Jon and Randall talk with Thomas C. Marsh and Thomas Daniels, Co-Authors of Black and White Like You and Me, about how to bring people closer together. Thomas C. Marsh Nickname | Cookie Born in 1951 in Laurel, Mississippi, I moved to Detroit, Michigan with my family as an infant and I've been here ever since. We spent summers in Mississippi to visit family. I had a public school upbringing but was firmly grounded in church. I have a graduate degree in social work from the University of Detroit. I'm married to Annette and we have seven children. My wife and I enjoy our yearly trips to Jamaica or some other Caribbean locale. My nickname of "Cookie." When I was little, I loved cookies and would charm my great aunt into making them for me. So I became known as her "cookie nephew." The name stuck all these years. If you're in the city of Detroit and you mention Cookie Marsh, most people will know who I am. My ancestors can be traced to slavery and African roots. I realize the fear, anger, and hardship these relatives went through only for one reason: the color of their skin which they had had no control over. My Mother and Father settled into Mississippi because that is where their parents and grandparents were born. Obviously, they had no control of how they looked or where they lived during their younger years. My dear, deceased Father, in search of a better life for himself and his family, heard of work at the car companies in Detroit, Michigan in the early 1950s. Can you imagine the courage it took for him to uproot leaving everything familiar behind? Can you perceive the fear he must have faced in order to find a better opportunity for him and subsequently for me? I adore him for that decision. Coming to Detroit afforded him a job, a better way to make a living. But where would he live? The choices for blacks were limited to say the very least. My Father settled us in at the Jeffries Project which I tell you about in the book. He left the comfortable and familiar surroundings of relatives and environment and cast himself into a place of chaos and confusion. The Temptations song "Ball of Confusion" would have been perfect for him only it was created many years later. Thomas F. Daniels Nickname | Whitey Born in 1948 in Detroit , Michigan, I've lived in in the metro Detroit area my whole life (except for a short two year stint in Rapid City, South Dakota in 1980). I was a good Catholic boy and attended Catholic school then went on to the University of Detroit. I'm married to Joan and we have six children. My nickname is "Whitey" … now before you make a snap judgment about that name, it has nothing to do with race. Originally it had to do with the Bowery Boys. My brother Bob was nicknamed "Sach," also a Bowery boy. As the name continued to follow me, it evolved into the color of my skin. I am two shades darker than an albino! If we somehow had control over who our parents were – who we were born to – what choices would we have made? Would we want to be born in the same socio-economic condition? Would we want the same Mother, Father, and relatives? Would we want to live in the same state or even the same country? Would we have wanted to be Black or White? For those of us who believe, this birth was in God's plan. Heck, my Mother always said that my propensity to have a protruding stomach was due to the Heath side of her family. No sit-ups could ever conquer that condition. I personally always thought it was due to the amount of beer I used to drink! But anyway, the point is why do we put so much emphasis on what people look like? They had no choice in the matter. It always troubled me that kids would be teased even to the point of bullying because of what they looked like. As former Dean of Students at Brother Rice High School, I would emphatically explain to the perpetrators the error of their thinking and acting. I worked for over thirty years in an affluent high school where the students had everything they needed and wanted. One student drove a Maserati to school. Another was often late because his valet service was slow in bringing his car up to the house in the morning. As with Cookie, I grew up getting most of what I needed and very little of what I wanted. My point is this: so f-ing what!!??!! Those were the cards that we were dealt. Life is learning how to make the best of the blessings we were given and to use the opportunities that presented themselves.

Jon talks with John Vuong, Founder of Local SEO Search, about everything SEO. The fourth child of Vietnamese immigrants to Canada, John is very familiar with hard work. He was born and raised in Hamilton, and worked from a young age to help his family while also having some pocket money to have fun. John has had almost too many jobs to count, starting when he was ten helping out on paper routes. Through all of his work, though, he has focused on a single thing – building relationships. Whether it was collecting money and making sales on his paper route, shelving books at his local library, or manning the fryer at a stadium, he loved meeting new people and getting to know them. He connected by listening to others' stories and sharing his own. At University in London, Ontario, he studied finance. He quickly learned that living on your own in residence doesn't mean you can procrastinate and coast – he got 20% below his usual grades on his first exams. He quickly learned to buckle down and work hard to get the results he wanted. One of the defining events of his life was when he was accepted into an exchange student program in his 3rd year of university. He travelled to Lancaster, England for a year and learned a whole new culture and approach. He loved meeting new people, whether students or locals. After graduation, he wanted to continue travelling and was accepted into a program to teach in Japan. However, his brother spoke to him about settling down and handling his finances responsibly, so he chose to get a job in Toronto. His adventure in sales began at Red Pages, a startup that wanted to follow Yellow Pages and create a printed directory, only of websites instead of phone numbers. This was 2003, when Google was in its infancy and everyone was still trying to understand what the internet would be. Yellow Pages was a major player and everyone invested in print ads. John did an excellent job building relationships with local businesses and selling ads for Red Pages, but the product wasn't used the way Yellow Pages was and the startup did not succeed. John's next job taught him that building relationships was so important he wasn't happy if he couldn't do it every day. He was with an affiliate online marketing company that got customers for big businesses that were paying per acquisition. He found the job very transactional and didn't stay long. His passion for building relationships was not possible there. The next five years saw John doing outside sales for Yellow Pages and enjoying the connections he made with business owners and coworkers. However, near the end of his time there the company was faltering. Businesses weren't getting the returns they used to on their ads. Print was declining, and Google was taking over. John wanted to serve his customers more fully, so he started to explore online marketing. The founding of Local SEO Search was an adventure. He got his first customer when he didn't yet have a laptop – he was showing prospects Google search results on his phone. However, his first six-month contract got the ball rolling and it's been doing well ever since. His primary passion in his business is to help small business owners succeed. He loves to see his clients grow and see the tangible results of his work every day. Giving small businesses a leg up so they can compete with more established companies is something John enjoys a great deal. Over time, he's refined what verticals he's interested in serving and made the processes at Local SEO Search more efficient. He focuses on working hard, being honest, transparent, and good to staff and clients. That's when the good stuff really happens. John believes in education and continuous learning. That's why he started his own podcast, Local SEO Today, in 2018. He wanted to provide a tool for business owners and entrepreneurs to help them succeed. Originally, the podcast focused on the expertise of himself and Roger Murphy, Local SEO Search's Vice President of Sales. But in 2019 he began interviewing other business owners and entrepreneurs and has found a wealth of knowledge to share with his audience. In his personal life, John has a wife and a four year old son who are the center of his world. He loves to watch his son grow, learn, and interact with the world. He works hard during work hours but at a certain time of day the phone goes off and he focuses on his family. They do a lot together: travelling, skiing, swimming and going to live events. Life is short, so embrace it and take on the adventure. You can run a business the way you want and do it well so that you can spend time with family and friends, which is what really matters.

