Rockstar Interviews : The CEO of one of the fastest growing companies in America
Wednesday, November 5th, 2008
In order to bring you real insights from ‘Executive Rockstars’ who achieve continued and frankly amazing levels of success, I’m publishing a few more of my recent research interviews which form the basis of a new article to be published in the national press in the next couple of months.
It’s so refreshing to hear from these kinds of guys first hand, that I want to share just a few of these recordings with you.
Today, we meet Brad Stroh who left his job in Venture Capital to create his own company in 2002 with co-founder Andrew Housser.
‘The Freedom Financial Network’ – which includes Bills.com – clocked up an impressive $43.5 million in revenues in 2007, employs 420 engaged employees in three offices, holds the No. 257 spot on the Inc. 500 list for 2008, and was ranked as the No. 3 fastest-growing company in America on Entrepreneur Magazine’s Hot 100 list for 2008
So what are Brad’s Executive Rockstar secrets? How does he structure his time? How does he handle overload? What is his key career advice? (more…)
Last week I managed to secure an interview with the amazing Tom Searcy. Few people have taken small companies and created the explosive growth that Tom has. Even fewer have done it twice… but FOUR times!? Four companies, four successes, four IPO’s. Taking his companies from $15 million to $150 million in short order is a Rockstar talent, and Tom has it! He graciously agreed to share some of his secrets in an interview for a piece I’m writing for a national newspaper. This is a great interview!
