In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks to the President of Nacre Consulting, Jason Pearl. The name "Nacre Consulting" is derived from the organic compound that forms a pearl, a fitting metaphor for the transformative work Jason and his team do with businesses. Nacre Consulting is dedicated to helping small and medium-sized businesses scale faster through comprehensive sales, marketing, and leadership programs. Jason's journey in business and leadership is inspiring. Having been a sales leader for most of his life, he understands the importance of aligning one's leadership style with the desired results. He advocates for a leadership approach that fosters respect, supports team success, and takes decisive action to achieve results. When it comes to leadership trends, Jason identifies the avoidance of healthy conflict as a significant issue. He encourages leaders to address issues early on to prevent them from escalating. In an era dominated by social media, Jason advises leaders to drown out the noise and focus on what they can control. Jason emphasizes the importance of personal accountability and being a leader's best version of oneself. His faith and values inform his approach to business and leadership. He firmly believes that success is a personal choice that individuals make every day, and that everyone has the potential to win. Nacre Consulting started as a solopreneur venture but has since grown into a small team of highly educated consultants with experience in the private sector. They aim to provide accessible options for businesses to work with them, starting with smaller projects and gradually expanding the partnership. Their goal is to change the business landscape for growth and offer services such as growth assessments, business model consulting, and holistic evaluations of sales, marketing, and production teams.  Key Points from the Episode: Introduction of Jason Pearl, founder and CEO of Nacre Consulting Origin of the name "Nacre Consulting" and its focus on helping small and medium-sized businesses scale faster Jason's background in business and leadership, emphasizing the importance of understanding oneself as a leader Trends in leadership, including the avoidance of healthy conflict and the negative influence of social media Jason's expertise in leadership development and effective sales, marketing, and leadership strategies Importance of personal accountability and being the best version of oneself as a leader Ideal clients for Nacre Consulting: startups looking to scale, companies experiencing flat or declining revenue, fast-scaling companies lacking talent, strategy, and structure Services offered by Nacre Consulting: growth assessments, business model consulting, holistic evaluations of sales, marketing, and production teams Nacre Consulting's growth from a solopreneur venture to a small team of consultants About Jason Pearl: Jason Pearl is a seasoned business strategist known for his transformative impact on companies' revenue and growth.
