What does it take to go from seeking sales door-to-door to helping $100 million industrial companies achieve 10x growth? Caxy CEO Mike LaVista has done all that and more in his 23-year journey scaling a tech consulting firm, and he shares many of his secrets for success here today. 

Starting with an 80's cover band background, Mike's transition to tech was accidental but fueled by a focus on client needs. Caxy's key pivot, he reveals, was niching down to serve industrial companies scaling to $1 billion. Noting that this specialization dramatically increased project value, Mike highlights Caxy’s innovative "Game Changer Assessment" which has become a cornerstone, positioned as an investment, not a cost. He details how client acquisition has evolved from cold calls to referrals, partnerships, and content marketing - including his own podcast - and that scaling the team has required standardized processes and objective hiring assessments. Mike finishes up today by describing his transformation from tech expert to strategic CEO, embracing coaching and a growth mindset, and propelling Caxy toward exponential growth as it aims to make today's top line tomorrow's bottom line in three years.
