Podcasts about co founder ceo

What happens when a founder decides to pull a product off 400 store shelves not because it failed, but because scaling the wrong economics is a fast track to killing a company. In this masterclass on CPG entrepreneurship, Omar Atia, Co-Founder & CEO of ZeroCarb LYFE, joins host Rose Hamilton, CEO of Compass Rose Ventures, to break down the mechanics of building a resilient, high-value enterprise.  Omar traces his evolution from corporate R&D to startup leadership, delivering a candid blueprint for navigating the hidden traps of rapid expansion, commercializing novel manufacturing processes, and making disciplined financial trade-offs. Key Takeaways & Business Frameworks: * Unit Economics Over Top-Line Growth: Why exiting 400 Sprouts locations was the smartest move for long-term enterprise value, proving that revenue without margin is just noise. * Bridging R&D and Commercial Scale: The operational reality of transforming a four-ingredient, kitchen-table innovation into a scalable, patented manufacturing system. * Positioning for Market Realities: How tracking customer behavior led ZeroCarb LYFE to pivot its core value proposition from "low-carb" to "highest protein-to-calorie ratio," proving why messaging must evolve alongside the market. * Omnichannel Strategy Demystified: A tactical breakdown of how to use direct-to-consumer for immediate feedback loops, food service for margin stability, and selective retail for broader reach. * Capitalizing on Structural Consumer Shifts: How to build product strategies around macro health shifts, including the rise of GLP-1 medications, by prioritizing high-protein, calorie-efficient nutrition. Whether you are scaling a CPG brand, refining your go-to-market strategy, or evaluating channel profitability, this interview serves as a practical guide to operational discipline and sustainable growth.

Welcome to episode 344 of Grow Your Law Firm, hosted by Ken Hardison. In this episode, Ken sits down with Julien Emery, Co-Founder & CEO of Superpanel. Julien explains how Superpanel uses AI to help plaintiff law firms improve intake, follow up with leads, and move prospective clients from first contact through signed retainers and initial evidence collection. The conversation focuses on the hidden leakage many firms have in their intake process, including missed calls, unanswered form submissions, inconsistent follow-up, and leads that never make it into the "wanted" category. Julien shares why firms need to measure total lead conversion, not just conversion from qualified leads, and how AI systems can help firms respond faster, create more consistent customer journeys, and allow team members to focus on the highest-value cases.   What you'll learn in this episode: 1. Why Intake Leakage Costs Firms Cases - Why many firms lose leads before those leads are ever classified as wanted cases - How missed calls, unanswered forms, and inconsistent follow-up reduce total conversion 2. What an AI Intake Teammate Can Handle - How AI can respond to inbound calls, web forms, texts, and emails - How automated workflows can move qualified prospects through retainers and initial evidence collection 3. Why Top-Line Conversion Matters More Than Wanted Conversion - Why a high conversion rate from wanted cases does not show the full intake picture - How firms can identify leads that are slipping through the cracks before qualification 4. How to Add AI Without Losing the Human Touch - Why firms should provide a clear option for clients who want to speak with a person - How automation can allow human intake teams to spend more time closing valuable cases 5. What to Evaluate Before Implementing AI Intake - Why firms need configurable workflows, data security, and human handoff options - How small-scale testing can help firms compare AI performance with current intake results         Resources:  Website: superpanel.io LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/emeryjulien         Additional Resources:  https://www.pilmma.org/the-mastermind-effect https://www.pilmma.org/resources https://www.pilmma.org/mastermind

It's statistically harder to get a job at OLIPOP than it is to go pro in the NBA. And after this conversation with CEO and Cofounder Ben Goodwin, you'll see why. OLIPOP is a prebiotic soda Ben formulated and built from the ground up. So how did he go from creating tasty soda products to building a culture that everyone wants to be a part of?  It all comes down to emotional intelligence.  You can have the best product in the world. But if you lack the emotional intelligence to connect with people and create a mission they want to be a part of, your bottom line will suffer.  This episode is for you if: You're an entrepreneur (or thinking about becoming one) You want to attract better talent You do any kind of product development work You want a few fun facts about soda to drop at parties Take your learning further.

