Joe Crisara was once a home service contractor with a failing business. Deeply in debt, he had zero sales skills and undercharged for everything. He assumed the only way to create higher value was to do the same service everyone else did for a lower price. But when things looked most bleak, Joe had an aha moment. It not only changed his life but also skyrocketed his business. Since then, Joe and Julie, his wife and business partner, have helped thousands of contractors achieve three to five times greater revenue by implementing his transformative Pure Motive Service system. Joe's down-to-earth style and direct approach are based on having personally overcome the same pains, troubles, and struggles that all contractors face—all of which are still very real to him.

Perhaps it’s her Texas roots, but Jess Pettitt, MBA, M.Ed., CSP, believes that to really thrive in this world, you have to ride two horses—one of giving and one of receiving. For Jess, the giving horse is her passion for service, and the receiving horse is the high she rides entertaining audiences. For almost 10 years, Jess rode one horse by day, serving as an administrator in student affairs for university Diversity and Inclusion programs, and the other by night, performing and hosting three times a week doing stand-up in New York City’s most popular comedy clubs (ask her about George Carlin’s nickname for her or sharing an eggroll birthday cake with Bob Newhart). Eventually, Jess discovered she could ride both horses at the same time in the same career, and a speaker in the DEI space was born. Now, nearly 20 years and half a million audience members later, Jess gallops from coast to coast delivering her “Good Enough Now” message to anyone willing to take the leap toward creating a much more inclusive (read: much more effective) organization.

Jess talks about her latest book, “Almost Good Enough”, implementing DEI in an organization, elements of culture change, and much more!
