Frank Reabe is a folksy, affable CEO who converted a poorly run business into a thriving, successful enterprise dedicated to early education of children. He and his team accomplished this through sound fiscal management, a clearly articulated mission, action-oriented core values, and a passion for infusing fun into the everyday operations of each of their early education learning centers.

John Thies and his sister, Michelle Klann, decided to start their business, Email on Acid, after working with companies to ensure their emails looked correct in every inbox. Taking on the role of CEO and growing the company was a new experience for John. Like many startup entrepreneurs, he did every job, including hiring new employees.
