From Sheepskin Boots to Billion-Dollar Success with Brian Smith DealQuest Community, I am so grateful to each of you for allowing the DealQuest Podcast to grow over the last few years. We've had so many incredible guests since day one, and we've learned a lot along the way. This is why I've chosen to remaster many of our older episodes into new life… And what better way to do that than with the story of Brian Smith, Founder of the internationally icon brand UGG®? Brian is so much more than his UGG® brand, however — he is the entrepreneurial success story. A SURFING DREAM INTO A REALITY While surfing in California, it struck Brian that there was a notable absence of easily accessible sheepskin boots in the United States. This led to his first deal with an Australian manufacturer, despite initial reluctance. Luck played a significant role in sealing this pivotal deal. His vision was to create a brand that every American would eventually embrace. With the manufacturer lined up, Brian and a friend realized they needed capital to buy 500 pairs of boots as samples. A fortunate encounter with a roommate's office colleagues resulted in a $20,000 investment, equivalent to about $70,000 today. This investment set the stage for UGG®'s initial business operations. LUCK DOESN'T MEAN EASY The road to success was far from smooth. In the early days, retailers in California were hesitant to embrace sheepskin boots. Despite having high hopes for sales, they encountered resistance. Brian highlights a valuable lesson: Everyone may show interest in your idea… until it's time to make a commitment. The initial capital they raised lasted a couple of years, but the company struggled to gain traction. When they ran out of money, Brian decided to bring in another investor, diluting their ownership from 50% to 25%. This infusion of cash allowed them to keep the business afloat. Brian's resilience shone through during these challenging times. He continued to work tirelessly, building the UGG brand one sale at a time. His ability to adapt, pivot, and find creative solutions was instrumental in his journey. AUTHENTICITY IN ENTREPRENEURSHIP Throughout his story, Brian emphasizes the importance of listening to one's inner wisdom and staying true to oneself, even when faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges. Here are key lessons for authenticity in entrepreneurship: * Different Objectives, Not Bad Intentions: In negotiations, diverse objectives reflect varying goals and perspectives, rather than indicating bad intentions. Recognizing this is crucial for trust-building in business relationships. * The Power of Customer Loyalty: Brian's customers' unwavering loyalty, even in the face of counterfeit products, highlights the importance of exceptional customer service and authentic connections. * Staying the Course Amid Challenges: Brian's persistence and belief in UGG® boots' potential kept him going through challenging moments, showcasing the resolve of authentic entrepreneurs. * Trusting Your Inner Wisdom: Brian relied on his inner wisdom, accessed through meditation, for pivotal decisions in his entrepreneurial journey. * Authenticity as a Guiding Principle: Authenticity isn't a buzzword for Brian; it's a guiding principle that shapes his product, brand, and relationships with partners and customers. Brian Smith's entrepreneurial journey is a testament to the transformative power of authenticity and trust. By staying true to his vision, trusting his inner wisdom, and forging genuine connections, he transformed a simple idea into a globally recognized brand. His story serves as an inspiration for aspiring entrepreneurs and a reminder that authenticity and trust are the cornerstones of long-lasting success in any business venture. Trust your inner wisdom, stay authentic, and let it guide you on your entrepreneurial journey.

Over the last 120 hours, a governance crisis the likes of which we may never see repeated happened at world-leading artificial intelligence company OpenAI, culminating in the firing (and rehiring!) of Sam Altman, with a tectonic shift in their governance in the space of a few days. In this episode we explore what led to this situation, how it could have been simulated ahead of time, and what you should do with your governance design if you're thinking of starting a world-changing technology company, to ensure maximal flexibility and make governance an asset and not a liability. Joining us for this episode are Dr. Michael Zargham, board member and PI at the Metagovernance Project, and Amber Case, entrepreneur, author, and founder of Superset, DAODAO, and other ventures. Both guests are principal investigators at the Metagovernance Project, a nonprofit foundation focused on building open-source tooling and protocols for a governance layer around the internet.

The incoming Government is expected to contend with a billion-dollar hole in its books created by the upcoming ETS auction.  The final auction of units under the Emissions Trading Scheme for 2023 isn't expected to clear on December 6. Most participants in the carbon market expect this auction to fail, on the grounds that a full year's worth of units will need to be sold. NZ Herald Wellington business editor Jenee Tibshraeny explains why this predicted failure will be good for the market. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Unfortunately, scaling is hard. As your business grows in size and scope, it also grows in complexity. The good news is that the scaling challenges your company is facing are not unique to your business. Adam Coffey believes you only need to master these three areas to successfully scale your business to a billion-dollar empire.1. PeopleWe all know that people are the most important asset in an organization. When you start scaling your business, you will need people - and, most importantly, the right people. The mistake most business leaders make is that they hire just because a position is open. To be successful, don't hire for the company you have today; hire for the skill you'll need for the company you'll have in 5 years. 2. Understand What Good Looks LikeYou can only scale a business if you understand what good looks like. Before you buy anything, know what good, average, and best looks like. Otherwise, you'll fall into the shiny objects syndrome, where everything looks good, and you overlook every flaw.3. Proper IntegrationYou have a system, you've hired the right people, and you have customers who love your product. Now, the next thing you should do is integrate everything into a fully functioning system. Proper integration connects people, cultures, and systems so entrepreneurs have everything they need to scale their businesses.Links and Resources:Adam's LinkedInAdam's website

In 2010, a $3.6billion fund was launched to stop oil drilling in the most biodiverse place on the planet: the Yasuni national park in Ecuador. The Yasuni covers 10,000 square kilometres of Amazon rainforest and is home to thousands of species of plants and animals but underneath the soil lies another important resource - 20% of Ecuador's oil reserves. It was feared that any drilling would cause pollution, deforestation and soil erosion so in a pioneering deal – known as the Yasuni ITT iniatitive - rich nations were asked to pay Ecuador not to remove the oil. Chief negotiator Yvonne A-Baki was put in charge of raising funds from around the globe but securing money was not an easy task, as she tells Jane Wilkinson.
