Cornhole has moved from backyards and bars, to primetime on ESPN. Stacey talks about how he got inspired by tailgating, how many Americans play the sport, and why he decided to take it pro.

If you’ve ever been hemp or CBD curious, this episode of All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett is for you.   The world of hemp can be an alphabet soup of confusion for the outsider: CBD, CBG, THC to name a few. Not to mention, it seems that hemp products are everywhere -- from the gas station to the fashion boutique. Then in some states, hemp products are lumped in with legal marijuana which adds to the confusion. Today’s guest on All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett helps clear the air in the hemp vs. marijuana debate. Gus Hanger is the CEO of Industrial Hemp Farms, a Colorado-based firm that grows and processes hemp from seed to scale. Beyond CBD oil, Industrial Hemp Farms is one of the largest processors of hemp flowers. Gus explains to Jeffrey what a hemp flower is, how it’s used, and how the hemp industry is like the Wild Wild West.

Sometimes you just need to reach out, either across the aisle or to someone else to get things done. From Harvard Business School to Capitol Hill, our first guest is a trailblazer. Barbara Franklin served five presidents, most notably as U.S. Secretary of Commerce under President George H.W. Bush. Barbara talked about arriving in Washington in the early 1970s and the women who helped reshape gender roles in government. She also talked about why promoting and championing women is a bipartisan issue and why measuring progress is more than just counting. Barbara also enlightened Jeffrey on an important equal-rights milestone coming up many of us may not know about.  Kimberly Roush joins Jeffrey in the second part of the show.

At the C-Suite Network, we continue our commitment to keep the difficult conversations at the forefront. Today’s episode of All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett featured two insightful, candid conversation. We start with Corey Pegues – who went from a crack dealer to a decorated veteran of the NYPD. Corey and Jeffrey talk about the “Blue Wall” of police culture, why all police officers shouldn’t be lumped together, and what he thinks needs to change with our police force. Corey talks about why he feels that this moment is different for the Black Lives Matter movement and what needs to be done to change the overall culture of justice in America. The topic may have switched to connections for the second half of the show, but the conversation is just as real. Kelli Richards, the president of All Access Group, is known in Silicon Valley as a “super connector.” She has worked with some of the biggest names in tech and music throughout her career; and while Kelli hates to drop names, Jeffrey does coax a few out of

Today we're replaying a conversation a few weeks ago with Rolanda Watts. She's had a varied career including being a writer, speaker, journalist, voice actor and comedienne just to name a few. With all that’s going on in the U.S. today Jeffrey and Rolanda had an honest and respectful conversation into race relations. Rolanda says it’s important to have an open dialogue between races and we have to confront societies demons head-on. For as bad as things are, Rolanda believes we will come out the other side of this unrest better adding “Crap makes gardens grow.” She also channeled a conversation she had with the late poet Maya Angelou who reminded us all to be a rainbow in somebody else’s cloud.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Jeffrey's first guest is Gayle Jennings-O'Byrne, co-founder of The WOCStar Fund, a company that invests in entrepreneurs of color.

Racism, police brutality, and brutal honesty. This episode of “All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett” tackles the biggest issue right now with the help of co-host Rolonda Watts.  First, we get an inside glimpse of one of the largest police departments in the country. Retired LAPD Sergeant Cheryl Dorsey, who worked all four bureaus in Los Angeles, talks about how the culture inside police departments starts at the top. She added why minorities don’t want to call the police and how her philosophy “I care, but I don’t” helped her deal with the stress of the job. Sgt. Dorsey mentioned how every police department has a “Billy Bad Ass” and why she thinks the movement to ‘defund’ the police is missing the mark. If you really want to change your community’s police department, Sgt. Dorsey says there’s one thing you can do that has nothing to do with money. Dr. Jeffrey Gardere joins us for the second half of the show. Known as “America’s Psychologist” for his numerous TV appearances, Dr. Jeff talked about what all this

On the field and in the boardroom, everyone has their job to do and teamwork contributes to the overall success of the company and the team. Earlier this week, former NFL players Bret Lockett and Tom Flick joined the C-Suite Network for a digital discussion on the parallels in leadership between business and football. Defense takes the field first. Bret Lockett is a former NFL safety who played under Bill Belichick on the New England Patriots for three years. Coach Belichick is known for creating a system where everyone is assigned their job and does it to the best of their abilities. Once everyone on the team buys into that mindset, success is soon to follow. Bret says business is no different. He talked to Jeffrey about current events, Black Lives Matter, and his true feelings on the National Football League’s response to it all. Next comes the offense with Quarterback Tom Flick.

