Where do I start with this one? Andrew Rincon is owner of CraigO's in Lakeway, currently one of the four independently owned locations in the Austin area. I was told of his heart and solid character and that we had to have him on the show! Our discussion reiterated what others had told me - heart of gold, this one. We discussed so much that is so valuable for fellow business owners to hear - Andrew is incredibly transparent.Not sure if you've seen the news (or experienced it first-hand), but Texas was hit with historic snowfall, ice, and sub-zero temperatures in mid February. For a state that essentially never sees such weather, most were ill-prepared. Hundreds of thousands were without power, others were without water - some were without both…for DAYS. We discuss how Andrew, his team, and friends stepped up to serve the community during this time.Discussion Highlights: The StartStarted in the restaurant business in 2006 at CraigO'sMade the move to owning an insurance agencySchool, west TexasThe restaurant business kept calling! The ShiftHe answered the call!Bought the CraigO's Lakeway location in 2018Over three years grew the business exponentially (we're talking consistent double-digit growth year over year)Successfully navigated a global pandemic and a snowstorm that shut down the cityThe StrategyImplemented out-of-the-box ideas to thrive in the face of COVID-19 restrictionsShifted a business model mid-pandemicDiscovered the foundation required to thrive in the midst of catastrophic challengesAdopted new tools such as PopmenuThe ActionSteps to streamline a franchise for increased efficiency and productivityImplemented best operational practices for a growing brand and businessThe tweak to their marketing strategy that changed everythingThe power of the email list The MindsetReally unplug when not at work.

My guests this week are not only inspiring, empowering business owners, but also my neighbors here in our Austin neighborhood! Amy Arnold and Jessica Stanley are the founders of Card My Yard. Chances are, if you've seen those fun letters in someone's yard celebrating an event, it was from Card My Yard. The two started the company in 2014, shifted to a franchise model and built their custom website in 2017, and saw exponential growth in 2020 in spite of a global pandemic.The company now has over 365 franchise owners with over 90% of those from female entrepreneurs. In 2020 alone, Card My Yard booked over 150K orders, almost 3k greetings per week company-wide. In the first nine months of 2020, average revenue per location increased to $52,831 - up from an average of $18,788 in 2019.To say this female-founded yet family-owned company is on a strong trajectory of success spurred on by a mission to serve is an understatement. In addition to supporting their franchise families and customers across the country, Card My Yard Cares (CMYC) is an extension of the brand that carries their mission even further of supporting those in need. Organizations such as Breast Cancer Research Foundation, Pop-Up Birthday, and Jail to Jobs are just some partners that CMYC has donated time and funds out of ongoing support.The StartMet at a Bible study, two moms wanting schedule flexibility and a way to contribute financially to their familiesCame up with Card My Yard as a way to celebrate kids and support their local communityCame up with logistics in their living room, bought their first lettersThe ShiftStarted adding additional locationsShifted to empower other business owners to go out and do what they did and provide for their familiesStepped back to look at how to move forward, transitioned all locations into franchise owners and it caught fire The StrategyDuring quarantine, many have been furloughed or laid off and have been able to use Card My Yard as more than what it was intended forOver 90% of Card My Yard franchisees are female entrepreneursAble to really bless their families and fill in those gaps where it's been neededThe ActionTook a leap of faith in hiring full time employeesHuge change for us in the business over the last year.Hiring infrastructure and hiring people has allowed true scaling in a sustainable wayTook counsel from advisors and other fellow business owners to be willing to share what they know about running a business.Been willing to take some risk, step out on faith The MindsetBy the end of 2021, plan is to have over 500 franchise locations across the countryTechnology - continue to reinvest in that and equip franchise owners with new toolsNew product rollouts beyond happy birthday/say anything signsKeeping it fresh and exciting for franchise owners and repeat customersSupport growth of franchise owners, hiring internally, create new resources, continue to improve infrastructure to support continued growth The Wrap-Up If you could listen to one music artist for the rest of your life, who would it be?George Strait Luke CombsWhere can people find you online?WebsiteFacebookInstagram

James Howard, partner and business lawyer in the Austin office of Naman, Howell, Smith, & Lee, talks about technology in the law, trying to make everyone happy, and understanding the audience for your resume.COVID-19 Update (as of 6/11/20)Slowly/cautiously trying to return to normal; certainly not 100%; he has been in the office for the past couple of weeks; wearing maskAbout 1/2 the lawyers are working from home with the other half coming in somePractice is better because of adjustments over the past few months; at the beginning the economic impact was unknown and clients were worried; walked them through practical impact of COVID (policies, etc.) to legislation (PPP, etc.)Clients are seeing that they aren't bankrupt, they do have revenue, so there are reasons to be optimisticResiliency of the businesses in Texas and in the community has been impressive; their ability to adjust to the new ways of doing business has been keyShould be well-prepared if something like this happens againRace and the legal professionLawyers often see a problem and want to solve it, but (white) lawyers especially need to do some self-evaluation and thinking before taking actionsNeed to make space for non-white lawyers to have a voice since our industry is mostly white; can't be co-opted and make it about white peopleLawyers are uniquely situated to work with city governments and representatives; natural leaders in the community and opportunities to advocate for policy changes; in fact there is a responsibility to do thatKey changes need to be made at the local level, and lawyers are well-positioned to help make that changeExample: criminal lawyers taking cases pro bono from protesters who get arrestedHis firm/practiceBusiness lawyer; firm has offices in Fort Worth, Austin, Waco, and San Antonio; full-service mid-size firmLegal tech is big as he represents clients in the telecommunications space; software-as-a-service (SaaS); etc. this has led to him evaluating how lawyers do business re: tech (OR NOT!)How can tech make my practice run more smoothly? (mentioned Squadcast (podcast recording tool) and Calendly (calendar tool) that we use to set up and record the podcast as neat tools)Advice to lawyers in practiceConsider the partner who assigned you work as your client; give them work like you would if it were the actual client; the goal is the partner takes the work, attaches it to an email to the client and hits send.won't happen immediately but should be the goalEasy to get too invested in what others think/do, but you can't make everyone happy all the timeDon't dwell on thisSometimes there are no more compromises and the answer has to be noBe willing to go into advocate mode and have the hard conversation with the other sideAdvice to lawyers when seeking a jobIf you are applying for a business job, you have to make sure your resume/cover letter is error-free; if not then it's a big problemWrite to your reader; a three-page resume with 500 bullets in eight-point font is not getting read by lawyersSay what you need to say in one pageDon't hide your education at the bottom or what you are currently doingPeople can be overly stiff in an interview, so try to be both professional and conversational; the interviewer wants to see if they can put you in front of a client and in social situationsDuring his OCI summer clerkship interview with Naman Howell, they asked him why he wanted to work in Waco, to which he said he didn't...that he wanted to work in Austin...that led to a rejection letter that he still has...wound up back at Naman Howell through a lateral process later onGood reminder to research the firm, see/know where they have opportunities both in office locations and practice areasFinal thoughtsPay attention to your mental healthLawyers tend to overwork, so find a way to unplugTLAP if you need itRapid fire questionsTrait/characteristic you most want to see in an associate: interestedKey habit: go one more stepFavorite app/tool: laptop dockFavorite social distancing activity: lots of bicycling (very Austin)Favorite legal movie: Runaway JuryThanks again to James Howard for coming on the show!
