Coffee with Jon - Think Big. Get Unstuck. Grow Your Business

Jon talks with Gino Wickman, Creator of Entrepreneurial Leap at Entrepreneurial Leap, about what it takes to be an entrepreneur in today's Covid/Post Covid world! An entrepreneur since the age of 21, Gino has had an obsession for learning what makes businesses and entrepreneurs thrive. At 25 he took over the family business, which was deeply in debt and in need of help. After turning the company around and running it for seven years, he and his partners successfully sold the company. Gino then set out to help entrepreneurs and leaders get what they want from their businesses. Based on his years of real-world experience, he created the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS), a practical method for helping companies achieve greatness. He has personally delivered more than 1,900 full-day sessions for more than 135 companies, helping them implement EOS. He is also the author of the awardwinning, best-selling book Traction: Get a Grip on Your Business, as well as Get a Grip, Rocket Fuel, How to Be a Great Boss and What the Heck is EOS?, which have sold more than one million copies. Gino is the founder of EOS Worldwide, an organization that helps tens of thousands of businesses implement EOS with the aid of an international team of over 350 professional and certified EOS Implementers and online support. There are almost 100,000 companies using the EOS tools worldwide. Gino is now devoting time and energy toward helping entrepreneurs-in-themaking get a huge jump-start on taking their entrepreneurial leap, which is why he created Entrepreneurial Leap. The mission of Entrepreneurial Leap is to find all of the entrepreneurs-in-the-making, at any age, wherever they are—to help them realize their purpose and live the life they were born to live.

Jon talks with Muyinza Kasirye, Creative Director, Photographer, Videographer, Social Media Manager and Brand Consultant, about how to tune into ALL our senses so we attract the right clients to our business/brand(s)! Born in Uganda, Muyinza was born to two self-employed business owners: a pastor and a lawyer. As a child, he spent his summer days with his parents at their jobs and he pickedup the fundamentals of business ownership. Muyinza's family emigrated to Ontario, Canada in search of more opportunity. At the age of 5, he had his first taste of entrepreneurship with his paper route. After losing his mother to cancer, Muyinza and his family relocated to Boston, Massachusetts, where he began making his music. Surrounded by drug and gun violence in his new neighborhood, Muyinza decided to stay inside and make music. IN 2014, he made his most life-changing investment. He moved back home to his father's house, worked 70 hours a week for a year and was able to save $20K. He then took that money and invested it into an e-commerce business. That business went on to earn him $700K over the next 4 years! The capital earned from this endeavor enabled Muyinza to make his second biggest investment yet: establishing digital marketing company Beth Creative Group.
