It
was a warm day as I carried my tripod, some lights, and a HD camera
over to the Worktank office on the waterfront in downtown Seattle. I was
there to interview the CEO, Melinda Partin, for a part in our new
documentary "CEOs of Seattle."
Melinda was
great. She gave me a terrific interview. Melinda comes from a long
heritage of family entrepreneurs. She started her company about ten
years ago, specializing in creative advertising for small or big
organizations. Melinda talked about her management philosophy of
collaboration. She talked about her belief in total integrity and how
she really cares for her people. Melinda talked about her proud moments
as a leader and her true enthusiasm for the future. I was very impressed
with meeting Melinda. She really cares about people.
Sharon Mooers - Olive Crest Homes & Services for Abused Children
It
was a great experience meeting Sharon Mooers. She came over to our
studio to be interviewed for a testimonial about her positive experience
working with Andrea Heuston and Artitudes Design. Sharon is a director
for the Olive Crest Homes & Services for Abused Children. Olive
Crest is a non profit who is dedicated to saving abused children. I
could not believe it when Sharon said that every nine seconds there is a
child abuse report filed in America. This is a truly shocking
statistic. To learn more about Olive Crest, go to www.olivecrest.org
Andrea Heuston - CEO and Founder of Artitudes Design Inc.
I really enjoyed my interview with Andrea Heuston, the CEO and founder of Artitudes Design.
She
is a fantastic leader who is breaking all records for referral
business. I have interviewed some of her clients and they cannot stop
talking about Andrea and her team. The Artitudes Design office seems
like such a fun and creative place to work. Everyone there was having a
great time and they were laughing, too.
My
team and I drove over to the Washington State Convention Center in
downtown Seattle to record a Gordy Graham speech and a Cathy Crosslin
workshop. We shot using three HD cameras. Two were stationery cameras
and one was moving around throughout the crowd. After Gordy’s speech
ended, everyone headed across the hall to the Cathy Crosslin workshop.
We shot that workshop too. My son Jason was manning one of the cameras
and he got very involved with the topic Cathy was talking about that
day. In fact he suggested to me that I should go through and follow
Cathy’s advice about being a better parent. He told me to fill out the
workbook immediately.
Cathy Crosslin is one of the
most inspirational persons I have ever met. She has dedicated her life
to helping others achieve greatness and to fulfill their potential. She
works all around the country with all kinds of organizations to help
them get along better. To get along with others is a most important
characteristic. Cathy has just announced the formation of her new
company, InStar Performance.
Thanks, Cathy, for inspiring my son to want me to be a better parent.
It
was great to interview George Schaeffer, the new CEO of Puget Sound
Security, for their YouTube video. George has a tremendous record in the
security industry and he did a super interview. I was very impressed
with his philosophy of education, training, and treating people right.
George came over to our Green Screen Studio for his interview.
The
minute I met Bob Cremin I knew I was in for a great interview. Bob is
the CEO of Esterline in Bellevue. Esterline is a hugely successful
billion dollar business that hardly anyone has heard of, even in the
local community. My goal was to interview Bob for the Bellevue Chamber
of Commerce for their Eastside Business Awards. Esterline was nominated
as a finalist for the Eastside Business of the Year. Located in downtown
Bellevue, Esterline is a leading manufacturer in the aerospace,
defense, and medical industries. Everything from electronics to casings
for weapons, Esterline is involved in thousands of unique products. Bob
has been with the company for over 30 years. He is a sought after
speaker and a mentor to many. I was impressed with Bob's enthusiasm for
Esterline and his focus and philosophy on always doing your best and
always doing the right thing. Great fundamentals achieve great results. I
think the future will be very bright for Bob Cremin and Esterline
Technologies.
