I help Orange County SMB business owners discover the value of being with other business owners who share their struggles, challenges, and opportunities.

Through our proven process, we help you to take your business to the next level of success. 

You probably already know that your whole company is greater than the sum of its departments.

As the boss, it's your job to ensure that every employee performs as well as possible.

However, your organization will face challenging events and you will have to make hard decisions if you want to continue to grow. You need to know more regarding the following: 

⚠️ Emerging technologies like AI,
⚠️ Rapidly evolving regulations, like employment law
⚠️ How to create the most valuable business, so that someday you can be financially rewarded by selling it.

My name is Ric Franzi. I'm a happy husband, father, the host of Orange County's longest-running business talk show international keynote speaker, and Amazon best-selling author.

As the president (boss) of a global manufacturing firm, I know that being the boss can be stressful, and lonely with the pressure of always having to make the final decisions without enough information at times. 

Nobody is an island. 
 
I found and joined a peer group of SMB Business Owners who understood how lonely it can be and helped by sharing valuable insights and advice based on their experiences. 

In 2007 I left my corporate job to lead local private peer groups and help others use this compelling process.

I am now a nationally recognized thought leader on the power of collective intelligence and a Business Partner with REF a global leadership company. 

👉 Please be my guest and discover how collective intelligence helps solve problems to keep your company ahead of the curve.
