On this episode of The Stramaglio Show, Mike welcomes back Mike Marusic, President & CEO of Sharp Business USA, for his first return visit since their conversation three years ago. A lot has changed!
The conversation covers the Konica Minolta and Marco partnership and what it means for the dealer community, Sharp's unique advantage through its Foxconn relationship, and why Sharp's pipeline heading into the second half of the year is bigger than all of 2025 combined. Marusic also shares two pieces of career advice every young person in the industry should hear: learn more from your mistakes than your wins, and always keep a financial safety net so you can make the right call without fear.
The episode also touches on Sharp's growing display and laptop business, the next generation of industry leaders, and the difference between responsibility and accountability, which Mike Marusic sees as one of the most important distinctions in business today.