Life Is a Game Lior Pozin built AutoDS into a company with more than 200 employees and over $20M ARR before its acquisition by Fiverr. Listening to him, it's hard to shake the feeling that AutoDS was never the destination. It was simply another level in the game. The kid who questioned everything Long before AutoDS, before SaaS, before startups, Lior was already looking at the world differently. His father locked his computer as punishment. He learned how to unlock it. He wanted to buy a phone online. He discovered the exact same phone was being resold for more money. So he sold it himself-without ever owning inventory. At 14, he wasn't asking what he was supposed to do. He was asking: "What's the game?" And then: "Let's just try." Gamifying life One sentence quietly explains almost every decision he makes. "I look at life as a game." It's not a motivational slogan. It's a framework. Games have rules. Rules can be learned. Sometimes they can even be bent. When eBay suspended his account, he didn't see failure. He saw another move - open another account. When people warned him something wouldn't work, he didn't hear a verdict. He heard another hypothesis to test. That mindset dramatically changes the emotional cost of entrepreneurship. Failure becomes feedback. Risk becomes calculated. And trying becomes more important than being right. The question that removes fear Throughout the conversation, Lior comes back to one exercise over and over. "What's the worst case?" Not as positive thinking. As practical thinking. What's the actual downside? Will I lose an account? Waste a year? Need another job? Once he answers that honestly, fear loses much of its power. Because most imagined catastrophes turn out to be survivable. That question became one of his most useful entrepreneurial tools. The investment that compounds the most One of the most interesting moments in the conversation has nothing to do with AutoDS. It's the way Lior treats personal development. Every week he protects time with almost religious discipline. Executive coach. Personal coach. Therapist. Reading. Meditation. Breathwork. Sports. Those hours are non-negotiable. His reasoning is remarkably simple: “If I elevate myself, the business will elevate too”. Many founders invest first in their company. Lior invests first in the founder running it. Building the founder like a product Lior recently created something unusual: A personal brand book. Not because he wants nicer colors or better social media posts. Because he believes founders deserve the same strategic clarity as companies. He wants every piece of content, every interview and eventually even his AI assistant to reflect the same person. Not an optimized version. The real one. What stays after this episode: Lior doesn't describe entrepreneurship as courage. He describes it as a way of looking at the world. A constant habit of questioning assumptions. Of asking "What's the worst that can happen?" Of refusing to believe that someone else gets to build the future simply because they started first. Maybe that's why "life is a game" resonates so strongly throughout the conversation. Not because games are easy. But because games are meant to be played. And the people who keep playing long enough eventually discover that most of the limits they believed in were rules they never had to accept in the first place.

EPISODE SUMMARY AND KEY TAKEAWAYSWhat does a 36-day water fast, a decade of rebuilding, and 60 years of change research have in common? They are all part of how Jaclyn Orent became one of the most uncommon leaders Bart has ever had on the show.Jaclyn is the co-founder and CEO of the Cultural Catalyst Network, the first infrastructure built for societal-level change, connecting leaders across organizations to create the kind of cultural shift none of them could pull off alone. She joins Bart live from Boulder, Colorado for a conversation that moves fast, goes deep, and does not stay in the comfort zone.They unpack the difference between leading from power and leading from force, why the leaders who have achieved the most are often the loneliest in the room, and what it actually takes to stop performing success and start becoming who you were built to be. Bart opens up about his own story, from panic attacks to a podcast in the top 2 to 5% globally, and Jaclyn reflects back what she hears in a way that reframes the whole journey.This episode is for the leaders who have done everything right and still feel like there is something left undiscovered.What You Will Walk Away WithPower vs. force is not just philosophy. It is a leadership system. The leaders who give to life produce results that grow over time. The leaders who take from life produce results that cost everyone around them. Jaclyn has spent seven years building a research-backed framework to help leaders move from one to the other.The loneliest leaders are often the most successful ones. When you reach a certain level, everyone around you needs something from you. Peers become rare. That isolation is not personal. It is structural. And it is a problem worth solving intentionally.Change happens through resonance, not information. Most organizations try to change culture by rolling out new strategies. But research from intentional change theory tells us that real change requires three things: shared vision, shared compassion, and shared energy. Without all three, the initiative stalls.Most people are comfortable. That is the whole problem. Jaclyn's fill-in-the-blank moment lands hard: most people do not take the level of risk required to find out who they really are. Even high achievers stop short of discovering the greatness still inside them.Transmutation is the real work. Bart shared his story of a botched surgery at 12, years of panic attacks, and the fear of losing control. Jaclyn named it clearly: he transmuted trauma into a platform for empowerment. That is not accidental. That is the work. And it is available to every leader willing to go there.It is easy to be. It is better to become. Bart's line, and it is the throughline of the whole conversation. Staying who you are is comfortable. Becoming who you are meant to be requires action, risk, and the willingness to keep launching off the bridge even when it does not make sense to anyone around you.Learn more about the Cultural Catalyst Network at culturalcatalystnetwork.com and connect with Jaclyn Orent on LinkedIn.

Can AI make a founder faster without making them better? I sat down with Jesse Lozano, Co-Founder & CEO of Intellectible, to talk about what sits underneath every company that survives the hype: judgment, resilience, sales, and the willingness to keep learning before the path is clear. Jesse has spent 17 years building startups. He sold his first website before he knew how to build it, turned repetitive work into automation before AI became mainstream, and later scaled pi-top from an apartment prototype into a business serving 92 countries. Now he is building Intellectible around a lesson that runs through his whole career: technology creates leverage only when the founder understands the work, the customer, and the problem deeply enough. This is not a technical AI conversation. It is a founder conversation about recognizing real opportunities, making calculated bets, choosing co-founders you trust, and growing into the leader your company needs next. One line stayed with me: you are not going to build a billion-dollar company just because somebody else used the same AI tool. AI can accelerate execution. It cannot do the believing, choosing, or enduring for you. What part of building a company do you think technology will never be able to replace?

What does it actually take to build a tech platform for preconstruction? Gareth McGlynn puts that question to Peter Alderson, Co-Founder and CEO of Province, who spent a decade building technology with his co-founder Ian before turning to construction, where Province is now doing very well in the multifamily space.Discussion Highlights:All About Province: The company Peter co-founded with Ian, and how it's doing very well in the multifamily space.Peter's Path: His inspiration for going into construction, then picking preconstruction.Building a Tech Platform in Preconstruction: The pitfalls and what it's actually like to build one.AI in Preconstruction: The wonderful world of AI and where it actually fits.New Product Release: Province has a new product and Peter shares it right on the episode.You can connect with Peter via his Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/peteralderson/You can also find Province at https://www.getprovince.com/ or reach Peter directly at peter@getprovince.com.

