Created 11 years ago in Business / Getting Started
I love working with smart, ambitious, honest, innovative, and selfless leaders. I'm here to get you thinking more about what you should and less about what you shouldn't. I always felt like I have had to nudge, push, and shove myself to be better. Then one day I realized I have a proven method for doing so, so now I train people to be assertive with a capital A.

I created Backup CEO so that every entrepreneur, solopreneur and dreamer would have someone that nudges, pushes and even shoves them in the direction they want to go. With 20+ years of experience in BIG, medium, small and start-up businesses, I am lucky to know lots of failures and successes that I can share.

I had the pleasure of working with John during the Spring of 2011 at Arrowhead Health Centers. There are two things that clearly stand out when working with John: organization and focus. John is a master at getting technology to meet his objectives which enables him to be one of the most organized individuals I have worked with. From my experience, it is rare for someone so creative and a visionary like John to have the attention to detail that he has. It is a truly powerful combination. By focus, I do not mean his ability to "zero in" at the task at hand, which he certainly can do. What makes his focus unique is that because he is so results driven, he forces those around him to focus on their tasks to meet his result. I am more strategic, organized, and focused because of my time working with John.

My opinion is learned first hand as John and I were colleagues by way of being heads of our respective departments. I have experienced many leaders inside and outside the sales and marketing functions. John ranks within the top five in leadership, presentation and evokes inspiration that is rarely seen. I fully believe that Relative Health will be a best-in-class organization under John’s leadership.

Source: LinkedIn Charles Sharp Nov 4, 2014With over 10+ years of professional experience with John, I am fortunate to have various vantage points of his expertise. The consistent theme over the years has been John’s commitment to personal growth and leadership. He is committed to examining what it takes to not only inspire others but also keep them focused. The last three years, John and I have worked closely to create a vision which is designed to thrive. I look forward to continuing to be one of his closest advisors professionally and personally.
Source: LinkedIn Duane Morton Nov 4, 2014As a former employee of John's, I was quickly impressed by his ability to lead and empower his team. In a very short time, John was able to rebuild and strengthen internal and external relationships for a common purpose. His knack for writing a vision and executing against that vision is what has caused our paths to cross again. I believe in the Relative Health dream. Under John’s leadership we will help people find the best, affordable health insurance to cover the services they need.
