1. The CEO Next Door - Charlie Saffro Mike Mayer and Donovan Morrison 54:52

To kick off season two, we begin with something a little different. Our co-host, Mike Mayer, shares his experience being in the middle of the July 4th mass shooting in Highland Park, IL.

We also welcome Charlie Saffro, a fellow Highland Parker and co-founder of CS Recruiting.  We highlight the importance of establishing a strong company culture, discuss current supply chain dynamics, and explore how sourcing and securing team talent can make or break your business.

Mike Mayer CEO Next Door

For the past 25 years, I've led digital transformations for billion-dollar B2B companies including Thermo Fisher Scientific, Crescent Electric and U.S. Electrical Services.

In 2020, I had an ‘aha’ moment. There were no agencies specializing in digital marketing for distributors and manufacturers, so I built one!

I also host a podcast called the CEO Next Door where we have weekly conversations with groundbreaking entrepreneurs who share their journeys to success.
