In other words a “get stuff done” mindset.Today my guest is Jacob Hurrell-Zitelman, the 23 year old founder of Quick Sip Coffee and the CEO of getting stuff done.Jacob and I talk about how he went from selling homemade cold brew coffee from his backpack at school, to building a brand and having bottles fly off the shelves of major grocery chains like H-E-B and Central Market, and the many lessons he's learning along the way.I had a great time talking with Jacob and I can't wait to share this episode with you!If this podcast is helping you in your business than help us promote it by following us or leaving us a beautiful 5-star review!

Your brand needs protection.Let me say it again: Your brand needs protection. In this highly open and viral world we live in, it's no surprise that good business ideas and products are becoming easier to use as inspiration, or just flat out stolen, by new and established brands. All it takes is a Google search and endless examples of brand names, logos, and products will be there for the taking.So, how can you protect your brand from thieves and copycats?Trademarks.A trademark gives you nationwide exclusivity for your branding–your name, your logo, your tag line. Your brand's identity is not officially yours unless you register the trademark. So you must understand that trademarks are not an option; they are essential.So, how do you get a trademark?Today I have expert trademark attorney Tom Ladegaard on the show to tell you all about it!If this podcast is helping you in your business than help us promote it by following us or leaving us a beautiful 5-star review!

I'm a big believer in the powers of joy.So much so, in fact, that many people refer to me as, “Joy Beast.”  Pretty cool, huh?And I'm not just talking about joy in your brand or business, I'm talking about joy in life.Because I'll tell ya, authentic joy is communicable. It spreads like a wildfire, transferring from one joyful individual to another. So something as seemingly modest as a smile, or a thank you, can be enough to give someone joy, which will allow them to spread their joy to those they come into contact with as well. See where I'm going now?One of the fastest paths to a happier world is to spark some joy in your life and in the lives of those around you. Do it intentionally and do it authentically.So go check out the episode, subscribe, and go out and spark some joy!If this podcast is helping you in your business than help us promote it by following us or leaving us a beautiful 5-star review!

Naming a brand or a new product can be one of the hardest choices you make for a business because it's a choice that has everlasting impact.In fact, one of the most common questions I get asked is:“Ed, how do I come up with the perfect name?”Well, that's tough because the perfect name will vary from brand to brand, but there are a few things a name must be:1. A name must be able to classify the uniqueness of the brand or of the product.2. The name must be recognizable.3. A name must be personal. Not only to you, but to your customer as well.And each one of these individual musts must be approached with a ton of consideration.So … what's in name?A lot more than you think.Come along as I break it all down on the latest episode of Howie Grow A Brand!If this podcast is helping you in your business than help us promote it by following us or leaving us a beautiful 5-star review!

Being new is a powerful claim for a brand.It's good to be cutting edge with a fresh approach. But let me tell ya about an even more powerful claim: the past.Often, we look back at the stepping stones of our lives with a wistful remembrance. We long for the good old days, when things were simpler, and joy was abundant. If a brand has been present for those moments, it has a great opportunity…Nostalgia.Nostalgia in marketing works. When a brand associates itself with the meaningful moments in its customers lives, it establishes a relationship that goes beyond a financial interaction. There's an entire generation that will never forget Mikey liking his bowl of Life® cereal or Peter coming home for Christmas and brewing a hot pot of Folgers® Coffee for his parents. These products aren't just known, they are felt. So what relationship have you established with your customers?If your brand has been around a while, you need to be taking advantage of nostalgia.And if you are a new brand, ya better be working hard to create it. Let's get into it!If this podcast is helping you in your business than help us promote it by following us or leaving us a beautiful 5-star review!

Pivot: a strategic change in directionRivet: a nearly unmovable fastenerAre you considering a pivot for you brand? If so, congratulations! You're paying attention to the ever-changing environment around you. Sometimes, to survive, we must adapt. But wait, before you make that move … Listen to this podcast. There are many things to plan when pivoting and too often, you get so wrapped up in all that's new that you forget the most important plan of all: the plan for your customers. So you (hopefully) know where the brand is heading. That's great, but let me tell ya, that doesn't mean your customer does. In today's episode, I'm going to help you understand how to look into the core of your company and find the unmovable rivets so you can set clear expectations for your customers of what's to come.If this podcast is helping you in your business than help us promote it by following us or leaving us a beautiful 5-star review!

Is your company a brand? Or is it a commodity? With the amount of competition out there, allowing your brand to become a commodity–to be replaceable–is not an option. You never want to be the “take it or leave it” brand. You want people to crave your brand. You want them to feel like your brand adds a sense of completion to their lives. Even if they could live without you…they wouldn't want to.  In this episode I teach you how to ensure your brand keeps winning others over and over and never becomes a commodity.If this podcast is helping you in your business than help us promote it by following us or leaving us a beautiful 5-star review!

Running a business and a brand takes a lot of energy.Often, you feel like you can't afford to let off the gas and hit the brakes. But it's detrimental to not consider yourself, your mental health, and the energy that you contribute when assessing the health of your business. Because if you run out of gas, you're stuck.And let me tell ya… that's not good for business.So how can you disconnect without putting your business in jeopardy? You must find your balance.

