BB25-41. Norm Wolf, Not Just Numbers


Building your business with Sara Troy and her guest Norm Wolf, on air from Ocvtober 14th

I am Norm Wolf. I have a passion for business.  I started my business life at the age of 10 years old when I would sit in front of my grandfather’s confectionery in front of the Stampede Grounds in Calgary selling pop to people walking to and from the Stampede.

At New Heights Accounting, we believe that a “one size fits all” solution is not good for all of our clients.  Depending on YOUR situation, your accounting requirements are going to be different than those of other people.  We will take the time to tailor a program to fit your accounting needs and budget. We will not do more than that you actually require.  If the only requirement is to produce your tax return (be it a personal or corporation) then that is what we will do; why pay for a set of Financial Statements if you will not use them?

My Wife and I were accountants in Calgary, it was getting time close to when I was considering retirement and wanted a change of place.  My wife was not ready for the retirement life and wanted to open her own accounting firm.  We decided to move west to BC, and we wanted to near a large body of water.  The first location on our list was the Okanagan, but my wife hated the area as it was too much desert.  The next location was Vancouver but that’s way too expensive for us, the next area was Vancouver Island.  She wanted Victoria and I didn’t want to move to an area where there was a lot of traffic, and she wanted someplace with a good hospital and transportation.  Since I had been to the Island many times, we finally settled on Nanaimo.  Without any public practice management experience, we opened our public accounting firm, but with my 45 plus years of experience in business and with my Master’s degree in Business and Anna’s CPA we opened our firm with a theme of “we want to partner in our client’s success, which is the driving force behind our firm.

One of the main themes that I use in my business life is “Accounting is more than just the numbers, it is the people behind the numbers.”

BB25-40. Dr. Ben Olmos Business Storytelling 


Building your business with Sara Troy and her guest Dr Ben Olmos, on air from October 7th

Entrepreneurship, Media, and the Future of Business Storytelling 

How The Daily Pitch Helps Managers, Leaders, and Entrepreneurs Get Better @ What They Do

My “why” is rooted in helping managers, leaders, and entrepreneurs get better at what they do. After decades working with Fortune 500 companies and with C-Suite leaders, I saw a gap between the insights executives have access to and the practical, everyday knowledge that small business owners and professionals need to thrive. I founded DissedMedia as a company focused on developing products and insights that will help those interested in business at any level build upon their knowledge and wisdom. It is really a marriage of my three passions, which are business, education, and creativity. I’ve been in the CPG industry (Consumer Product Goods), for over 30 years, higher education for 20, and a curious creator all my life. The Daily Pitch is a platform I designed to publish stories and insights about business, leadership, and entrepreneurship. The Daily Pitch Academy is an education platform I am building to help individuals at all levels learn about theories and practices I have taught for many years. It will also become a platform for consultants and coaches who can leverage it to help teach and inform too. The podcast, DissedMedia A Startup Story tells the story of starting DissedMedia from the very beginning. My purpose is to share not only what I’ve learned in boardrooms and classrooms, but also to democratize that wisdom so anyone building a business or leading a team can make smarter, faster, and more human decisions.

I began my career at Coca-Cola in Atlanta as a frontline contractor making $5.50 an hour. Seeing that growth required education and experience I didn’t yet have, I enrolled in college while working full-time and raising a family. Over two decades at Coca-Cola, I advanced professionally, earned my degree, pursued an MBA, and eventually began teaching.

After 20 years in the beverage industry, I transitioned into wine while completing a PhD in Business Administration with a focus on Industrial Organizational Psychology. Alongside my career in consumer goods, I’ve served in academia as an adjunct professor, department chair, and MBA program director—teaching or developing over 75 courses in business, spanning leadership, management, marketing, operations, and more.

These experiences inspired me to found DissedMedia, home to The Daily Pitch news platform and The Daily Pitch Academy. My work centers on translating business trends into meaningful insights for leaders, entrepreneurs, and everyday decision-makers.

BB25-40. Dianne Crampton. Stories Shift Leadership


Building your business with Sara Troy and her guest Dianne Crampton, on air from October 7th

On this episode, we welcome Dianne Crampton, founder of the TIGERS 6 Principles and president of TIGERS Success Series. Dianne is the author of Becoming TIGERS: Leading Your Team to Success. In this unique leadership parable—crafted in the tradition of Native American storytelling—Dianne weaves a story within a story. At its heart is a father whose job is on the line because his well-intentioned passion comes out as shouting and micromanagement. His struggle mirrors a parable about two tiger brothers—one who inspires and coaches his diverse tribe, and another who rules with surliness and control. Dianne explores how stories gently shift mindsets and open leaders to real change, offering a fresh path away from toxic behaviors and toward collaborative, high-trust leadership. She also shares her vision for pairing Becoming TIGERS with the TIGERS Team Wheel game to support school counselors and help address root causes of conflict and even gun violence in schools. Tune in for an unforgettable conversation about the power of story to change how we lead, work, and live together.

Today, she certifies HR leaders, consultants, and coaches in the use of TIGERS resources so they can deliver measurable culture improvements inside their own organizations.

After 13 jobs and changing careers four times, I decided to help job seekers by becoming a career coach.  My next-to-last full-time job was as Executive Director of NYSSA, a non-profit association for financial analysts.  I worked with a career coach and took the training to become a career coach.  I continued to work full-time as a Director of Professional Development while coaching part-time. Six years ago, I left my full-time job to devote myself to career coaching.

Started out as a teacher of English as a Second Language in the NYC public school system. I attended graduate school at night in French language and literature so I could become a college professor.  When I graduated, there were no jobs in the NY metro area so I transferred my skills to college administration.  I worked for three different colleges in continuing education.  I created online courses in Lotus Notes and then at ASME, I worked with engineers to create courses on Blackboard.  Then I worked for six different nonprofit professional associations. BA Brooklyn College, MA Harvard University, PhD New York University.