It
was raining in Bellevue that day when I interviewed Naveen Jain, CEO of
Intellius. I was there to interview Naveen for the Bellevue Chamber of
Commerce for their Eastside Business Awards. Intellius was a finalist
for two separate awards. One for Eastside Business of the Year and one
for their philanthropic work. Naveen was very enthusiastic and powerful
during our interview. I was impressed with the scope of the donations
and charity work that Naveen has established with Intellius. To learn
more about Naveen Jain and Intellius, go to www.intellius.com
I
first was introduced to Talyst a couple of years ago when we were hired
by the Bellevue Chamber of Commerce for the Eastside Business Awards
video. Talyst was a finalist and did win an award that year. Over the
past couple of years we also were fortunate to do a couple of Case Study
video productions for Casey Cram, the VP of Marketing for Talyst. This
month the Bellevue Chamber asked us to do the new Eastside Business
Awards video again for our third year. On the list of finalists again
was Talyst. I drove over to Bellevue to capture some video footage and
to interview the CEO of Talyst, Carla Corkern. I cannot tell you how
much I was impressed with Carla. She is a bundle of enthusiastic energy
about her company, her team, and her vision for the future. I always
thought Talyst was onto something big with their work in automating
pharmacies to eliminate mistakes in the delivery of prescriptions to
people.
Carla recently was promoted from the COO of Talyst to their CEO. To learn more about Talyst, go to www.talyst.com
Dara Khosrowshahi - CEO of Expedia
I
drove over to downtown Bellevue to the new tall black building with the
Expedia sign on it. I was there to take some video coverage of Expedia
and to interview Expedia's CEO, Dara Khosrowshahi, for the Bellevue
Chamber of Commerce. Expedia was a finalist for the Eastside Business of
the Year Award. I was very impressed by Dara and his team at Expedia.
Dara was very strong and confident during our interview. The Expedia
team was incredible and hospitable as we went floor by floor
interviewing people and capturing spontaneous moments. Everyone we met
was genuine and seemed to be very happy to be there. I think I can sense
why Expedia is so successful. It has very strong leadership and very
strong people who really care about their work. Everyone was having a
good time and they liked their work a lot. I think all American
companies should model the positive success at Expedia and do what
works: Happy People!
Producer
Bill Maxwell and I drove over to Issaquah to interview Karen Ridlon,
founder of Eastside Baby Corner, for the Bellevue Chamber of Commerce's
annual Eastside Business Awards. The Eastside Baby Corner had been
nominated under the Non-Profit category.
Bill and I were totally
surprised and impressed with Karen and the wonderful team of volunteers
working diligently there at Eastside Baby Corner. I had never heard of
EBC before this meeting. EBC has been around over 18 years. The
warehouse was full of volunteers and lots of clothing, toys, etc
dedicated to the needy kids we don't think about sometimes. Karen told
us that the EBC focuses on the needs of kids from birth to the age of
12. EBC works to organize and distribute materials to over 100 other
non-profit agencies around the Puget Sound area. Some of the agencies
benefiting from EBC's work is Hopelink and Head Start. Items distributed
include things like baby formula, car seats, beds, cribs, bedding and
diapers. My eyes grew big and started tearing up as I saw the incredible
enthusiasm from the volunteers and how this EBC was really making a
difference. I asked myself "How could I not have heard of EBC before?"
You can learn more about the Eastside Baby Corner at www.babycorner.org
I
drove over to Redmond to shoot an interview for the Bellevue Chamber of
Commerce for their Eastside Business Awards. My subject was Ed Belleba,
the CEO of Friends of Youth, a non-profit organization dedicated to
helping kids. I really knew nothing about Friends of Youth or their
mission. Ed talked about how he got started at a volunteer with the
organization after he retired from his career with Microsoft. I was
really surprised at the vast size and scope of the Friends of Youth
team. Over 20 locations in the state and thousands of volunteers are
involved. From residence homes for runaways, to job opportunities,
foster homes, to pregnancy and substance abuse counseling. Bob is a
terrific leader of a terrific organization.
Scott Harrison -- CEO of Barclay Dean
Once
in a while you run into someone who really inspires you. That happened
for me during my interview with Scott Harrison, CEO of Barclay Dean.
Scott and I both love history and we both love Thomas Jefferson. Scott
is a rennassance man. He spends a lot of his time trying to help others
and he believes in the concept of "give to others" and "do it because it
is the right thing to do." Scott's company Barclay Dean is a pioneer in
the new green technologies in interior office furniture and equipment. I
visited the Barclay Dean showroom and offices in downtown Bellevue. I
was interviewing Scott for the Bellevue Chamber of Commerce. His firm
was nominated for the Eastside Business Awards for their work in
community support. Barclay Dean works closely with several charities and
community organizations including Junior Achievement and YES. Scott and
I talked about our feelings about history. We talked about Thomas
Jefferson and how he wrote the Declaration of Independence on a desk
where you had to stand. He wrote it standing up. Scott told me how those
kinds of desks are making a comeback these days. I really enjoyed
meeting Scott and hope to focus more of my efforts to helping others
like he does.
