Tune in for her compelling story that demonstrates determination, resilience, and the courage to pursue your dreams regardless of the challenges.This episode takes a sharp turn towards the critical issue of equipping women in the military. Basso, having been the only woman in the room numerous times, sheds light on the importance of providing female service members with the proper resources. She highlights the obstacles they face in the military, from ill-fitting equipment to inadequate training. The conversation hones in on the importance of injury prevention, female-specific gear, and the role of commanders in ensuring their service members are adequately equipped as per doctrine. Lastly, Basso, the proud owner of Kadri Clothing, touches on the impact of women's tactical gear. She discusses the challenges of designing tactical gear for women, the lack of competition in the women's tactical gear market, and the importance of proper clothing for comfort, confidence, and cognitive function.

Since then, Josh has grown CellARide from a simple idea to a high-growth company garnering national attention. Company growth was catalyzed by investment twice from Capital Innovators, a Top 10 technology accelerator, and sustained through many partnerships and contracts with Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Fiat Chrysler and the National Safety Council, among others. Josh graduated from Missouri State University Bachelor's Degree in Computer Information Systems. After graduation, he fulfilled a dream of his by becoming an officer with the Springfield Police Department. Following a distinguished tenure in law enforcement, Josh shifted his focus to entrepreneurship and created a software-as-a-service platform poised to disrupt the automotive marketing industry. This platform evolved into CellARide. Through CellARide's My Car Recall product, Josh's background in technology development and public service come together with the same goal of keeping people safe by increasing automotive recall completion rates. More than anything, Josh values time spent with his wife, Maria, and their two children. He takes pride in being a husband and father, making a point to strike a balance between the demands of running a company and raising a family.

Ever think about being an entrepreneur? Our guest started as a teenager and she has some simple advice – JUST DO IT…DON’T WAIT! Judy Sindecuse tells us you can’t become an entrepreneur by sitting around trying to think of a great idea to bring to market. Find something you are passionate about, fill a need, figure out how to make money at it and DO IT! That’s the advice of this multiple entrepreneur, mechanical engineer, Harvard law school grad and Founder/CEO of several companies including Bride and Groom Magazine, Oversees Colorworks and Printing and Redesign. Today, Judy is the CEO/Managing Partner of Capital Innovators which provides seed funding, investment opportunities, branding, talent attraction and more in the technology, consumer products, and energy-technology industries. www.capitalinnovators.com

Your next Shot Caller story is told by Judy Sindecuse, CEO of  Capital Innovators, a top rated venture capital and accelerator fund in St. Louis, Missouri. Judy founded Bride & Groom magazine out of necessity and created a very successful formula for investing in future businesses.  Today, Judy is a top quartile rated female venture capitalist who has raised over $300 million in venture funds.  Unfortunately, Judy is still the only female asset manager in St. Louis, Missouri. Judy’s first foray into entrepreneurship came on the heels of her experience as Missouri’s Miss Teen 1982 when she started expanding the Missouri Miss Teen into local/city franchises.               She was then recruited by the engineering Dean of SMU to join their mechanical engineering school. She credits him with being ahead of his time, recruiting young women to the program. Disappointingly, by graduation, there were only 2 women left in the program having initially a 50% boy/girl ratio. Judy went to Harvard Law School after graduating from SMU, with a view towards being a prosecutor. It was during her legal career she had her first career pivot and founded Bride and Groom Magazine.  Judy is a fantastic inspiration for any young or mature women who may have pursued a competitive career path only to find that it isn’t as fulfilling as they thought it would be. Judy talks about her love of math and hilariously tells us she is not the type of person to “blow off a penny” when balancing her checkbook! We discuss the importance of hearing that you can do “whatever you want” as a young girl. If you are told you can, you never stop to think you can’t! We both credit our mothers with instilling this seed in our impressionable, young minds.  She also tells a great story about how the smartest people she knows are never embarrassed to ask a question when they don't understand something. One of the challenges that Judy encounters as a top rated venture capitalist is getting more women involved on the investing side. It is a trend she really hopes to change. If you enjoy this podcast, reach out to Judy and tell her.  Please also share with as many friends, sisters, mothers, daughters as possible to inspire them to be audacious and pursue their dreams. https://shotcaller.co.uk/subscribe-to-updates/ ‎ https://www.linkedin.com/in/judy-sindecuse-74118a19/ https://capitalinnovators.com/ Capital Innovators provides investment during Series A financing rounds for high-growth companies.
