And I'm so happy that you get to see beautiful Theresa
0:10
in a dress today and earrings.
0:12
And so, you know, she doesn't like the camera
0:15

0:29
of the most beautiful women in Savannah, Georgia.

0:32
I know, I'm truthful, I'm really truthful.
0:34
- Thank you.
0:36
- She is, she is one of the most beautiful women
0:37
in Savannah. - Inside and out.
0:39
- Inside and out, yes, Cynthia.
0:42
And she's got a story that I would like to,
0:48
you folks out there to hear because I don't know
0:51
if y'all remember but in the,
0:58
was it the early two thousands?
1:02
I got an invitation from Oprah to appear on her show.
1:08
- How exciting.
1:09
- It was so exciting.
1:11
She was doing a show on women who had started businesses
1:16
in their home.
1:18
- Okay.
1:19
- It was five of us, only three were gonna be on stage.
1:22
And they called me right before, you know,
1:24
I was still leaving.
1:25
And she said, you're one of the three
1:27
that's gonna be on stage.
1:28
- Wow, how exciting.
1:28
- So it was just the biggest honor.
1:32
And Cecilia Russo reminds me of my story,
1:40
you know, a helping hand.
1:43
Helping hand.
1:45
How you take your blessings and-
1:49
- Absolutely. - Moving forward.
1:52
And Cecilia is working on that right now.
1:56
So how about you, Theresa has known Cecilia probably
2:02
all their lives.
2:02
- For a long, long time.
2:04
- Long, long time. (everyone laughs)
2:05
- And I've only been here 35 years.
2:08
- Well, I've know you just as long.
2:10
(everyone laughs)
2:11
Just as long as (indistinct).
2:14
- So I always love to get an opportunity
2:16
to spend time with Cecilia.
2:18
- Oh, I know.
2:19
- Thank you very much. - I know.
2:20
- I appreciate that.
2:23
- So I would like for Cecilia to tell her story,
2:28
share her story with you 'cause I've always said
2:33
men, women, if you want something badly enough
2:39
and you're willing to work for it,
2:41
I mean really work, you can make dreams come true.
2:45
And she is one of those examples and she is one of those
2:49
mentors that we can look and watch
2:54
and learn things from you.
2:56
- Thank you.
2:56
- So, go girl.
2:57
- Thank you, thank you.
2:58
Well, that's where it started.
3:00
So 15 years ago I was doing PR for different,
3:05
I worked for other people all the time.
3:08
- Mainly schools, right?
3:09
- Yes, some schools and, yeah, higher education
3:12
and did PR and some fundraising which I think is why
3:15
I still have a part of me all the time
3:18
it goes back to philanthropy and community
3:20
because when you start like that, it's so important.
3:23
But anyway, so when I had a very wonderful phone call
3:28
from a dear friend of mine that said, I need you to help me.
3:32
I cannot be in Savannah during this time.
3:36
And the Tour de Georgia was coming
3:37
so I worked with the lieutenant governor in the state
3:40
and helped with the PR and all of that
3:43
around this wonderful Peloton cycling race.
3:47
And I remember at that point starting my business,
3:50
going to, you know, I mean this, I hadn't done anything.
3:53
So, Secretary of State and I said to mama and daddy,
3:56
okay this is what my car costs,
3:58
this is what my mortgage costs and I'm gonna give it a shot.
4:03
- They're like, oh lord.
4:04
- You know, I still living at home at the time.
4:06
- This was off of your first check.
4:08
This is your first check that you gotten from-
4:10
- First check.
4:11
- And how much was it? - It was from that
4:12
phone call from that friend.
4:13
- It is, yes.
4:15
And I'd just moved out.
4:16
Lived right around the corner, and mom was like,
4:18
"Well, we still have your room."
4:19
I was like, no, no, no, this is what my mortgage is.
4:21
On and on and I thought, I can do this.
4:23
And she said-
4:24
- How much was it, Cecilia?
4:25
- $5,000.
