Andrew Wynn, Co-Founder Ascend, the first modern insurance payments platform that provides automated all-in-one financing, collections, and payables. Ascend is funded by heavyweight investors FirstRound, FirstMark, Susa Ventures, South Park Commons and Box Group. Andrew and co-founder Praveen Chekuri previously built Sheltr. The company became the first acquisition made by insurtech unicorn Hippo because of its intuitive and technological approach to building an insurance product that went beyond the customer interaction. Prior to Sheltr, both Andrew and Praveen were employees at Instacart, leading the company's product and data integration team. Prior to that the two founders were at Instacart. Andrew and Praveen see insurance payments as a specific-enough problem yet general enough that it applies to a wide group, so they went about to solve it for everyone in the industry. Their product brings premiums management, commissions, reconciliations, online payment and premium finance a streamlined, all-in-one experience. Of high interest is how Ascend's teams are formed as being end-to-end across the whole customer journey for one vertical segment, whether insurtechs, producers, agents or carriers. As an outsider to the industry, Andrew sees more insurtechs coming from people in insurance in the future. He seeks experts from this "highly networked industry" to provide input, advice and counsel to help balance out the traditional venture focus on speed.

From humble beginnings in 2001 as a small fresh fruit home-delivery service, The Fruit Box Group is now Australia's leading, premium quality, workplace fruit and milk delivery company. After starting his career in commercial law, Martin made the leap to small business owner and ‘accidental entrepreneur', buying a suburban fruit delivery business advertised in the local paper. The Fruit Box business had 1.5 staff and serviced 280 homes in Melbourne's south-eastern suburbs. When a customer asked whether they would deliver to her office, it sparked an idea that changed the course of the business. Martin saw a market opportunity to move into corporate deliveries. The move was well-timed, with corporations increasing their focus on employee health and wellness strategies. By 2008, the business had grown to a national organisation servicing thousands of corporate customers with warehouses in every capital city and in 2009, The Fruit Box Group expanded its service offering to include milk. In early March 2020, The Fruit Box Group was making 35,000 deliveries per week of fruit, milk, bread and perishable consumables to 10,000 offices across Australia. Despite the challenges of both the pandemic and global financial crisis, The Fruit Box Group has continually proven to be a valued service provider for businesses.In 2017, recognising the lack of fresh produce in food relief, Martin established The One Box. The charity shares The Fruit Box Group's supply chain, procurement expertise and national infrastructure to drive an efficient fresh food relief program. The One Box program is now supporting over 1,500 families experiencing hardship across Australia with 60,000 boxes of fresh produce and staples. And we are well placed to grow even further in 2022 to 100,000 boxes supporting 2,500 families. It is also one of the only charities in the country that can consistently offer fresh, high-quality fruit and vegetables to those accessing the program. This innovative model is an example of how businesses (by utilising their own resources and infrastructure) can transform the charity sector for the better.The Fruit Box Group: www.thefruitboxgroup.com.auThe One Box: www.theonebox.org.auIf you'd like to find out more about working with Rich Everett as your coach, please visit www.everettcoaching.com

Today we have a guest who is building the infrastructure for a new asset class – sports cards.Leore Avidar is a visionary founder who is building a ground-breaking company, Alt, which is backed by Alexis Ohanian and Seven Seven Six, as well as First Round Capital, Addition, SV Angel, Box Group, and Kevin Durant's Thirty Five Ventures.Alt is on its way to changing how we think about investing. This was such a fun conversation. We talked about: How Leore's experience and excitement for building infrastructure has dovetailed with his passion and love for sports and collecting cards. How he's building the future of the sports card market with Alt by creating the tools and infrastructure enable people to value, trade, and store their investments How cards can be a tool to connect different generations through financial literacy. How culture can become a financial asset.  Alt is the culmination of his experiences working on Wall Street as a trader to working on the API economy at Amazon Web Services to making direct mail programmable at Lob. He's building the infrastructure - much like Coinbase has done in crypto - for the world of alternative investments and specifically trading cards. As we've seen the development of market structure in other asset classes like public equities, fixed income, crypto, etc, it will only be a matter of time before we have a similar evolution in the alternatives and collectibles spaces and Leore is right at the forefront of this curve. Card collecting and investing is on a tear - 2020 and early into 2021 saw sales of sports cards at public auction reach all-time highs. Leore has built out an incredible team and vision to build the platform at the epicenter of this market - and he's also built out a fund, Alt Fund, to invest into top cards.He's leveraging his deep background in the space, having invested in sports cards for 5 years and generated returns that best many hedge fund and VC managers over the same time period. And most of all, he's a company builder who combines the best of a visionary founder who sees markets before they develop with the ability to execute and ship product. He's also the founder and CEO of Lob, a highly successful Y Combinator-backed company.Today's podcast felt like we were peering into the future of what financial markets will look like. Thanks Leore for giving a glimpse of what's to come.I hope you enjoy.

David Tisch, Founder & Managing Partner, Box Group Key Takeaways, 1) Behind every great company are people, and it's our job to identify the best teams and try to convince them to let us work with them. 2) Friends give advice, parents tell people what to do. The best investors are friends, who prioritize Founder interest over their own. 3) The process of finding great companies never ends. You must commit to the focus of building concentric networks and diligently looking in places others aren't looking. 4) "`Don't ever short the future." It is hard to proactively identify the trends of the future, but showing up with a prepared mind before meeting Founders is the only way to be ready to fund and win the next big opportunity.

We are notorious as a society for falling in love with the next “fitness fad.” Whether its diet types, workout regimens or new fitness equipment, we’re suckers for “quick fix” schemes. It’s pretty rare that we come across a product that revolutionizes the way we workout — and in the age of connected hardware and software — we’re living through a paradigm shift that allows us to reimagine the fitness experience from first principles. This week, I got the chance to chat with Brynn Putnam, Founder and CEO of Mirror, a connected fitness system that streams live and on-demand classes to users in-home via a sleek responsive display. Mirror enables users to train with experts, work out with friends and get real-time personalization. The confidence from the venture community for Mirror runs deep — the company has raised $40M+ from leading investors, including Spark, First Round, and Box Group — and it’s easy to see why. The market is huge, the product is fantastic and Brynn is an incredibly thoughtful leader. I found many of her reflections insightful; specifically it was most interesting to hear her talk about: (1) running a combined hardware, software and content business, (2) thinking about the business as a “media company” vs. a “technology company” and (3) the pathway to evolve Mirror from a fitness business into “the defacto screen in your life.”  It was a pleasure to have Brynn on the show to get her thoughts on the future of connected home. This is going to be a fun company to follow.
