Beginning with the End in Mind with Richard Manders

This week our host Steve McGarry is joined by Richard Manders, Co-Founder of Freescale Coaching. Steve and Richard start the show talking about what got Richard into business and entrepreneurship. Starting his career as an electrical engineer Ricahrd had to give a presentation for the board of a company he worked for, and ended up being appointed the head of training for the Fortune 500 company. They talk about how you always have to be selling as an entrepreneur, and some of the metrics they were tracking before the exit. Richard talks about how much of a personal choice exiting a company really is, and how you should always begin a business endeavor with the end in mind.

Freescale helps leaders get back in tune with their longer term aspirations, and transform their company to thrive with far less day-to-day involvement from the leader.

The Exit

Among everything Sara Hirsh Bordo has done in her career, from being a marketing executive at Paramount Pictures and MGM Studios, the owner of several acquired businesses, and a 15x award-winning filmmaker, she might now mostly describe herself as an impact-focused creator.

Through her production company, Women Rising®, which was named as one of the most “Innovative, Interesting, and Purpose-Driven Women-Led Startups to Watch” by Inc Magazine, Sara has used her storytelling skills to become an advocate and a mentor for female founders and women-led companies.

While her exits are accomplishments in themselves, she defines her success in entrepreneurship more as building something behind messages she believes are needed.
