The ReWild Group founder and Leaders of Lasting Impact podcast host, Matthew Pohl, owned a small business for more than a decade. After 12 years of painstaking work, Matthew hoped to sell the business and retire but was shocked at the valuation he received. It was then he discovered the Stages of Growth Methodology and began applying those principles to the company.

Three years after Matthew implemented the Stages of Growth Methodology, he was able to sell his company for 10x what it previously appraised. After selling that business, Matthew decided that other business owners could benefit from the knowledge that he had learned, and that idea gave rise to what became The ReWild Group. Instead of retiring, he has invested his time and energy into creating resources so that other business owners can enjoy the same success. Matthew has authored a series of books called the Organizational ReWilding Rules for Business Growth and each book looks at one of the seven stages in detail, explaining the governing principles that best serve a business of that size and using illustrations to show how the concepts play out in real life.

Born out of a passion to help small businesses, our podcast shares the hard-earned experiences and stories from advisers who are helping businesses become more exceptional.

    26 - Unleashing the Power of Strategic Planning: Transforming Small and Mid-Sized Businesses with 40 Strategy's Carl J Cox

    Your host, Matthew Pohl, talks with the CEO of 40 Strategy, Carl J Cox. Carl's professional journey is a testament to the transformative power of strategic thinking. His career, which has spanned across various small to medium-sized businesses with revenues up to $100 million, is marked by a passion for guiding companies through pivotal growth phases. Carl's transition from a CFO to a consultant was fueled by his desire to tackle the unique challenges that come with scaling a business.
    At the heart of Carl's philosophy is the belief that strategic planning is not just a luxury for the corporate giants but a necessity for all businesses, regardless of size. His company, 40 Strategy, is built on the premise that a mere 2% of organizations dedicate the equivalent of 40 hours per year to strategic planning. Carl's mission is to elevate that number by helping businesses craft world-class strategic plans and execute them effectively.

    24 - Navigating the Unique Dynamics of the Korean Business Environment with The Prudent Manager's Mark Patton

    Your host, Matthew Pohl, talks with the CEO and Managing Consultant of The Prudent Manager, Mark Patton. Mark's story is a fascinating one. He arrived in Korea in 1996 to teach hospitality and tourism courses in English at a Korean university. What was supposed to be a one-year stint turned into a five-year adventure, ultimately leading him to establish his own consulting business. His initial focus on skill training evolved into a holistic approach to organizational development, addressing the deeper issues that hinder skill application.
    Mark's philosophy centers on the idea that for organizations to truly thrive, they must look beyond surface-level training. He works with his clients to uncover and tackle the root causes of their challenges. By licensing and sourcing tools, content, and products from global providers, Mark equips even the smallest organizations with the resources they need to succeed.

    23 - The Transformative Power of Organizational Rewilding with The ReWild Group's Matthew Pohl

    23 - The Transformative Power of Organizational Rewilding with The ReWild Group's Matthew Pohl

    Your host, Jamie Jackson, talks with the Owner and CEO of The ReWild Group, Matthew Pohl. Matthew Pohl's story is one of passion, resilience, and strategic transformation. His career began in the structured world of large corporations, including the Federal Reserve Bank and Arthur Andersen. However, the entrepreneurial spirit was ingrained in him from an early age, thanks to his parents' small business ventures. Despite the hardships his family faced when they lost their business, Matthew's resolve to create his path never wavered.
    After marrying, he set ambitious goals: pursuing a master's degree, raising four children, and starting his own business. In his early 30s, he took the plunge and launched his first venture. The timing was far from ideal, with the aftermath of September 11th creating a challenging business climate. Yet, Matthew persevered, overcoming the initial struggle to secure clients and establish his foothold in the entrepreneurial world.
    The desire to help other business owners experience similar success led to the formation of The Rewild Group. Matthew acquired extensive research and intellectual property, including insights from the book "Navigating the Growth Curve," and over a decade of additional research. His goal was to make this methodology more accessible and applicable to a broader range of businesses.
    The Rewild Group's mission is to help businesses become exceptional and less dependent on their owners, providing more freedom, profitability, and increased value for those looking to exit their business.
