(SPEECH) BRIAN MANGUM: My name is Brian Mangum, founder of BrightFlow Technologies. I first wanted to become an entrepreneur when I was working with a client who planted the seed that made me realize I could use my skills for helping others. (DESCRIPTION) Working with a student. (SPEECH) BrightFlow Technologies is a managed security services provider. We create solutions, we support solutions for your business, for your home, but we do it with a relationship first mindset. So you know that you can have peace of mind when you call us for help. (DESCRIPTION) A student engages on a laptop. (SPEECH) The relationship mindset first is who I am, that's why it's so important. It's who I am to my core, but also it's not normal in our industry. And so it's been actually a good differentiator. (DESCRIPTION) Dialogue with students. (SPEECH) I value friendly competition because I learned several years ago that if you're giving it's going to come back to you. (DESCRIPTION) A student fixes a laptop. (SPEECH) The best advice I would give to any new business owner would be to fail, and to fail immediately and quickly and as soon as possible. Success is a horrible teacher. You will fail and you will learn more from your failures than any successes that you ever have in life and in business. (DESCRIPTION) Engaging with student. (SPEECH) BrightFlow's biggest success is the families that have been helped. Not only with the clients, but the employees as well. Never did I imagine what I was going to do would impact so many different lives. [MUSIC PLAYING] (DESCRIPTION) Logo, US Bank. US Bank dot com slash Business Essentials. Copyright 2022.
