All Business With Jeffrey Hayzlett

Business is a series of experiences we should learn from. If we stop learning, we fall behind.  Those are the themes behind both of today’s guests on All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett. Today’s first guest is Evan Dash, CEO of StoreBound a company that sells small home appliances to stores nationwide and their slogan is “Happiness is Homemade.” Evan worked his way up through the retail ranks, eventually landing executive job at Macy’s before striking out on his own. Evan talks about why leaving corporate America was one the best decisions he ever made, why retail is still important and Jeffrey’s idea to take over the retail world.  Next, prepared to be grounded with Tina Greenbaum, CEO of Mastery Under Pressure. Tina trains everyone from CEOs to athletes to handle the stressors of performing in high-pressured situations. She also tells Jeffrey something we all need to remember -- not everything is in your control. Tina is a big believer of why we should never stop working on ourselves, even when times get t

"Get Back to Work” week continues on All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett with two guests focusing on different ways companies should focus on getting ready to get back to business. First, we hop into the F.A.S.T. lane with innovation expert Stephen Shapiro. It used to be that innovation was all about creating products, now it’s all about solving problems. COVID-19 is showing businesses there are a lot of questions out there and creative answers are needed to solve problems. Both Stephen and Jeffrey use F.A.S.T. as an adaptable acronym to get things moving, but have different interpretations. You’ll have to listen to find out what they agree the “F” stands for. Today’s second guest, Allison Arden, reminds us all in the possibility of testing, exploring, and seeing everything with fresh eyes. Allison is the Founder & CEO of Soul + Co, a company that helps people and companies gain greater self-awareness through insights experiences, art, and soul. Allison and Jeffrey have a wide-ranging conversation about mixi

We’re kicking off “Get America Back to Work” week with two heavyweights in their respective industries.  Healthcare is in the spotlight during the COVID-19 pandemic. We all know where to go if we need treatment, but few of us understand the complex healthcare ecosystem. Cost is a big concern for customers, employers, and hospitals and today’s first guest is trying to change that. Nelson Griswold is Managing Director, NextGen Benefits Network where he helps businesses get the coverage their employees deserve without breaking the budget. Hear why he thinks your business needs a healthcare “coach” and why he says despite all the talk, Washington isn’t interested in changing the system. Another thing that’s evolving during the pandemic is cybersecurity. As the workforce moved home, a company’s data is more vulnerable than ever. In the second half of the show, Jeffrey is joined by Matt Preschern, CMO of ForcePoint, a world-wide cybersecurity firm. Matt and Jeffrey’s conversation goes beyond the idea of data priva

In this episode of All Business, Jeffrey talks with two veterans of different industries, who happen to also be old friends, to talk about how timing is everything in business and comedy. Long-time TV host, entrepreneur, and best-selling book author, JJ Ramberg, joins Jeffrey to talk about business. You may recognize JJ from her run as host of Your Business, the second longest running program in MSNBC history. Now that she’s away from the camera, JJ is focusing on her businesses, including her newest venture, GoodPods, an app that weaves together the popularity of podcasting and social media. JJ and Jeffrey talk about how GoodPods is hoping the solve the “what podcast should I listen to next?” problem, why podcasting is still a good medium to get and how entrepreneurship seems to run in her bloodline.   Next up on the show is NSA Hall of Fame Speaker, and funny man, Tim Gard. He is known for using storytelling and humor in his presentations to help audiences connect to his message. Tim and Jeffrey agree tha

On today’s All Business Live! with Jeffrey Hayzlett, we tackle two issues in the headlines: healthcare and cybersecurity, both untamed frontiers in different ways. Our first guest, Deb Ault, founder and president of AIMM (Ault International Medical Management) gives listeners a dose of reality on our current healthcare system. She says COVID-19 has turned healthcare into the wild, wild west creating pandemonium among business owners. She says that while not all of us will get sick, the expense of those who do could upend the entire system for employers and employees. So, what can be done? Become a more informed consumer. Business owners need to get smarter, too, by taking more control of their health insurance. Deb says with employers’ help, the healthcare system as we know it could be changed forever. Our next guest is trying to wrangle a different corner of the modern wild west, the internet. John Sileo, CEO & President of The Sileo Group, had his identity stolen – twice! Once was personal. Once was busin

This episode of All Business Live is all about building up your bottom line, but in different ways. If you’ve ever wanted to break through to top c-suite leaders, you’ll want to listen to Jeffrey’s conversation with Nathan Kievman the CEO of The Linked Strategies Group. Nathan talks about why relationships are key, in business and in life and why messaging has to be a big part of the conversation. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, you can’t afford not to be authentic. Nathan also offers tips on whether your pitch letters should be short & sweet or long & detailed. His answer might surprise you.  On the second part of the show, the conversation turns to growing your portfolio and your IRA. Guest Randy Tate is the CEO & Co-Founder of iFlip Investor Inc., and AI-powered software company. iFlip’s algorithm “skips the dips” to beat the market and Randy talks about why you may be paying too much for your broker. He also shares insights on how iFlip helps investors avoid the downs no matter your bankroll. Learn

It doesn’t take much to amaze your customers, you just have to keep them happy. That’s the advice from today’s first guest, Shep Hyken, the Chief Amazement Officer at Shepard Presentations. Now is the time to continue to build the relationships with old customers, reconnect with past clients and don’t forget honesty is always the best policy. Shep says it’s times like these that magnify what’s right or wrong about your company. He also tells Jeffrey why building a “cult of the customer” is a good thing.  Digital Mobile marketing is the future, but we’re stuck in an analogue messaging world. Today’s second guest has made it his mission to change that. Doug Pittman is the founder and CEO of BoardActive Software. He explains how the software will help the next wave of marketers make personal connections with consumers by being ‘VisualMatic.’ Learn how a multi-state trail hike inspired Doug to move forward with his vision and why he says entrepreneurs never really sleep.