Marc Ferrentino, Co-Founder and CEO of Quotient and former chief technical architect at Salesforce, joins Sam Jacobs and Asad Zaman to separate AI-marketing hype from what actually works today. Marc's core claim: the 'AI CMO' is marketing fiction, and the real near-term unlock is clearing the roughly 70% of a marketer's day lost to busywork, so smaller teams can finally operate like big ones. Topics include the collapse of specialized marketing roles into cross-functional generalists, why the apprenticeship model that trained classic marketers is most at risk, where the durable edge moves as performance marketing gets automated... and how taste separates real work from AI slop. Plus, a Quiz Pro Quo trivia round on famous tech emails, an honest look at ageism facing marketers in their 40s and 50s, and a Bulls and Bears debate on legacy martech, HubSpot, and Figma. Key Takeaways: - Marc's near-term promise to marketers is not an AI CMO but the removal of busywork. As he puts it: "companies that come out and claim to be your AI CMO… I think that is the most misleading marketing, but it's also just not true." Buckle up for a story or two about how he's seen the "AI CMO" blow up in people's faces. - The hiring bar is shifting from raw craft to AI fluency. In Marc's words: "we're all looking for the 10x developer, but the 10x developer who knows how to use AI is a 100x developer. And so it's the same thing with the marketer… the marketer who knows how to use AI is a 100x marketer… That's the person we want on the team." And he shares how his own developer interviews changed to match. - Marketing roles are not disappearing, but the specialist ladder that trained seasoned marketers is eroding. As Sam Jacobs, CEO of Pavilion, put it: "I see the collapse of specialization within a particular function. That doesn't diminish the need for the function, but does create an opportunity for those that are more fluent in all of these cross-functional tools." His deeper worry is the pipeline: "the apprenticeship model is the thing that's most at risk," raising the prospect of "a lack of classically trained marketers." - Ageism is real in marketing hiring, and it often hides inside neutral-sounding language. Asad Zaman, CEO of STA, observed, clients are saying things like: "I'm looking for somebody with high energy. High energy is like, I need somebody who is 30 to 33… high energy is like an age, basically." To what extent do the hosts agree with this perspective? Only one way to find out...

She Co-Founded Hims and Hers. Now She's Coming for Your Morning Routine. Ramon Vela sits down with Hilary Coles, Co-Founder & CEO of POCA and Co-Founder of Hims & Hers, for a warm and revealing conversation about the lessons learned scaling a billion-dollar brand, the gap in the low-sugar coffee and matcha category, and the deeply personal conviction behind her newest venture. * The suit story that changed everything. At 22, living at her mom's house on $30,000 a year, Hilary's boss quietly sent her to a private shopper and bought her two suits. It wasn't about the clothes. It was about being told, without words, that she belonged in the room. That moment shaped how she leads and how she shows up for others to this day. * What Hims and Hers taught her that no business school could. Building a category-defining brand from zero gave Hilary a front-row seat to what it really takes to scale with speed while staying true to the consumer. She brought every lesson into POCA. * The gap nobody was filling. Hilary wanted a low-sugar, great-tasting coffee and matcha option that didn't taste like a compromise. When she couldn't find one, she built it. POCA uses allulose and monk fruit for sweetness, adds a boost of fiber, and comes in flavors like vanilla, caramel, and pistachio. * Ritual is the product. POCA is not just a beverage. It is designed to become the warm cup of something special that anchors your morning and your day. Hilary talks about building a brand that people reach for not because they have to, but because they genuinely want to. * Watch closely toward summer and fall. New flavors and innovations are on the way as POCA continues to clean up the coffee and matcha aisle. Right now they are available at pickpoca.com and TikTok Shop. Join us in listening to this episode for a genuinely inspiring conversation about building with intention, leading with belief in others, and finding the white space hiding in a category everyone else overlooked.  Whether you are a founder, a wellness-minded consumer, or someone who just wants something sweet without the sugar crash, this one has something for you.    Visit: https://pickpoca.com/ If you enjoyed this episode, please leave The Story of a Brand Show a rating and review.  Plus, don't forget to follow us on Apple and Spotify.  Your support helps us bring you more content like this! * Today's Sponsors: Saral - The Influencer OS: https://www.getsaral.com/demo SARAL is the all-in-one influencer platform that finds brand-aligned creators, automates outreach, and manages everything in one place.

