Your Brand Radio  

The traditional job search and job market has been turned sideways for some time. Ask anyone managing a career transition what it is like today versus just two years ago, ten years ago. For many, change means an opportunity to finally start a business or own a franchise. But where to start? Our guest this week is Jeff Messer who is uniquely qualified to help people explore alternative career options. Jeff has seen a lot in his 20 years of entrepreneurial and corporate endeavors within a wide range of industries. Jeffrey has been in the investment and venture capital industry in the 1980's, expanded the commercial division of a software testing firm, built an IT staffing solutions practice and started several small businesses. He and his wife, Heidi, were recognized with several awards including the 1994 Extra Mile Award, 1995’s Friends and Family Award, the Top Sales award for 1996, and they were named to the President’s Cabinet in 1999 and 2000. We LOVE that integrated life on Your Brand Radio! Jeff is currently a franchise owner with The Entrepreneur's Source where he takes all of this great experience and supports entrepreneurs as they navigate through early challenges. He also helps those considering if investing in a franchise is right for them...and what type of business! Each Thursday at 4PM MST Mark Crowley and David Sandusky host Your Brand Radio at Espressole Caffe and live online to discuss you, your personal brand, career, business and community strategies. Our guests demonstrate meaning with their involvement in business and community. Come on the show and tell us what you are doing that is interesting. Your business is not unique, but you are!
