All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett

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 privacy. They talk about economic safety, helping customers weather the storm, and how engagement and content are key elements in surviving the current business climate. Connect with Nelson: https://nextgenadviser.com/Connect with Matt: https://www.forcepoint.com/C-Suite Loans: https://www.c-suiteloans.com/C-Suite Supplies: https://c-suitesupplies.com/Join the C-Suite Network: https://go.c-suiteforums.com/executive-membership1585761368840 Learn more about your ad choices.

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 that good marketers always craft the story, why he’s funny, who his comedic idols are, and what type of humor he stays away from. If you need a good laugh to deal with the pandemic, this interview is a must listen.Download Goodpods: https://www.goodpods.com/Connect with Tim: https://timgard.com/Join the C-Suite Network:  https://go.c-suiteforums.com/executive-membership1585761368840 Learn more about your ad choices.

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 business related. Both were severe in their own ways and the criminals were barely punished. These experiences pushed John into cybersecurity because, as he tells Jeffrey, nobody is taking cybersecurity seriously enough. He also offered some easy ways for people to protect themselves and their business from cyber threats.Contact Nurse Deb: https://aim-m.com/Contact John Sileo: https://sileo.com/Join the C-Suite Network: https://go.c-suiteforums.com/executive-membership1585761368840 Learn more about your ad choices.

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.Join the C-Suite Network Become a C-Suite Network Member: https://go.c-suiteforums.com/executive-membership1585761368840 Learn more about your ad choices.
