Nancy is the CEO and Founder of PathMatch, a platform that matches students to in-demand careers, helps them prepare, and then connects them to top employers.  She’s also a Talent Partner at Hypothesis Ventures, a Venture Capital firm, where she advises high-growth companies on hiring.  Prior to this, she was former CEO of FILD, a recruiting firm that connects top talent to some of the most well-respected companies around the country. After spending two decades helping companies hire, she noticed a huge skills gap emerging.  Students were graduating from college without the requisite skills and experience to land most entry-level jobs companies were looking to fill.  After working with hundreds of students, she realized this was a result of students' lack of knowledge of the modern career paths available today.  She and her team built PathMatch to connect students to compatible career paths and then help them build the relevant skills and experiences they need to land top jobs. Nancy holds a BA in Psychology and Music from Emory University.

Cole Zucker is the Co-Founder and former Co-CEO of Green Creative, a company that offers a comprehensive line of high-performance LED lighting solutions that have been widely adopted by some of the largest companies in the world. After graduating from college, Cole moved to Shanghai, China where he met his business partner, Guillaume Vidal. In 6 years, they took the company from $0 to $60 million in revenue and eventually decided to sell the business. Cole and his wife Katie have since started a new venture, influencer platform Hey Hero, offering a solution for people who want a better way to communicate directly with influencers—and for influencers who want to better monetize that connection. Platform users can search for their favorite influencers and ask questions or request personalized recommendations for a fee. Then influencers can accept the offers, and respond on their own time—via video, voice chat, or text.

In 2007, Cole Zucker made what might have seemed like a risky decision. After graduating college, he purchased a one-way ticket to Shanghai, China, checked into a hostel, and started searching for work.   This life-altering experience eventually led to Cole co-founding Green Creative, a multi-million dollar commercial LED lighting company. He’s since exited Green Creative and started Hey Hero, a platform that enables influencers to offer personalized, expert advice to their followers. In the latest episode of College of Influence’s podcast, we talked with Cole about how he started Green Creative, lessons he discovered along the way, and how influencers can benefit from his learnings.

Cole Zucker turned a sudden job loss into a BIG opportunity. He booked an eight-week stay at a hostel in China that turned into a three-year fact-finding and networking mission. Eventually, Cole spotted a market that he thought was ready to explode in the US: LED lighting. Green Creative was born, and five years later, Cole was riding a rocket ship from $0 to $40 million in growth that landed him a significant exit. On today’s show, Cole Zucker discusses those early years of explosive growth in terms of what he learned and what he would do differently. He also shares a couple of great insights on what he did to overcome a major challenge that he hit in the company's early days.

Hey everyone, in today’s episode I share the mic with Guillaume Vidal and Cole Zucker, co-founders of Green Creative, which provides high-performance LED lighting solutions to some of the largest companies in the world. Tune in to hear Guillaume and Cole discuss the turning point that enabled Green Creative to go from $300K to $40M in sales in 5 years, the secret to their successful customer acquisition, how they base their commission structure, and why you should never underestimate industry relationships.

Cole Zucker started his entrepreneurial journey buying a one-way plane ticket to Shanghai China just after he was fired from a job that he hated in New York. Everything he owned was shoved into 2 duffel bags, he had $3,000 to his name and he knew no one in the city and didn't speak the language. After landing a job at a lightbulb manufacturing company, he recognized a market that was primed for disruption. That market was the LED lightbulb market. This conversation takes us through the early development days and of Cole being homeless in San Francisco chasing down lighting trucks for leads with nothing but a box of lightbulbs and a big idea. 7 years after hitting the streets of San Francisco, Cole is the C0-CEO of Green Creative that he founded with his partner Guillaume Vidal, a $60 million LED lightbulb manufacturing company with 80 employees across the U.S. and China. [caption id="attachment_2937" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Guillaume Vidal and Cole Zucker, photo credit Timothy Archibald for Forbes.[/caption] In this episode we discuss... Being the worst in his training class at the first job he ever had. Getting fired from his first job within a first year for poor performance. Buying a one-way ticket to Shanghai China. Landing in China with 2 duffel bags, $3,000 and not knowing anyone or the language. How he landed a job at a lightbulb manufacturing company. Recognizing the pending disruption in the lightbulb industry with LED lightbulbs that started his entrepreneurial journey. How him and his partner developed their first Minimum Viable Product...that looked terrible but worked. Living out of his car and on people's couches to save money while cold-calling business selling his new product.