4:26
She said, it's gonna be $5,000.
4:28
And I said, oh gosh.
4:29
She said, we just need you to work,
4:31
I had to work like four to six weeks to get it done.
4:34
And it was a lot of work but it was one of those things
4:37
that you knew if you want it badly enough,
4:40
you can make that
4:42
money last and go. - That's exactly right.
4:43
- So I put my head down and did it.
4:46
And I had always, I was lucky enough to have mentors
4:50
in my life, so I never had to look for a job.
4:53
Always had somebody saying, Cecilia, why don't you go here?
4:57
And Cecilia, why don't you go here?
4:58
And on and on.
4:59
And Cliff McCray is a dear, dear mentor of mine.
5:02
He always just kind of watched me and said,
5:04
this is where I think you should, you know,
5:06
talk to somebody next.
5:07
So anyway, I was lucky enough for that.
5:09
And so I said to this friend of mine, yep, let's do it.
5:14
- So you quit your job.
5:15
- I quit my job and said- - To do this,
5:16
in order to do this little four to five week gig.
5:19
Oh wow, you're brave. - And I thought, well-
5:21
- Yes, brave.
5:23
- Well that's what it takes.
5:24
- Well, bravery and maybe a little stupidity,
5:27
but a lot of faith.
5:29
- That's right. - And a lot of prayers.
5:30
- That's right.
5:31
- And I just thought, you know, but I grew up,
5:33
daddy had a small business and I knew what it took
5:36
that you can't just-
5:37
- Let me explain to everybody who Cecilia Russo is.
5:43
Her family has been here in Savannah how many years?
5:45
How far back?
5:46
- Three generations.
5:47
Four? - Three generations.
5:49
And her family is in the seafood business
5:53
and their reputation is so good, so good.
6:00
If you want good seafood go down to Russo's
6:03
at the railroad tracks.
6:04
- That's right.
6:06
- And Mr Charlie, Mr Charlie.
6:07
- That's right, he's still there.
6:08
He's 81 years old-
6:09
- No, no. - Every day he's there.
6:12
- And so, so neat.
6:17
So they are a highly, highly respected family.
6:20
Old, old, old family here in Savannah.
6:24
So that's her roots, okay?
6:25
- Thank you.
6:26
So I had grown up like that and knew that, and so I did it.
6:29
And from that you have, we were talking about it
6:34
a little bit earlier, that relationships are what you,
6:38
that connectivity and that relationship
6:41
is what does everything.
6:42
That's how you meet and greet people in Savannah,
6:45
but those true lasting relationships
6:47
are what's more important, most important.
6:49
It's not just saying hi to somebody on the street,
6:51
it's really building those, that connectivity
6:55
and staying close to those people.
6:58
So as I did the Tour de Georgia and met all of these
7:01
business leaders in Savannah, one by one they started
7:05
getting in touch with me.
7:06
Like, can you help us do this function?
7:09
Or can you, can you help us do PR here?
7:11
Can you write this press release?
7:13
And so it took off from there.
7:15
And I have been very fortunate to keep going after 15 years.
7:22
And that's really, that $5,000 check,
7:26
that one $5,000 launched my entire career
7:30
to now I am 15 years later and loving every second.
7:35
- How much did you have to start with?
7:38
- Me, I had a big $200.
7:41
- $200.
7:42
See that was, I mean that's-
7:43
- But I had a burning pit in my stomach.
7:47
I had two sons and I never wanted them to have to feel
7:51
the things that I had felt right in my life.
7:54
And like I said, it's, you know,
7:58
I'm no smarter than the next one, never, never.
8:03
But I had staying power.
8:06
If you could stand up there at my stove and work 12 hours
8:08
then I could stand up and work 14 hours.
8:11
- Right, right.
8:13
- You know, you just, it's just what you do
8:14
when you got that burning pit
8:16
in your stomach. - Right, it is.
8:18
- And I bet you that $5,000 check that they gave you,
8:22
by the time you worked your time out,
8:24
you probably made $2 an hour.
