Steve has more than forty-five years of executive management, sales, marketing and leadership experience in technology and service-related businesses. He has held executive positions with IBM Corporation, Oracle Corporation, Software Plus, and Cybershift, Inc. In 1990 (which is when I was born!) he founded Tafaro & Associates which provided business advisory and interim executive management services to small and emerging companies and divisions of larger organizations in need of sales growth and/or restructuring to meet revenue and profit objectives, or to prepare the business for sale. I hope you enjoy Steve's wisdom as much as I did!

Ep. 334: Human-Centric Tech with Michaell Magrutsche

Why don’t we use AI first for solutions of our human-centric basic needs and get us 5x more time and money first before we amplify systems efficiency and make us better worker bees? Humanity is waking up, that's why all systems crumble. We are one human family. We created systems to serve us not vice versa.

Ep. 330: Kim Dang - Software Is The Solution

About Kim

As the founder and CEO of the GroupConvert software that allows consultants and course creators collect emails from their Facebook groups we have over 12000 subscribers and hold the unfair advantage of what works and does not work.
Due to this unfair advantage, Kim went on to create her team of GroupLaunch Legends that lead to group owners increasing their income to 50-100k/mo by pitching their passions and profiting big on smaller audiences.

In the online space, so many struggle to gain a massive following without their bank balance reflect these numbers. In Facebook Groups, there is a solution in which the owners can make more in a month than what most make annually, before spending money on ads and without sacrificing a life they truly desire for the sake of bills.

Ep. 329: You're A Software Company!!

Clearly I'm a little biased, but ultimately many companies become some form of software companies the longer they are around. If they don't become an outright software company, there is at least major facets of building their own software or tools which help fuel their growth into the future.

Ep. 313: Making Small Adjustments

Ep. 313: Making Small Adjustments

For over one year, I lived with self-inflicted rib pain from a coughing bout in early 2020. I could have chosen to deal with this issue a long time ago, but for whatever reason I didn't. When I finally broke down and decided to do something about it, all it took was one chiropractor visit to notice a HUGE difference - and that's when I realized something again.

The biggest changes in life don't happen all at once - they are a result of small, incremental adjustments we make along our path to a target. There is always constant tweaking, adjusting and testing going on inside a business, so why would life be any different?

I bet there is something in your life that if you just adjusted in the smallest way, it could lead to a huge change that you've been wanting for a long time.

When we shift our path by 1 degree, we don't see a difference until we get miles down the road - but how great the difference can be....


What is one small adjustment you can make today to shift your path that 1 degree?

Ep. 312: Mental Quantum Leaps

Ep. 312: Mental Quantum Leaps

Your ability to focus and hone in on the most important, needle-moving activities on a day to day basis is reflective of your impact and rise in your career. Nearly all of us spend a good portion of our day wasting time, "kicking tires" or just plain procrastinating - and all it takes to change that is a different method of focus.


For the past 6 months I've been using an app called GoQuantum, an app created by my friend Jeremy Findley which is specifically designed to help people like you and I focus, think more clearly and ultimately produce more. You can join me in the app if you download it and try it out! I promise you - it is a game-changer.


What is one tool you can start using today to help you focus better and stop procrastinating?

Ep. 311: When Sh** Hits The Fan...

Ep. 311: When Sh** Hits The Fan...

There are times in life when things just do not go your way at all....like at all.

This happened to me recently when my entire business was wiped out in a single night without warning and due to something completely beyond my control. My new business Dapper Mobile Apps used a hosting provider that lost all it's servers and backup data in a fire in France.

Yet, through that entire experience, I managed to not lose a single client and actually came back from it stronger than ever. It provided me with the fire and excuse to take massive action and do something to come back from the worst case scenario.

Is there a situation in your life that you are currently facing the worst-case in? 

The only thing you can do is: THE NEXT RIGHT THING...

Now go and do the next right thing...
