Lemonade (NYSE: LMND) is a new player who's really adding zest to the insurance industry. Its AI-powered underwriting enables it to write new policies much more efficiently than its less-tech-savvy traditional competitors.And in addition to its agent-related costs being a fraction of others, its unique Synthetic Agents marketing approach is providing a very lucrative LTV/CAC of 3X (which is very good).In this 7investing exclusive livestream event, I shared a formal presentation that included insights about Lemonade's fundamental results, key metrics, competitive differentiation, current valuation, and technical trading factors that might make this stock particularly intriguing.It was also an interactive event, with a real-time chat and questions in the Q&A. I enjoyed this refreshing event, where we found out whether Lemonade is worth the squeeze as an investment. Thank you to all who attended live!
What does it take to build a breakout non-alcoholic beverage brand in today's ultra-competitive drinks market? For George Youmans, co-founder and Chief Revenue Officer of Hiyo, it starts with a crystal-clear brand promise: a stress-relieving, mood-boosting sensation they call “the float.”In just three years, Hiyo has grown into a category leader, selling over 500,000 cases annually, with +212% year-over-year retail sales growth — making it the #1 contributor to growth in the functional-other beverage category, according to SPINS. With its USDA Organic formulation, a national rollout in 946 Target stores, and a recent minority investment from Constellation Brands, Hiyo is cementing its place as a top player in the fast-rising functional non-alc space.In this episode, George shares:How Hiyo went from a bootstrapped pandemic idea to tripling retail revenue last yearThe role of e-commerce in Hiyo's early success, including a 10X sales leap in year two and 3X in year threeWhy the “floaty feeling” — not just functional ingredients — became the emotional core of the brandHow the team leverages its 500K+ DTC customer base to drive velocity at retail with targeted geo campaignsWhy Hiyo prioritizes rate of sale over door count, aiming for sustainable growth over splashy expansionHow packaging design — based on Californian sunset palettes — became a brand differentiatorThe importance of staying operationally lean while growing fast — and what George learned from early forecasting mistakesHow event partnerships with EDC, HARD Summer, and Breakaway Music Festival support liquid-to-lips trial with over 300,000 festivalgoersWhy George believes Hiyo can be for hard seltzers and RTDs what Athletic Brewing is for beerLast Call: On Last Call, we dive into a new per-capita wine consumption map from Visual Capitalist and the NIAAA — and what it reveals about:Why wine consumption is lowest in the Midwest and SouthHow D.C. became the nation's most wine-loving "state"The surprising disconnect between income, control states, and wine salesWhy tasting room visitation may be dropping in California — but rising in states like Michigan and VirginiaDon't miss our next episode, dropping on June 4.For the latest updates, follow us:Business of Drinks:YouTubeLinkedInInstagram @bizofdrinksErica Duecy, co-host: Erica Duecy is founder and co-host of Business of Drinks and one of the drinks industry's most accomplished digital and content strategists.

Building the Competition Slide Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. The startup pitch deck should contain a competition slide. Some founders start the pitch with, ‘we have no competition'. Avoid this, as investors will interpret this as if there is no market. The purpose of the competition slide is to show your competitive advantage. What do you have that others don't have? It's important to know your market and the players within it. It's also key to know what customers value -- price, performance, other? Here are the steps in building the competition slide: List out the direct competitors -- those who compete with you head-on. List out the indirect competitors -- other options the customer has, such as doing nothing. Show your market positioning -- where do you stand relative to others. Call out your differentiation -- how you are unique. Show potential competition that may arise. Show the product from the customer's point of view. If possible, define your competitive advantage with numbers. For example, our product reduces cost by 3X. Use these steps to build your competition slide. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.

Nick and Michael are back behind the mics diving into one of the biggest mistakes clinics make: putting all their eggs—and their patient acquisition—into one basket.From paid ads to word-of-mouth to grassroots outreach, they break down why true growth only happens when you build everywhere, not just online. It's part marketing strategy, part reality check, and 100% focused on helping your urgent care become the go-to clinic in your community.Get ready for practical tips, real-world examples, and a reminder that omnipresence (not just Google Ads) is the real secret to scaling.
What if making your product harder to access was the secret to increasing demand? That's the counterintuitive strategy sisters Olivia and Chloe Ferro bet on to catapult their startup SheMed to over 20,000 sign-ups in just a few months. As the UK's first female-focused GLP-1 program, SheMed entered a crowded weight-loss market—but instead of competing on convenience, they bet on credibility. By requiring mandatory blood tests before prescribing medication, they not only differentiated themselves but uncovered a staggering insight: 99% of applicants had undiagnosed health conditions. The payoff? A 3X surge in inbound leads, a 120% increase in patient sign-ups, and high-trust partnerships with major clinics—all fueled by a safety-first approach that turned medical rigor into a viral growth lever. If you've ever worried that implementing stricter client or customer qualifications might slow your sales, this case study is an excellent reminder that trust is your most powerful conversion strategy.

