A recurring sub-theme in many of the interviews on Write Here, Write Now focuses on business people and entrepreneurs who write about their particular area of expertise and then use that writing to help others. Today’s show lifts that theme from “sub-theme” status to front and center. Larry Warnick is the Founder of PassKey Strategies, an Atlanta-based firm designed to facilitate breakthrough results for business leaders of small and emerging firms as they move through the business life cycle. Warnick honed his leadership and coaching skills with over 25 years of business and management experience in strategic market planning and development, product management, and sales and business development with technology and service firms ranging from start-ups to Fortune-level. Larry is writing a book in which he shares some of his processes and strategies. Hal Coleman has a varied business background as well: 10 years as a state regulatory inspector for the Georgia Department of Agriculture; 6 years in termite and pest control service and sales for a large independent pest control company; 18 years owning and operating his own termite and pest control company which started out “as one man with a spray can.” Hal built it into a million dollar business. Hal has written articles and books about his processes and strategies. He works as a consultant to the pest control industry to help owners grow their businesses. Listen in as these two gentlemen share the stories of their journeys from business person to consultant/entrepreneur and author and the impact writing has had on their lives.