SHOW NOTES: What if your charitable dollars could come back to you — and you could send them right back out into the world to do even more good? That's the elegant premise behind Renewables.org, the first nonprofit that lets everyday people fund solar projects across India and the Global South for as little as $25, with monthly repayments over five years. Host Dr. Laura Scherck Wittcoff sits down with co-founder and CEO Lassor Feasley to explore how a background in product design, a failed for-profit startup, and a connection with Kiva.org co-founder Premal Shah led to one of the most innovative climate finance models in the nonprofit world. Guest Lassor Feasley, Co-Founder & CEO, Renewables.org Lassor is a product designer and entrepreneur trained at the School of Visual Arts Product Design program. He leads product, brand, and strategy at Renewables.org, channeling philanthropic capital into high-performing solar installations that expand energy access while reducing carbon emissions. What is Renewables.org? Renewables.org is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and Global South solar crowdfunding platform. Here is how it works: You purchase a solar panel for as little as $25 Your funds are deployed into solar projects across the Global South You receive monthly repayments over five years You can reinvest those repayments into new solar projects or withdraw your funds Every panel is tracked on a personal rooftop dashboard where you can monitor repayments and your real-world impact Over 95% of repaid funds are reinvested back into Global South solar. Key Topics Covered Why the Global South? Solar costs approximately one-third as much to build in the Global South compared to the US or Europe Each kilowatt-hour fed onto the grid avoids 2 to 3 times more carbon because those grids run heavily on coal and diesel Projects receive, on average, 20% more sunshine per year The result: Renewables.org estimates 550% more carbon impact per dollar compared to investing in US solar — a figure Lassor believes is actually conservative The financial model Renewables.org operates on a 0% interest loan model, similar to Kiva. Investors are made whole but do not earn a financial return. This structure avoids securities regulations while keeping the model sustainable. The spread between what Renewables.org borrows from investors at 0% and what it charges solar developers funds the organization's operating costs — meaning they do not plan ever to solicit donations for salaries or administration. The donor option Investors can also choose to make a tax-deductible donation into the fund. Donors receive the same dashboard experience and see their funds being repaid and redeployed, but the withdrawal option is removed. Renewables.org also accepts contributions from donor-advised funds, IRA minimum distributions, and offers employer matching compatibility. Design as a competitive advantage Lassor's background in product and UX design shaped every aspect of Renewables.org — from the financial model itself to the user interface and dashboard experience. He draws a parallel to how Instagram was built by tapping into a latent behavior Facebook users were already exhibiting, and applies the same thinking to the satisfaction people get from tracking their solar productivity. What's next Renewables.org is preparing a major software platform redesign, enabled in part by new AI coding tools. Upcoming features include the ability for climate influencers and fundraisers to open personal crowdfunding pages to rally their own communities around Global South solar. The long-term vision is to reach Kiva-scale — tens or hundreds of millions of dollars raised annually — and catalyze solar development across the Global South.

Daniel Oliver, Co-Founder and CEO of Rejuvenate Bio, believes it's possible and is already making it a reality. Rejuvenate Bio has developed a breakthrough approach, beginning with pets, to address multiple chronic diseases with one therapy.“We actually have taken the wealth of aging science that's out there,” Daniel explained, “and have been able to turn them into one-time therapies. Effectively, we're able to inject a patient—whether it's a dog, a cat, or a human—and the data suggests we can treat multiple different diseases.”Daniel shared his excitement about testing these therapies on animals, highlighting initial successes with several high-profile pharmaceutical companies, including Merck's animal health division, which has also invested in the company. Early results show these treatments not only improve health outcomes but also have the potential to be safe, accessible, and affordable.Unlike traditional gene therapies for humans, which can cost millions, Rejuvenate Bio's approach for animals carries a dramatically lower price tag. “We've reduced the manufacturing costs to the point where we can treat chronic, lifetime diseases at around $100 per dose,” Daniel said. This affordability has broad implications for human treatments too, ensuring accessibility beyond just the wealthy elite.Beyond the practical applications, the mission of Rejuvenate Bio is deeply human. Chronic diseases, Daniel noted, account for enormous healthcare costs and significant suffering. He envisions a future where people and pets alike can experience more healthy years together. “What if,” he posed, “instead of a laundry list of side effects, new treatments came with a list of novel benefits?”Rejuvenate Bio is currently hosting an equity crowdfunding campaign on Wefunder, inviting anyone to invest and be part of their journey. This move aligns with Daniel's vision of building a community of supporters who share the mission. “We want folks to come in, become evangelists for our technology, and grow with us,” he said.tl;dr:Daniel Oliver discusses Rejuvenate Bio's one-time treatments for pets to extend healthy lives.The therapies have shown promise for treating chronic diseases in animals and potentially humans.Daniel shares Rejuvenate Bio's affordability strategy: manufacturing doses for as low as $100.Rejuvenate Bio's recent partnerships with Merck and a live Wefunder campaign expand their impact.Daniel explains how curiosity and humility fuel his leadership at Rejuvenate Bio, emphasizing collaboration.Daniel's company offers exciting hope—not just for the families whose pets will lead healthier lives, but for society as it considers how this innovation could reshape human healthcare.How to Develop Curiosity and Humility As a SuperpowerDaniel attributes his success to a combination of curiosity and humility. “When you're doing these types of startup companies, you're never going to come to the table with all the skills and experiences you need,” Daniel said. His curiosity drives him to seek knowledge and advice, while his humility allows him to admit there is always more to learn. By embracing these values, Daniel has built an adaptable, reflective leadership style that encourages innovation and resilience.Daniel's humility and curiosity were tested during his time at Caltech, where the demanding academics overwhelmed him. He learned to collaborate with peers and seek help from teaching assistants to overcome challenges. “The homework problems were not something I could accomplish alone,” he admitted, emphasizing how teamwork and the willingness to learn built his resilience.

