In this episode of Hustle Inspires Hustle, Alex Quin sits down with Greg Vetter, founder of Tessemae's, to discuss how a stolen bottle of his mom's homemade salad dressing sparked the creation of a national clean-food brand. Greg shares the realities of building a business from scratch, including cold-calling executives for insights, inventing clean manufacturing, and scaling Tessemae's to a $300–$500 million valuation—only to later face investor conflict and a complete collapse of the company. He opens up about writing his book Undressed, launching new ventures like Altaresh, Quenchers, and Tushies, and how staying grounded through family, routine, and faith helped him rebuild and support other entrepreneurs through his brand accelerator.Episode Outline:[00:00:04] Greg Vetter joins Alex Quin; summer recap and background[00:01:45] Exposure to wealth at college sparked entrepreneurial curiosity[00:04:22] Cold-calling executives to learn about success[00:05:29] Developing a sales system for tracking daily productivity[00:06:26] How a stolen bottle of dressing sparked a business idea[00:08:02] Early reactions from wife and mom to Tessemae's concept[00:09:00] First retail demo and 660 bottles sold in 5 days[00:11:35] What made Tessemae's different: clean ingredients and taste[00:12:55] Early marketing strategies: Facebook, in-store demos[00:14:12] Building a manufacturing plant from scratch[00:15:54] Business valued at $300M–$500M[00:17:27] Investor conflicts, legal battles, and business implosion[00:20:39] Launching the book Undressed after losing the company[00:23:20] Daily routines, mindset, and resilience as a dad and entrepreneur[00:26:33] New venture: Altaresh, and major partnerships with Sam's Club and Costco[00:28:59] Other businesses: Quenchers (vodka beverage), Tushies (portable toilets & wipes)[00:31:30] Brand accelerator and helping others scale their product companies[00:32:51] Legacy thoughts and personal branding symbolsWisdom Nuggets:Curiosity Fuels Success: Greg's success started with asking questions—first to wealthy teammates' parents, then to CEOs.

In this episode, I break down how to work smarter with the limited internal resources you may have -- even in a BigLaw firm -- where and how to create repeatable business development habits, how to leverage platforms outside your firm, and how to protect and invest in your own book of business when firm support simply isn't there.

In this segment, Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee welcome plastic surgeon, Dr. David Dellinger of Elysian Plastic Surgery in Austin. Today, they discuss the spectrum of resources available to patients who aren't happy with their body's appearance and/or function. Dr. Dellinger sees patients for everything from buried penis syndrome, gynecomastia, and reconstructive surgery to penile enlargement, liposuction, and botox. Buried penis occurs when excess fat around the penis causes it to retract into the body, resulting in both urinary and sexual dysfunction. Although bariatric surgery may help patients lose weight, the loose skin that remains can seriously impact a patient's self-esteem. Fortunately, Dr. Dellinger and Dr. Mistry often join forces to provide the highest quality plastic surgery fixes for these and other conditions affecting patients of all genders. Call Elysian Plastic Surgery at (512) 229-1978 or visit them online to schedule your consultation today!Voted top Men's Health Podcast, Sex Therapy Podcast, and Prostate Cancer Podcast by FeedSpot.Dr. Mistry is a board-certified urologist and has been treating patients in the Austin and Greater Williamson County area since he started his private practice, NAU Urology Specialists (now Urology Specialists of Austin), in 2007.

In this episode, Wayne Pollock (Founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service) walks through the five reasons why consistently producing thought leadership content helps you become a more appealing and sought-after presenter. 1. From a preliminary standpoint, it creates a platform to get noticed by event and conference organizers, which is how you get the opportunity to become a presenter in the first place. 2. It's how you build a following, which will likely mean more attendees for your presentations. 3. It forces you to regularly refine and polish your thoughts. 4. It lets you test your ideas and receive feedback on them. 5. It helps you more efficiently create the presentations you give during your speaking engagements, which allows you to spend more time working on how you present than on what you will present about.====+ Learn more about Wayne Pollock, the host of Legally Contented and the founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service: https://www.linkedin.com/in/waynepollock+ Learn more about the Law Firm Editorial Service:http://www.lawfirmeditorialservice.com+ Do you have any idea how much money your firm is losing when its lawyers write thought-leadership marketing and business development content themselves?Learn how much with the Law Firm Editorial Service's Thought Leadership Cost Calculator:http://www.WriteLessBillMore.com+ Do you want to elevate your thought leadership, distinguish yourself from your competitors, and never again be your target clients' second choice?

Jeffrey Mosher welcomes David Conn, VP of Business Development and Policy at Exceleron, Baltimore, MD. Jeffrey had several questions for David in their conversation: With Michigan facing significant rate hikes, (from the likes of DTE and Consumers), how can prepaid utility programs help consumers, and businesses better manage rising energy costs? From a utility's perspective, how does a prepay model improve cash flow and reduce delinquency-related expenses? What have you seen in other markets that demonstrates the long-term business value of offering prepay options? How can prepaid programs drive business-customer engagement and satisfaction while also promoting energy efficiency? What barriers—technical, regulatory, or cultural—must utilities overcome to successfully implement prepay solutions? Exceleron, a platform that works with utilities to provide customers with a prepay program to stay ahead and lower their energy bill costs. Michigan consumers are facing significant increases in their energy bills as DTE Energy and Consumers Energy have proposed rate hikes. DTE Energy has requested a $574.1 million increase, and Consumers Energy is seeking a $436 million increase. Consumers are becoming concerned about how this will impact the affordability of utilities. » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Subscribe to MBN's YouTube: www.youtube.com/@MichiganbusinessnetworkMBN » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/

For the first time ever, New York City Economic Development Corporation is staging a special Investor Summit in collaboration with AFIRE for international institutional capital that's focused on US property investing. With the summit in mind, AFIRE CEO Gunnar Branson sat down with chief operating officer of NYCEDC, Melissa Román Burch, for a pulse check on New York City's CRE environment. “New York City is an engine that is always thinking about growth,” says Burch. Currently, New York City Mayor Eric Adams has set a goal of creating 500,000 housing units over the next 10 years, with roughly 30,000 units expected to come from office-to-residential conversions. Meanwhile, two new trophy office skyscrapers have broken ground, totaling about 2 million square feet of new infrastructure. Looking ahead, the city projects 400,000 green-collar jobs by 2040, underscoring New York's commitment to both economic growth and sustainability. The conversation covers the key sectors driving momentum—office, housing, energy, and transportation—while also asking the bigger questions: Where are the opportunities hiding? How will office-to-residential conversions reshape neighborhoods? And what will New York look like in five years?
