SmartCEO Honors— Then Interviews— Mitch Weiner

"Some folks see things as they are 

and ask why.

I see things as they could be 

and say why not"

Good Morning Folks,

I recently attended an awards gala to accept SmartCEO’s 2016 Future 50 award on behalf of FSO. This prestigious event was held at Capitale in New York City, and had more than 550 executives in attendance. The companies honored by SmartCEO were chosen based on achievements in revenue and growth, as well as the entrepreneurial spirit that is essential for leadership and success. The Future 50 award is a reflection of FSO’s strength and success, and I am very proud to be among those honored.

Following the ceremony, I sat down with SmartCEO for an interview to discuss how FSO is (re)IMAGINING the future of business and how it impacts results. Have a look at a brief video:

The 2016 SmartCEO Future 50 award validates what Crain’s Fast 50 and Inc. 5000 have confirmed: We are a five-year-old startup company that has taken the market by storm. The future is bright - and we have only just begun!

Learn more about the award on SmartCEO's website.

I would like to extend my thanks to all of our employees for all that you do, and to our clients for the privilege of serving you.

Have a GREAT day as I look forward to seeing all of you soon.

Love Life!

And The Award Goes To...

"I was choked up and tearing many times during the awards..  the winners speeches and the words spoken about our growth, our care and simply how people feel was, well hard to say... just amazing."

Good Morning Folks,

FSG (FSS and FSO) is full of traditions - one of them being our Annual Awards Celebration. This is our opportunity to cheer for and to say THANK YOU to all of our employees and recognize our superstars. This year’s event was held on January 13, 2016 both at Headquarters and Nationally, and I can say it was one of our best yet! We had one of the highest number of nominees in our history of hosting the event and the celebration was just awesome.

From the feedback I've been receiving, attendees agree that Wednesday night's event was certainly one of our best ceremonies:

"Bravo to you for a successful meeting and putting smiles on so many faces." 

"Wow! What an awesome meeting!! It went by so fast - the energy, music and presenters  was awesome!"

"I was so incredibly proud of my Team! It was so great to see and hear all of the National recognition."

"I am grateful for my acceptance into the Owners Circle of Excellence. For the last few years I have seen the President's Club logo on FSO-FSS Business cards, but to now have it on my own cards is an honor."

"Last night was a triumph of corporate morale building. A genuine and energetic show of support and moxie."

"The event is just another example why FSO is the differentiator in the industry and a much deserved THANK YOU goes out to the Executive Leadership Team for hosting yet an amazing party."
