Brian Gerstner, President of White Label IQ, has been at the forefront of digital resource innovation for over a decade. His organization is built on the premise that modern-day advertising and marketing companies need more streamlined methods to deliver their projects quickly and effectively. White Label IQ provides solutions for efficiently managing these services, offering an organized platform for content management, creating user accounts and integrations with existing systems.

He advised that finding your focus is essential to gaining a competitive edge and enabling scalable growth initiatives. Without it, assessing the market can be drawn-out and inefficient, resulting in missed opportunities. With that renewed understanding of your target audience and how to serve them better, you can then reinvest resources back into scaling the business. Crafting strategies around that focus is the first step toward achieving success.

Brian also believed that many business owners get stuck trying to do too much at once, namely getting caught up in the details of execution. This can detrimentally impede growth and often prevent them from realizing their intended vision for the company. To help combat this challenge and unlock their goals, leveraging an EOS program may be the key to success. This program can help provide clarity of roles for those in charge by creating distinct lines and lanes between vision setting and tangible execution.

Brian advised leaders to consider They have to stay in a position where there is gonna be anxiety; there is gonna be [dis]comfort. Just get used to it.

Lauren DeLisa Coleman  @UltraLauren  is a creative visionary in the digital space, delivering insight and understanding of how to efficiently leverage technology, culture, and public sentiment within the business. Her expertise is navigating the nexus between pop culture, millennials, emerging tech behavior, and business/governance.

She advised that finding a reliable and supportive network of other businesses can be one of the biggest challenges for entrepreneurs. Connecting with companies who are willing to refer you to their customers and actively promote your services can make a remarkable difference in the success of a business.

Lauren also believed that facing the challenge of combining service work with an AI-driven media company,  it’s important to recognize that there are areas for both creativity and business in her current role. Creativity is needed to meet the demands of various clients who come for digital branding, artist booking, and consulting on emerging technology, or metaverse applications – all within the same agency.

Lauren advised leaders to consider having enough of a connected network that is supportive and referring.

Radiofrequency-based technology — which has already been employed in procedures like imaging, radiotherapy, and cancer target treatment — ensures accuracy and efficacy when it comes to obtaining results from these tests.

He advised that finding the ability to innovate and create something is a skill many of us strive for. But even more rewarding is the potential that what we create can have to make a significant positive difference in someone’s life.

Sergio also believed that regardless of the speed of the company’s growth,  it's essential to maintain the utmost level of quality of your products, as well as preserve the integrity and values that make up your team culture.

Sergio also advised leaders to consider that “it's a huge point when you're not aligned when you got people on your team who are not aligned with your mission, the vision, the values of the company, it is awfully hard. You can hire the best of the best, but when they don't align, everybody feels uncomfortable.”

#261 #Dave Makin founded @Nexus6, a full-service marketing agency for clients small and large based in Des Moines, Iowa. Under his direction, the company has become well known for the innovative solutions it offers its Manhattan-based clients and customers from a variety of industries.

He advised that The biggest hurdle for many entrepreneurs is self-doubt. When starting out, it can be difficult to convince others of your vision and ability to execute it flawlessly. However, in order to be successful, you must believe in yourself and your idea wholeheartedly.

Dave also believed that the creative journey is filled with peaks and valleys, some of which can be discouraging. We often find ourselves in what many refer to as the Valley of Disappointment as we witness our projects come nearer to completion. As the reality of a project sets in, doubts may arise - will it actually work? It's important to remember that things do not typically happen overnight and there is a natural process at work that requires time. Staying resilient throughout this creative process can help stave off feelings of disappointment and provide fuel for your vision until it comes to fruition.

Dave advised leaders to consider you … have to be humble to be able to … take feedback and make the changes that you need to make in order to scale it.

#260 #DennisGoedheid is the visionary CEO and Founder behind  @CasiolaUS  ,a flourishing vacation rental company that provides travelers with the perfect home away from home. Established in 2014, Casiola currently manages a total of 450 homes across South Florida, Orlando, and the Caribbean island of Aruba.

With the right mix of talented, driven individuals, success will inevitably follow. At the same time, it is necessary to consider that often the weakest link can dampen the potential success of a team.  

Dennis also believed that it is of utmost importance for any captain of industry or forward-thinking entrepreneur to carefully select and manage their team to make sure every member is contributing positively towards achieving success.   

Dennis also advised leaders to consider; This is a business. If you can keep it growing … it could become like a lifestyle business.

#259 RJWhite, the owner of the  @VipersProBasketball  located in Lake County, Illinois. When she first took over the team, there wasn't anyone in the audience-- literally. The only sound was the wheatgrass blowing across the gym space. But with dedication and some creative thinking, he was able to bring in over 3,500 people and reach fire code.   

She advised that "to have a basketball league that focused on both connecting the community and highlighting their players' talents, she had to figure out how her team could gain influence in the area. With the use of market research, you can understand what would make the most impact on this particular crowd. Knowing the dynamics of people in the local community was also important in order for her team to stand out and be successful."  

RJ also believed that "as a business owner, it is essential to nurture your business in the same way you would a child. Having a business is like parenting: there will be highs and lows along the way, but watching it grow and evolve and having those conversations are part of what makes the journey so rewarding. Similar to raising kids, running a successful business requires parental care and dedication; any hiccups or disagreements along the road are natural, but keeping motivated to push forward is key to both endeavors."   

RJ advised leaders to "consider, there's no way that you're gonna have something and you don't have a love for it."  

According to RJ,  #BrittneyGriner  is someone who she thinks is an amazing leader in her circle of relationships and exemplifies the advice he gives in the interview.
