How Do You Build a Business Worth Millions?

Some entrepreneurs wait for the perfect opportunity. Others create it for themselves, even in the middle of a recession. This week on The Profit Express, I sit down with Rob Mangi. Rob is the founder and former president of Northeast Coverages, a wholesale insurance agency he launched from a basement office in Mineola, New York, during the 2008 financial crisis. Fast forward to 2022, and Rob sold the company in an eight-figure deal. In this week’s episode, Rob shares the story behind building a business from scratch with little more than hustle, grit, and an unwillingness to accept failure. He discusses the early days of running the company with a crew of neighborhood friends, surviving the uncertainty of the recession, and navigating the pressure of entrepreneurship. Rob also shares how embracing technology years before most of the insurance industry helped Northeast Coverages stand out from the competition. Download this week’s episode of The Profit Express to learn from Rob how resilience and innovation helped him build a company with enterprise value, and the lessons you can apply to your own business.

Can a Setback Be a Setup for a Comeback?

Climbing the corporate ladder and being recognized for what we achieve has always been how we measure success. But what happens when these accomplishments are no longer achievable? My guest this week is shaking up the idea that success is all about titles and promotions, and she’s here to share how she found true fulfillment by focusing on what really matters. This week on The Profit Express, I sit down with Becca Pearce, a former healthcare CEO whose life was turned upside down after undergoing not just a very public firing, but also a brain tumor diagnosis. These experiences forced her to rethink everything she thought she knew about success and what she wanted out of life. Instead of chasing titles, Becca found happiness by aligning her life with her personal values. And now, she’s coaching others to find this happiness. In this week’s episode, Becca shares her journey from being a woman in a high-pressure corporate role to a more balanced and meaningful life. We dive into her new book, “You Don’t Have to Achieve to Be Loved,” which offers a plan for anyone looking to make a similar transformation.