8:26
- Oh, I bet.
8:27
(everyone laughs)
8:28
And that's mom and daddy said to me too,
8:30
do what you have to do.
8:30
And I said, I'm just gonna keep on going and-
8:33
- That's right.
8:34
- By the grace of God, again, some someone else said,
8:36
hey, do this, and then it was another client, another client
8:39
and I just steadily built it from there
8:42
and then built a team.
8:44
With Cynthia we, so I started and she was an intern.
8:49
She was in college and she was a PR intern and-
8:53
- Oh, so did you meet her?
8:54
- I took my chance on her. - At a party.
8:56
- At a party. - Yay.
8:58
- True Savannah (indistinct).
9:00
- I was gonna say, that's what we do in Savannah.
9:01
- It was a work party.
9:03
- It was, it was a work party.
9:04
And once we started talking, I said,
9:06
you know what do you want.
9:08
And she, I left, this is what I'm doing
9:09
this what I'm graduating from.
9:10
I said, oh my gosh, I've always, I've always believed
9:13
to hire someone smarter and more organized
9:17
than me. - Absolutely.
9:17
- All the time.
9:18
And she was younger and smarter and much more organized
9:21
than I.
9:22
- You give me a lot of credit.
9:23
- No, but still to this day.
9:25
So after meeting at a party and finding out that Cynthia
9:29
was in school and wanted to intern, we did a,
9:32
I think it was a 300 hour
9:34
internship. - Internship program.
9:37
- And then, you know, she said-
9:39
- Now did you pay her, did you pay her?
9:41
- I did pay my internship.
9:43
- Yes. - Yes, yes.
9:44
- And now was this for school?
9:44
Did you need an internship?
9:46
- Yeah, so I waited until the very end of my program
9:50
so I could devote all of my time and energy
9:52
into my internship.
9:54
And it was the best opportunity.
9:57
I got to write and take photos, interview.
9:59
And I enjoyed every moment of it.
10:03
- Internship (indistinct).
10:04
(indistinct) - Yes, yes.
10:05
- Internships are not pick up dry cleaning and get coffee.
10:09
You know, mine are right, it's optimize and pitch stories
10:13
and take photographs.
10:14
And I want someone to understand that if they're interning
10:17
they need to know you either love it
10:19
or you don't. - Or you don't.
10:21
- And where agency works.
10:22
So same thing, like all the same from her kitchen table.
10:26
I mean, we had kitchen tables and dining room tables.
10:28
I didn't need bricks and mortar, you know?
10:30
We needed (indistinct) we needed a computer and a telephone.
10:35
And we-
10:36
- And I love it.
10:37
- Yes. - And it was great.
10:38
It was great.
10:39
So then she graduated and I offered her
10:42
her first full-time job, and it's been-
10:46
- The rest is history.
10:47
- And how long (indistinct).
10:48
- December will be my 10 year anniversary.
10:51
- Oh my goodness.
10:53
- So yours is 10 years with her
10:53
and mine will be 20 years in November.
10:56
- Oh really?
10:57
Oh yay, I love (indistinct).
10:59
(everyone talking)
11:01
I know, I know.
11:02
- 20 years. - Yes.
11:03
- That's a big deal.
11:04
- Wow.
11:05
Yes, congratulations.
11:06
- So 10 years, I didn't mean, but that was just funny
11:08
that we were all like milestones, the 15, 10, 20.
11:13
- So, you know, you just kind of keep building
11:15
and I've been lucky enough to have Cynthia by my side
11:18
all the time and then build a team.
11:20
- And you're grooming her so that when you're said and done.
11:25
- I'm ready.
11:26
So, yeah, so it was, gosh, three years ago or so.
11:31
Each year when we're talking, we, you know,
11:33
talk about what our goals are, what you want out of life
11:37
and on and on.
11:38
And Cynthia, I wanna start a family.
11:39
She just started a family.
11:41
So Emerson is-
11:42
- He's three and a half now.
