CEO Loneliness, Peer Advisory Groups, and Better Business Decisions
Many business owners reach a point where the company has grown, the decisions are heavier, and the people around them cannot always give fully objective advice.
In this Business Beyond You episode, our host, Sara Vaziri, interviews Ric Franzi, CEO and Founder of REF Orange County and Inland Empire, about the value of confidential peer advisory groups for business owners and executives.
Ric shares how REF groups create a structured environment where non-competing business owners discuss real challenges, including growth, leadership pressure, acquisitions, family business issues, margin compression, exit planning, and long-term company value.
