All Business With Jeffrey Hayzlett

AB 248 Naked Balls and Zombies with Michael Chernow and Danielle DiMartino Booth Even with everything happening in the world, many have their eyes on the economy. Today we tackled the nation’s financial health from two vastly different sectors, restaurants and Wall Street. Today’s first guest, Michael Chernow, is a celebrity chef, entrepreneur, and author. Michael opened up about the difficulties his restaurants have experienced over the last few months and the difficulties the industry as a whole faces in the immediate future. He also talked in-depth about his business mantra, “Fail often. Fail fast. Learn from your mistakes.” Michael also offered up a great analogy comparing success to a pro-sports team and how you’re only as strong as your worst player. You’ll also learn about what “Naked Balls” are and what his favorite meatball is. Our second guest knows the economy inside and out. Danielle DiMartino Booth is the CEO and Chief Strategist of Quill Intelligence. She’s also worked at the Federal Reserve

You hear the term “cyber security” tossed around nearly every day, but our first guest today on All Business on Jeffrey Hayzlett says it’s a lot more to it than logins and passwords. Jordan Brandt is the CEO and Co-Founder at Inpher a company that trademarked the term Secret ComputingⓇ. Jeffrey and Jordan talk about what secret computing means and how data protection is important for all businesses. Besides data, they also talk about Jordan’s furniture-making hobby, the type of things he has built, and why it sometimes upsets his wife. Today’s second guest, Laura Mineff, is the President of Array Design Studio and also talked about furniture, with a twist. She talked about the overall design, functionality, and why sound design goes beyond the living room or the board room. Laura says both need good bones and points out as we move into the post-COVID-19 world, what worked yesterday won’t work tomorrow. Whatever the design or process is, your need to make it fear free and convenient for everyone. C-Suite Sup

If you had an extra million dollars, would you give it away? In this episode of All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett hear how Mike Skrypnek went from what he called a “hoarding” industry to pledging to give away a million dollars a year. Mike also takes three months off a year and remains a successful entrepreneur. However, Mike and Jeffrey go well beyond the usual work-life balance talk and cover the three words Mike lives by: Grow, Get, and Give. They also talk about the importance of building your personal mountain of credibility, how you do it, and how it can help you get your time back.  C-Suite Supplies: https://c-suitesupplies.com/ C-Suite Loans: https://www.c-suiteloans.com/ Become a member of the C-Suite Network: https://go.c-suiteforums.com/executive-membership1585761368840 Learn more about your ad choices.

Stories are as old as time, but a good story never gets old. Our first guest is Author, Speaker and Story Coach, Lisa Cron. She talked about how story isn’t just somebody weaving a tale, it’s woven into our biology. She also tells Jeffrey the three elements all good stories share and the neuroscience behind it. She adds you don’t have to be a good writer to be a good storyteller, why we all need to ‘love the suck,’ and why anything truly worth doing is hard. September Dohrmann joins Jeffrey for the second half of the show. She is the CEO of CEO Space International which helps educate executives at all levels. September says with everything going on, we need to face the fear track and get on the hope track.

This episode of All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett takes a slight detour from business to reflect on the news of the day. Today’s guest is Rolonda Watts, who’s had a prolific career as a writer, speaker, journalist, voice actor, and comedienne. With all that’s going on in the U.S. today, Jeffrey and Rolonda had an honest, meaningful, and impactful conversation about race relations. She stresses the importance of having an open dialogue between races and we have to confront society’s demons head-on. For as bad as things are, Rolonda 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.

Envision the Experience with Nigel Travis and Alison Tendler   This episode of All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett begins with Nigel Travis, Principal at Challenge Consulting, but who is better known for his time in leadership Dunkin’ Brands, Papa John’s, Burger King and Blockbuster. Jeffrey and Nigel talked about the importance of matching the cadence of the businesses you serve.

He also talked about buying a professional football club in East London and how it’s adjusting without games for the time being. In the second half of the show, Dr. Alison Tendler joins Jeffrey.

In this world of video calls, never forget that you’re always on camera. In today’s episode of All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett, we talk with two experts about never going off air, how to always act like you’re on camera and the impact it creates. Our first guest says the moment of caring is over and now it’s for businesses to help. Shenan Reed is the president of Publicis Media, where she helps manage media accounts for some of the most prestigious brands. Shenan and Jeffrey talk about how fast big brands are pivoting their messages, where consumers seem to be spending and why she sees advertising is a service. She also talks about how to get personal when we’re apart, how the economy and the pandemic is affecting women disproportionately, and why she’s optimistic for the future. Influence is something you hear a lot about, but it’s more than people in your social media feed peddling products. Stacey Hanke, Founder & CEO, Stacey Hanke Inc., says there are levels of influence and it takes work to get to t

Old habits may be hard to break, new habits might be even harder to start. Both of today’s guests talk about why breaking those habits are good for everyone. Kevin Lombardo is the President & CEO of DORN Companies, a company focused on preventing injuries to keep people out of healthcare and worker’s comp. Kevin and Jeffrey start with a trip down memory lane (Kevin once hired Jeffrey!) and then get down to business to talk about health. Kevin thinks company wellness programs will be important in the post-COVID-19 world and explains why businesses need to think about the conditions affecting all workers -- even what “pre-existing condition” millennials bring with them to work. Claudia Harvey gave up a successful career on Bay Street (Canada’s Wall Street) to become an entrepreneur. She is a Founding Partner and President of BG Wealth Group and inventor of Dig It Apparel, a line of gardening gloves exclusively for women. Claudia was about to launch a new product when COVID-19 hit. She talked about the hard wo

We look to the future for trends and look back at the past for wisdom in today’s episode of All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett. If you think video games are just for kids, during the conversation Chris Erb, founder & Managing Partner at Tripleclix shows us all why its big business for everyone. He runs a marketing agency that brings brands and video games together and why it’s such a growing market that brands should be exploring further. They also cover the differences between gamers and e-sports, why Fortnite is bigger than the movies, and why messaging for gamers has to be authentic.  We switch from video games to ancient philosophy. Cristina DiGiacomo is the world’s first Industrial Philosopher and founder of MorAlchemy. She talked about how those old ideas are universal and remain relevant today. Cristina also introduced Jeffrey to the “mental clutter audit,” which she defines as taking look at what you’re worrying about, tracking it down and getting rid of whatever it is that’s worrying you.

