About Our Guest:

Chad’s zeal to understand how businesses work allows him to immediately identify invisible opportunities in “the way we have always done it.” His unique approach leverages the innate resources available, igniting a passion for innovation without the need for hefty investments or extended timelines. Chad’s journey began at age eight, turning his first job into a successful business venture, laying the foundation for his entrepreneurial spirit. His remarkable career is highlighted by significant achievements, including recognition in the Inc 5000, initiating over 50 ventures, and pioneering SEEDSPARK CoLAB Partners. When Chad couples his key fundamentals with his natural curiosity, these methods become the game-changers needed to move businesses toward exponential growth.

This talent, what some call his highest value role, has opened the doors for Chad to work directly with leaders of businesses of every size across every industry. By analyzing the various aspects of an organization’s Dangers, Opportunities, and Strengths, Chad can quickly identify invisible opportunities that enable companies to create competitive advantages and increase margins, resulting in exponential enterprise value growth. The result is a proven track record of over forty owned or previously owned high-growth companies and hundreds of CoLAB Partners across North America.

Now focused on helping others, he has passed on leadership in his companies. SEEDSPARK CoLAB Partners, his primary focus, stands out as a testament to his beliefs, aiming to drive growth through visible and actionable opportunities without any upfront cost to the entrepreneur.
