Opportunities and Threats: Small Business Strategies for Uncertain Times with Ronaldo Fraga, TAB Atlanta North (North Fulton Business Radio, Episode 310)

TAB Atlanta North President Ronaldo Fraga joins host John Ray to discuss how the business owner peer advisory boards he facilitates help their members with mastermind-generated insights, accountability, and much needed support. “North Fulton Business Radio” is produced virtually from the North Fulton studio of Business RadioX® in Alpharetta.

Ronaldo Fraga, President, The Alternative Board Atlanta North

Ronaldo Fraga is a small business owner and a TAB Certified Facilitator and Coach. For 35 years, he was a C-suite executive in Brazil, running a $30 million/year manufacturing division of a German multi-national capital goods corporation. When he started there in 1978, the company’s revenue was around $3 million/year with 50 employees.

When Ronaldo left for the US in 2013 the revenue had increased 10 fold and the company had 200 employees. They more than doubled the shop floor area, modernized the manufacturing facilities and processes, created new lines of products, and opened export channels to countries such as China, India, Italy, Spain, France, and especially to the USA, Canada, and Mexico. All growth and improvements were supported by cash flow generated locally, without any parent company investment. He wanted the best-trained engineers and managers, and so he invested in their education. He and several others got MBAs with Fundação Dom Cabral (FDC), the most prestigious business school in Brazil. FDC has a partnership with Wharton and is rated in the top 10 or 15 business schools in the world.

In 2000, Ronaldo opened an agency in Houston to better serve our North American customers. In 2013 the parent company sent him to Houston, TX to be the VP of their North American Sales and Distribution unit, a position that he held for 5 years. What excites him about TAB is the opportunity to help business owners grow both financially and personally. Managing is a skill that can be taught and it’s key to the growth of a business. Watching managers and employees grow and become independent was the part of his job in Brazil he enjoyed most. At TAB, he has the opportunity to step into that role again.

Ronaldo has a Mechanical Engineering degree from UFRJ (Federal University of Rio de Janeiro) and two MBA’s, one by Candido Mendes University and one by Fundação Dom Cabral. He has been an American citizen since 2018.

Certified EOS Implementer Jon Deiter EP 12

On this episode, a coming home of sorts, Kyle and Jennifer welcome Jon Deiter on the show and to discuss how Jon’s previous leadership as CFO and Integrator of MAC6 has made a lasting impact on them and the rest of the MAC6 team. Jon also shared his current work as a Certified Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) Implementer.

Jon gave advice on how to successfully tackle key issues organizations may be dealing with and how the EOS process can help organizations adjust to the changing business climate we are all faced with right now. We also explored the overlap of Conscious Capitalism and EOS and how companies who are interested in the philosophy of Conscious Capitalism can use EOS to continue building a conscious company.

Jon Deiter Solutions, LLC was founded to provide Jon a base for helping business owners achieve all they want from their business. The primary service offered is implementation of the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) which is based on the book TRACTION by Gino Wickman.

Jon’s “Help First” core value, professional training and experience in EOS Implementation and extensive financial management background, provide a unique approach to helping leadership teams break through whatever barriers and challenges they face.

Jon Deiter has over 30 years of experience in leadership roles in a variety of manufacturing, distribution and service businesses that were privately held, family owned entrepreneurial businesses as well as smaller divisions of public companies. He contributed to the success of these organizations by leading strategic planning initiatives, motivating and managing people, and adding financial perspective to the decision-making process through multiple difficult business cycles.

Jon is a CPA (inactive) with an MBA degree in Finance and was Accredited in Business Valuation, but currently focuses 100% of his time as a Certified EOS Implementer. Since 2015 he has followed his passion for helping business owners and leadership teams get a grip on their business and achieve what they want from their business by implementing the Entrepreneurial Operating System® (EOS®) based on the book TRACTION by Gino Wickman

Jon’s career experience, along with experience as both a user and implementer of EOS, give him a robust and unique perspective to follow his passion to Help First.

ABOUT YOUR MAC6 COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS CO-HOSTS

With a background in marketing, in various for profit and not for profit companies, Kyle McIntosh wondered, “How can I pair the passion and commitment to community progress of a non-profit with the sustainability and reach of a for profit company?” From this question and perspective a mission evolved to tear down the false distinction between the two sectors and to promote companies with Conscious Capitalism® business models through MAC6.

Kyle is the President and Creative Excitant of MAC6. Day to day, his main operational role is on the “spaces” side of the business, focusing on creating thriving communities in the commercial office buildings, the co-working space, and the co-manufacturing space. The other role that he plays is that of EOS implementer, working with clients to bring the Entrepreneurial Operating System, from the book Traction® to their businesses. Additionally, he sits on the boards of Conscious Capitalism Arizona, telling the stories of good businesses in Arizona, and The Tempe Chamber of Commerce, sustaining Tempe’s quality of life and keeping our community and economy vibrant.

Kyle loves Arizona and wants to see us all collectively find great success based on the awesome things that are happening here every day.
