This is a very special episode for me because I get to interview one of my oldest and best friends. To know Andy Langsam is to love his fun-loving nature and mischievous laugh. Those who know him, though, understand that he has the biggest heart of anyone. He will drop what he is doing in order to help anyone. There are countless stories of Andy doing this and if you know him personally, no doubt you have some stories of your own. Today, Andy and I talk about how he built a marketing empire over the past 19 years that started in his college dormroom at American University in Washington, DC.

Jenny is one of the most charismatic and energetic beings you will ever meet! I was fortunate that our paths crossed as we were working on our coaching certifications and I have followed her ever since as she continues to impact the world with positivity, love and business acumen. Today we discuss her diverse background, how she builds businesses with a spirit of rest and peace, and how she believes that true entrepreneurs are never stuck.  If you are thinking of starting a business you need to hear Jenny's story. If you are already running a business that you intend to grow, you need to hear Jenny's story! Here is some more about Jenny: Jenny has more than 20 years of corporate Marketing & Public Relations experience and managed global communications for Fortune 100 companies including Kellogg's; SC Johnson; and Kohler Co. She worked directly with CEOs on speech writing, reputation management, crisis communications, & marketing. Over the course of her corporate career, she developed & executed communications plans related to law, crises & labor management; social media outreach; marketing initiatives; & community relations.
 As a Marketing/PR professional, she wore many hats. Until she became a mother... and then she wore a few more: professional diaper changer, dress-up artist, face painter. Motherhood sparked a desire for more flexibility & control over her day-to-day activities. Today, Jenny uses her talents on her own business. She started this business while working full–time & with the success of her new venture, was able to leave the corporate 9-5 (more like 24/7) behind. This change allows Jenny the freedom to spend more time with her family, make her own schedule, mentor others, and explore the new possibilities that come with the company. Needless to say, none of this involves an alarm clock or urgent deadlines. Jenny continues to make a positive impact in her role as an entrepreneur and business leader by training, guiding and mentoring individuals that dream of reclaiming their life without sacrificing their professional identity. Her goal is to help others realize the life they want to lead and then build it. Her organization's mission is FREEDOM. A global organization of people that are free and without limits to live the life that makes sense for them and their families. Words that are used to describe their unique culture are accountable, giving, transparent, accepting, humble, savvy business people, compassionate, no limits, God fearing, servant leaders and fun.

Today we get a chance to get into the entrepreneurial mind of Dr Garrick Baskerville! Like many of us see in our businesses, Dr Baskerville saw many opportunities to increase the level of care in his healthcare practice. Unfortunately, he is in an industry that measures success based upon the number of patients seen in a day, no the care that is delivered. What would you do in that situation? Dr Baskerville took it upon himself to re-imagine what a medial practice looks and feels like. He launched METSI Care in Austin, TX and is in the process of expanding around the country. His practice provides care with an innovative subscription model that allows patients to enjoy a high level of care and attention without the need for complicated insurance plans. Dr. Garrick Baskerville is a board-certified Family Medicine physician and the Founder of METSI Care. He received a B.S. degree in Biology from the Pennsylvania State University. He then received his Medical Degree (M.D.) from the Pennsylvania State Hershey College of Medicine and completed his residency at Christiana Care Health System in Wilmington, DE. He has practiced in Primary Care, Urgent Care, Sports Medicine, and Occupational Health (Worker's Compensation) for the past 14 years. ​ Dr. Garrick is passionate about providing high quality care that addresses all aspects of what makes us human beings, including mind, body, and spirit. He believes that care should be affordable for everyone and that quality care takes time. That said, he believes a patient should have time to address their issues and not feel rushed during a visit. At METSI, the visits are 30 - 60 minutes, if needed. When he practiced in traditional, insurance, based models of care, he was scolded by administrators when he wanted to spend more than 15 minutes with his patients. That didn't sit right with Dr. Garrick and he told himself back in 2012 that he would eventually start his own practice where he could provide the kind of care he would give to his own family. With that, he founded METSI Care. METSI launched in November of 2019. Dr. Garrick is also a photographer who enjoys capturing human expressions of joy and excitement. He also enjoys taking both action and slow motion, low light shots. He has photographed artists including Aaliyah, 98 degrees, Mos Def, Colbie Caillat, and Taylor Swift. Dr. Garrick started photography using his dad's professional Minolta camera after losing his father to bone cancer in 1997. He used the camera as a way of healing and connecting with his father which he still does today. In his free time, he enjoys creating and cooking healthy recipes as a freestyle cook, and attending live music events, comedy shows, art shows, and performance art/theatre events. He was an extra in Season 3 of House of Cards. He has been taking bass lessons and plans to start voice lessons soon, as he wants to perform in his favorite cities including Austin, Philly, LA, and Nashville! ​ Dr. Garrick was a speaker at the SXSW Conference 2019 and for the American Academy of Family Practice Direct Primary Care Summit in 2020, as well as other various speaking events in 2020.

In this episode we interview the CEO & Founder of Honeygrow, Justin Rosenberg. Not only does he recount the amazing story of how he learned the skills necessary to launch this ground breaking quick-service restaurant concept, but also he shares the reality of how he and his team weathered the storm that COVID brought the food industry.  We also discuss the role that kindness has played in the growth of his brand and the development of their strong culture as they have expended to 26 locations (at the time of our recording). More about Justin: Justin Rosenberg is Founder and CEO of honeygrow, a fast-casual stir-fry and salad concept founded in Philadelphia in 2012. With a mission to create a unique, spirited brand focused on simple, wholesome foods, Rosenberg has led the company's creation and growth, which today consists of 26 units. Prior to launching honeygrow, Rosenberg worked as an Asset Manager and Manager of Energy Services for PREIT in Philadelphia, where he was responsible for purchasing and hedging strategies, energy costing, solar power development, capital budgeting, retail re-merchandising strategies and forecasting for a portfolio of over 35 national shopping centers and malls throughout the US. After seven years in the finance and real estate industry, Rosenberg decided it was time to pursue his true passions of entrepreneurialism, cooking and creative brand-building. Influenced by his recent adoption of a plant-based diet and his love for design and music, he drew inspiration for a concept set to differentiate itself from the rest. To prepare himself for this new venture, Justin staged at various restaurants from Philadelphia to Washington, D.C. to gain further experience in kitchen operations, cooking, and leadership. In 2012, the first honeygrow location opened in the Rittenhouse neighborhood of Philadelphia, and Rosenberg's vision catapulted to the next level. Since that day, honeygrow would continue to expand its unit count and team, with sights set for becoming an enduring, sustainable organization. The company has raised over $70 million in equity financing and has grown into the Boston, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Washington DC and the New York City metro areas. In 2020, Justin received the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award for the Greater Philadelphia region. Justin resides in the Philadelphia suburbs with his wife and three children. His passions outside of honeygrow include Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, cooking, all-things guitar, hiking, and surfing. He is a member of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia's (CHOP) Corporate Council and a board member of the Common Market Mid-Atlantic. Click here to connect with Justin!

Today we are joined by Jeff Price, VP of Product at Neat! Our conversation centers around Jeff's perspective that "the product our company offers is the totality of what the customer expects." During the episode we unpack how Jeff suggests we conduct market research and how we keep customers and prospects engaged in our product roadmap. Read Jeff's take on what a Product Manager does: The best product leaders spend their days obsessing over problem discovery, storytelling, and creating authentic connections to their customers in order to provide unexpectedly delightful experiences. This is what I do and I try to do it by living the 'my opinion, though interesting, is irrelevant' mantra which ensures that no ideas are good ideas unless they are aimed exclusively at solving pervasive and painful market problems.
