THE200: The Founder and Creator of Podfest Multimedia Expo, Chris Krimitsos Mar 29, 2021 Talk to people that Chris Krimitsos has spent any amount of time with and you’ll hear descriptions like “changemaker,” “motivator,” “catalyst for change,” and “inspiration.” Whether it’s a major corporation’s CEO or a solopreneur, Chris is passionate about being a difference maker. Unlike the featured guest who comes in and delivers a keynote and leaves, slipping out the back door like a national celebrity, Chris Krimitsos is the passionate professional who hangs around talking to anyone who wants his time – to listen, evaluate, and affect change. Chris brings the unique perspective of success from both sides of an event. He understands the challenges of the organizer that needs to move an audience, having himself facilitated over 2,000 events that have brought together business owners, toward economic growth, under the umbrella of Tampa Bay Business Owners, which he founded in 2008. That success regionally was the springboard to launching a national event, Podfest Multimedia Expo, which he grew to over 975 attendees in just five years, with an expectation of 1,500-plus in year six, thanks to his ability to communicate key messaging to that community. Channeling that energy into creating a documentary, now he is making an impact globally. Under the CK Productions banner, as a filmmaker and producer, Chris successfully birthed The Messengers: A Podcast Documentary, which obtained worldwide distribution and theatrical screenings. This after having hosted and produced two TV shows earlier in his career. Of note was one of those projects being archived in the Library of Congress. With a unique skill set programmed to stay out in front of rapid change, Chris Krimitsos – as a speaker, as a business leader, and as a source for growth – is empowering audiences toward better opportunities for succeeding in business in the 21st century.

He believes we were all born with a unique DNA, destiny, and purpose. It is living inside us now, and all we have to do is uncover it. Coming from humble beginnings, Don W. Long knows what it's like to start with almost nothing. Selling everything from vacuum cleaners, alarm systems, 18-wheeler education courses as well as a myriad of other products to Krispy Kreme donuts door-to-door. Don knew what it meant to work hard and looked for a way to fulfill himself and find the path he was meant to walk. As his sales experience grew, so did his businesses. In 1986, he partnered in a business. Over the next two decades, he helped it rise to the top 5% in its field and started another multimillion-dollar company in the process.

James works alongside Gary Vaynerchuk, its CEO and serial entrepreneur. The Sasha Group runs as a consultancy on the front-end, and an agency in the backend. James has held previous positions as Chief Operating Officer and Chief Integration Officer for VaynerMedia, a digital agency with social at its core. He has proven himself as a great leader and has authored several business articles including Agency of the Future, Let Leaders Lead, Guided Exploration, and Practitioners Practice. Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation: How his entrepreneurial journey began The difference between a delegator and a facilitator The importance of positioning The need for structure in building an empire The origin behind his nickname, Jimmy The Pencil How James uses social media in his favor, personally and business-wise Leveraging podcasts to drive engagement What they’ve done for Gary to become more than just the social media guy Putting together the Eisenhower Matrix to execute their ideas What strategies worked and what didn’t work Episode Highlights: Delegation vs. Facilitation Delegation is having somebody do what it is that you should do or can do. Facilitation is taking the time to understand what people do well, and then connecting them with other people who have that need. The Importance of Positioning Positioning is very important because the most value comes when everybody feels like they're a winner at the table. It's not when one walks away being the loser, and one walks away being the winner. We find value when everybody walks out of the room and feels like they've won. Therefore, positioning is very important in negotiations, in client-agency relationships, in boss and staff relationships, and in business in general. Establishing VaynerX as a Holding Company In order for you to be a $500-million integrated, independent, international communications company, you're going to have to be more than a social media advertising company. You need a structure when you're growing an empire. As a result, VaynerX became the holding company and Sasha Group is under this VaynerX umbrella. There needs to be a clear head at the top of it, with a vision to take it forward. The Bible says that without a vision, the people perish. So the same thing holds for a company. Gary is the social media guy but you can't be $500 million being the social media guy so he had to be more than that. So he worked hard on it. He acquired companies, spun off a tech company from his media department, and started a new company. On the day he announced The Sasha Group, they had 4,700 inquiries in 48 hours. He also acquired a company and birthed Vayner commerce. Now, he's got Vayner Speakers and VaynerTalent .

Its what drives me and why I care about performance based results. After years of working as the client with agencies, I have experienced the range of them... The good, the bad, the ones with to many clients, the ones who sold us on their skills yet had none... And I was over it. I was done relying on others and their lack of strategy, so I dug in. I learned from the best and innovated on ideas that were working and learned from strategies that failed. I went from agencies telling me that impressions, reach and engagements were the only areas they could guarantee performance to getting 3 to 5 times return on ad spend on my own. I knew they were wrong and I was on to something. As someone who has over 12 years on the client side, I know the type of performance that should be expected.

Anna was a nationally ranked tennis player and in 2003 she began her career coaching tennis in New York City to beginners, celebrities, and intermediate/advanced players.

I felt angry, lost, frustrated most moments of everyday. My mind would not stop racing and if I wanted any relief from those anxious thoughts, I’d need some sort of drug to give me that temporarily relief. I only wish I had met our guest today back then. Meet Sylvia Hall. Sylvia is the founder and creator of Lifted Naturals, a line of mood boosting probiotics that allow you to treat your anxiety naturally. Imagine that! Anxiety and mood issues are not all in your head. But they could be in your gut. Sylvia knows first hand how difficult it can be to struggle with anxiety, depression, and panic attacks. She was a stay at home mom, who turned her idea for a mood probiotic into a million dollar (AND GROWING) business. After a tough go-around with postpartum depression and anxiety, she decided there had to be a better way to feel better. That led to the birth of LIFTED, her well-being brand. Welcome Sylvia Hall.

As she found herself at the ultimate qualifier for her biggest dream of qualifying for the Olympic games, she felt the immense pressure to achieve and missed the win by a mere 0.25 tenths of a point! This led to feelings of not being good enough, feelings that she didn’t work hard enough, and that she was not prepared enough. She asked herself how can she ever again feel great if she feels “not enough?” Meet Lisa Wang. Lisa then quickly found her path into business while knowing that the venture capital landscape is 94% male. She wanted to bring together a network of female founders who had enough of getting overlooked, ignored, undervalued, and assumed inferior.