How Much Funding To Raise Based on Valuation Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. In planning the fundraiser, the amount of funding is a key factor to determine. The funding amount should take the company to the next major milestone. It should give the company 18 months of runway at a minimum. Investors expect the valuation to be around 3X to 4X that of the funds raised. Most investors want 20% to 25% of equity for each major round of funding. Therefore, the founder needs to see the valuation be at 3X to 4X the raise amount to account for the dilution. Each deal will vary based on the following factors: Growth rate of the sector -- some sectors are growing faster than others and can command a higher valuation. Location -- some regions offer higher valuations than others. Team -- strong teams with a great track record will command higher valuations than first-time teams. Traction -- those with stronger traction can command higher valuations. Use the 3 to 4x rule to set your valuation and fundraising goals. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.

Burn Multiple Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Burn rate is the amount of cash spent over and above the revenue received. It's typically calculated on a monthly basis. Burn multiple is a metric that calculates the capital efficiency of a startup. To calculate burn multiple divide the monthly burn rate by the net new ARR. It shows how much revenue your startup is generating vs dollars spent. The burn multiple shows the efficiency of the business unlike the CAC: LTV ratio which measures just sales and marketing. In most startups raising venture capital the burn multiple ranges from 1X to 3X. Anything below 1x is fantastic. From 1x to 2x is good 2x to 3x is a problem Over 3x is a major problem. Very early-stage companies may have a 3X burn rate because the revenue hasn't come up yet. At Series A many companies have a 2X multiple. At Series B the burn multiple should drop down to 1X or less. At break even, the burn rate multiple will drop to 0. Check the burn multiple of startups in your portfolio to see if they are tracking for their stage.

Alistair Gordon, CEO of Expertunity, is driven by a mission to empower technical experts to reach their full potential by mastering enterprise skills that elevate their impact. We learn about Alistair's journey into expert development and his creation of The Expert-ship Model, a framework that helps technical professionals move beyond subject-matter expertise to become influential leaders within their organizations. The model outlines nine core capabilities across three domains: Technical, Relationship, and Value—ranging from solving complex problems and transferring knowledge to collaborating across teams, engaging stakeholders, understanding the business, and leading change. --- Supercharge Your Experts with Alistair Gordon Good day, dear listeners, Steve Preda here with the Management Blueprint Podcast. And my guest today is Alistair Gordon, who is the CEO of Expertunity, a new global enterprise dedicated to helping technical experts everywhere reach their full potential. Alistair, welcome to the show. Thank you so much, Steve. Thank you for the invite. It's great to have you and learn about this opportunity for experts, how to get them to reach their full potential. So, let's start with your personal “Why,” your personal mission, and what are you doing to manifest it in your business? So, over many years, I've worked for lots and lots of organizations, Steve, in many roles as a leader and as a consultant to lots of businesses. And mostly my prominence, if you like, is leadership development. Sort of topics that your podcast covers, very relevant and very familiar to me. But along the way, sort of 10 years or so ago, we discovered this large group of people who weren't really being developed, technical experts most of your listeners will, I'm sure know one or other of these people, highly technical, they might be in finance, they might be in IT, whatever. And they're technically brilliant, but they're very stuck and frustrated, and not really fulfilling their potential and not necessarily having a fully fulfilling work life because they're technically brilliant, but they're missing some of what we call these enterprise skills that really help them add value at 2X, 3X to their organization. So having spotted the gap, we've done lots of research. We've worked with thousands and thousands of them now over the years and feel like we know them really well, Steve. And the most fulfilling part of this is that once you show a technical expert how they can be a better expert, they attack it with military precision and they really lean into it. And both themselves and their families and the organizations they work for get just extraordinary benefits from them really leaning in and making the difference they know they can make. And why do you think, Alistair, there is this gap? Is it not natural to not have the gap or is it the difference between the entrepreneur who develops a multifaceted approach to the expert who is more of in a silo and they just never got the chance to develop it. Why does that happen? Is this the corporate environment that takes care of it? I mean, it's absolutely the right question, Steve, from my perspective, because the answer is, as you might expect, multifaceted. So if we just look at it from the organizational perspective, most large organizations, even medium organizations, I know a lot of your listeners are, will have someone responsible for developing talent, but 281: Supercharge Your Experts with Alistair GordonShare on X They even have a model called the 9-Box Grid, which most large organizations use to establish who is high potential talent and they are the people who get spent lots of money on them developing their skills and what have you.

