Your Brand Amplified

About Tim Fitzpatrick, Rialto Marketing:
I am an entrepreneur/business owner with expertise in marketing and business growth. I have 20+ years of entrepreneurial experience with a passion for developing and growing businesses. That passion served me well in operating and managing a wholesale distribution company I co-owned for nine years. The company grew an average of 60% a year before being acquired in 2005.

Since then, I've had failures and successes that have been valuable learning experiences. I started Rialto Marketing in 2013 and have been helping service businesses simplify marketing so they can grow with less stress. Most people overcomplicate marketing. It doesn't have to be that way.

About Alex: 
I started my first business at the age of 10. I began selling used golf balls in my neighborhood and realized that I enjoyed generating sales and keeping track of profit margins. (Yes, odd for a 10-year-old!)

Fast forward to my late teen years, and I launched a technology company that created virtual tours of properties listed for sale on the MLS. I fell in love with real estate and decided to invest as soon as I turned 18. REI was a short-lived career choice due to the 2007 – 2009 recession. (Yes, I lost a TON of money.)

I pivoted to an industry that was thriving during the recession years.

I got my foot in the door (Thanks, dad!) at an aerospace company. I was a part-time receiving clerk who broke down boxes and took out the trash. (Humbling for a guy who was on the way to the Forbes 30 under 30 list!)

I discovered a passion for aerospace and corporate business. I worked my way up in the industry and eventually became a senior executive in a large publicly traded aerospace organization.

After 15 years, I decided to return to my first love of entrepreneurship. Here is some of what I've done (Note: I started working on some entrepreneurial ventures three years before leaving aerospace.)

I got into a lot of fun things. Including building a globally ranked Christian multi-author blog (DailyPS.com) with more than 130 writers creating daily content. I did some web design. I traveled all around the USA, speaking at conferences. I was coaching people wanting to start their own businesses/side hustles.

I loved coaching. It inspired me to launch my podcast, Creating a Brand. (Now a top 20 entrepreneurship podcast on Apple!)

This finally brings us to the present day. On March 10th, 2020, I had the idea for PodMatch.com. On June 15th, 2020, we launched it into early beta. (Bootstrapped, lean SaaS startup!)

On September 27, 2021, we launched our second podcasting software, PodcastSOP.com.

I now spend my time adding value to people's lives by being a guest on podcasts!

Angela is a retired dentist turned personal branding expert. How did that happen?

 At 24, she started living her dental dream which turned into an enviable dental career, turning a broken-down practice into her dream practice which started her branding journey. She lived the elusive dream of providing the services she loved, on clients she loved, while earning more and working less.

She had it all... until she didn't.

 Overnight, she lost everything after sustaining a career­ ending injury that  killed  her ability to practice. She rebranded herself as a business coach for dentists through Linkedln. Her fearless rebuilding of her brand was noticed by other professionals who asked her to transform their personal brands on LinkedIn, and so, Unleashing Influence was born.

During the first 10 months of the Covid-19 pandemic she grew her agency from 2.5 to 14 full time team members and then realized she had built the wrong company for what she wanted out of life. She sold off the agency and niched Unleashing Influence back down to what she could uniquely do ... transform people's brands through one-on-one Media Mastery programs, Branding Bootcamps, and speaking from the stage.

 Sometimes you have to figure out what you don't want to do before you can do what you uniquely do best. Angela's mission is to build credible experts' remarkable personal brands so they can change their clients' world with what they do.

After ten years of leading in fast paced-demanding environments, and a lifetime of transmuting pain into power, I discovered a passion for coaching women on tools to cope with the stress that comes with being in these environments. Through virtual one-on-one coaching sessions, guided retreats and workshops, I coach to take the limits off.

Matthew used to be an ashamed introverted dyslexic, but turned himself into a successful extroverted dyslexic entrepreneur. (Some things you can't fix) 😜

In his words:
I started out in life struggling but extremely blessed to have some incredible mentors & teachers who helped me find my full potential.

Through baby steps, I went from being a stuttering introvert who struggled with reading & writing to an extrovert who performed on stages around the world.

That newfound confidence led me to become an entrepreneur, a marketing junkie, & a sales expert.

I've built 3 B2B profitable companies in the last 13 years all built on the back of smart marketing & sales. I'm honoured that 100s of companies (large & small) have hired me to help them implement my marketing & sales strategies. To name a few, I've worked with RE/MAX, Valvoline, FedEx, Chef's Plate, League & TouchBistro.

My expertise is SEM, SEO, CRO, PPC, Funnel Optimization, LinkedIn Marketing, Email Automation & Sales.
