From actress to tech CEO, Cooper Harris has forged a path unlike any other we've heard on the podcast. After her personal experience with online shopping led her to realize there had to be an easier way to purchase products with just a few clicks, she launched Klickly, a smart commerce engine that powers impulse payment online. Today, Cooper shares her story. We talk about how Klickly is destructing the ecommerce space, and she offers her best tips for fundraising. Cooper shares how her training as an actress prepared her to be a CEO, as well as how her trailblazing grandmother has been an influential presence in her life. She offers her best tips for raising capital and explains why doing market research is essential. She shares what she wishes she had done differently when she started fundraising, as well as her experience and knowledge with biohacking and how it has improved her life. “I wish that I had not insisted on doing everything myself by myself, frankly. It would have sped up the process and perhaps yielded less burnout in those early days.” - Cooper Harris This week on SocialFly's Entreprenista Podcast: The link between acting and being a CEOTips for raising capitalThe importance of market researchBiohackingWorking with family Connect with Cooper Cooper's InstagramCooper's TwitterKlickly Join the Entreprenista League!

Entrepreneurship isn't easy. For some, the idea is born out of technical aptitude. For others, it's about filling a market void. And for a rare few it's about disrupting a market. Tech entrepreneurs are predominately male, so what does that mean for women who have a great idea, product, or see a need in the market?In this episode, we dive into what entrepreneurs are missing in their approach and what female entrepreneurs need to succeed. Loralyn and Kyle discuss:How to successfully launch an ideaWhere to find other like-minded peopleStanding out in a crowdThe challenges of raising capitalThe importance of a like-minded support groupHow women are changing male-dominated space for the better.About Loralyn MearsEnabled with a PhD in molecular biology, Loralyn initially set out on a path to advance science and help humans by disabling mosquitoes in the fight against malaria. Along the way, she learned she preferred sharing information, guiding others and writing about her observations versus being at the bench. The career path as a scientist then a market researcher then a journalist is hardly a surprise: curiosity is at the core of all three and social entrepreneurism is a theme that continues to surface. Loralyn learned to conduct research to inform questions, find answers and solve problems. Crafting complex tech concepts into simple, digestible bits intended for a broad readership has been her focus for more than a decade, enabling me to ghost-write for countless clients to get their stories - and their brand stories - told, including authoring two books herself. One, a 2018 national Indie book gold medal winner, the other, a hard science thriller about the battle for humanity in the fight against COVID. Now, she's on a mission to solve the soft skills gap problem via my EdTech startup, STEERus, to enable the next generation of leaders with the know-how they need to find success at school, at work and in life.About Kyle HamerA sales and marketing veteran with a deep understanding of strategy, digital marketing execution, and using technology to enhance brand impact.

It’s pretty crazy to me how an asset that is up nearly 90% this year and has beaten EVERY OTHER ASSET ON THE PLANET for the past 10 YEARS still isn’t owned by most people.I actually convinced my own father to invest a significant portion of his retirement fund into Bitcoin this week as well. And I bought more myself. Why?*obviously this isn’t investment advice, consult an advisor, yadda yadda*1) I can’t get over the scarcity. 21 million of anything doesn’t seem like that much these days. The Government routinely prints TRILLIONS out of thin air. Presidential campaigns spend billions. Companies raise billions literally over night from venture capitalThe list goes on.But there will ONLY EVER be 21 million BITCOIN. That’s it. And it’s crazier than that when you really think about it.I always thought GOLD was the “gold standard”. Super scarce. Really hard to make. Can’t find more.Always going to be valuable. Yeah right.This was published literally a few days ago. They LITERALLY JUST FOUND THE LARGEST SUPPLY OF GOLD IN THE WORLD.Just found it. Poof. Out of thin air. And now gold isn’t as valuable as it once was. It’s like some guy just pulled more monopoly money out of the ground and added it to the game…Did I mention this doesn’t happen with Bitcoin? :)2) I can’t get over the DEMAND.So, I may not be the smartest guy in the world but I understand this about making money.Supply and demand. In order to charge a high price….You need a LIMITED supply + a LARGE DEMAND. Think Louis VuittonObviously, Bitcoin has the most limited supply of ANYTHING, so that’s great. But when I start hearing about the demand it starts to get ridiculous. First, it was Microstrategy (a BILLION dollar company TRADED ON THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE).Next, it was SQUARE (the $80 BILLION DOLLAR PAYMENT GIANT)Next, it was this little company called PAYPAL….Then it was this little company called FIDELITY…Oh and this little bank you may have heard of… JP MORGAN CHASE….3) Last reason. The smartest people in the WORLD are in.At this point you really need to ask yourself serious questions. A) Am I smarter than the CEO’s of Twitter, Square, Microstrategy, Paypal, JP Morgan Chase, Fidelity? B) Am I smarter than the legion of QUANTS (basically statisticians on STEROIDS) who have analyzed bitcoin and found it to be one of the most remarkable assets ever created?C) If I were to “go down the rabbit hole” and explore this more, would I find even more extremely smart people that I never knew existed? (I will answer this one for you, yes, you will. There are literal geniuses in this space). For example, I’ll point you to this thread on twitter, it might be a little complicated for some but it’s a very smart guy breaking down Bitcoin step by step. That’s all I’ve got for today folks. I know, I’m the “Amazon Guy”.And I do fully believe with all my heart that you NEED to start a BUSINESS to create REAL WEALTH before you can “Invest your way” to the freedom we all want…But if you’ve already started an Amazon business or business of some other kind and reaped the rewards…Bitcoin is an absolutely insane value proposition that I’ve personally never seen before and that, at this point, I feel irresponsible not telling you about. Take it for what it’s worth. Kale p.s. if you aren’t subscribed come on :) Help a brother out and get this letter 5x a week. Putting my heart and soul in here, I hope you can tell :) Get on the email list at thekaleletter.substack.com

After graduating college he taught elementary school for 10 years prior to starting his first business, a children’s furniture store which he built into a chain of five stores before selling. Next came a public school information business, The School Report, a business started with his wife Roseann that supported the real estate industry by supplying 3rd party public school information realtors could share with potential home buyers.

In this episode, I speak with Santiago Jaramillo, CEO and Co-Founder of Emplify, a tool used to give a single metric to understand the hearts and minds of their people, and how engaged they are at work. In the early stages, Emplify began as a tool within a suite of other tools, and during a time of great growth, there were many changes within the company. By utilizing their own service, they could see feedback that employee engagement had dropped over 50 percentile points. Once they received that feedback, they got specific insights on how to improve the engagement, and the score went back up. From that experience alone, the team at Emplify understood the importance of this service, and decided to go all in with it.Emplify currently has about 65 full time employees, and just raised $7.5 million at the end of 2018 which they plan to use to grow their service. The next level of growth that they see for their company is to determine the best way to distribute the data to mid-level managers, on a large scale. Currently, this data is mostly limited to C-Suite executives, which are not typically involved in employee engagement. Santiago also shares other growth strategies, as well as an explanation of the market overall, and how they differentiate themselves from their competitors.Topics In This Episode:History of the market and where it currently standsDifference between growth equity model and venture capitalThe categories of competitors they face, and how they are different from eachHow to interpret the data they obtain, and the next level steps they take to add value for their customers with that dataHow to hone in on your customer base and understand them, in order to best market your service to themGeo-centric targeting and the power of word of mouthOnline versus offline marketing strategiesTo get in touch with Santiago:Emplify.comTwitter: @santiagojaraBook: Agile Engagement: How to Drive Lasting Results by Cultivating a Flexible, Responsive, and Collaborative Culture
