TG Talk

The fourth episode of TG Talk features SAE Foundation Trustee, Tom LaMantia. Did you know that interviewing is just like camping? No? Well, according to Tom, it is.

Tom is an entrepreneur with over 30 years of experience in digital transformation, which means he uses the newest and best technology to improve his client’s processes and customer relations. In addition to that, Tom advises senior-level management across many industries, guiding a variety of areas, including strategy, operations, marketing, and finance. He is also a professor for Northwestern University’s Farley Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation and Co-Founder and Managing Director of Magenium Solutions, a successful Microsoft service provider.

Tom has started several businesses throughout his career and thus has learned many difficult lessons along the way. Foundation CEO, Steve Mitchell interviewed Tom earlier this month on various topics, including advice on strategically prepping for and giving an interview (outrunning the other campers). However, despite its name, this episode explores so much more than career advice. Tune in for a discussion on striving to live up to the True Gentleman every day, setting personal and professional goals for ourselves, and crafting the perfect apology.

The second episode of TG Talk features Justin Tinkler from Kansas State University, winner of the 2019-2020 John O. Moseley Award for Fraternity Zeal. Justin advises about recruiting the best members, setting goals as a chapter, and adapting chapter goals, operations, and recruitment tactics this fall.

The first episode of TG Talk features Ross Pometta, Manager of Membership & Records, and Kaden Mortenson, Eminent Treasurer from Nevada Beta. Ross and Kaden give advice on financial planning for the fall including information on the fall invoice, navigating difficult conversations with chapter brothers, and utilizing OmegaFi to streamline your membership and financial records.

TG Talk is an all-new initiative brought to you by the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Foundation! Together with the Fraternity, we will host bi-weekly discussions on fraternity updates, best practices, and chapter operations. We will engage with various audiences, including staff, volunteers, and undergraduates, to understand their perspective. We will also speak to our partner organizations to give information about available resources, how to use them, and links and tutorials on our website. Additionally, we will feature guest speakers with a focus on a variety of topics, including leadership, professional development, and current events. We plan to engage with notable alumni to gain an understanding of how their fraternal experience has influenced their success and wisdom from their unique experiences.

The TG Talk podcast is an opportunity to engage with staff, volunteers and undergraduate members of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. This platform provides conversations around chapter operations and how members are rising above even through trying times. Topics include; Finances, Recruitment, Alumni Engagement, Service and Philanthropy, Scholarship, University Relations, and Ritual and Values. Tune in every other Wednesday starting on 8/26/2020 to learn more about how Sigma Alpha Epsilon continues to Rise Above.