In this episode of In Depth, Brett sits down with Paul Copplestone, co-founder and CEO of Supabase, the open-source Postgres platform now serving more than seven million developers. Before Supabase, Paul launched a Thumbtack-style marketplace in Southeast Asia and co-founded an office-management startup called Nimbus, experiences that taught him to separate fundraising from building and to find product-market fit before blitzscaling. He breaks down how a single tagline change for Supabase unlocked product-market fit, why he runs a fully distributed async team with near-zero attrition, and how he turned PLG signals into a product-led sales motion comped only on incremental uplift. In today's episode, we discuss: How changing one tagline helped Supabase go to #1 in Hacker News - an early sign of product market fit Why Paul ran Supabase like it had only $100K in the bank despite raising real money How Supabase rode three distinct AI waves, from pgvector to Bolt and Lovable, to Claude Code Why Supabase built a sales team comped only on the incremental uplift over a control group What the Toyota production system's "kaizen" taught Paul about unblocking a scaling team References: Ant Wilson: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ant-wilson-46179937 Bolt: https://bolt.new/ Claude Code: https://www.anthropic.com/claude-code Codex: https://openai.com/codex/ Entrepreneurs First: https://www.joinef.com/ Firebase: https://firebase.google.com/ Lovable: https://lovable.dev/ MongoDB: https://www.mongodb.com/ Next.js: https://nextjs.org/ PostgreSQL: https://www.postgresql.org/ Supabase: https://supabase.com/ Thumbtack: https://www.thumbtack.com/ Y Combinator: https://www.ycombinator.com/ Where to find Paul: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulcopplestone Twitter/X: https://x.com/kiwicopple Where to find Brett: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brett-berson-9986094/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/brettberson Where to find First Round Capital: Website: https://firstround.com/ First Round Review: https://review.firstround.com/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/firstround YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FirstRoundCapital This podcast on all platforms: https://review.firstround.com/podcast Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction 01:32 Why Paul's earlier startups were never destined to be huge 07:14 Unlearning the "tall poppy" mindset and going all-in on async 09:54 Reverse-engineering why Supabase was an outstanding idea 12:04 The accidental Hacker News launch and tagline lesson 13:58 Where the early roadmap came from: demand vs. technical taste 17:28 Skill vs. luck, and operating like you have $100K in the bank 21:42 What actually makes a great developer experience 23:10 Solving the "graduation problem" Firebase never could 24:58 The role of open source in Supabase's success 26:10 The three distinct AI tailwinds: From pgvector to Claude Code 35:24 Supabase's egoless, hyper-competitive open-source culture 42:58 A tactical playbook for raising capital 48:37 Product-led sales comped on incremental uplift only 59:27 The production philosophy behind Supabase's operations

Most jam brands are built on sugar. Good Good built a business by taking it out. In this episode, Good Good founder and CEO Gardar Stefansson discusses how the Icelandic brand evolved from a struggling stevia startup into a rapidly growing platform of no-added-sugar spreads now sold in approximately 10,000 U.S. stores and 30 countries worldwide.  He shares lessons from scaling across major retailers, navigating pricing and promotions, developing products consumers love, and building a premium brand in an increasingly competitive category. Gardar also explains why packaging is a company's most powerful marketing asset and why getting consumers to try your product remains the key to driving repeat purchases and long-term growth. Show notes: 0:20: Gardar Stefansson, Co-Founder & CEO, Good Good – Gardar discusses the origins of Good Good, which launched in 2016 as a stevia sweetener company before pivoting to a no-added-sugar jam recipe that ultimately became the foundation of the business. He explains how "No Added Sugar" evolved into the brand's core message and describes Good Good's growth strategy as it expanded across retail channels including Whole Foods, Costco, Walmart, and Amazon. Gardar emphasizes the importance of leveraging syndicated retail data, in-store merchandising, promotions, and digital marketing to build awareness and drive trial. He argues that packaging and messaging are a brand's most effective marketing tools, noting that shelf presence is its most valuable real estate. He also discusses Good Good's disciplined approach to innovation, explaining how the company balances consumer demand, retailer expectations, and product quality when developing new products, including peanut butter and chocolate spreads. Throughout the conversation, Gardar highlights a relentless focus on getting consumers to try the product – through sampling, events, and grassroots marketing initiatives – as a key driver of the brand's success.

Most people get their hormone levels tested once a year — if they think about it at all. Marina Pavlovic Rivas, Co-Founder & CEO of Eli Health, is on a mission to change that.  Ramon Vela sits down with Marina for a fascinating conversation about the technology she spent nearly seven years building: a saliva-based, at-home hormone monitoring platform that delivers cortisol, testosterone, and progesterone results to your phone in minutes, giving people real-time visibility into one of the most overlooked dimensions of their health. * The gap nobody was solving. After searching online for a way to track her own hormonal data, Marina realized the product didn't exist. So she built it, spending more than six years on R&D, regulatory approval, and venture capital before bringing it to market. * Hormones affect everything, not just fertility. From energy and mood to sleep, libido, bone health, cardiac health, and cognitive performance, Marina breaks down why hormonal data is one of the most important and most underused signals in personal wellness. * The wearable parallel that puts it all in context. Checking your hormones once a year is like measuring your heartbeat once a year: technically useful, but dangerously incomplete. Eli Health gives users the same continuous feedback loop that smartwatches brought to sleep and heart rate. * A six-second saliva test. Results in 20 minutes. Users collect saliva, wait 20 minutes, then photograph the test to receive results directly in the app. Repeat over time and you build a hormonal picture that no annual blood draw could ever provide. * Cortisol first, for good reason. Eli launched with cortisol because it sits at the top of the hormonal cascade. When cortisol is off, everything else follows. Testosterone and progesterone, including their interactions, are coming next. Join us in listening to this episode for a genuinely eye-opening conversation about hormonal health, the future of at-home diagnostics, and what it means to build a category that didn't exist before you created it.  Whether you're a health-conscious consumer, a founder, or someone who just wants to understand what their body is actually telling them, this one is for you.  Visit: https://eli.health/ Try their Instant Cortisol Test: https://eli.health/products/cortisol?view=sl-44128C61 If you enjoyed this episode, please leave The Story of a Brand Show a rating and review.  Plus, don't forget to follow us on Apple and Spotify.  Your support helps us bring you more content like this! * Today's Sponsors: Saral - The Influencer OS: https://www.getsaral.com/demo SARAL is the all-in-one influencer platform that finds brand-aligned creators, automates outreach, and manages everything in one place.

