Leaders of Lasting Impact with Carl J Cox
Your host, Matthew Pohl, talks with the CEO of 40 Strategy, Carl J Cox. Carl's professional journey is a testament to the transformative power of strategic thinking. His career, which has spanned across various small to medium-sized businesses with revenues up to $100 million, is marked by a passion for guiding companies through pivotal growth phases.

Leaders of Lasting Impact with Matthew Pohl
Your host, Jaime Jackson, talks with the Owner and CEO of The ReWild Group, Matthew Pohl. Matthew Pohl's story is one of passion, resilience, and strategic transformation. His career began in the structured world of large corporations, including the Federal Reserve Bank and Arthur Andersen. However, the entrepreneurial spirit was ingrained in him from an early age, thanks to his parents' small business ventures. Despite the hardships his family faced when they lost their business, Matthew's resolve to create his path never wavered.
After marrying, he set ambitious goals: pursuing a master's degree, raising four children, and starting his own business. In his early 30s, he took the plunge and launched his first venture. The timing was far from ideal, with the aftermath of September 11th creating a challenging business climate. Yet, Matthew persevered, overcoming the initial struggle to secure clients and establish his foothold in the entrepreneurial world.
The desire to help other business owners experience similar success led to the formation of The Rewild Group. Matthew acquired extensive research and intellectual property, including insights from the book "Navigating the Growth Curve," and over a decade of additional research. His goal was to make this methodology more accessible and applicable to a broader range of businesses.
The Rewild Group's mission is to help businesses become exceptional and less dependent on their owners, providing more freedom, profitability, and increased value for those looking to exit their business.

As a coach, he provides leadership development and training for individuals and teams, particularly during challenging times. His organization specializes in working with small to midsize companies, guiding them to elevate their performance and team dynamics amidst uncertainty.

This realization prompted him to seek a career path that resonated more deeply with his true self.

Leaders of Lasting Impact with Ryan Weiss
Your host, Matthew Pohl, talks with the Tech Founder and CEO of Effective Performance Strategies, Ryan Weiss. Matthew's entrepreneurial journey started with neighborhood lawns. Ryan, however, elevated his lawn care business, which his brother has since grown into a substantial enterprise with around 50 trucks. Ryan's early foray into entrepreneurship, combined with his degrees in chemistry and finance, set the stage for his successful tenure at a multinational corporation. After 17 years and several international moves, Ryan was drawn back to his entrepreneurial roots and family, leading to the inception of his own company in early 2016.
The transition from the security of the corporate sector was challenging. The regularity of paychecks and bonuses gave way to the unpredictability of starting from scratch. Nevertheless, Ryan's dedication to assisting small to mid-sized businesses in realignment and scaling was the catalyst for his change. His methodology focuses on synchronizing people and processes to boost performance.
Ryan's Optic System has been transformative for businesses grappling with process inefficiencies. Through workshops, he guides companies in identifying their issues and devising practical strategies to enhance alignment, quality, and consistency. A notable success story is a training company that, after streamlining its client onboarding process, experienced a significant boost in client retention and satisfaction.

Leaders of Lasting Impact with Jim Neidhardt
Your host, Matthew Pohl, talks with the Certified Organizational ReWild Advisor of, Jim Neidhardt. Jim's story begins in New Jersey, where he earned his BBA in marketing and MBA in finance. He spent 20 years in the corporate world, running and building businesses with millions of dollars in revenue. Despite his degree in finance, Jim's focus was primarily on the demand side of the business, including sales, marketing, and business development. His understanding of human psychology, organizational development, and finance was instrumental in his success.
Jim's work as a certified organizational ReWild advisor involves conducting ReWild business assessments. These assessments help identify missing strategic elements that may be hindering growth. While some of these elements may confirm what leaders already knew, the assessment often brings to light 1 or 2 strategic elements that were completely off their radar. According to Jim, these hidden elements are the real power of the assessment.
Once these strategic elements are identified, the discussion shifts to finding solutions. Jim addresses some of the missing elements, while others may require outside resources. The rewild methodology is particularly effective for tackling these challenges.

Kimberly's journey into consulting and advising businesses is nothing short of inspiring.

Leaders of Lasting Impact with David Safeer
Your host, Matthew Pohl, talks with the Founder and CEO of Cash is Clear, David Safeer. David's professional journey began in the corporate world, where he worked for industry giants like Kodak and Morgan Stanley. It was here that he honed his skills in devising strategies to increase profits. However, after being laid off, David decided to shift his focus to small and medium-sized businesses. He realized that despite their profitability, many of these businesses were grappling with cash flow issues.
David's transition from corporate America to helping small businesses was not just a career change, but a passion project. He found immense satisfaction in helping struggling business owners turn their situations around and achieve financial stability and growth.
David emphasizes the importance of understanding cash flow and dispels the myth that selling more is always the solution to cash flow problems. He provides an example of how rapidly growing companies can face cash flow issues due to increasing costs and contract obligations.
David primarily works with businesses ranging from $1 million to $10 million in revenue. He identifies common symptoms of cash flow issues such as struggling to make payroll or rent payments, increasing debt without a plan, and experiencing declining profits. He also notes that rapidly growing sales can be challenging for cash flow if not properly managed. However, he adds that even businesses with flat sales can face cash flow problems if they are not planning for the future.
