Thank you.
Welcome to the Talent Trade. I am Stephanie Moss, your host, partner at Thinking Ahead Executive Search. Today, I am super excited, incredible guest speaker with us. What makes him incredible is not just what he has done in the executive search world, but it's also who he is outside of the office. In fact, he became our team mascot. team Labradoodle.
And when you think of a Labradoodle, certain things come to mind. Nobody doesn't like a Labradoodle. Everybody loves a Labradoodle. Nobody has issues, even if they have dog allergies or sensitivities. They are still a-okay, meaning if you've got personal problems or issues, you're still okay with the Labradoodle. Everybody loves Derek. Nobody has issues with him.
Consistently producing, can be counted on, and has really elevated our team since he joined us. So Derek Schlender, take us from here. Thanks so much, Derek, for being with us.
Wow. Thank you, Stephanie. Team mascot wasn't something I expected, but you know, sometimes you just get these little delights in life that you just got to roll with it and embrace it. So it's an honor to be here. Thanks for having me.
And I think the last six years, they've been probably the highlight just from a professional standpoint for me, not just the work that we do, but the people that I get to do it with. But yeah, I focus on SBA recruiting for our banking team. I run that niche nationally. Personally, my family, we reside in Athens, Georgia. No dogs. Family of five.
We have a nine-year-old, seven-year-old, and a two-year-old. So my world is beautiful chaos right now.
I love it. So today, what I have asked Derek to come and talk and speak to is something that in his niche and in his world, he has not just revolutionized, but truly elevated in a way that nobody prior to him has ever done. And that is the MPC approach to driving business.
He came in and started figuring out that there was this niche that he just found his way to and really took it and ran with it. And a big part, a tremendous part of his tremendous success, it's the MPC that he's really perfected. So I want to start there and have Derek really walk us through what made you pursue this MPC approach to your market.