#714 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/714 Presented By: TroutRoutes, Grand Teton Fly Fishing, Four Wheel Campers Jeff Parks, Ontario fly guide and New Fly Fisher host, will break down tight line nymphing for steelhead. We'll discuss his setup and how he guides the fly to fish. Plus, he'll share his four most important tips for tight line nymphing for steelhead. You'll learn how to find fish in holding water and his views on fishing pressure. He actually likes pressure and will explain why his techniques work better with more people. Let's get into it with Jeff Parks from Calmwaters Fly Fishing. Show Notes with Jeff Parks on Tight Line Nymphing for Steelhead. When Jeff was 18, he found an old fly rod at his family's cottage on Puslinch Lake. He had no clue how it worked, but he tossed it off the dock anyway, and a big largemouth bass crushed his fly. And just like that, he was hooked. From there, he taught himself through books and trial and error. Years later, after a frustrating trip with a Colorado guide who wouldn't stop talking about himself, Jeff realized he could do a better job. That experience pushed him to start his own guiding business. Jeff focused his business on the corporate world, pitching fly fishing as a unique alternative to golf outings. Companies loved it because their clients learned something new instead of just another "forgettable" round of golf. https://www.youtube.com/live/vbBUAL4f15Y?si=W0pytH8YKt3msoaR The New Fly Fisher Jeff's journey with The New Fly Fisher started about five years ago. Mark Melynk contacted him about doing a show on Calmwaters Fly Fishing. He teamed up with Bill Spicer to film an episode on Small River Euro Nymphing. After the show, Jeff connected with Colin and did some technical work with the team. He remembers Colin fondly as an amazing person. Check out our episode with Colin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ttqo0zniczo Tight Line Nymphing Jeff uses a setup tailored for steelhead and fast-moving rivers for tight line nymphing. Here's the breakdown of the gear he uses: Rod - Jeff prefers using a 9-foot, 7-weight rod for tight line nymphing, like the TFO Axiom II-X. While many people go for longer rods, Jeff finds that a shorter rod helps bring fish in faster, especially in faster rivers. With steelhead and big fish, you need some serious pulling power, and the extra muscle in the butt section of his rod makes a big difference. Jeff says it's similar to fishing for smallmouth bass. Sometimes, even an 8-foot rod is easier to work with. Fly Line - The fly line is buried, and Jeff uses 12-pound Maxima Chameleon for about 30 to 34 feet, helping to get the fly line out of the way. Cider Tippet - Jeff uses 4 to 5 feet of cider tippet, with a 0X size, typically in 10-pound test. Tippet - Jeff finishes with about 2.5 feet of tippet, which he uses in 3X, 4X, or even 6-pound tests, depending on the situation. Split Shot - While some Euro nymphers avoid split shots, Jeff uses it to get the fly down quickly to steelhead. He says steelheads are focused on moving upstream and often aren't looking for bugs. Jeff uses a split shot to force-feed the fish to get the fly in their zone. How Do You Catch Steelhead in Fast Water? Jeff enjoys fishing in fast, shallow water, especially after other anglers have disturbed the fish. He explains that when steelheads get spooked out of a pool, they often head upriver into faster water. He teaches his customers to analyze the water and look for places where fish might stop, like a pocket or a small channel. Most of the time, the depth is around 3 feet. Jeff advises staying in one spot for about 15 to 20 minutes. Top Flies for Tight Line Nymphing Jeff shares his go-to nymph flies for steelhead tight-line nymphing. He likes using a few different colors and styles. Here's what works for him: A purple thread-wrapped size 14 caddis curved hook with a purple bead head and maybe a pink collar. A green caddis nymph. Larvae patterns with a purple head. Sometimes, he'll go for a gunmetal head to avoid any shine that could spook the fish. How to Fish Shallow Water Runs Jeff gets pretty close to the fish when fishing in shallow water, like a three-foot run. He'll stand about 5 to 6 feet from a boulder and start working the water above it. Jeff's main tip is to keep your line straight up and down because if the line isn't straight, your fly won't get to the bottom. He tells his students to think of the line like a hot wire cutting through butter. He also leads with the rod tip, pulling the fly slightly faster to keep it in the right spot. Tight Line Nymphing Steelhead vs. Trout Fishing Tight line nymphing for steelhead is a bit different from trout fishing. Jeff uses larger gear and often adds split shots to get the fly down deeper in the water. With brown trout, the water's usually smaller, and they tend to look up for bugs, so you don't need as much weight. The key to success is reading the water and finding boulders, as they are perfect spots for fish to hide. Jeff also recommends not slowing the fly down too much. Instead, use a downward mend to make the fly rip through the current, which can trigger even a lazy steelhead to bite. Tips for Tight Line Nymphing for Steelhead Read the water Get eight to nine out of 10 perfect drifts Set the hook on everything Add more split shots if you're not hitting the bottom Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/714