Once operational, she helped scale the business day-to-day, and it was during this period that the idea for Beer Girl was born—combining her background in storytelling, brand building, and inclusive culture with a modern, better-for-you approach to beer.IG drinkbeergirl | drinkbeergirl.comFind Me:IG + TikTok citrusdiaries.studiocitrusdiaries.com | hello@citrusdiaries.comCreate your ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ today! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠#madeonzencastr

Yet, as powerful as AI has become, it requires quality data to work effectively, and for cities, much of that necessary data simply doesn't exist—or, when it does, it sacrifices privacy to obtain it. This is where Surge, co-founded by Miguel Jaramillo, is making a difference.“Our system is privacy-first by design,” Miguel explained during today's episode. “We measure patterns, not people.” Unlike traditional solutions that rely on invasive technologies like cameras, facial recognition, or license plate tracking, Surge's cutting-edge sensing and edge computing platforms collect anonymized, real-time data to improve urban infrastructure while protecting individual privacy.Surge is already making a tangible impact. Their first deployment is underway in New Orleans, where they aim to envelope the French Quarter with their data platform. Miguel highlighted the significance of their real-time data, noting that cities and stakeholders ranging from departments of transportation to companies in the autonomous vehicle space stand to benefit. “We deliver a real-time, anonymized data stream...not only cities need this, but enterprises and intelligence systems, too,” he said.One of the most exciting aspects of Surge's work is its potential to revolutionize urban traffic management. Using their platform, cities can optimize traffic flow, reduce congestion, and even cut carbon emissions by keeping vehicles moving instead of idling in jams. The company's privacy-first design builds trust while offering solutions that deliver real benefits to urban communities.Surge represents both a technological and ethical shift in how cities use data. By keeping their focus on patterns rather than people, Miguel and his team are demonstrating how innovation can provide both security and respect for privacy. They're forging a path toward smarter, more efficient cities.Miguel and his team are also inviting everyone to be a part of their journey. Surge is raising capital through a Wefunder campaign, allowing everyday investors to own a piece of the company at its early stages. He shared with me how passionately he believes in democratizing access to investments in impactful companies like his.Visit Surge's Wefunder page to learn more or, as Miguel noted, join their community of supporters. “We want everyday citizens to have an opportunity to own a piece of something meaningful.”tl;dr:Miguel Jaramillo's Surge is revolutionizing urban infrastructure with privacy-first data to improve traffic and safety.Surge's technology avoids surveillance by collecting anonymized, real-time patterns instead of personal information.Their first deployment in New Orleans promises to optimize traffic flow and benefit autonomous systems.Miguel highlights resiliency as his superpower, driven by an unwavering belief in Surge's mission.Surge is raising capital via Wefunder, inviting everyday investors to join their game-changing vision.How to Develop Resiliency As a SuperpowerMiguel identifies resiliency as his superpower, emphasizing that it's not about being tough all the time but rather staying committed to a goal, even when faced with obstacles. “For me,” he said, “resiliency is about being able to stay committed to something I truly believe in, even when there are reasons to doubt it.” This steadfast persistence has been vital in navigating the uncertainties and challenges of developing Surge.Miguel shared an anecdote from Surge's early days when capital was tight and partnerships weren't materializing as expected. On paper, the business model made sense, but in practice, progress was slower than anticipated. He described waking up early and staying up late, feeling a constant sense of friction. Despite these challenges, Miguel's unwavering belief in the value of Surge's mission kept him moving forward. That determination enabled Surge to reach key deployment milestones and attract early investors.Tips for Developing Resiliency:Stay Anchored to Your Beliefs: Identify what you truly value and remind yourself of it during difficult moments.Avoid Emotional Decisions: Don't make permanent choices based on temporary feelings or setbacks—give ideas time to evolve.Accept the Process: Understand that challenges and delays are natural parts of building something new.Focus on Long-Term Impact: Keep your eyes on the bigger purpose behind your work to remain motivated.By following Miguel's example and advice, you can make resiliency a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileMiguel Jaramillo (he/him):Co-Founder & CEO, Surge Holdings Inc. (”Surge”)About Surge Holdings Inc. (”Surge”): Surge builds the infrastructure that helps cities run better and gives AI systems the real-world data they need, without tracking people. As AI moves into the physical world like streets, traffic, and logistics, it needs a constant stream of real-time information, and that layer does not exist today. We install small, non-camera sensors on light poles and rooftops to capture how cities actually operate, turning movement and activity into simple, usable data. Cities use it to improve safety and traffic, and companies use it to power smarter systems. It is a shared network where every location makes the system more valuable, creating a new foundation for how AI works in the real world.Website: surgenetworks.aiOther URL: wefunder.com/surgenetworksBiographical Information: Miguel Jaramillo is Co-Founder and CEO of Surge Holdings Inc., a Public Benefit Corporation building real-time, privacy-first data infrastructure for the next generation of cities, enterprises, and intelligent systems. Recognizing the growing gap between AI and access to continuous real-world data, Miguel is leading Surge's mission to create a shared, scalable infrastructure layer that captures and processes live, anonymized data at the edge, enabling safer, more efficient, and responsive environments. By integrating with and enhancing existing systems, Surge unlocks new value across the built world while reducing fragmentation and aligning public and private sector needs. With over 20 years of experience in infrastructure, transportation, and public-private partnerships, Miguel has a track record of deploying complex, real-world systems and now focuses on scaling Surge by aligning cities, capital, and technology. Surge is defining a new category of infrastructure, delivering both financial returns and measurable public benefit at the foundation of a more connected and intelligent world.LinkedIn Profile: linkedin.com/in/miguel-jaramillo-640b0090Support Our SponsorsOur generous sponsors make our work possible, serving impact investors, social entrepreneurs, community builders and diverse founders.