Happy Memorial Day. In honor of the holiday, we’re highlighting key lessons from the C-Suite Network Online Battleship leadership forum last month.

Find out why she says 80% is good enough, how a cocktail napkin can save your business, how it’s OK to feel fear, and the importance of a debrief is good for the entire team.   That’s just a sampling of the lessons Carey offered business-people at every level of the organization.

One of today’s guests said happiness is the greatest virus and after this episode of All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett, you’ll see it’s contagious.  David Meltzer, co-founder of Sports 1 Marketing, kicks off the show, but at one time David was the CEO of Leigh Steinberg Sports & Entertainment Agency, the inspiration behind the movie “Jerry Maguire.” His mission is simple, to help people be happy, and both David and Jeffrey agree, that your biggest asset is the ability to connect with people. Also, David shared the meaning of G.O.Y.A. and why we all need to apply that to ourselves once in a while. Today’s second guest is Arianna Huffington, who needs no introduction. You might recognize her from her best-selling wellness books, her numerous TV appearances, or the news website that still bears her name. She talked about the 4 curves we need to flatten, starting with the COVID-19 curve, the problems the pandemic is exposing with our society, overall health, and mental health. Arianna says ‘behavior trumps gen

Get out your business tool belt today. We’re helping you build your platform and leadership skills on today’s All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett. We start with technology guru Shelly Palmer. Not only is Shelly the CEO of The Palmer Group, he holds the patents on some of the underlying technology behind some pretty big TV shows. Jeffrey and Shelly go beyond the tech talk and talk about the importance of building your old fashion, in-person network. Then they take a deep dive into the importance of controlling your data, the importance of adapting, and why future-proofing is a waste of your time. Dr. Gary McGrath, CEO of Statarius, joins us for the second half of the show to drop a leadership bombshell – from his military and corporate experience. Gary boiled leadership into four different value categories and talked about how spending $15 could help you become a better leader. Gary and Jeffrey also discussed about the importance of offering both tough love and compassion to your team.    Connect with Shelle

Getting your message out there and staying authentic are important at any time, but especially now. Brands across all industries are changing their messaging – giving the people what they want. You’ve seen the TV commercials pushing social responsibility in order to adapt to the current situation; however, some did it quicker while others lingered and scrambled to catch up. Today’s first guest, Tom Edwards, Technology Evangelist at BlackFin360 and CMO for Tripleclix explains why it’s important for brands to get engaged at a time like this, and the connection between behavior, marketing, and authenticity. Jeffrey and Tom also talk about video games, how tech is changing our lives, and how it could change our environment (not birds and trees) in the not so distant future.     Podcasting is a great way to get your message out there and few people know more about podcasting than Chris Krimitsos, founder of Cutting Edge Events. He runs PodFest, one of the country’s largest podcasting conventions. Like many busine

CChange is in the air. Today’s first guest is Mary Lue Peck, CEO of the National Speakers Association (NSA). Her job is to build, maintain, and grow the professional speaking community as well as be receptive to change – leading with yes. NSA is changing its business model to be adaptable for the world we now live in. Mary Lue says we need to think of all big events, virtual and in person as more than an 8-hour daily lecture series. Despite admitting they have fallen behind attracting more Millennials and Gen Z’ers, they’re changing that to entice younger professionals interested in pursuing a speaking career.  Speaking of the next generation, today’s second guest has some advice for them: “sit down, shut up and listen up.” Dr. Jeffrey Magee is not only a professional speaker himself, but a best-selling author, trainer, and publisher of Professional Performance Magazine. You better get comfortable for this interview because Dr. Magee talks fast and gives a lot of key insights. He says that following your pa

You never stop learning and today’s guests are proof of that adage. Bob Pizzini is a decorated naval officer who used to dismantle bombs throughout his 26 year career. Now, he’s a business owner and CEO of iFly Virginia Beach -- an indoor skydiving franchise, and helps train the next generation of leaders as CEO of Elevate Your Leadership.  Bob says it’s important that everyone on your team is aware of their level of responsibility and where they fit into the success of the operation. This doesn’t mean that leaders shouldn’t stop learning, Bob calls leadership a “perishable” skill. In fact, find out what skills Bob says all leaders should constantly brush up on.  Can you tell when you’re being lied to? Our second guest does. Traci Brown is a fraud-busting, body language expert who made a living interpreting the body language of criminals and politicians (and sometimes, they’re one in the same). While Traci doesn’t give away all her tools of the trade, she does lend us all some insight into how to spot a li

Today we “look behind the curtain” of the C-Suite Network and TallGrass Public Relations with Jeffrey’s business partner, Karl Post. Jeffrey and Karl go way back, and their first meeting got off to a rocky start.

COVID-19 is making business chaotic and you should embrace it according to today’s guest. Bob Miglani, loves chaos so much he named his company, Embrace the Chaos. During the interview, Bob and Jeffrey talk about the four forces of chaos, staying grounded and a valuable business lesson you can learn from ice cream. He also says while you can’t control the chaos, you can control yourself and your creative response to what’s going on around you. Times like these are ripe for experimentation. Don’t settle on Plan A and Plan B, have multiple plan A’s and be ready to use them.
