A dedicated and innovative senior executive and entrepreneur with an accomplished career spanning more than 25 years of founder, general executive and financial management experience across several industries including software (SaaS), higher education, services and digital media. After graduating cum laude from the University of Notre Dame, Mike began working at BDO, where he became a licensed CPA. From there, he joined one of his clients as a 25-year-old CFO, providing structure and helping accelerate growth at a business that was sold to a publicly-traded, strategic buyer. Mike then furthered his education by earning an MBA from The Wharton School, during which he not only interned at a top venture capital firm, performing work on its highly-successful IPO, but also co-founded an internet startup. Mike then joined Fortune 50 company AOL Time Warner, where he led or participated in many successful deals across all media divisions. After proving his capabilities, he was asked to move to London to help advance the recently launched AOL operations in Europe. With his entrepreneurial instincts eventually taking over, Mike left AOLTW to co-found B&H Education, which grew from $0 to more than $145M in revenue in becoming the second largest national chain of schools offering vocational programs in the fields of beauty and wellness. He and his partners sold that company in a highly-successful transaction for its investors. He continued to lead the newly formed, recapitalized company with his partners post-sale. During his time at B&H Education, Mike co-founded Vocado, a SaaS provider focused on student financial aid analytics, which was sold through a highly-favorable transaction to Oracle Corporation.

 Ardell Fleeson, Passionate Community Builder, Champion of Senior Living | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:13:30

In the fall of 2018, I am seeking a consulting assignment of three to eight months' duration to begin in December, 2018, or January, 2019. My current pattern is consulting work as a boots-on-the-ground sales professional, helping Senior Living Communities bring in new Residents and ensure future revenues, as I complete a masters degree, my focus being a journal article called Shakespeare for Seniors. My skill is quick-study, rapid turn around of the Senior Living sales effort, with almost immediate new revenue at any level of care, specializing in upscale CCRC or rental, both legacy and pre-construction. I am based in Washington, DC, and Birmingham, AL, but will work anywhere. atfleeson@cox.net or 703 863 1359 MY PASSION AS A CHAMPION OF BUILDING SENIOR LIVING COMMUNITIES: ♦ 80 million Baby Boomers are heading into the sunset of their lives. I am one of them. ♦ Demanding choice, Boomers will compel the Senior Living Industry to explode with “vibrant retirement living” options to accommodate the Silver Tsumani about to hit their shores. ♦ The current bricks-and-mortar can only house 8% of the Boomer population. ♦ The industry needs creative strategists – like myself – who can take it from blue sky to profitable stabilization. ♦ With more than 30 years’ study of family systems psychology, I am a compassionate facilitator who can help adult children deal with the guilt of “putting my parent in a home” and the denial of addressing the issue until Mom and Dad can’t live alone anymore. ♦ I will help seniors address their three most pressing questions: 1. When do I leave my home? 2. Where do I go? 3. How do I not outlive my money? ♦ I will offer families safe harbor to minimize the “transfer trauma” as their senior moves out of their life-long home. ♦ I will be a trusted partner in one of the most important life decisions that a child and parent can make together.

 Jim McQuaig, SVP, Churchill Mortgage | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:13:30

Husband, father and imperfect follower of Jesus are probably the descriptions of me that captivate most of my thoughts. Having those things right seems to make everything else fall into place a heck of a lot better. Fortunately I married someone who supports me so completely that keeping things right is so much easier! After leaving the US Navy I embarked on a career in the mortgage business with no knowledge of what I was getting into. After over 2 decades I can say the challenges and excitement of this business far surpasses all I experienced flying P-3’s all over the world for the Navy. I’m also more excited about my business and career today than the day I first started. It truly has been a wonderful adventure and life. Below my name my title says, “Team Building Coach”. I believe everyone needs a coach. If you’re a loan officer in the mortgage business looking for a change…chances are you’re looking for one of 3 things: - to do more business - to do the same/more business in less time - to make a real difference for others by how you do that business That’s what I coach our team to do. In my years as a producer I was one of those $100+ million dollar LO’s. For a little more than 5 years my team topped that mark and I was able to do it working part time. I believe you’ll need all or most of the following characteristics/beliefs to make things really happen in your business and your life: - Honesty. Your word must be your bond. - Coachable. - A Grateful Heart. - Embrace the Hard. Mastery is the Goal. - Batteries Included. - 1 is Too Small a Number for Greatness. - Competitive Spirit - Life-Long Learner - Winners Take Responsibility…Losers Blame Others. If this resonates with you, I’d love to take a moment and show you how partnering with our team can help you tap into your talent and build a career and team worth having.

I am still available for sales consulting. The Key to Sales Success: Just Be Fundamentally Sound. This is harder than it truly sounds. All of us deviate from fundamental soundness from time to time. Some of us do not know that we are deviating. This is where Increasing Revenue Inc can help by returning a sales person or a sales organization to the fundamentals so that their revenue will increase. Helping Locally Owned Business Increase Their Sales. Always looking to talk to business owners and sales managers. (571) 213-6661. Passionate about helping firms minimize sales person turnover. Recruiting is only a small factor in minimizing sales person turnover. By just following the fundamentals of sales, I created a Monopoly for a client of Increasing Revenue worth about 2 1/2 the firm's annual revenue. Taught many people the basics of cold calling. One sales person after spending 4 hours with me, cold called a prospect on Thursday and Friday that prospect placed an order surpassing the sales person's annual income.
