In today's episode (#23) we interview Shea Pope. Shea grew up in Memphis, Tennessee graduating from Liberty University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting. He started his career at Logo Brands.  Logo Brands is now consistently a Top 5 Non-Apparel Sports Licensing Company in the USA, producing mainly tailgating goods sold in sports stores nationwide. He was a Regional Sales Manager until 2006 when he was promoted to COO and became a managing partner in the company. During his time in this leadership role, revenue for the company multiplied six times to $12M.  Shea and his family moved with the company to Nashville, and he remained in this position until exiting the company in March of 2018.  During his tenure as a partner, Logo revenues increased to over $40M. He helped grow the overall technology and operations of the company in all areas of the business to accommodate this growth.  In addition to this Shea has also worked closely with owners, licensors, and licensees negotiating high-value multimillion-dollar licensing deals.  In 2019 Shea was a founding partner in Driven Security, which is a leading supplier of commercial video / access control security products in Alabama. He is also a current Real Estate investor of almost 14 years. During this tenure in real estate investment, he continued seeking new opportunities to develop in the industry.
