Jon Nobis, CEO, Two Men and a Truck

Shannon Hudson, CEO and Co-Founder, 9Round Franchising

Bette Fetter, CEO and Founder, Young Rembrandts
I don't know that it has in the long term. During the recession, we didn't experience a very significant drop in sales.

Larry Oberly, CEO and President, SpeedPro Imaging
I always believe in running a company with the worst headwinds ahead in mind. Don't get sloppy, don't spend needlessly, and stay focused on doing the right things at the right time. Read the full profile here.

Rob Price, CEO and President, School of Rock
With more global prosperity, our prospects internationally have grown. Already many of our most successful schools are outside the United States. Read the full profile here.
