Today we explored exactly what it takes to keep building business relationships, and consistently provide genuine value to the constituencies we serve.

Randy Gold/AGH- CPA and Business Advisory

AGH is one of the most respected boutique accounting and business advisory firms of the southeast. The Atlanta Business Chronicle claimed it to be the fastest growing accounting firm in the last five years as well as the Best Place to Work in Atlanta for the last three years. As a firm it has core values and a commitment to community involvement. Randy Gold brings talent and experience to this firm’s real estate and construction practice as the Principal and Chief Operating Advisor. He has an extensive background representing commercial and multifamily real estate developers and investors through purchase/sale transactions, deal structuring, consulting and reporting. Randy’s responsibilities lie in helping to create the strategy and tactics to support AGH’s long term vision of developing expert team members who provide the foremost client communication and service.

The Jewish Federation of North America named Randy Gold the Jewish Community Hero in 2011 most likely for his founding of  the Atlanta Jewish Gene Screen, a new project for the prevention of Jewish genetic diseases. The project is meant to build awareness of the current nineteen different life threatening, but preventable, genetic diseases affecting Ashkenazi Jews.

David Duncan and his wife Gretchen recently sold their interests in Paddywax, a business that creates and sells hand poured, fragrance infused, soy wax candles. David is now incoming President for Entrepreneurs’ Organization Atlanta, and was kind enough to introduce us to one of their newest members — Speakeasy CEO, Scott Weiss . . .

 

Scott Weiss/ Speakeasy

Scott Weiss is the president and CEO of Speakeasy. He started off as a client and his own experience as a senior executive in broadcast and cable industries was profound enough that he joined the company as an executive VP and later bought the company in 2003.

Whether it’s through sales presentations, speeches, and one-on-one meetings, or your annual report, your sales collateral, or your web presence… your ability to connect with your audience is the last critical link between you and the results you want. And, developing the communication skills you need to make that happen takes more than simple public speaking seminars or presentation training. It’s based on connection, and… it thrives on congruency. And both of those begin with you. With your connection to yourself…With your commitment to connect with others.

That’s where Speakeasy has established its value and reputation for more than 30 years. Communicating, inspiring, and connecting leaders in business: we can do the same for you.