All aspects of life have had to adapt due to COVID-19, and networking is no exception.If digital networking was revving up before the pandemic, it's going 100 miles per hour now. What's missing is the human interaction of a handshake, hearing someone's voice in person, and handing someone a business card. So now that COVID-19 seems to (hopefully) be rounding a corner, how can we…in a post-pandemic future?David Strausser, host of the hit podcast “Shark Bite Biz,” helps us grasp the new reality of networking through his experience as an expert networker. Tune in and learn some new ways to reach out!If this podcast is helping you in your business than help us promote it by following us or leaving us a beautiful 5-star review!

Marketing and advertising can shape culture. We hold a great power in our ability to show persuasive messaging to the masses. We also know that with great power comes great responsibility.

We all love revenue.Revenue means cashflow and as an entrepreneur, cashflow is SO important. It's easy to get excited and be joyful when the money's coming in… but what about when the money's going out?  Does payroll bring you joy?  Being able to process payroll and being able to pay your employees should be exciting. It's exciting because it means you have enabled your team to do their job well enough to have that revenue coming in. It means everyone is honoring their end of the agreement. It means you are doing something right. So, doesn't it make sense to get joy from that? Easier said than done; believe me. I've been there. So how can you change your mindset and increase joy when you're signing those checks? I'm gonna tell ya in today's episode!

I don't know about you but I don't like buying something when I realize it's being sold to me. We all know you can't run a successful business without selling what you offer, so how do we sell... without selling?In this episode I welcome David Strausser, business owner and host of the hit podcast "Shark Bite Biz," to discuss David's personal approach to sales.We touch on how the pandemic has opened up new opportunities, why it's detrimental to turn down sales, and David gives a fist full of methods he uses to genuinely make customers fall in love with his products.

You know, when you meet up with other business owners, it's so easy to talk about sales and profits. Too often we use the financial side of the business to judge success. What you never hear is, "How is your stewardship?" But it should be the first question asked.So, what is stewardship? Stewardship is the belief that we need to take care of what's entrusted to us to the best of our ability.Going back to my first job at Chick-Fil-A, I've consistently witnessed that stewardship and business run parallel with each other. Use your strengths, know your weaknesses, and build the right team to fill in the cracks. Do the best you can each day with what you have and you have a much better chance at success.Listen and learn the 3 key ways that I take action to be a better steward with what I have each day.Now let me ask you...How's your stewardship?If this podcast is helping you in your business than help us promote it by following us or leaving us a beautiful 5-star review!

When you consider the attributes that will bring you success, what comes to mind? Motivation? Yeah.Problem solving? Okay, that's true.Discipline? A must!But how about joy?Today, I discuss the power of joy in business with the President and CEO of Brand Enchanting Media, Nichelle Pace.Nichelle has made joy an integral part of her business (and life) and is reaping the benefits. And I'm not only talking about the joy of closing the deal. I'm talking about the joy that customers feel when they visit your business. I'm talking about the joy your employees feel when they come to work or do a great job. And how about the joy you feel when you sign those employee paychecks?Making joy a priority for your business will change you for the better.

I'm not a person who uses the word "can't" often. The reason I started my business is because I KNEW I could do what it would take to ensure its success. But as entrepreneurs, we often feel like we’re the ones who have to do it all.The reality is there are things you can’t do. While you can't do it all, you can empower your team to use their strengths to succeed. Lean into your strengths and let your team lean into theirs.  Today we're chatting about how to make that happen…the strengths of your people are the strengths of your brand.Let's get to it!If this podcast is helping you in your business than help us promote it by following us or leaving us a beautiful 5-star review!

One of my greatest strengths is that I see the utmost potential in people. When hiring team members, that can be a tremendous weakness.I had to create a clear criteria through which to evaluate potential employees as we’ve grown our team. After all, selecting and retaining the right people is essential to protecting and growing your brand.I call this method “the 3 C’s to hiring the right people”, and I want to walk you through them today.Ready?

Let's talk about cereal. You know that aisle at the grocery store that’s just FILLED with boxes of cereal? Why does the world need 180 linear feet of cereal? That’s a lot. We all have our own preferences, and brands want to make sure there’s something for everyone. But if the customer doesn’t have a NEED for your product, are they even going to look at you?

In the past year, I know you have felt the challenges of running a business. Believe me! There's nothing like the feeling that doors will be closed all around you and the only word you will hear is, "no".But thinking and doing are completely different things.Let me tell you something that may or may not shock you: The answer is always no to the question you don't ask. You may even get vaccines! (I'll explain all this in the video!)Today I walk through the opportunity to move your business forward by asking questions without fear! Do not be afraid to ask questions for your business.

