Mobile and is often known as the “man behind the mobile network.” He fell into the wireless industry by luck in 1984 and moved to Atlanta in the ‘90s, where he became one of the first four engineering employees for T-Mobile. His ingenuity helped to build the very first network site in 1996-97 – long before it was mainstream – and he has since helped the company build 2,300 cell towers and make significant enhancements to local networks ahead of the Super Bowl. To ensure the strength of the network, they enhanced it in a way so that it would cover way more people than T-Mobile currently serves and made it a point to leave the infrastructure in place to continue to serve Atlanta – a game-changer for residents as they prepare for the launch of 5G.

Topics:

You’ve been called the “man behind the mobile network” here in Atlanta. Tell us a bit about your long tenure with T-Mobile. How did you get started? What do you love about working with the company?

You are also an Atlanta resident. How has your work in Atlanta made a difference to your own community?

Tell us a bit about the work your team did to prepare Atlanta for the SuperBowl – and how you ensured the results of that work would remain for residents and visitors?

Why is Atlanta such an important market for T-Mobile?

What is the craziest memory or story you have of working in the field?

The launch of 5G is just around the corner. Can you tell us a bit about what 5G will look like for businesses here in Atlanta? How will it make things easier for consumers?
