As Vibe New Mexico begins, the very first guest is no other than my beautiful amazing Amiga April Valencia AKA "LA LOCA LOLA- APRIL!" April shares her recovery journey. She is simply, April, real, honest and raw. She doesn't hold back. She speaks openly of her struggles and how every day she makes this choice to remain sober and thriving for success. Through the hardest and darkest moments April speaks about the influences through New Mexico music scene. The alcohol which is typically associated with the scene, and the celebrations. The darkest moments of losing friends and her total devotion to her mother who continues to be a pillar and foundational matriarch. I am so very exited for you all to hear this story. Every day individuals struggle with addiction and recovery. It takes the lack of judgmental "finger pointing" to see an addiction for what it is. April shares how the "system" was necessary in her situation to hold the accountability that was needed for her recovery and sobriety today.With the permission of one of the most prominent and prestigious New Mexico family bands, "The Blue Ventures," April requested that we spotlight no better song than, Ayudame.

In this episode, I chat with Ruth Haslett about embodiment practices for self-awareness and change. We talk about the power of tuning into your body, the benefits of embodiment in therapy, and cultivating a kinder relationship with yourself. Ruth works as a therapeutic coach supporting overwhelmed humans to shift from stressed and anxious to a calmer state, to live a happier and fulfilled life. By creating a safe space for clients to become deeply aware of well-worn habits and behavioural patterns, Ruth supports them in learning to consciously challenge their limiting thoughts, calmly balance their emotions, and tune in to the experience of being present in their body.

On Episode 30 of The Retail Pilot, Ken Pilot interviews Stephen Kuhl, Co-Founder and CEO of Burrow, a furniture design brand that's making it radically easier for people to feel at home through innovative, award winning, furniture and unparalleled customer experience. Launched in 2017, Burrow is one of the fastest growing furniture brands in the world and has raised venture capital from leading venture firms including New Enterprise Associates, Y Combinator, Parkway VC, and Red & Blue Ventures. Mr. Kuhl is an investor and advisor to several startups including Commerce Bear, Suite Plants, and Desk View. Prior to Burrow, Mr. Kuhl was a growth investor at Commonfund Capital and worked in Accenture's Global Strategy group, specializing in operating model design. Mr. Kuhl earned a B.S. with honors from Cornell University and an M.B.A. from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.1.    Inception of Burrow: Stephen Kuhl, the CEO and co-founder of Burrow, shared how the idea for the company originated during an entrepreneurship class at Wharton. The inspiration came from the success of mattress-in-a-box companies like Casper, and the vision was to apply a similar concept to furniture.2.    Revolutionizing Furniture Retail: Burrow's innovative approach involves modular, easy-to-ship furniture that can be assembled without the need for tools. This concept was developed strategically to optimize the supply chain for e-commerce, allowing for quick delivery and a wide range of customizable options.3.    Strategic Branding with Red Antler: Kuhl highlighted the importance of branding in communicating Burrow's value proposition. The company collaborated with Red Antler for naming, visual identity, and storytelling, which played a crucial role in establishing Burrow as a distinctive D2C furniture brand.4.    Business Growth and Model: Burrow has seen significant growth, with over 100 million in top-line sales. The company's primary focus is direct-to-consumer sales, with about 90% of their business conducted online. They also operate showrooms where customers can experience the products in person.5.    Competing with Established Brands: Burrow competes directly with well-known brands like West Elm and Crate and Barrel. The key differentiators for Burrow are the quality, durability, convenience, and speed of delivery they offer compared to their competitors in a similar price range.6.    Transition to Sole CEO: Stephen Kuhl discusses the transition from being co-CEO with Kabir to becoming the sole CEO of their company, Burrow. He explains that early on, they were co-CEOs, but Y Combinator advised against it, leading them to drop the title and become co-founders. Ultimately, they decided on their roles, with Stephen as the CEO and Kabir as the CTO.7.    Importance of Co-Founders: Kuhl emphasizes the significance of the co-founder role, stating that no matter the titles, they both remained co-founders, and the success of the company depended on both.8.    Tech Stack and SaaS Tools: Kuhl shares some details about their tech stack, mentioning that they use BigCommerce for their e-commerce site and NetSuite for ERP. He highlights the importance of leveraging technology throughout their business, including marketing technology, and the potential role of AI in future marketing.9.    Marketing Strategies: The discussion touches on the challenges of marketing, particularly in the post-iOS changes era. Kuhl talks about diversifying their marketing channels, adapting to platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Reels, and exploring content that resonates with their target audience.10.    Path to Profitability: Kuhl talks about Burrow's path to profitability, mentioning that they achieved profitability in the second half of 2020 but faced supply chain challenges, particularly soaring container costs. He mentions that they are now poised for profitability, with the expectation of a full year of profitability in the next year.
