Hey everybody, this is John Corcoran with Dr. Jeremy Weisz and this episode is a little bit different.

Jeremy Weisz 0:56
Yeah, I mean, John, after both of us have been podcasting for over a decade, the number one thing in our life is relationships. And we’re always looking at ways to give to our best relationships. And we found no better way to do that over the past decade than to profile the people in companies we admire and shout from the rooftops what they’re working on. And this interview is no different. So if you’ve thought about podcasting, you should go to Rise25.com to learn more, or email us at [email protected].
John Corcoran 1:23
Thanks, everyone. Enjoy the interview.
Jeremy Weisz 1:25
Enjoy.
Jeremy Weisz here. We’re live from the EO Global Leadership Summit and brought to you by Rise25. And we have Sean. Sean tell people about you and what your company does.
Sean Magennis 1:50
Jeremy? Thank you. I’m Sean Magennis. I’m the president of CEO, Coaching International. We’re a global coaching business, 53 coaches, we coach across about 65 countries, we serve clients that are generating across all our client base $48 million worth of revenue. And our key value proposition is we really put been there done that CEOs in front of and work with entrepreneurs as their accountability partner and our claim to fame is that our clients who stay with us for two and a half years, on average, exceed their profit growth four times the US average on an EBIT basis, and two times revenue growth we we do our studies every year. And we keep inching up, which is fantastic.
Jeremy Weisz 2:41
You were telling me that your coaches have a really impressive track record, talk about the coaches.
Sean Magennis 2:46
So our coaches have to run 100 million US dollar plus business. Many of them have been founders, many of them have worked for Fortune 50, Fortune 500s, but they’ve all run a P&L, they’ve all gone through the battles of running a successful business. They’re extremely effective at what they do. And they’ve now decided instead of running a p&l, they’re going to take their experience, and really help others achieve what they’ve done in their careers. We have a methodology, we have a process that they take the clients through, and essentially, it’s making sure that they accomplish the goals that they set out for themselves.
Jeremy Weisz 3:27
Are there a certain size company baseline that makes sense to reach out,
Sean Magennis 3:31
We work with companies, typically, if you’ve got a $5 million top line revenue business, you’re a good fit with us. We have worked with smaller companies, an example of one would be TaskUs where we started with them. 14 years ago, they had $6 million in annual revenue, we’re hardly making any money. Now they valued at $5.4 billion on NASDAQ. And we train about six of their executives. And that’s been a phenomenal success story. And then there are multiples we’ve had 49 exits over the last 12 years, five over a billion dollars. Thirty-two over nine figures and then the balance eight figure exits. So it’s a it’s a profoundly impactful thing that we do.
Jeremy Weisz 4:15
Why do people call you I could see there’s a transition point. Do people call you also like we want to sell or are they thinking we need to increase our profit? Why are that what are the reasons why people are calling
Sean Magennis 4:26
You typically they’re they desire growth, you know, they may be stagnating on the EBITDA side. They may be struggling with sales, but they really feel they have something and they aspire to build a company and then for a founder, CEO, they want to create they want to create generational wealth, but how do they do that? How do they step out of their business? So there is usually an inflection point, but most commonly it is I really want to Make Big Happen, which is the name of Wall Street Journal best-seller. Take a look at it. But they really want to have an impact that want to grow and they want to take some chips off the table. So it could be scale could be growth, mainly growth.
Jeremy Weisz 4:26
How doe the format work? So someone’s like, I want to work with you. Where do they go from there.
