    Please share a brief Bio to be read on the podcast. (It may be paraphrased)

    Atlanta native, raised in Tucker. UGA graduate with a BFA in Graphic Design. Wife, 3 kids, currently residing in Johns Creek. My 1st career was built around 20 years as a design creative in branding & marketing. During that time, I worked in multiple capacities consisting of print & digital work. Did everything from design production to art direction & management, working for various agencies, in-house corporate design & marketing teams and working on regional, national and global brands. For 8 of those years, much of my work as art director and creative manager was concentrated in front of a camera. Then 2020 happened. The world went sideways & lost its mind. As they say, I did the "pandemic pivot" and... BOOM! Career number 2 was underway. This time, behind the camera, and the journey continues.

    What are 2-3 things you would love to talk about?

    1. Networking, of course! It's been at the core of our company's success and growth.

    2. The crucial importance of professional visual assets in all things business related - branding, and especially content marketing.

    3. Wanna talk about cars, cycling & coffee and why all 3 are culturally paramount...dare I say "spiritual"? – HAH! A fun one.

    What are 2-3 things you would like to gain as a result of being on this podcast?

    Have to give this some more thought, but one BIG thing would be to gain more insight about how to more effectively network in such an engaging way that I can be more memorable to people, leaving such an impression that when they need a service my company provides, we're at the forefront of their mind.

    Please share a brief Bio to be read on the podcast.

    After 20 years in law enforcement as a Hostage Negotiator and over 14 years owning his own company, Scott Harvey has learned a lot about what makes people successful. From supervising officers as their sergeant to teaching thousands of D.A.R.E classes, and speaking professionally to hundreds of thousands of people, Scott has honed his ability to teach these leadership skills to others, and he steps on dozens of stages each year passing on what he has learned. He recently distilled the communication tactics he spent decades honing into a book. Silence Kills released in 2023, and has already sold thousands of copies! Through business coaching, Scott gets the opportunity to sit down, face-to-face, with entrepreneurs and business leaders challenging them to grow their businesses without sacrificing their family or their health. He’s using his experiences and unique style of personalized motivation to help leaders every day — both on and off stage. Scott’s wife of over 27 years and his two grown daughters keep him on his toes, and on his best behavior! They also provide a lot of his content as he is “in the trenches” everyday as a husband, a dad, and an entrepreneur.

    Transitioning from law enforcement to professional speaking. My book, Silence Kills, that published in 2023. Common communication mistakes people are making.

    I always learn from the person I am speaking with...I look forward to learning! Book sales wouldn't hurt. I would love it if several listeners emailed me to find out how I could help them or their organization.

  • Networking Unleashed: S1E14 An Interview with Jackson Calame and Michael A Forman
    Feb 2 2025

    Jackson Calame

    210-683-9307

    Chief Level Conversation, Executive Leadership Behaviors, and Dysfunctional Team vs Championship Team.

    Jackson teaches visionary entrepreneurs how to unlock sustainable revenue growth and expand their legacy by becoming a Power Brand in their market. 96% of businesses fail within the first 10 years. Jackson teaches businesses, not only how to avoid failure, but how to win, by becoming a true leader in their market. Having worked in, launched, and scaled several successful startups in the b2b industry & SaaS space, servicing thousands of SMBs, Jackson has seen firsthand that even the best operators struggle and often fail. The problem begins with poorly managed growth, due to establishing a weak foundation, which inevitably leads to collapse. Jackson and his teams prepare business owners and executives to bridge their growth gaps. Collectively, we often fill the roles of COO, CMO, or CEO during this transformative process. Your key to success as growth occurs and operations shift, will require that you evolve. Developing an incredible culture, built around a clear vision dedicated to customer satisfaction, must be the focal point of a company's mission in order to ultimately thrive. Most operators think they are prepared for this. The truth is, you aren't. Personal growth will be necessary. Personnel shifts will occur. Cuts will likely be made as accountability begins to expose who your contenders are, and who your pretenders are. It’s not personal, it’s business. And in order for everyone to win, a business can only afford to have leaders who pull their own weight, who add value to the mission, not anchors who will hold you back. If your business is ready for a powerful shift that empowers you to maximize your potential, Jackson and his team members are the key players you need on your team, to make it happen.
