Sellers are interviewing you to be their leader so make certain you stay in the leadership role.

Central OH leadership plus New Albany Company have made it one of the best tech markets in the country.

I also have a Bachelors in Social Work and soon to pursue a Masters in Management and Leadership - Organizational Behavior.  

Also, being consistent, prompt, and having a thought leadership platform can certainly add to your credibility. 

The same unethical people are there in leadership TODAY, and while I was STILL just a paid member, (I was told that I had to leave or they would call the police on me?) 

Myself and my leadership team are looking at possibly purchasing 3-4 company vehicles for the high travel employees, but we do not know where to start in relation to evaluating vehicles, developing company policy, tax implications, lease vs buying, and insurance.

You don't want to be trying some new marketing scheme or leadership technique the first time when you get your one shot to swing the bat.

I hope Brandon and the leadership at BP can see these forums and the site overall as a way to connect a community - and I also hope the leadership has its own business interests separate from BP's ability to drive traffic/create revenue/income, etc --- and can view BP more as a service or academic pursuit.