Did you know that not many people put attention on the water they consume on a daily basis? Well this guy did. Jon and Riggs discuss the power of water. Riggs is the founder and CEO of the innovative water technology company, OriginClear, which is delivering water solutions for industrial customers worldwide. OriginClear has developed and licensed an invention that treats industrial and agricultural waste water with very little energy, and no chemicals. And now, industrial users can treat their water right where they use it, using prepackaged "point of use" water treatment systems that have an amazing life cycle of up to 100 years or more. Riggs Eckelberry doesn't look like a bomb-thrower. And yet, he's driving the disruption of a trillion-dollar industry that has fallen behind the times and is affecting the health of millions. That industry is Big Water. Simply, those billion-dollar centralized water systems aren't coping with demand, and water quality is getting worse. The answer? Instant InfrastructureTM. Businesses are doing their own water treatment, using modular, prefabricated systems that are trucked right on site. They get better water quality, lower rates through recycling, and even improved environmental grades! Ten years after launching public company OriginClear, Riggs and his team are offering those truck-in-place modular systems in the USA, while licensees are building products internationally using OriginClear's low-energy, chemical-free innovation. Riggs Eckelberry is uniquely qualified to ride the huge wave of do-it-yourself water treatment that is transforming an industry, having learned management in the nonprofit space, captained oceangoing ships, and achieved several tech successes during the dot-com boom.

Jon and Bryan Wish, Founder of BW Missions, talk about how to build your brand in today's market. For the better half of his life, Bryan didn't belong to the common narrative of the world. Sports teams he didn't make, friend groups he didn't fit into, a fraternity he dropped after one week in rush, and jobs where his potential was tied to a direct report's approval. Simply, Bryan wasn't on the right path and didn't know how to articulate it until he hit a quarter-life crisis (rock bottom) his junior year of college. Through self discovery, Bryan became clear on his individuality, leading him to find a new community propelling him to stand out fully on his own and find the path that was meant for him all along - entrepreneurship. Traversing this pathway hasn't been easy. However, what it has provided Bryan is a chance to show up everyday personally and professionally 100% authentically as himself. On this journey Bryan has been able to help build multiple startups at the center of helping others find their pathways by building tribes of their own and sharing their voices. Today that represents BW Missions where he helps transform experts into thought leaders such as Allen Gannett (Author of The Creative Curve), Rick Smith (CEO Axon formerly TASER), Denise Gosnell (Head of Data at DataStax) and many more. Bryan has been given the opportunity to share this message of crafting pathways to belonging in Thrive Global, PRSUIT, NGEN Summit, UGA Terry College of Business, and countless podcasts. His clients' messages have also been shared in Forbes, INC, Morning Brew, Wall Street Journal, New York Times and more.

Jon talks with Thomas Daniels, owner of Daniels/Dworkin Tutors, about what the future of ACT's and SAT's mean for our kids and universities, and how proper tutoring can help students reach their goals. After a long and successful career as a teacher, administrator and coach, Tom decided to combine these skills as the owner of Daniels/Dworkin Tutors. Preparing students for standardized tests begins with the challenge of creating a comfort zone which allows the students to gain confidence in their abilities erasing the anxiety that is inherent in test taking. Just as an athletic coach convinces the players that what they are undertaking can be done by pushing them past any imagined limits, Tom instills in his students this same "can do" attitude. Tom subscribes to this definition of practice: practice is convincing yourself that you can do things that you previously thought could not be done. Tom's business card touts himself as tutor and owner "extraordinaire." He has thousands of students to back up this boast.

After a long and successful career as a teacher, administrator, and coach, Tom decided to combine these skills as the owner of Daniels/Dworkin Tutors. Preparing students for standardized tests begin with the challenge of creating a comfort zone that allows the students to gain confidence in their abilities erasing the anxiety that is inherent in test-taking. Just as an athletic coach convinces the players that what they are undertaking can be done by pushing them past any imagined limits, Tom instills in his students this same "can do" attitude. Tom subscribes to this definition of practice: practice is convincing yourself that you can do things that you previously thought could not be done. Tom's business card touts himself as tutor and owner "extraordinaire." He has thousands of students to back up this boast.