11:44
- Oh my goodness.
11:45
- And so I said, tell me, you know, you wanna be a mama.
11:48
I'm not a mama, I'm a, I'm (indistinct) mama.
11:51
Now I'm a CC, I'm a mama now.
11:54
But you know, that's a long, longer story.
11:58
- We don't have time for that.
11:59
- No, but I, so we just sat down and talked about goals
12:04
and she wants her, what you confided in me
12:08
and what we really put together as a goal opportunity
12:12
was Cynthia had grown up in an entrepreneur family as well.
12:15
Her daddy has a business in security systems.
12:19
And so she said, that's what I want, and how can I do that?
12:22
And I said, you can do it.
12:24
And she said, well I don't know what, you know, don't leave.
12:26
And I said, I'm not going anywhere but if you want
12:29
what I've got, what I'm doing and what we're doing together,
12:32
let's do it together and you learn.
12:34
And she's very, you know, she had PR, all of that.
12:37
She's very, very good at all of that.
12:40
But one of the things that she wanted to look into too
12:44
was our consulting for nonprofits and philanthropy
12:49
and on and on where you know enough about that
12:53
for community.
12:54
You know, you have to give back to the community
12:57
of which you're working.
12:58
- Right.
12:58
- So when you say nonprofit, so are you actually like
13:03
working with companies to really maximize their opportunity
13:08
in the nonprofit world so that they're really-
13:10
- We do, we do both.
13:11
- That's awesome.
13:12
- So when we, when I started, it was just, and again it was,
13:16
it wasn't intentional, but it's what you attract.
13:18
- I remember this.
13:19
- I worked with a lot of small business,
13:22
women-owned businesses.
13:24
And as we grew as a team and we grew as a company,
13:28
we had larger businesses, we have corporate businesses,
13:32
large firms, things like that.
13:34
So having Cynthia as part of like my right hand gal
13:38
all the time it just kept developing.
13:40
And she managed, she was the gatekeeper.
13:43
So I was the creative and and boots on the ground.
13:48
And then she was, you know, she kind of handled everything.
13:51
So three years ago became managing partner
13:54
and knew that this was something that would be able to,
13:59
you know, that she would be able to go forward with.
14:01
So that entrepreneurship part of her, that entrepreneurism,
14:06
really when we were all just sitting around thinking,
14:10
hey, it's the 15th, how are we gonna do it?
14:13
It was just an obvious fit.
14:14
We're gonna, we want to help that next entrepreneur.
14:18
- So you're celebrating 15 years this year.
14:20
- 15 years.
14:21
We started in 2008 and-
14:24
- And you have a way to celebrate that.
14:25
This is a big thing for you, which is one of the reasons
14:27
we wanted to have you on also.
14:29
- It's a big thing.
14:30
It's a big thing.
14:31
We're really excited.
14:32
- Yeah.
14:33
- So tell us about that.
14:34
Yeah, I think it might be time to tell our friends
14:38
out there why you're really here.
14:42
(ladies laughs)
14:43
(everyone laughs)
14:48
I don't want to (indistinct) I'm loving it.
14:51
But you are offering...
14:58
- Grants.
14:59
- Yes, you're offering grants to people
15:03
in the state of Georgia, only in the state of Georgia.
15:06
You're paying it back to your home state.
15:08
- Right.
15:10
- And men or women, men or women.
15:14
And the requirement is that you must be an entrepreneur
15:19
that's been in business, that started a business
15:22
and has been staying alive for one year.
15:26
- Yes, well, yes.
15:28
- In that legal jargon.
15:30
It can't just be like, it doesn't have to be a person
15:32
like me coming to you and saying,
15:33
I have no idea what I wanna do.
15:34
- Right, no, no, no, no, no, no.
15:36
No, it's for-
15:37
- I could be in it for years. - Someone who started
15:38
a business, yes, 12 to 18 months.
15:40
- And now they realize they need money.
15:42
- Right, yes. - They need money.
