On this Hatchcast Extra, we bring you the recorded-live interview with Larry Gaynor, moderated by the inimitable Ken Szymusiak.
Larry founded tng worldwide (TNG) in 1985 and is the company's President and CEO. He had the vision for what manicurists wanted and set out to meet those needs. With only three employees, Gaynor produced a 16-page black and white catalog, installed an 800 number for orders, developed the Gold Card (now TIS Rewards) and introduced the first nail show outside of California.
In 2001, Gaynor was named Ernst & Young’s Michigan “Entrepreneur of the Year.” TNG has earned the Detroit Free Press “Best Workplaces” award since 2008. Gaynor also brought Gallup principles to TNG, creating a strength-based organization. Every talent knows their signature themes and they are used to enhance engagement with other talent and customers.
Today, TNG continues to be a leader in distributing and manufacturing within the beauty and hospitality industries. Gaynor created TNG’s signature brands including ForPro Professional Collection, the beauty industry’s #1 accessory brand; Ginger Lily Farms Botanicals (best-selling shampoo and body wash on Amazon); and EMMA Beauty, the fastest-growing nail polish brand.
