Host of the Business Spotlight TV show, Patrick Dougher, speaks with the founders of CXO Collective, Corbin Cowan and Jason Myers, who Dougher says have brought together the best and brightest minds, and the most affluent, to create a network of visionaries ready, willing and able to help owners take their companies to the next level.
Cowan and Myers met at an event and found they shared similar visions. After planning to do some deals together, they realized the scope of their ideas was so extensive it could only realistically be best accomplished by brainstorming with other talented and experienced people interested in helping others take their businesses to the next level.
Prior to co-founding CXO Collective, Jason was a corporate trouble-shooter for Fortune 500 companies in the wireless industry. His talent was the “fixer,” repairing things that were broken in sales, operations, and technical areas. Both he and Corbin have a history of consulting and helping other business to succeed. Their similar backgrounds provided the credentials to launch their collaboration.
Currently CXO Collective is in 10 cities, including Dallas, and will soon open another in Houston. They have plans to take their business international. Through CXO Collective, they purchase companies all over the country, then allow the members of the collective to participate in the growth of these companies – both strategically and with relationship capital that will allow the companies to advance to the next level.
”One of the exercises that we do with companies is that we take them through a strategy session. We put several consultants in the room and we brainstorm. Out of that process, we realized the power of collaboration and how you can create great ideas and help companies go to the next level by collaborating,” says Cowan.
“Everybody’s got ideas. It comes down to who executes these ideas,” says Myers. “By bringing together the best and the brightest, like Corbin’s talking about, and coupling that with the capital to be able to actually take companies to the next level – is really the magic.”
The pair refers to their ability to attract capital and investors as their “CXO Collective Triad.” “We bring together the capital, the expertise, and the opportunities,” says Myers. “It a unique ecosystem that allows us to bring those people into a room and let the magic happen.”
The pair sees their company expanding at a feverish pace, adding new companies, employees, and providing participants with greater opportunities to build their network and self-worth.