I
was quite impressed and surprised by the incredible team at Pathway
Medical Technologies. I was there to shoot footage for the Bellevue
Chamber of Commerce Eastside Business Awards. Pathway is a pioneer in
new technologies that could really have impact on blod clots in the
veins of legs. They showed me some demonstrations of the technology and
it made me very optimistic about the future of their devices and
technology.
I
drove over to Bellevue's NetStar Communications to shoot footage for
the Bellevue Chamber of Commerce's Eastside Business Awards video
production. I was so grateful for the incredible hospitality of Annie
Cheng, Tony Cheng, and the entire NetStar team. They are so
enthusiastic about their successful company and the future looks bright.
Christina Brandt -- CEO of AtWork!
We
drove over to the new offices of AtWork! as part of our Bellevue
Chamber Eastside Business Awards video production. We met with CEO
Christina Brandt and took some great shots of their new facility and
team.
Kevin Goodwin
We
drove to Bothell to shoot footage at Sonosite's headquarters for the
Bellevue Chamber of Commerce's Eastside Business Awards annual ceremony.
It was my first introduction to Sonosite and their array of products.
I was immediately in awe at the unbelievable potential of their work.
My grandmother died of a broken aorta about fifteen years ago. At that
time it took about six hours to get her to the type of ultrasound
equipment that could have diagnosed her situation. Today with
Sonosite's handheld ultrasound equipment, a local EMT or emergency room
person could have seen inside my grandmothers body within seconds. I
have tremendous enthusiasm for the potential to save many, many lives
with the new Sonosite technology. Kevin Goodwin and the team at
Sonosite have been nominated for Eastside Business of the Year by the
Bellevue Chamber of Commerce. The winners will be announced at the
annual ceremony at Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue on April 29th.
Pedro Castro
It
was a little bit rainy that day I visited Magellan Architects in
Redmond. I was there to shoot some footage of the CEO Pedro Castro and
his team of architects. I was immediately impressed with Mr. Castro.
Pedro is sort of a renaissance man.
His father was a well-known architect in Brazil. Pedro has a love for
art and freedom. His Magellan Architects have worked on a wide variety
of projects from many industries, including education, churches, banks,
and high tech. Pedro described his passion for doing good work and his
loyalty to his team. Pedro is a top notch leader during this
challenging times. His character is true to his team and to others.
David
Zook is a dedicated teacher. I drove over to the Tutoring Club in
Bellevue WA to shoot video footage for the Bellevue Chamber Eastside
Business Awards. The Tutoring Club is a finalist for this year's
Eastside Business Awards. David Zook is the franchise owner of the
Tutoring Club. I was very impressed with David's committment to helping
kids learn. He told me about his background as an educator and about
his hopes for the future. He told me how he really tries to help kids,
whether it be by helping out with the Lego Robotics Competitions or by
planting a seed of the potential of being a Nobel Prize winner some day
to a teenager. David Zook is planting seeds in the minds of kids, that
someday actually might produce a future Nobel Prize winner. I really
believe he is on to something with that idea.
I
really enjoyed my interview and meeting with Carlos Veliz and his team
at PCSI Design in Bothell, Washington. I was there to shoot footage of
the PCSI Design team for the Bellevue Chamber of Commerce Eastside
Business Awards. PCSI Design is a finalist for the awards to be given
out in a large ceremony at Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue on April 29th.
I was very impressed with the enthusiasm and dedication of Carlos and
his team. Carlos has built a strong business in designing all kinds of
products including work for the aerospace, medical, and assorted other
industries. Carlos talked about the importance of being flexible and
listening to your customers, especially in tough economic times. I
liked Carlos' committment to helping kids and mentoring, and his love
for baseball. He is a very active contributor of time and money to
numerous kids organizations. Recently Carlos was awarded the
Washington State SBA Minority Small Business Champion of the Year.