AB 253 Live! Happing Camping: KOA is Open for Business with Toby O’Rourke Summer is here and Americans are ready to go on vacation and for many that means camping. Today, Jeffrey was joined by KOA President & CEO, Toby O’Rourke, to talk about the changes the camping industry has faced and why they’ll become an essential part in the nation’s recovery. Toby says it’s a timeless business, but its constantly changing. One family’s tent could be another family’s glamped-out RV. But KOA doesn’t just cater to what you think of traditional campers. The campgrounds play a vital role to traveling workers from healthcare to construction. She also talks about how KOA navigated the COVID-19 pandemic and the unusual shift KOA found itself in during quarantine.

Business moves fast, but the most important things take the most time. In this episode of All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett, we hear from two business experts with different approaches.  The COVID-19 pandemic jump-started change, including some of the largest businesses and brands. Our first guest knows this first-hand. Tara Walpert Levy is the Vice President of Agency and Brand Solutions at Google and YouTube. She says the pandemic didn’t create trends, it accelerated them. For example, she says many companies toyed for years with digital transformation, only to end up plunging right in and going digital for survival sake. So, how do businesses know if these changes worked? She says that metric is as old as business itself. It all comes down to outcomes. Our next guest says you’re always negotiating. Greg Williams is The Master Negotiator and is a world-renowned expert on negotiation and body language. Greg says whoever’s asking the questions is in control of the negotiation. Listen closely, Greg proves i

If you think there seems to be a Walgreen’s on every corner, you’re not wrong.

Patrick and Jeffrey talk about some of the fast changes Walgreen’s staffers made during the pandemic, including what to do with 9 million red noses for the “Red Nose Day” fundraiser. Patrick also talked about how the pharmacist’s role at the stores has slowly changed from prescription filler to community builder.  Winning a Request for Proposal (RFP) can make or break many businesses. So how do you stand out? Lisa Rehurek based her business on it. Lisa is the Founder & CEO, The RFP Success Company and she helps companies win RFPs.

Also, take advantage of the deadline timeline and speak their

he phrase “yes, and…” isn’t just a pillar of improv theater, it should also form the foundation of your business according to today’s guest on All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett. Linda Kaplan Thaler is the President of Kaplan Thaler Productions and there’s a good chance you know some of the brands she helped make famous -- the AFLAC duck, the Toys “R”Us theme song and the “YES! YES! YES” from Herbal Essences. They all came from Linda’s ad agency.  She started her career as an actress and comedian and continues to use some of the lessons she learned on stage in the business world. Linda offered listeners great advice on how to stay positive despite what’s going on in the economy. She also believes that little things ad up and it’s important to be grateful and think about how you can help others: even your competition. Linda also shared with Jeffrey why doubt is important and why you need to think laterally, not literally. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On this episode of All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett we follow two different industries sharing one common theme: Disruption. Our first guest is involved in one of the most disrupting businesses out there: cannabis. Tony Hunter is the chairman of Revolution Enterprises. Jeffrey and Tony talk about the business, why he started in the business, the unprecentened growth and what the future might hold. Besides the disruption of the cannabis industry, the pair talked about what it will take to get back to work and why you need to listen to your people if your office opens back up. While both Jeffrey and Tony have held many positions in business, there’s one title they both agree is the best one they’ve ever “earned”. While Artificial Intelligence can scare some people today’s second guest says it shouldn’t. AI will help you get your “F’s up”. Not that kind of F. Chad Burmeister, the CEO of ScaleX.ai. explains to Jeffrey what the F stands for and you might be surprised. ScaleX.ai uses AI to help in the sales pro
