Nima Jalali built SALT & STONE out of his apartment into a $100M+ brand, without ever pitching a single retailer. After an ACL injury redirected his path, he created something he desperately wanted but didn't exist, a high quality, clean deodorant, that actually performs. SALT & STONE has now become one of the fastest growing brands in the space to-date by doing things differently. Even right now, every 60 seconds a SALT & STONE deodorant is bought.  In this candid conversation Nima opens up about transitioning from a pro surfboarder into the Founder role, what it takes to build a killer team, and what keeps him going. He reveals the counter-intuitive strategy that got Sephora to come to him, and how he iterated his deodorant formula through 5 generations before calling it perfect. You'll Learn: Why going through 5+ product iterations beats launching "good enough"The digital excellence strategy that makes retailers chase you (not the other way around)How to build legacy brand positioning even as a one-person startupWhy getting a "no" from retailers too early can kill your momentumThe mindset shift from solo athlete to team builderThe key to building a digital identity that inspires & attracts customersCHAPTERS: 00:00 Introducing Nima Jalali, Founder & CEO of SALT & STONE3:00 Transitioning from Pro Snowboarder to Business Owner 4:55 The 5 Generations of Product Perfection6:45 How to Think Like Nike When You're a One-Man Show8:13 What Nima Did to Build a Brand Sephora NEEDS to Have10:09 Steps to Achieve Digital Excellence 12:39 SALT & STONE'S Philosophy on: Ingredient Sourcing, Product Development & Testing 19:06 How to Set Your Business Up to Grow Into a Legacy Brand From Day 1  22:07 The Retail Strategy That Never Fails 28:35 Tackling Global Expansion & Managing Expectations as a Founder   29:55 Single Most Impactful Thing NIma Did in The First 6 Months That Made SALT & STONE Successful  Subscribe and watch Shopify Masters on YouTube!Sign up for your FREE Shopify Trial here.

⭐️⭐️ Special thanks to our sponsor, Vanta AI. Get $1000 off at vanta.com/mydailybusiness  ⭐️⭐️What if creating a list of what you WON'T do could be more powerful than your goals for 2026? In this coaching episode, I'm diving deep into the concept of your "No List" - a boundary document that could save you time, energy, and money while helping you focus on what actually matters.We often identify who we are by understanding who we are not, and your No List works the same way. From saying no to coffee meetings during work hours to declining "pick your brain" requests unless people pay for your expertise, this episode will help you create clear boundaries that free you up for bigger opportunities.You'll discover:• Why boundaries don't limit you - they free you• Real examples of what might go on your No List (no more courses, no traveling for speaking gigs, no pretending to be someone you're not)• How to make your No List specific and actionable• Why saying no to the wrong things means saying yes to the right ones• The difference between successful people and really successful people (hint: it's about what they say no to)Perfect timing as we head into 2026. This isn't about being negative - it's about being intentional with your most precious resources: your time, energy, and attention. Sponsored by Vanta AI: vanta.com/mydailybusinessSign the Not a Date to Celebrate petition hereConnect with My Daily Business:Instagram: @mydailybusiness_TikTok: @mydailybusinessEmail: hello@mydailybusiness.comWebsite: mydailybusiness.comResources mentioned:Vanta AIAI Monthly Chat Group for Small Business OwnersHow to Get Your Book Published course Join our AI Chat Group for small business ownersMy Daily Business courses - mydailybusiness.com/courses Special thanks to our sponsor, Vanta AI.

In this episode we dig into the real reason women stay stuck when they want to start a business. It is not a lack of information. It is perfection. We talk about how perfection creates paralysis, how self trust is built through action, and why waiting to feel ready keeps your dreams on pause. You will learn why confidence comes from movement, not planning, and how to take the first courageous steps toward the business you have been thinking about for months or even years. If you want a mindset based approach to starting your business and you are tired of overthinking every decision, this episode will help you move through fear, lean into discomfort and take aligned action. You will walk away with clarity, motivation and a deeper understanding of what it truly takes to become the woman who finally trusts herself enough to begin. If you are ready to take brave steps and you want support from someone who has been where you are, connect with me on Instagram @julieoeder I can help you build the courage and self trust you need to bring your business to life.

What if your obedience to God is the missing piece to someone else's breakthrough?In this episode of Scriptures, Stories & Strategies, Niqueea dives deep into the truth that your Kingdom assignment is never just about you — it's about every person connected to your “yes.” Through the stories of Jonah's costly disobedience and Mary's world-changing obedience, we'll explore how God designed the Body of Christ to function as one, and how your business plays a vital part in that divine ecosystem.You'll learn why delayed obedience creates storms for others, how your calling unlocks blessings beyond your own life, and why stepping into your God-given assignment matters more than you think.Plus, we'll break down practical business applications to help you identify where your obedience can impact employees, clients, partners, and the Kingdom.This is your reminder: someone is waiting on your “yes.”And Heaven moves when you obey.

The best part of a failed business idea is that multiple people sign off on something that completely backfires and that's what Steed and Jrad are investigating in this week's Chubstep. First the guys discuss Jrad's quick trip to Las Vegas with a magician dealer, and why bald guys are more attractive because they have nothing to hide. For the main topic the guys start with the Pepsi Harrier jet marketing disaster, only weirdos using Google Glass, Netflix's dive back into DVD's, a juicer that no one could afford, a chip that caused anal leakage, toaster bacon and a phone that started on fire, a free flight promotion that took down Hoover UK, Space Jam 2 that no one asked for, the uncool Microsoft Zune, new Coke's loss of lifelong customers, and a Harley Davidson perfume.

Get Help With Your Personal Publishing Business, Build A Business, Podcast and/or Write A Book!I started this year planning to work out every day and missed the first four, but instead of spiraling, it reminded me that progress matters more than perfection. In this solo episode, I talk about setting goals in a way that actually feels good, letting go of the pressure to be perfect, and learning to trust your intuition. I share the story of Frank, also known as Virtual Grandad, who built a massive following not by trying to go viral but by consistently sharing his music from the heart.

Are you feeling stuck on your podcast idea or unsure how to weave faith into your business? Maybe you're trying to reach a more "secular" space, but from a Christian perspective.   In this episode, you'll get a front-row seat to a live coaching session with my student, Lisa—a former teacher who's ready to launch her podcast but feels unclear about her direction.

If you've ever wrestled with how to boldly show up in your calling without watering down your message, this conversation is for you. I pray this blesses you!   Ready to Make Consistent Income From a Podcast?  Join my 5-Day Profitable Podcast Bootcamp!