I
was very impressed during my interview with Dr. Mark Dedomenico. Mark
visited our Green Screen studio to be interviewed for my new
documentary, "CEOs of Seattle." Mark talked about his beginnings as a
graduate of the St. Louis University Medical School and how a paper he
once wrote helped trigger the evolution of the medical procedure known
as the Coronary Bypass Surgery. I could tell by meeting Mark that he is
a visionary, a thinking-man, who is dedicated to changing the world.
Mark has dedicated his life to overcoming the challenge of obesity.
Mark is a former cardiovascular surgeon and the co-founder of the Hope
Heart Institute in Seattle. Then Mark talked about how he became the
CEO of the worlds largest health club, Pro Sports Club, in Redmond, WA.
I learned alot during my interview with Mark. He is a great role model
about how a person's total focus can make a difference. I remember
how my father had a bypass back in the 1980s. Maybe my father lived
another day because of Mark Dedomenico. Maybe a lot of people will live
longer due to the due dilligence of Mark. Then we talked about his love
of horses and his Pegasus Equine Rehabilitation Center. Mark has
started one of the world's premier centers for the rehabilitation and
training of horses. Mark definitely is a multi-faceted person. He
believes in excellence in everything he does. Thanks Mark for letting
me interview you for my documentary film.
I
was very pleased to meet Shari. Shari is the CEO of Hawkeye -
Cohesion, one of the nation's leading experts in high tech web and
interactive marketing and advertising. Shari was kind enough to drive
over to our Inventive Productions studios to be interviewed for my new
documentary "CEOs of Seattle."
I was very
impressed with the strong leadership philosophies that Shari spoke
about, including her focus on transparency in motivating her team. She
is a strong communicator, and she did a terrific interview about her
leadership style and techniques.
Dan Greenshields -- CEO of Sharebuilder
I
was really impressed with the strong leadership philosophies of Dan
Greenshields. Dan came over to our Inventive Productions green screen
studio to be interviewed for my documentary "CEOs of Seattle." Dan
talked about his career and his passion for the Sharebuilder concept.
He talked about his beliefs on how to motivate and inspire his team.
He discussed his strong dedication to integrity and values. Dan
really is a great leader and I am very grateful he took the time to help
us with our documentary film.
Alex Wasserman & Dave Johnson -- Elite Fitness
I
was deeply inspired by my interview with Alex and Dave from Elite
Fitness. They came over to our Inventive Productions studios to be
interviewed on the Green Screen for my new documentary film, "CEOs of
Seattle." Alex and Dave are so confident, so strong in their leadership
focus, that they were a perfect interview for our film. They talked
about the importance of attitude, teamwork, and integrity in creating a
successful business. Alex and Dave discussed the importance of being
passionate about your vocation and it won't become work. They love what
they do, they get trememdous satisfaction from seeing the happy results
from their clients. These guys are a terrific example of what is best
in the CEOs of Seattle.
Tom Varga -- CEO of CFO Selections
I
really enjoyed my interview with Tom Varga with CFO Selections. He was
interviewed for my new documentary "CEOs of Seattle." Tom is the
leader of one of the fastest growing companies in the country, and I
feel they have a bright future. CFO Selections is sort of like a temp
agency for CFOs. Tom did a great job in the interview talking about
the secrets to the success of his enterprise, and most importantly the
values that have shaped his management style and philosophies. He
really believes in the concept of giving to others. Give and you shall
receive. What a concept. Thanks Tom for all your help with this
documentary project.
Naomi Novotny & Mark Zoske from "SaltWorks"
I
first met Naomi and Mark back about a year ago when we were doing the
video for the Bellevue Chamber of Commerce for their Eastside Business
Awards. Naomi and Mark's company SaltWorks was nominated as a finalist
for the EBA Awards. Producer Mitchell Pickett and I had travelled to
their facility to interview the owners and shoot the footage for the
video to be shown on the big screen at the awards ceremony. Both
Mitchell and I were deeply impressed with the enthusiasm and success of
SaltWorks. We were inspired by their rags to riches story, of starting
in their garage with an idea, and now looking to expand their business
to a new 100,000 square foot facility. This week Naomi and Mark visited
our Inventive Productions studio in Redmond to be interviewed for my
new documentary "CEOs of Seattle." They decided we should interview
Mark even though they really are a united leadership team. Mark told
some great stories about his childhood and his hopes and dreams of being
a successful business owner ever since he was a kid. He talked about
the other five businesses he owned before finally hitting a winner with
SaltWorks. I was deeply moved by his management philosophies and his
dedication and committment to excellence. His interview will really
help our movie. Thanks Naomi and Mark for taking the time to help us
with this documentary project. We wish them the very best with the
incredible growth of their company. They are a terrific team.
