In this episode of Small Biz Florida, host Tom Kindred continues coverage of the 2025 Veterans Florida Expo and Battle of the Pitches—an event designed to support and spotlight veteran entrepreneurs across Florida. The expo brings together a wide array of business resources, mentorship opportunities, and startup showcases, all aimed at helping veterans succeed in their entrepreneurial journeys.
Tom interviews Paris Cheffer, Chief Experience Officer at JULO Strategy Global, an organization focused on guiding individuals from an employee mindset to a CEO mindset. Paris discusses JULO’s approach to teaching vital CEO skills—such as automating tasks, effective scheduling, and mastering delegation—all crucial for business scalability and leadership.
The conversation highlights the unique challenges veterans face when transitioning from military service to business ownership, and how structured training and mentorship can ease that shift. Paris also introduces JULO’s CEO Exchange, a program where CEOs collaborate to solve real-world business challenges. This episode reinforces the power of mindset, leadership development, and peer support in building a thriving business.
This podcast episode was recorded live at the 2025 Veterans Florida Expo and Battle of the Pitches hosted at the Hilton Tampa Airport Westshore. This podcast is made possible by the Florida SBDC Network and sponsored by Florida First Capital.
