She wrote the book after feeling like there was no guidance or leadership for that season of her life. How do you handle careers and friendships and relationships?  She wanted a mentor for those life experiences. When she feels like she really need something and it doesn't exist, she asks herself: “How do I help create it for those who are coming up behind me?” 21:27 – What is Copper? When she published her book, she realized she loved the publishing industry but realized there wasn't a lot of technology or innovation going on in the industry. She wanted a way to build a base of readers without doing a dance on Instagram to get followers. 28:11 – Her dreams for Copper Within five years, she wants to build the LinkedIn of the book world. A major goal is to help underserved and underrepresented voices get discovered and amplified and find their audience.

Real Good Company is a show where we talk with real people building good companies that are making a real impact. We're so excited to welcome today's guest, Brett Hagler, the Co-founder and CEO of New Story, an innovative nonprofit that pioneers solutions to end global homelessness.Founded in 2015, New Story works to solve the problem behind homelessness through creative and innovative solutions to decrease the costs of homes. The organization got its start in Haiti and now works in El Salvador and Mexico. Since its inception, New Story has funded 2,300+ homes, built 30 communities and raised more than $25M.After college, Brett knew he wanted to be an entrepreneur as well as be a part of impact-oriented nonprofits. Right after college, at 22 years old, Brett started a for-profit, online ecommerce company. They partnered with two charities, Charity Water and Mission of Hope in Haiti, which is where he was first exposed to the issue of homelessness. After a trip to Haiti, Brett was moved to compassion to see the effects of poverty on families. When he couldn't find a nonprofit that was forward-thinking and moving forward with technology and innovation, Brett was inspired to start his own organization. New Story was launched to create a fresh perspective on the outdated model of charity. They focused on 3D printing as a form of innovative home design that could significantly decrease the cost of a house and the time to make it.In today's interview, Brett tells the story of how he and his team went through the famous startup accelerator, YCombinator. He shares how he and his New Story team have run the nonprofit as a business. He also offers advice on taking big risks and navigating the hard parts of launching a nonprofit.You can find out more about Brett and everything mentioned on today's show here.

They develop and design every piece either in Nashville or Los Angeles to make sure their products are made ethically and in line with their morals. Tribe Kelley gives back with every clothing line launch. In 2020, they worked with a nonprofit called Home Street Home, which serves the homeless community in Nashville. They were able to donate $50,000 from the launch of their butter sweatpants. Today, Brittney tells the story of how her business has succeeded through adversity.

Brant Menswar: On Finding Your Black Sheep Values

Real Good Company

Real Good Company is a show where we talk with real people building good companies that are making a real impact. We’re so excited to welcome today’s guest, Brant Menswar, a speaker, author, core values activist, and author of “Black Sheep.” The book was inspired by his son, Theo, who was diagnosed with a rare blood cancer at the age of 14. After 263 straight days in the hospital, the family was told to say their goodbyes. Unbeknownst to Brant, his brother posted a Youtube video pleading for help for Theo. The video went viral overnight, and doctors around the country reached out offering to help. They found a solution to an impossible situation, and Theo survived.After the jarring experience, Brant was motivated to live with more intention and to figure out his nonnegotiable values, aka his “Black Sheep Values” or the things that make him 100 percent, original, and unique. He went on a years-long journey of doing the work to figure out his “Flock of Five,” his nonnegotiable values that can be honored on a daily basis.Today, Brant’s values are clearly established and unchanging. His Flock of Five (plus an additional bonus value) include: hope, creativity, impact, empathy, family, and authenticity. Every decision he makes gets filtered through these six things. Previously, before finding his non-negotiables, Brant was speaking about 25 to 30 times a year. After he did the work to find his values and to live with intention, by July of 2019, Brant was speaking 70 times a year, his speaking fee tripled, and Washington Speakers’ Bureau named him one of the Top 10 Speakers in the country.On today’s podcast, we focus on values-driven leadership and how discovering our nonnegotiable values leads to success. Brant says that people who know their Black Sheep Values have a competitive edge in life versus those who don’t know their non-negotiables and are just winging it. Brant shares how to bring your values to work and how to create values-driven leadership and values-driven organizations. Without these “organizational Black Sheep Values,” a company’s success is based on pure luck or chance. He shares how connecting the head and the heart helps establish those values. Brant also explains how organizations have to be deliberate about how their values are going to be experienced and creating bridges between employees’ personal values and organizational values.You can find out more about Brant and everything mentioned on today’s show here.