Dan Blanchard
I
had a great time interviewing Dan Blanchard CEO of American Safari
Cruises, one of America's premier luxury cruise lines. Dan told me his
great story about how he got into the business and his philosophy of
leadership, recruiting, and motivation. Dan is a great guy. I really
appreciate his help with my documentary "CEOs of Seattle."
It
was a little rainy that morning in downtown Seattle. I drove down onto
the waterfront and parked under the Alaskan Viaduct. I had an
appointment with Bert Gregory of Mithun. Their offices are located
right on the Pier on the waterfront. Immediately I noticed the great
architecture inside the offices, with very tall open ceilings. I was
there to interview Bert for my documentary, "CEOs of Seattle." Mithun
is one of the leading architecture firms in the nation focusing on the
concepts predominantly known today as "GREEN" or sustainability. The
interview was a bit unusual because all the architects and employees in
the office worked in one giant open room. There were no private offices
or conference rooms to shoot the interview. So we set up a spot right
in the middle of the room and did the interview. Bert did a super job
in the interview. I learned a lot about his leadership philosophies and
management style. You can learn more about Bert and Mithun at http://www.mithun.com
I
was extremely impressed and energized by my interview Christian Chabot.
Christian was here to be interviewed for our "CEOs of Seattle"
documentary. He is the CEO and co-founder of Tableau Software.
Christian was educated in England, and then earned an MBA at Stanford
University. He is a pubished-author of a business bestseller, a very
sought-after keynote speaker, and a true inspiration to me. He has
been involved with startups and venture capital companies and several
high tech companies. I think Christian gave one of the best interviews
for our documentary so far. Thank you Christian for all your help.
I
first met Stan Selden over the telephone last fall. I had read an
article that said his family business Selden Furniture in Fife had been
in business over 50 years, so I wrote Stan a letter to see if he would
be interested in getting a video history made about his company. Stan
responded to my letter, saying that in fact he was working on a book
about the history of his family business.
Last week we called Stan to see if he would let us interview him for the documentary "CEOs of Seattle" and he said "Sure!"
Stan
is a great guy with tremendous vitality for life. We talked about the
secrets to his success, his mentors over the years, and his advice for
young people. Thanks, Stan, for taking the time to visit our Inventive
Productions studios and to let me interview you for our documentary.
Eric Overton - "CEOs of Seattle" documentary project.
Interview with Eric Overton.
Eric
is a great guy. He is so enthusiastic. His company, Sparling, is the
nation's largest specialty engineering firm. Eric was gracious to come
over to our Redmond studios to be interviewed about his secrets to
success. Eric talked about his emphasis on values and culture and
growing good people. It was very inspiring to hear how much integrity
and character are integral to success in today's business world.
I
really was impressed with the incredible interview with Angie Lepley
from Tangerine Travel. Angie was kind enough to allow us to interview
her for our new documentary "CEO's of Seattle." Angie is super
enthusiastic and a great optimist about her company and the future of
travel. Her company has had tremendous success because of her talented
team and the leadership of Angie. Angie has been in the travel business
for a long time, and she has learned the importance of creating an
awesome experience for her clients. She really inspired me with her
honest talk about integrity and the importance of treating people right.
Angie and her Tangerine Travel has been chosen as one of only a
handful of official representatives for Richard Branson's Virgin
Gallactica, where you can actually buy a ticket to go on a space ship.
I plan to start using Angie and her team for all our travel needs in
the future. She talked about the great new offices her company has,
with a spa atmosphere. I can't wait to see it in person.

These
are just a few of the leaders that RJ McHatton has interviewed over the
years. Coming soon to this website are video interviews with CEOs and
leaders from all across America. The CEO's of America.
If you know of a CEO that we can interview for this project,
