Scaling Up
CEOs Say...
Dustin Brown, Partner

"I’ve been to a lot of conferences throughout my
career, some good and in the last couple of years a
lot of bad ones. I was skeptical when I first registered
for the Scaling Up Conference in New Orleans. I
didn’t want to waste my time attending another
conference that felt like people were trying to sell
me something. Scaling Up blew my expectations out
of the water. It was two days of inspiration, amazing
diverse speakers, and a lot of interesting insights
that could apply to my (or any) business. For me
the greatest actionable take-away was to pay more
attention to the routines in our business so that we
can create consistency for our internal team as well
as our customers. I will see you at the next one."

It all begins with a story … Listening to a business
owner’s beginnings, learning what drives them, and
discovering the type of entrepreneurial spirit they
possess is what Ami Kassar loves to do. As he says
of his own beginnings, "I was fired from my big
corporate job on a Friday and started my company on
Saturday. "
Ami Kassar's biggest passion is assisting business
owners and entrepreneurs alike to utilize their debt as
a responsible tool to scale their businesses. Travelling
nationwide, Kassar holds workshops and meets with
groups of CEOs to illustrate the importance of finding
the best financial package that allows them to reach
their short- and long-term goals while also fitting into
their financial comfort zone.
