Creating Structure Podcast #31 Mark Silverberg, Former President (Retired), Technoform NA, Stern & Company, Consultant, Now Volunteer to Non Profits

Creating Structure

Better late than never? Definitely with this Podcast.
After some "technical difficulties," my audio producer extraordinaire, Joshua (see below for links), got this synced and edited to publishable form.
So without further delay, I am pleased introduce my conversation with friend, collaborator, executive thought leader, former owner of two businesses, Mr. Mark Silverberg.
This episode was recorded in January 2022. After listening to it three times, there's so many nuggets of wisdom, relevant story telling, and sharing of experiences that can resonate with many.
Mark loved construction from an early age. Among other ventures, his father and uncle were in the glazing business. An Ohio boy, Mark is a long time Cleveland area (east-sider) resident. After graduating from Oakland University in Michigan, Mark joined the trades and became a journeyman electrician. After six years, he started his path in business ownership and management with his father, then owning and running Stern and Company, then co-founding and running Technoform North America, first as GM then as President.
Some topics discussed include:

• Learning how to prioritize
• Strategic thinking
• Customer mindsets
• Industry committee work and value
• Business ownership
• Start-up operations
• Glazing industry components
• Thermal breaks, warm edge spacers
• Non- Profit work
• Preparation
• Working for the common good
• And a good Dylan quote deep into the podcast related to Mark's "why"