If your business is struggling, if you’re suffering and are on the verge of giving up the dream, listen up, because let me tell ya…It’s true that winners suffer longer. But that’s not the whole story.What you are suffering for is much larger than meeting the days quota, or the week's, or the month's. Each win aids the effort to get the next win, then the next win, and the win after that.The whole story reveals a domino effect of positive change, self improvement, and over all growth in the third act. But you have to stick around to see it.Today I unpack this a little bit through my experience as an indoor cycling instructor and the wisdom my good friend Brett Bartholomew shared about suffering. My advice? Lean into the suffering and focus on the win. Focus on the reward. Focus on the lessons learned. Focus on what the business will become if you can just. hold. on. If this podcast is helping you in your business than help us promote it by following us or leaving us a beautiful 5-star review!

What types of "governors" do you have for your leadership? When I was a kid, our school bus driver Mrs. Prince told me about the governor on the engine of the school bus that kept it from going too fast. (I remember thinking "there's a person inside there that controls the state?" Hey- I was five). In reality it was there to keep everyone safe.We have the ability to self-govern and we have the ability to inspire others to more deliberately self-govern. But sometimes in business it’s too much and we don’t live into our potential.So which governors do you need to ignore? That’s the subject of today’s chat. My inner 5-year-old hopes that Mrs. Prince hears this and smiles knowing that I still remember her lesson.If this podcast is helping you in your business than help us promote it by following us or leaving us a beautiful 5-star review!

Artificial Intelligence or Human Intelligence?What do you think when someone starts talking about AI?(That's artificial intelligence, for those of you not familiar with the acronym.) Do you have visions of the evil machine takeovers shown in Terminator, the Matrix, or even Robocop? When we consider the idea of AI in our future, something that people seem to ignore is the “artificial” part of AI.This year was an interesting one in Texas as we were challenged with several inches of snow, and a loss of power and water. During this period when people were wondering when power would be restored and whether they could drink the water from their faucets, if you happened to spend time browsing social media, it was apparent which brands were using AI and which were not. As we tried to get information about the crisis we were living through, messages flooded my inbox, telling me I could purchase a new car for less than retail or asking if I'd seen their last message about whatever service they were offering. It’s the “artificial” nature of AI that lacks the human ability to adapt behavior to the situational needs of their customers. That’s what we’re talking about in today’s episode.If this podcast is helping you in your business than help us promote it by following us or leaving us a beautiful 5-star review!

I don't want to beat a dead horse, but – man, what a year 2020 was. We are three months into the new year and I’m hoping we’re going to start seeing a light ahead. Lately, I have been spending more and more time thinking about the year behind us and what’s ahead. During one of these times of reflection, I was reminded of the things that were going through my mind this time last year. At this time last year, things were beginning to get heated. Masks were going up and business occupancy was coming down. My team and I were working as hard as we could for our clients to help them keep going. We were laser-focused on supporting them, but even during the pandemic we always kept three words top of mind when providing solutions: invite, assure, and entice.We found these words to be really effective as we evaluated how our clients were making and keeping a connection to their audience. Is your brand deliberately inviting people into your brand community? Are you assuring your customers that any business they do with you or your brand is worth the risk? Have you enticed your customers with something special when they do show up? What's your brand's "call to action"?These three words and the questions we asked to keep us focused were invaluable as we evaluated whether our solutions would be effective. In today’s episode, we will explore these words in depth. Are you ready?

WARNING: You may be have an overwhelming urge to get a Whopper from Burger King after this episode.On a recent visit to a local BK, I was reminded about the importance of every, single element of a brand’s overall experience. It got me wondering, “does every brand consider how their customers receive what they are all about—verbally, visually, and experientially?”Your customers are very observant.

How many of you have worked a part-time job in food service? Anybody?I spent my formative years working for Chick-Fil-A at South Square Mall in Durham, NC. It was quite the learning experience. I was one of those kids out with the samples passing them out to mall customers as they walked by. Chick-Fil-A believed then, as they do now, all someone had to do is taste the product once and they would be customers for life. What did Chick-Fil-A do? They understood the value of craveability. Their products are good, but without the initial taste, people may not have known how good the product was. One bite is all it takes.Is your brand craveable? Does it stay top of mind with your customers or do you have to continually entice and convince people to engage with your brand every, single time?Today, let’s chat about the value of making your brand crave-able.Truth be told, now I’m craving some Chick-Fil-A.

Managers are rushing to find ways to meet their goals while keeping their people safe. In all the rushing from place to place and task to task, we’re letting life pass us by.

As our team has been dispersed, we have had to deal with a different cultural dynamic. Culture is the collection of behaviors of the people within an organization. When something changes in the workplace, behaviors change. This change could have a good or a bad effect on the business environment.In 2020, business owners and entrepreneurs had to learn how to deal with a remote workforce and with safety measures that were not previously in place. Sometimes days, weeks, and months felt like they were in constant flux. The day-to-day uncertainty began to wear on teams and affected their feelings. When their feelings were affected, the work culture was affected as well.While some business owners and entrepreneurs were able to ignore or be oblivious to the work culture, now it's magnified. Whether it is managed or not, culture will grow and morph into something that you may or may not like.Today we’re talking to Delise Crimmins, Chief Culture Officer of the Culture Think Tank. Delise has helped brands fortify, leverage, and shift their culture to ensure they are optimized for success.Delise and I chat about culture and the importance of managing it so it evolves in a healthy, positive, and intentional way.This is an episode you don’t want to miss.
