Institutional Executive to Growth Entrepreneur John Coffin Interview on Capital Club Radio

Here is a glimpse of what John shared in the interview:

“I actually got into banking totally by mistake or kismet…through that process, that six month training class, decided I loved business and I loved banking.”

“… learned a lot about life in the Boy Scouts. About challenges and overcoming obstacles and pushing yourself further than maybe you’d think you were capable of.”

“… that’s something that our generation can learn from the millennials, their willingness to try different things and not be so locked into one career.”

Please join Michael Flock of FLOCK Specialty Finance as he interviews “growth” entrepreneur, John Coffin. John is the Co-Founder of Practical Growth Advisors (PGA) which is a consulting and advisory firm focused on serving privately held companies and helping them grow faster with confidence. John discusses his transformation from successful institutional executive to small business advisor and creative entrepreneur. He shares his great range of valuable experiences, both personal and professional, and how he’s leveraging these to help guide middle market companies towards achieving their growth goals today.

Atlantic Capital is the largest startup bank in US history with an initial capital raise of $125MM.