15:44
- A budding entrepreneur, someone who is beginning
15:47
their business and that this $5,000 will really help more.
15:51
- And you're not doing just one.
15:53
- It helped me.
15:54
No, we're, in homage to our 15th
15:57
we're giving three $5,000 grants and-
16:01
- It's so wonderful.
16:03
- I mean, because we want, because it's statewide and again,
16:07
we had a (indistinct)-
16:09
- So all our Georgia, anybody from Georgia watching
16:11
that wants to become an entrepreneur just tell 'em
16:14
what they need to do.
16:15
- Well, one of the things- - That has a business
16:16
that they've started.
16:17
- One of the things that really impressed me
16:20
was that I'm always gonna get this wrong.
16:22
- Georgia's First Commission.
16:25
- Is what Brian Kemp started years ago in office
16:29
just to look at policies and procedures
16:31
and different things.
16:33
- For small businesses, how small business operates.
16:35
- Georgia is the number one state
16:38
for small businesses in our country.
16:40
- It's amazing.
16:41
- Which I mean, it makes me so happy.
16:43
So he saw that we were doing this, he's encouraged this.
16:46
We have, I think you said what, 200?
16:49
- 216 applicants.

16:54
We're keeping this open until October 1st.
16:56
- I was gonna say when is the deadline?
16:59
- The deadline is October 1st.
17:00
- And what do they need to do?
17:01
- Just tell 'em. - Go on the website.
17:04
- You go on the website and you write a pitch.
17:06
- And what is the website?
17:07
- Crussomarketing.com.
17:10
- Yes.
17:11
- Nobody can spell Cecilia.
17:13
You have to buy all kinds of domains.
17:14
- That is the letter C, the letter C, not the ocean.
17:21
- And Russo is R-U-S-S-O.
17:23
Crussomarketing.
17:24
C-R-U-S-S-O.
17:25
- What do they need to send you?
17:26
Like if I want to...
17:28
- All of the application process is on there
17:32
but it's very simple.
17:33
It's a thousand word pitch of why, you know,
17:36
why they want to be an entrepreneur,
17:39
what this $5,000 is gonna do for them?
17:42
And-
17:43
- And what would be their plans like moving forward
17:45
once they have that money. - Yeah, right.
17:46
- What they could use this for.
17:47
And my hope would be that when they become successful
17:55
in 15 years, 30 years, 20 years, whatever that's gonna be,
17:59
that they would take this same part of their heart
18:01
and pay it forward.
18:03
And I think it's not only, I don't want,
18:07
I don't want it to feel like we're just giving a check
18:10
and walking away either.
18:11
- Right. - 'Cause I think,
18:12
like we talked about that mentorship is so important.
18:16
So to say it's not easy Mr or Mrs So-and-so, but this is,
18:21
but this is what you and just have somebody to talk to
18:23
about it because- - Right.
18:23
- So you're gonna continue a relationship
18:25
with these individuals
18:26
and help them. - Yes, I would like,
18:27
I would like to have- - That's amazing.
18:28
- You know, I would like to offer them some mentorship
18:30
with that.
18:31
- Well, PR is a big deal
18:33
and a lot people dunno how to promote themselves.
18:35
- No, no.
18:36
- And that's the hardest thing, right?
18:36
- Yeah, PR is crazy.
18:38
- I didn't know 'cause you know, our first business
18:41
was called The Bag Lady and then we went to The Lady
18:45
when I was at Best Western. - Right.
18:46
- And then we went downtown, it became the Lady and Sons.
18:50
- Right.
18:52
- And I wanted to promote the Lady and Sons.
18:55
And when I finally got to a point to be exposed to agents
18:59
and things like that, they said,
19:01
no, you've got to sell your name.
19:07
Not the Lady and Sons, but Paula Deen the name.
19:12
And that was hard for me to get in my head.
19:14
- Right.
19:15
- Because the Lady and Sons was so much bigger
19:17
and more important than Paula Deen.
19:19
- Sure.