On this episode, I sit down with Sam Atkinson, co-founder of Swap, to get into one of the more interesting infrastructure stories in commerce right now. How do you build the back office that nobody wants to think about, and use it as the foundation for something that changes how people shop entirely?Sam played semi-professional football for West Brom until 18, studied law, worked at McKinsey, ran his own DTC business, and joined a fintech before co-founding Swap in 2023. The through line is someone who kept getting close enough to the hard problems in e-commerce to eventually decide to go and solve them.We get into what Swap actually is, the back office suite covering cross-border, returns, tax, compliance and demand planning, and why building that first gave them something most agentic commerce players don't have: the data, the integrations, and the customer trust to move fast. We talk about the agentic storefront they are already running live, the stats on conversion and returns, how they think about high intent versus low intent shoppers, and why they want to be the agent powering experiences like Brunello Cucinelli rather than replace what great brand teams do. And then the fundraising journey, what it actually looks like to raise capital across multiple rounds, and the state of the fund raising market in 2025 and 2026.Enjoy the show.Book a free demo at: swap-commerce.com/offcuts

Hiring in AEC is harder than ever—and many firms are feeling the strain. In this episode, Bryce sits down with Micaela Socci, co-founder and CEO of Wemoter, to explore a new way of thinking about team building, hiring, and scalability. Instead of relying solely on traditional hiring models, Micaela shares how firms can integrate pre-vetted remote talent alongside their internal teams to increase capacity, reduce hiring friction, and maintain quality. They discuss the mindset shift required to embrace hybrid teams, the operational benefits of combining on-site and remote talent, and how this model is helping firms grow faster without overextending their people. If you're trying to scale your team—or struggling to keep up with demand—this episode offers a fresh, practical perspective. What we cover: Why traditional hiring models are breaking down  The benefits of hybrid teams (on-site + remote talent)  How to scale project capacity without increasing headcount  Overcoming trust and control concerns with remote teams  The role of systems and structure in making hybrid work  A new approach to talent strategy in AEC  About Micaela: Micaela F. Socci is the Co-Founder & CEO of Wemoter, where she helps AEC firms scale through people-powered growth and smarter talent strategies. With a background in International Trade and a deep passion for people management, she bridges the gap between global talent and the unique needs of architecture and engineering firms. Through Wemoter, Micaela has helped AEC firms grow up to 20% year-over-year, reduce hiring time by 40%, and scale project workloads by 2–3x without expanding internal headcount. She is passionate about helping firms adopt new ways of working—integrating remote and in-house teams to create more flexible, efficient, and scalable businesses. Her mission is to make insourcing the new standard for architect-led firms and to help studios grow without compromising quality or wasting time on misaligned hires.  

"We are a beauty store, and I think there's a tremendous impact that beauty products can have on someone's self-confidence and the way they feel about themselves that day. If we can put a smile on someone's face when they walk in our door, that's incredibly rewarding to me." —Annie Jackson   Clean beauty sounds good, but the labels are confusing and the claims are louder than the truth. We are surrounded by products that promise results without telling us what is inside. The real issue is not access, it is clarity. Annie Jackson, co-founder of Credo Beauty, shares how her journey from legacy beauty brands to building a clean beauty standard reshaped how products are made, vetted, and trusted. Press play to rethink what goes on our skin and why it matters: • Clean beauty standards and ingredient transparency • How to spot harmful chemicals in skincare • Why sustainability starts with packaging and sourcing • The rise of conscious consumers and Gen Z expectations • The challenge of building ethical beauty brands • What "better for you" really means in beauty Meet Annie: Annie Jackson is Co-Founder & CEO of Credo Beauty, a leading clean-beauty retailer she helped launch to bring high-performance, sustainably minded indie brands into mainstream retail. A beauty industry veteran, she began her career at Estée Lauder and was a founding team member at Sephora, experiences that shaped Credo's mission to prioritize ingredient transparency, safer formulations and sustainable packaging.  Under her leadership Credo has grown from a single Fillmore Street store to a national footprint, curating roughly 130 brands (the majority women-founded) and stewarding a rigorous Clean Standard and sustainability guidelines.  Annie is known for marrying retail expertise with a science-driven approach to product vetting and for championing accessibility and accountability in beauty.

