During those years, he created and instituted several sales training programs for new hires, sales associates and top management. Improving your presentation skills is important because the more memorable, impactful, and effective your presentations are, the more both you and your audience will get out of the learning and sharing experience of a meeting, lecture, or workshop (or whatever else your presentation is for). A great presentation can change the world, change your business, or just as importantly, inspire others.  Learn more about Jimmy and Impact Speakers at www.ImpactSpeakers.com. 01:00:00American Dream Launcher RadionoSteve Gordon,Dana Reeves,Jimmy Pomerance,Impact Speakers,presentation skillsSteve Gordon and Dana Reeves welcome Jimmy Pomerance, founder and CEO of Impact Speakers, to the show.

They’ll also be talking with special guest, Lara Dolan, about the impact her volunteerism has had on her business and her family. Currently a real estate agent with Keller Williams Realty Consultants, Lara specializes in residential and equestrian properties and lives here in Alpharetta with her husband and two daughters. She got her start in business with a number of sales and marketing positions with technology and consulting companies. After leaving the work force for a number of years while her daughters were young, she chose real estate as her marketplace re-entry point. Lara started her own company, Kismet Management, to help clients get through the real estate down-market by finding qualified tenants for their single-family homes, and managing those properties on behalf of her clients. In 2013, Lara sold Kismet Management and turned her focus toward traditional real estate, creating the Craft Dolan Team at Keller Williams. In addition to work and family, Lara passionately supports the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, chairing several large fundraising events, and as a member of the Georgia CFF Volunteer Board. In 2006, family friends in New York lost their then 13-year-old daughter to cystic fibrosis. Suddenly it wasn’t enough to just write a check – and that’s when Lara’s commitment to raising money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation was born. 01:01:00American Dream Launcher RadionoEntrepreneur,small business,Steve Gordon,Dana Reeves,Lara DolanToday Steve Gordon and Dana Reeves will be talking about a variety of topics, from the best cities to launch your startup, to whether or not you should drain yohttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/americandreamlauncher/2014/10/03/howard-hatfield-protecting-your-brand-onlineEntrepreneurhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/americandreamlauncher/2014/10/03/howard-hatfield-protecting-your-brand-online/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/americandreamlauncher/2014/10/03/howard-hatfield-protecting-your-brand-onlineFri, 03 Oct 2014 14:00:00 GMTHoward Hatfield: Protecting Your Brand OnlineAmerican Dream Launcher Radio is thrilled to welcome Howard Hatfield back to the show!

They will talk about why Susan started this particular business, what she did differently to make a name for herself quickly, and some of the pivots she's had to make along the way. A Minnesota native now living in San Francisco, Susan was involved with food and wine for years as a trained sommelier. Gourmet food and wines were a part of her every day lifestyle, and meeting and working with top chefs and studying classical french cooking along with many other cuisines, inspired Susan's passion and creativity for food. It also led her down a path to excess weight, general fatigue and other symptoms that she knew were associated with her diet. Susan's body was seriously rebelling and she decided to do something about it. When Susan found raw, she was energized by this whole new way to prepare and eat food, and learning this way of life was fun. She tried some of her own recipes and experienced a lot of failure, so instead, she learned how to prepare raw food using every cookbook she could get her hands on. Reading about raw, the health benefits, and the principles behind this way of eating became an obsession. And she decided to turn what she was learning into a business that would make money while helping others improve their lives through healthier eating. Rawmazing.com is filled with mouth-watering recipes and gorgeous photographs, along with in-depth articles and an online store where you can buy Susan's cookbooks and the same products she uses every day in her kitchen. 00:44:00American Dream Launcher Radionowebsite,Rawmazing.com,Susan Powers,Entrepreneur,online businessSteve and Dana will be talking with Rawmazing.com founder, Susan Powers, who has combined her talents as a raw food recipe artist and professional photographerhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/americandreamlauncher/2014/09/30/tts-up-tuesday-spectacular-business-failures-and-what-you-can-learn-from-themEntrepreneurhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/americandreamlauncher/2014/09/30/tts-up-tuesday-spectacular-business-failures-and-what-you-can-learn-from-them/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/americandreamlauncher/2014/09/30/tts-up-tuesday-spectacular-business-failures-and-what-you-can-learn-from-themTue, 30 Sep 2014 14:00:00 GMTT!ts-Up Tuesday: Spectacular Business Failures and What You Can Learn From ThemSteve, David and Dana discuss recent startup failures - as well as some of history's most well-known business disasters.