The world will be different once we’re through the COVID-19 pandemic and both guests today say it will be better. First up is branding and image consultant, Sheila Anderson. Not only has she trademarked the term “Return On Image” (ROI), she’s a best-selling author who has helped many businesses build their brand by developing their personal image. Sheila reminds us that even though we’re working from home, you’re still at work. Dress like it. Every video-conference call is an opportunity to make an impression and it’s not just by what you wear. Sheila also uncovers the difference between a personal brand and a corporate brand and why you should pay attention to the eye candy behind you. U.S. Army veteran, David Veech, joins Jeffrey for the second half of the podcast. David helps leaders at all levels engage and motivate their teams. He says the best thing leaders can do right now is encourage people NOT to return to normal, instead help them understand they will be returning to better. David also shares wit

If you have aspirational goals for yourself before, during, or after the pandemic, this episode of All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett is a must-listen.   Jennifer Dorsey, Editorial Director for Entrepreneur Press, joins Jeffrey to talk about the business of business books. Jennifer covers everything from the basics you need to know before you put pen to paper and why writing needs become a habit. She talks about what it takes to get your book proposal to her desk as well as the challenges and opportunities she’s seeing in the publishing industry right now.   The book talk blends into this episode’s second guest Dr. Greg Reid, owner of The Millionaire Mentor. Greg’s book ideas have been rejected more than 250 times by publishers of all sizes, but it didn’t stop him from writing many best-sellers. Greg may be one of the few people you’ll ever meet who has scratched off everything off his bucket list. While he isn’t adding to the list, he has found a new way to keep the idea alive. Greg also talked about buildin

Battleship week is coming to a close. We hope you’ve taken with you some key insights from highly-decorated, battle-tested military leaders.

Today is Day THREE of Battleship Week and our guest was none other than the first female F-14 Tomcat pilot, Carey Lohrenz.

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. There’s something in this keynote for every member of your team.

Water is something most Americans take for granted, but it’s a precious commodity around the world. Grant Page, the Founder and President of Magna Imperio Systems joins Jeffrey for the first half of this episode of All Business Live! Grant talks bout how his time in the military got him thinking about the importance and business of water. Not only does Grant’s company use top technology to treat water and save energy, he’s helping bring useable water to communities that need it around the world. Hear how Grant is on a mission to impact 2 BILLION lives in 180 countries around the world within our children’s lifetime with high recovery water treatment solutions. While water is essential for all life, businesses live and die through price. Executives worry about whether they are charging too much or not enough for their product or service. Our second guest helps take the guesswork out of the pricing. Per Sjofors, through his company Atenga Insights uses data to help companies make sure their price is right. Co

Work is changing. Millions are working from home, while others are looking for work. These are just some of the changes both of our guests deal with every day on the front lines of business. Johnny C. Taylor, Jr., President and CEO of SHRM (Society for Human Resource Management) joins Jeffrey for the first half of the show to talk about putting the ‘humanity’ in human resources. While there is a lot of turmoil in the working world right now, many companies are doing everything they can to invest in their employees.

AB 212 Live! Leading During a Slow-Moving Train Wreck with George Brunt and Dr. Gleb Tsipursky Busy people stay busy, even in the midst of a slow-moving train wreck.  While both guests on today’s All Business Live with Jeffrey Hayzlett come from different perspectives, they shared similar messages. Up first is George Brunt, founder of Business Legal Management. Jeffrey and George talk about how all businesses need to work through the ‘captains of no’ -- whether it’s inside your company or an outside force like government boards. Now is the time to break free from the procedures and lead with capacity. If there is no action, there is no resolve. Dr. Gleb Tsipursky the CEO of Disaster Avoidance Experts. Dr. Tsipursky is on a mission to protect leaders from making bad decisions due to their cognitive biases. He challenged Jeffrey right away by telling him not to trust your gut because it’s not well adapted for the modern world.

Now is not the time to sell, now is the time to listen to your customers.  That theme forms the foundation of both guests on this episode of All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett.  Our first guest, Mark Boundy the CEO of Boundy Consulting and author of “Radical Value: Elevate Your Company – and Career – by Unleashing the Power Within Customer Centricity.” Jeffrey and Mark get real about how salespeople stink at understanding what a customer values, and those that do are on the sales varsity squad. This conversation is what every sales manager and on-the-street sales professional needs to hear. For the second half of the episode, Jeff Pedowitz joins Jeffrey to talk about the importance of arming your sales team with the best information available that will help them get stuff done. Keeping with the theme of the show, they also talked about how you can’t rush the sales process and to be mindful of your customers purchasing plans.
