Mike shared lessons he learned from running a very successful company, being a senior NFL referee and working with elite teams and athletes. He talked about how 'he slows down to go fast' on the field and in business; how he continuously "hones his craft" both at Seirus and on the field; and how he has created and maintained elite teams on the field and at work. Additional accolades include: Inductee: Boy & Girls Clubs National Hall of Fame - 2008; Honorary Doctorate Degree, University of Santa Clara, Inductee: San Diego Officiating Hall of Fame, 2008.

Bringing the ideas, the people and the capital together
1515_ 3/17/14 -
The Association for Corporate Growth is an international organization based out of Chicago. Ward Cerny is president of the ACG Denver Chapter and Vice President of Bernstein Global Wealth Management here in Denver. "We have about 500 ACG Denver members, they span the gamut - corporate heads, professionals in the business community, private equity and investment bankers and we're placed with the premiere middle market organization for bringing the ideas, the people and the capital together when people need to grow their business. And so that's what we do, we provide the content, the meeting place over a nice lunch, dinner or breakfast, so that people can get the resources and advice they need to grow their business." On April 1st, we're having our Annual Rocky Mountain Corporate Growth Conference with General Stanley McChrystal as our Keynote speaker Former Commander of U.S. and International Forces in Afghanistan, will present his ‘Lessons in Leadership’. Larry asked what advice Ward would have for a potential investor. "I would say don't get overly excited, and in the depths of despair, try not to act out of fear. Keep the long run in mind, have a plan from the start and make sure as the valuations go down and everything is on sale that you don't sell at the worst time possible. Then as valuations go up to very high levels, don't get overly exuberant. Don't buy at a high market as well." Ward continued, "Our business is focused on, the only way to have superior results over the long run is to invest in research - over and over again. To make sure you have superior research, superior ideas and that's what will generate superior results." Even as Ward is an MBA in Finance and has worked in investment banking for a long time, "We have a deep bench of analysts around the world and they are really qualified in what they do - and the sum of all that research is what makes us the great institution that we are."

Drives the Colorado economic climate forward
1517_ 3/17/14 -
Larry asked for an overview of what CTA is doing. Since Erik Mitisek came on board (as CEO, Colorado Technology Association) last June, "Some of the core things we've done to really amplify CTA's impact is to take a look at public policy and government activity in the state of Colorado. To build a business climate that not only exemplifies the climate that we want to represent to those inside and outside the state - but for companies that are building businesses here in the tech sector - making it easier, more economical and more efficient for them to operate within the government. This year within our public policy strategy we've been really blessed with some great leadership to change that. So as we go into 2014 our public policy activity around advocacy for technology related issues has never been stronger. With a board of over 45 technology leaders that really exemplify the core tech leadership in the state - some of the best CIOs, CEOs and service providers that are leading the tech initiative, both in terms of size and scale, and some of the largest employers in the state are represented on our board. But also the innovation and kind of new technology economy with great entrepreneurs that are on our board as well. That board really exemplifies the excitement of Colorado." Erik said, "I think the new future of CTA is to deeply invest in workforce and talent pipeline, to make sure we are matching workers of tomorrow in Colorado both with relevancy and with consistency inside our core IT workforce."

Strategic plan to match up inventions with industry needs
1513_ 3/10/14 -
Last year, the University of Arizona (UA) realized that it was far behind other universities in the complex field of technology transfer. It recruited an industry trailblazer, David Allen, as executive director and vice president of TLA and tasked him with taking the UA to the top tier of universities that package big ideas for companies both global and local. "The University of Arizona faculty is very competitive," Allen says, sitting in his office between the campus and downtown. "We want them to think beyond the research finding to the application. We’ll help them take an idea no one may have seen before and turn it into the basis of a product or service." After his arrival last August, Allen, who reports directly to UA President Ann Weaver Hart, sent out a call for inventions. Forty-six faculty members responded, and TLA selected 19 projects to support, after screening by industry experts. Other innovations that TLA will be talking to investors and company executives about include a new cancer drug, a water contamination sensor, a device for monitoring infection in wounds, and a way to produce bricks from mine tailings. Launching products, as Allen understands from 30 years in technology management and commercialization, is an art form that includes managing costs and expectations and working with technology and business leaders, lawyers, venture capitalists, and "business angels" (high net worth new business investors). Allen has designed what experts say is a sophisticated strategic plan to match up UA inventions with industry needs. Colorado, toward the end of the decade Allen spent there, did slightly over $30 million in one year.