19:20
- And see, and I, and God love her,
19:22
she doesn't even, I'm not as fancy as Paula Deen.
19:24
So the reason mine is called Cecilia Russo Marketing
19:27
is I wasn't any smarter to know.
19:29
I thought, well, it's my name.
19:30
Well, that's what I'm doing.
19:32
So that's why my name is, you know, is on there.
19:35
But it is, it's hard.
19:37
And that's why a lot of our clients that come to us
19:39
whether they're real estate agents or attorneys
19:42
or architects or in construction,
19:44
they know how to do their industry.
19:46
- Yes.
19:47
- They do their business really, really well.
19:49
They don't know our business.
19:51
They don't know how to promote something.
19:53
They don't know, you know, the goodness of, you know,
19:56
helping with media relations and, you know,
20:00
now it's just such a huge thing, SEO words and-
20:03
- Oh yeah, yeah. - All the kind of-
20:04
- Social media has taken this role
20:06
to a whole different level. - Oh my gosh.
20:09
- It is, it is, and it's just, it's a lot, it's a lot.
20:14
She has a-
20:14
- Yeah, we have a team that's very, they're way smarter.
20:18
- 76 years old, I know how to press (indistinct).
20:22
- I love that.
20:23
- So that's it.
20:24
- Right, right.
20:26
- That is it.
20:27
If it wasn't for Theresa and if it wasn't for Eddie
20:29
and Casey and Kenzie and Carl.
20:33
- I know, we would-
20:34
- I'd probably be sitting in jail somewhere.
20:36
(everyone laughs)
20:38
- The application deadline is October 1st
20:41
and we're going to give the awards out
20:43
in the month of November
20:45
because that's entrepreneurship month.
20:47
- Oh.
20:48
- So we don't have a, we don't have a certain day
20:50
but we're taking some time and we're looking at
20:52
little by little starting in September just so we'll know,
20:55
you know, so we're not (indistinct).
20:57
- That's gonna be hard work on y'all's part.
20:58
- It is, it's a lot, it's a lot.
21:00
And we're gonna have a system.
21:01
I mean it's (indistinct).
21:02
- How many people do y'all two girls have?
21:06
- At any one time? - In our team?
21:07
- We have- - In your team now, you have-
21:09
- Gosh, probably 10 to 12 any-
21:12
- I would say 12 to 13.
21:13
- Okay, any given time.
21:14
So I have videographers and photographers
21:19
and writers and optimizers and-
21:21
- Oh, that's wonderful. - Drones people,
21:23
I mean, you know? - That's what I'm saying,
21:24
good people, good people.
21:26
- Yes, so it is. - Good people.
21:29
- But I think that that's what it is
21:31
and it's the good people that help you
21:34
and that's what you want to, that's why we're here.
21:37
We're here because there were good people leading me
21:39
and I want to be that kind of a leader.
21:42
And I think that it helps with the community overall.
21:46
- I pitch right now and tell anybody who wants to start
21:48
a business in Georgia to send their application.
21:51
- Well, honey- - Or share their story.
21:54
- Almost 10 years.
21:55
- So we're saying you have to do it for a year.
21:59
- No, no, no, no, no, they can be-
22:00
- They have to be in business for one year.
22:02
- No, no, no, they can be starting off.
22:04
They can be starting off- - Oh, okay.
22:06
- If they've already been in business for a year
22:08
or if they're-
22:08
- Just not limiting it to somebody that has already been
22:11
in business for a year.
22:12
- Right, I'm not saying it has to be somebody-
22:13
- Oh, okay.
22:14
- I want somebody who wants to be an entrepreneur
22:15
and that budding person.
22:16
- Well, see that's why I just love talking,
22:20
talking, talking because what I heard was that
22:24
one of the qualifications is you must have been
22:26
in your business one year.
22:28
- No.
22:29
- You must have started within the year.
22:31
- Oh, okay, good.
22:33
So that's wonderful.
22:35
If you heard me say you must be in business for one year,
22:38
erase that from your mind.
22:40
