Episode Description
On today's episode of Finding Certainty, headliner host, Patrick Laing, visits with Martin Hess, President of the The American Club Association (a.k.a. ACA) about his personal journey as a professional tennis player and sports marketer initially and, later, the success he and his team have experienced, building one of the premier private business clubs in North America (with additional exclusive access to over 80 clubs in the U.S. and 62 international clubs in 16 different countries as of the time of this write-up). ACA Business Club is a private club dedicated to serving professionals, executives and business owners. They have a passion for helping their members succeed and reach their goals in both their personal and professional life, and believe in the power of relationships to accomplish these objectives. ACA's vision is to help you accomplish YOUR vision, whatever that is. Far more than simply joining an organization, membership in the ACA is a lifestyle. The ACA Business Club provides a warm venue to meet clients and colleagues, connect with fellow members, get some work done, or simply a place to relax between meetings. It’s a friendly environment to build relationships and celebrate life’s journey with fellow members committed to your success. Patrick and Martin chat about ACA and its story as well as the power of relationships, professional development, and marketing, and the inherent value in doing it together with colleagues versus trying to go at it alone.
