Randall Bast

Randall is driven by his passion for making a difference. He is a business growth expert and certified business coach with an affinity for culture building and developing leaders while helping owners grow and exit their businesses. Having launched and exited several companies himself, he understands the challenges of bootstrapping a start-up.

He knows what it’s like to sweat payroll, to hang your own white boards, assemble furniture and empty your own trash. He understands the difficulties of building a strong culture. And the importance of walking the talk of the promises made to your people. Randall understands what creating an amazing team looks like. It isn't easy. Two of his first hires were complete busts; he learned the hard way. In his role as a CEO, he discovered his superpower - building an amazing team and developing leaders. He grew his first company organically to 100 employees in just over 3 years before exiting to a public company.

Over the past 20 years, he has helped nearly a dozen owners grow and exit their businesses for nearly half a billion dollars cumulatively. His passion is empowering business owners to succeed, not just in their businesses, but in their personal lives so they can live the life they only dreamed was possible. That's his "Why?"
