New York, NY - When you think of the word “influence“, what do you think of? In the world of entrepreneurship and business, you probably think of names like Tony Robbins, Steve Jobs, and Mark Cuban.

24/7 Executives is a series of stories on high-performing professionals who are as serious at play as they are in the conference room.

"You have to be prepared for the unexpected and be able to form a new plan or new strategy," said Mr. Bobolo. "You can't steal second base without leaving first."

Mr. Aylesworth, 62, saw in Mr. Bobolo, a trait they share. "He's really hard to kill," said Mr. Aylesworth, referring to the tenacity, competitiveness and fierce drive embodied by Mr. Bobolo, a 2006 finalist for Ernst & Young's entrepreneur of the year award.
