077: Mistakes Turn Into Business Models
George McGehrin did all of the things he was supposed to do. He attended great schools, studied finance at Seton Hall, and even went to Oxford in England to study Economics. When he graduated, he joined PwC and then moved to Ernst and Young a few years later. But as he told me “I was trading my life for money. I was miserable.” For one, he didn’t like the extensive traveling that his job required him to do.
Then, one day he was recruited by a startup in Florida. He was so desperate to move on, he quit his job on Friday and landed in Miami on Monday. What do they say about youth being wasted on the young? Three months later, he was laid off. George says that unemployment was the best thing that ever happened to him. From there, he started his first business in an industry that he was very familiar with...It took him approximately 18 months to recover the business and move forward in 2010.
In this week’s Work From The Inside Out podcast, learn about George’s professional journey:
George runs The McGehrin Group, an international executive search and recruiting firm providing executive search and leadership at the C suite level, such as CEO CFO, CTO, CMO, and CIO roles throughout the US, Europe, and South America.
Based in Rutherford, NJ, his clients include small startups to global organizations.
George oversees a talented team of 30 recruitment professionals who work remotely.
Besides managing his recruiting firm, George also works with executives helping them empower their careers with branding and coaching.
George “tithes” 10% of every sale into a savings account so that he will always be ready for any downturn and can keep his ship afloat.
