Federico Castellucci III is the President and CEO of Castellucci Hospitality Group. Federico has been working in the restaurant business his entire life, holding his first job as an eleven year old in a bakery in Rhode Island. Soon after, as a teenager, he began working in the family business holding various roles in the kitchen including cook and kitchen manager before heading to college.

Federico studied Hospitality Management at Cornell University, and while away he partnered with his father and consulted on new restaurant openings for his family. Upon graduation, he assumed the reigns of the family business, and since 2007, changed the direction of the company from a single unit mom and pop operation to a multi-unit multi-concept restaurant group.

As President and CEO, Federico is responsible for high-level operations and leadership development and training. In addition, he makes all of the company’s growth decisions — where and how to expand, as well as concept research and origination. Federico is focused on building and implementing systems across the restaurant group that streamline operations and improve communication. While working on the business takes most of his daytime focus, Federico spends time in the restaurants during the evenings building customer relationships and developing employee talent.

Federico serves on the Board of Directors of the Georgia Restaurant Association and is actively involved as a mentor, advisor and investor in early stage hospitality technology companies. In 2018, Federico was the recipient of the GRACE Awards, Restauranteur of the Year, and honored by the Atlanta Business Chronicle with the “40 under 40” award and Small Business Person of the Year in the Family-Owned Business category.

TMBS E75: James 'W' Oxley The American Legion-COVID19

00:00 /

American Legion National Commander James W. “Bill” Oxford

http://www.legion.org/

Throughout the national emergency, American Legion NationalCommander Bill Oxford has continued to lead the nation’s largest veterans’ organization as many American Legion posts closed their homes and postponed events due to coronavirus concerns. In typical Legion fashion, The American Legion has responded to the needs of many local communities by providing essential supplies, promoting “buddy checks,” and assisting veterans, military families, and service members with service claims and other benefits.

While working from his home in Lenoir, N.C., Oxford has regularly convened teleconferences with Legion representatives from all 50states and five regional departments. He has directed his Washington staff to continue regular communication with top officials from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the WhiteHouse, Congress, the Department of Defense and the Department of Labor.

“This has been an extremely challenging time for our nation,” Oxford said. “But The American Legion has always believed in the strength and resiliency of the American people. This country has survived a civil war, two world wars, a great depression, natural disasters, and many tragedies. Even during times of great sadness, we have seen acts of triumph and inspiration. The COVID-19pandemic is no different.”

Among issues that The American Legion has focused on:

The COVID-19 virus is a threat to everyone. While the American Legion takes pride in its patriotic youth programs, public memorials, and other events, the organization urges Americans to follow the instructions and recommendations of their local public health and government officials.
Job opportunities for veterans. The economic downtown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has made this a particularly challenging time for transitioning military veterans to enter the job market. The American Legion will continue to assist veterans who are seeking employment, business loans or other career opportunities.
Buddy Checks. Senior citizens are especially vulnerable to the harmful effects of coronavirus. PTSD impacts veterans of all ages. Family members of deployed service members also face the additional burdens of extended separation from their loved ones. The American Legion has ratcheted up outreach efforts, while also maintaining the recommended social distancing in order to keep people safe.
Support for the Department of Veterans Affairs and the health care needs of all veterans. VA has been especially challenged by the COVID-19 pandemic. The AmericanLegion supports the Fourth Mission of the Department of Veterans Affairs as a back-up to the Department of Defense and FEMA during times of national emergency.
From drive-through food service to providing essential supplies, American Legion posts from coast-to-coast have been responding to their communities by putting service before self–while also keeping appropriate distances in order to minimize COVID-19 exposure.

BRX Pro Tip: Challenge Help Your Clients Get More Clients

Stone Payton: Welcome back to BRX Pro Tips. Stone Payton, Lee Kantor here with you. Lee, it’s challenge time and today’s challenge is help your clients get more clients.

Lee Kantor: Right. One of, again, the secret sauces of Business RadioX platform is that we are a client’s client strategy. Instead of helping our clients kind of create thought leadership, we spend a lot of time helping them get more clients. So, this week, I challenge you to come up with creative ways to help each of your clients get more clients. Some suggestions might be, go through your LinkedIn, you know who their ideal prospects are.

Lee Kantor: Make it a point to go and connect some of your connections with their potential clients and invite them on the show as a guest or at least let them kind of peruse through your LinkedIn to see if there’s anybody there that’s interesting for them and that they want to get to know a little better. Some other clever ways to go about doing this is maybe consider running some Facebook ads to promote your client show to a targeted audience of their best prospects and existing Facebook friends of their business to help them look for guests.

Lee Kantor: When their friends start seeing the ads promoting their show, they’re going to make a point to tell them. And as John Ray, I’d like to quote John Ray on this, the audience that matters most to your clients are your client’s spouse, boss and, you know, inner circle. So, if you’re running Facebook ads to that specific group, they’re going to see the show, they’re going to make a comment. They’re going to let them know that they saw that.

Lee Kantor: So, that’s going to be good for you in the long term. So, I would definitely consider doing that. Another thing you can do is in your studio, if you have a TV screen, make sure that you put a slide up for your client shows on your TV screen promoting that show, that host. And then, that way, when people see it in your studio, they’ll say, “Hey, I know a guy or I know somebody that might be a good fit for that show.” Those are some ways you can help your clients get more clients.

Stone Payton: Well, I’ll tell you, my models for this are you and one of our clients, Corey Rieck, Tuesdays with Corey. And I think the strategies, the tactics just kind of come to you if you have the mindset. And you and Corey both, you intentionally dedicate time and energy to figuring out what can I do to help my clients get more clients. And then, I think these strategies and tactics come. So, I think it’s the mindset and just be prepared to try to help your clients get more clients and the rest of it falls into place, don’t you?

Lee Kantor: Amen.