When a founder refuses to let go, the business eventually hits a ceiling. In this episode of Founder Talk, Alex Sheridan sits down with Amanda Horan, Co-Founder + CEO of Line + Cleat, luxury USCG-approved life jackets, to unpack what it takes to build in a crowded category, challenge legacy assumptions, and create a brand that can grow beyond the founder.Key takeaways:00:00:00 Introduction00:03:40 Why would customers pay more for a premium product in a crowded market?Answer: Amanda explains that premium products win when they solve a neglected problem better through quality, trust, and design, not just price.00:07:47 What does USCG-approved actually mean, and why should founders care about consumer trust?Answer: It means the product passed formal testing for safety and performance, which becomes a major trust differentiator in a category full of confusion.00:12:05 How fast should founders move from idea to action?Answer: Amanda says her first real action happened within an hour, then research and outreach kept the idea moving instead of dying in planning mode.00:14:05 How can founders validate demand before building the full product?Answer: She looked at customer behaviour, workarounds, Etsy cover sales, and tagged brand photos to find proof that buyers wanted a safer, better-designed option.00:21:55 What is the most underrated marketing strategy for early-stage brands?Answer: Amanda argues that word of mouth, in-person events, and direct customer connection often beat overreliance on polished social media.00:31:20 What are founders really selling beyond the product or service?Answer: She says customers are buying the experience, identity, and emotional outcome they want to step into, not just the item itself.00:36:05 How do founders stop being the bottleneck as the business grows?Answer: Amanda points to mindset shifts, outsourcing, trusting strong partners, and deciding what truly needs founder oversight versus what should be released.00:58:20 How long should founders give a new business before giving up?Answer: Her view is at least 18 months of committed effort, because most founders quit before the business has enough time to take shape.For anyone thinking about scaling a business, building a team, or eventually selling your company, this entrepreneur podcast offers real founder lessons without hype. Watch the full episode for the full conversation.

On today's episode, we welcome Jash Mehta, Co-Founder & CEO of Pop & Bottle — a plant-based latte brand redefining what ready-to-drink coffee, matcha, and tea can look like when clean ingredients and real flavor come first. Inspired by California's farm-to-table culture and a desire to eliminate mystery ingredients and refined sugars from her daily latte ritual, Jash began experimenting in her apartment with the goal of creating something better. What started as a personal solution has grown into a national brand carried by major retailers across the U.S. In this episode, Jash shares what it takes to build a clean-label beverage brand in an incredibly crowded category, why matcha is having such a moment, and how ingredient transparency builds lasting trust with consumers. We also talk about scaling without compromising values, innovating with functional ingredients, and how motherhood has shaped Jash's leadership style and decision-making as a founder and CEO.

Celebrity might open the door, but execution is what blows it wide open – and Khloud is proving it. Co-founded by Khloé Kardashian, the fast-growing functional snack brand has raced from launch to 29,000 doors in just months, secured nationwide placement in Starbucks, and expanded beyond its flagship protein popcorn with a new line of protein chips. But Khloud's momentum isn't just about star power. In this episode, co-founder and CEO Jeff Rubenstein – a seasoned CPG operator with leadership experience at Vita Coco and Poppi – shares candid lessons on execution, early pricing missteps, and why celebrity alone doesn't build a lasting brand. He also breaks down how balancing mass visibility with grassroots community-building is key to long-term success.Show notes: 0:20: Jeff Rubenstein, Co-Founder & CEO, Khloud – Jeff discusses his entrepreneurial journey from Coca-Cola to building multiple successful brands and now leading Khloud. He explains Khloud's focus on "female, fun, functionality, and flavor," positioning its products as stylish, better-for-you snacks that stand apart from traditionally male-oriented functional products. Jeff emphasizes that Khloud's success goes beyond celebrity backing and shares key lessons from scaling quickly, including operational challenges like supply shortages, the importance of investing early in the right manufacturing and operations partners, over-promoting and underestimating demand. He expects Khloud to evolve from a product-driven company into a brand-driven one, aiming to create emotional connections with consumers.

On today's episode, we welcome Thomas Bowman, Co-Founder & CEO of Eclipse Foods — the plant-based dairy company built on one bold idea: replicate real dairy, don't compromise on it. A classically trained chef who worked in 16 Michelin-starred kitchens before moving into food innovation, Thomas brings culinary precision and food science together to create non-dairy products that truly match the taste, texture, and functionality of conventional dairy. In this conversation, Thomas shares his journey from fine dining to leading R&D at JUST, where he helped bring products like JUST Mayo to market, and how those lessons shaped Eclipse from day one. We talk about the “replication, not alternative” philosophy, the science behind building dairy without the cow, scaling disruptive food products, and what it really takes to change consumer behavior in a legacy category. A must-listen for founders, food innovators, and anyone interested in the future of sustainable dairy.   Are you interested in sponsoring and advertising on The Kara Goldin Show, which is now in the Top 1% of Entrepreneur podcasts in the world?