She grew up in the United States in a small town in the Midwest. After 15 years of working in the workplace communications space for large corporations on three continents, she shifted to launch her own communications company that helps people improve their communications, creativity, and leadership skills.Lauren’s passion is to help people improve their communication skills and have the confidence and tools to communicate well, inspire others, and get their ideas across. She believes that learning the fundamentals of communication can change people’s lives. She also helps people learn creativity skills, which she defines as the things that make teams work well together and leaders more effective.Lauren’s journey to become a communications specialist started in her formative years as a curious kid. She loved to travel, meet new people, and learn about cultures. Her childhood dream was to move to sunny Los Angeles. At 20 years old, as a part of a university internship program, she moved to L.A. and was suddenly at NBC studios and on the Warner Brothers lot surrounded by celebrities. The following year, she moved to London to study abroad where her curiosity for diverse cultures and people was piqued. Her career first began in New Zealand where she learned to write speeches, internal communications, publications, and media management. There, she found a passion for communications. During the financial crisis, she moved back to London and while working at an investment bank there, she had an “Oprah ah-ha moment.” She realized her true passion was to help people communicate well and have the confidence to get their ideas across.On today’s podcast, Lauren shares the importance of communicating well, tips for communication in business, how to engage well on Zoom, how culture plays a role in how we communicate, and how storytelling aids in human connection. Lauren breaks down her effective communication strategy acronym “P.A.C.E.”: Purpose, Audience, Curiosity, and Empathy. Another acronym she stands by is to be an “A.C.E. communicator,” which is someone who is: Authentic, Clear, and Engaging. Lastly, she explains the pertinence of identifying the “why” or the purpose behind your communication and even shares her admiration for Taylor Swift's short, simple, and clear communication skills.You can find out more about Beth Collier and the communications advice mentioned on today’s show here.

We’re continuing with the launch of Season 2 of Real Good Company! We’re so excited to welcome today’s guest Raan Parton, Creative Director and Co-founder of Apolis. Raan started Apolis 15 years ago with his brother, Shea Parton, with the mission of connecting small, developing supply chains to larger markets.  He and his wife, Lindsay Parton, lead Alchemy Works and have recently launched FREE MARKET_, a retail chamber of commerce, alongside business partner Paolo Carini.The word “apolis” means “man of no country” and, for the Apolis business model, this word has expanded to mean global citizen. Jokingly dubbed “Carmen San Diego’s clothing company,” today Apolis makes essentially every product you can imagine—glassware, fragrance, shoes, bags, tailoring, technical outerwear from Poland, cashmere in Nepal, handwoven scarves in India/Burma border. Raan created Apolis with the notion of not just wanting to be a spectator of different cultures and places but to be a participant. This required a fair trade relationship with supply chains. His desire was to not just be a tourist but to actually affect how consumers interface with different cultures.As a leader in the business-for-good space, Raan talks about the greatest responsibility of selling products and to be a social enterprise that creates something that people want. A feel good product that people don’t actually want won’t solve anything. While a lot of businesses-for-good focus on the narrative, the focus actually needs to be on how to supply the demand. Social enterprise is able to change the trajectory of a supply chain when they are focused on items that have the exponential possibility of scaling.Raan shares about the journey of creating a product that stands the test of time while focusing on the integrity of how it is produced. He delves into how Apolis has created a sustainable business model by not trying to do everything and sticking to their guns. He also shares about the process of creating sustainability over a decade and the financial and emotional investment that it requires.Today’s podcast focuses on refining supply chain efficacy, the importance of integris for a true business-for-good, tips for how to keep a business alive for a decade, creating inventory that has efficiency in the consumer product business, and how to maintain work/life balance.You can find out more about Apolis and Raan mentioned on today’s show here.
