Interview with Aaron Alfini

Aaron Alfini has been adopting technology since the second grade when he learned to program. He doesn’t see himself as a technologist but as creative with technology as his canvas. Aaron has worked for startups and Fortune 100 companies alike. He’s worked on some of the largest cloud migrations in the world, with clients including AWS, Equifax, Getty Images, Discovery Communications, Met Office, the London Underground, Mattel, and US Bank.

Book: What is Harness The Juice? The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the critical role technology adoption plays in the survival of businesses.

Soon the massive wave is going to crash, sweeping away those unprepared to respond to rapid change. To survive, business owners and managers need to know how to properly adopt technology quickly and effectively. Harness the Juice is your guide to understanding your organization’s current barriers to technology adoption. Learn how to shift your mindset to adapt with new developments, utilize technology for new avenues of growth, and implement an internal culture of innovation that benefits your organization’s people and processes.   Book on Amazon:  https://amzn.to/41mgjtG https://www.instagram.com/aaronalfini/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaronalfini/ https://www.tiktok.com/@aaronalfini https://www.facebook.com/aaronalfini https://twitter.com/AaronAlfini

Inside Rachael McCrary’s Journey with Gather Labs

Rachael McCrary is an extraordinary woman and the founder and CEO of Gather Labs in Beverly Hills. She is not only vested in the medical tech space but is also a fashion mogul who created “Jewel Toned,” a lingerie fashion brand, as well as the RxBra. Through the development of the RxBra and her connections in Asia, Rachael started supplying PPE and COVID tests to local doctors and plastic surgeons in Los Angeles. This led to the first fully tested event in Malibu in April of 2020, COVID testing for local businesses, events, production sets, and eventually the creation of Gather Labs. Gather Labs is the very first luxury high-complexity CLIA laboratory in the LA area. Founded in 2020, Gather Labs provides concierge quality COVID-19 testing for all patients including those who are asymptomatic and want to prove their negative status for work or travel. However, Gather Labs just launched a full-service facility with diagnostic consultation and a private, comfortable environment with an educated staff where questions can be answered safely and privately. It is their belief that COVID testing should not have to be uncomfortable or time-consuming and that any test results should be discovered quickly.   https://rachaelmccrary.com/ https://GatherLabs.com     Support the Breakfast Leadership Network!

Interview with Zach Dugger

I started a business in 2013 out of my home working with children with autism. Over 8 years, we had grown to 150 employees across 8 counties. We had opened 3 clinic locations and were in the process of opening two more. I was still buying the toilet paper and paper towels for the local center and administrative office. I was doing all of the online purchasing for all locations, integral in payroll, contracts, oversight of HR, billing, and our Chief Clinical Officer (she diid not carry the title at the time, but functioned in that capacity). I was on my knees often in my office in prayer. COVID had increased administrative demands and I was sharing the responsibility with HR on monitoring this and maintaining compliance. I was our CEO and functioned as the CFO as well. Balls were starting to be dropped and the excellence I pursued was not what I was witnessing. I saw the sails flagging and decided to call in support. I had been courted by another organization for 3 years in regards to a potential acquisition. They are much bigger and have substantially more resources. Within 4-5 months of getting a quick LOI from them in regards to a potential sale, we had closed the deal and they took over control of the business. I lost a lot of sleep in the process, including one night with zero sleep due to the immediacy and overwhelm of an issue that delayed closing. I  talk about challenges of starting, managing, growing, hiring/firing, keeping everything in balance, keeping employees happy, moving through COVID, or selling the business and shifting, including the post-sale overwhelm when you go from 200mph down to 20mph and your productivity feels like it has gone to pot due to not having the activities as clearly defined as they once were. My main goal now is to help take the leap to get started and find success in business, as well as the resources needed to do so. I also started a company to raise capital to provide people with the opportunity to invest in larger real estate deals allowing them passive income and better returns. Freedom and success. I am also a franchisee for IMAGE studios and will be opening two locations within the next 12-24 months, have my first Christian fiction novel in process, and love being able to have time with my wife and two children.

Interview with Kent Ingle

9 Disciplines of Enduring Leadership: These 9 essential principles will help you discover and develop your life purpose. After abruptly changing course in his life for a higher-calling, Dr. Kent was compelled to transcribe the lessons he’s learned along the way. In turn, developing a framework that has helped countless figures build successful organizations and a successful life. Transforming Your Organization: The President of a University is not chosen by a popular vote of the masses, but rigorously filtered by previous merit and track record. Dr. Kent shares his secrets on how to turn the operations of your organization around 180 degrees. Changing the Perception of Higher Education: The arguments for and against the modern college system are infinite, but what can’t be debated is that more guidance is needed in helping maximize the higher education experience so students, at all stages of their life and career, can afford to grow in their careers without massive debt and contribute to society with a skillset directly applicable to their employment.
