"As the CEO of a company it’s very lonely at the top, and it's helpful to share what’s going on in your business within a safe environment of peers who really care about you. People who are willing to give you the feedback, support and honestly point out your blind spots that maybe you’re not seeing. That safe level of trust that I have with my group and the long tenure that we’ve all been together has been so rewarding. I've been able to watch not only All in One Accounting over the years, but joined all of my Allied board members and watched their businesses grow."

"I find real value in all of the relationships that I’ve built. It’s my personal board of directors and I look forward to every month’s meeting. I look forward to bringing my successes and challenges to that group of people who I love and trust dearly. I also look forward to helping them with things that they’re struggling with, and sharing solutions that have worked for me, or things that haven’t worked for me and have blown up."

"I don’t think I was getting what I needed. Allied does a great job of putting the right people in the right group. I’m a pretty high intensity CEO and I like to be around other CEOs that are growing companies that have kind of the same challenges and the same mindset about growth and asset protection. Really living the entrepreneurial dream."

"I highly recommend being in a peer group to any business owner, any CEO who is running or growing a company. It just is a lonely place. To have a group of people who are living and breathing and dealing with the same challenges and opportunities as you are is a really nice place to be."
