Welcome to episode number 5 of Thought Leader Magazine. Today we have Eric Harter, CEO and founder of Rapid CPAP. Rapid CPAP is a full-service medical equipment company that specializes in high tech respiratory care. I’ve known Eric for years and he is one of those guys that when you get into a room, he’s ideas overload. What I have found over the last 19 years of running a business is that I tend to find these people in my life and Eric is one of those people that we gravitate towards each other and when we do, it’s usually a very awesome. I’m really inspired by the company that Eric has grown, and I thought it’d be a good idea to bring him on the show and talk about how he is disrupting his industry. In this episode, Eric Harter details the value in staying true to who you are as a business owner, as well as adapting to a changing business environment.

On this episode of Thought Leader Magazine, we are extremely blessed to have Brynne Tillman of Social Sales Link. Brynne and I have known each other for several years now. Back in the day before LinkedIn was owned before by Microsoft our paths crossed and I remember walking away thinking, wow, this is what a thought leader really is. Brynne is gifted and in her space and doesn’t try to be things that she’s not. She is excellent at knowing how to dominate LinkedIn and other sales training approaches. Listen as Brynne Tillman explains how to use your company’s social platforms as a way to generate valuable leads.

On our third episode of Thought Leader Magazine, we have Chris Schalleur from Christo IT. Chris has come highly recommended from a number of my peers.

In this episode, Chris Schalleur provides his approach to helping small businesses embrace IT and helping them make it part of their strategic operations.
