In This Episode You'll Hear About:Why David wanted to create this company with a product that needed to be iterated hundreds and hundreds of times to get it right to be a non-alcoholic alternative that could be added to cocktails What the process of doing what so many people in the industry thought was impossible was like and how they persevered with this unique ideaWhat it was like launching a brand right before a pandemic and how they navigated those unusual challengesWhat childhood in Oklahoma was like and what ways David was entrepreneurial very early on, learning valuable lessons about hard work even as a teenagerHow he got into the fitness and physical therapy world and what led him to the CPG world after thatWhat advice he has for Co-Founders and for setting yourself up to be able to let go more easily as you scale and grow the companyWhat unique route they took for raising money and what advice David has for other founders when looking for non-traditional fundraising ideasHow David and his Co-Founders run the team and cultivate a company culture that is built on trust and respect and keeping it personalWhat is next for Ritual and why they are confident that Ritual will become synonymous with nonalcoholic spiritsTo Find Out More:RitualZeroProof.comQuotes:“The idea never left. And what came to me was, if we could actually make these taste like known spirits, if we could approximate the flavor profile of whiskey, of gin, tequila, rum, that'd be amazing.”“The devil's in the details and the details matter. Let's get it right. So we kind of knew we were on to something really early on in the process and it became a matter of perfecting.”“It's kind of like the Impossible Burger or almond milk. There's never going to be a world where the coffee joints don't sell alternative milks to go with your latte. And in no world, the grocery store is not going to have alternative meats. Now that it's there, people are buying it.” “What we've learned is you can't change consumer behavior. They're going to do the thing that they want to do. Maybe it's not real meat, maybe it's not real milk. Maybe it's a Ritual Margarita instead of the real thing.”“If I could do things differently, it's prepare for more success because this category is on fire. This company is leading the charge in the United States for a category that's really needed. And nobody understood just how big this was going to get when we first started the company.”“You just can't do it yourself. You certainly can't scale. And if you started off with the mindset of this is mine, mine, mine, it's really hard to give those pieces away and grow. And you have to be able to give things away to be able to grow.”“There's nothing not personal about a startup. The whole 'It's just business' thing is complete bullshit. It's just personal. Keep it personal and become friends.”“The most important thing you can have among your Founders and among your employees is trust.”“It is so very gratifying to build something and see something out in the real world. But I think it's just worth it. I think it's a shame if you don't give some version of entrepreneurship a shot. It's a wonderful way to grow as a person.”“It's a learning process. Your life is about learning. That's as important as the money you'll get from this, and you'll realize later ultimately more important than the money you'll get from this is how much you've learned, people you've met, the experiences you've had…”

In This Episode You’ll Hear About:How growing up in a family of doctors led to a real appreciation for nurses and doctors throughout her lifeWhat made her want to leave the small town in which she grew up and be in New York or LA, travel to Europe, and be a part of the world in some meaningful wayHow the desire to do things better has always been present throughout Louisa’s lifeWhy she started a yoga clothing company after college and why she went into finance after that, instead of continuing to build her first companyWhat her time in the finance world was like and what companies she got to see and work with and observe and learn from and why that shaped her even more to pursue a better way for consumersWhat happened with Claire’s that sparked the idea and created the curiosity for Louisa to innovate in a space that needed change and needed a better way and how her research, coupled with encouragement from her husband and a good friend got her started on the path to creating RowanWhere the idea for the name, Rowan, came from and why it fits so well with the brand’s mission and passion for this seminal moment of ear piercingWhat great advice she has on hiring and how she strives to create a healthy and positive team culture throughout the companyWhy she has found fundraising to be so beneficial, not just from the obvious raising of funds involved, but also for the clarity of goals and buy in from the team that it requires in order for it to be successfulHow Louisa led her team to take the challenge of COVID and turn it into a huge opportunity to expand into hundreds of Target stores and why that is a huge win for RowanWhat kind of routine helps her stay patient, focused, and able to handle the demands of being a mother and a CEOTo Find Out More:HeyRowan.comQuotes:“This is a seminal moment. This is a really important moment. It was an opportunity to have a moment with a friend or a parent or even with yourself. And don't we want to have great moments and remember them if we can? Because ultimately in life, that's what we look back on.”“I think that is for us one of the really exciting things about building this business is that we're creating this moment and then we want to be a brand that remains true to that customer for the rest of her or his life.”“I wanted to bring something that was accessible, but that was better and that was safer. And I also really liked the idea of creating a new work opportunity for nurses.”“I think as a CEO, my most important job is to make sure that we are taking care of. So what does that mean? First of all, that we have access to growth capital and great support from an ideas standpoint, et cetera, but that I'm building a really good team.“When you have employees and partners and teammates that feel ownership over what they're doing, there's a sense of joy and pride when things work, but a sense of accountability when they don't.”“it's important to listen to understand and not to respond in interviews. So I really do try to ask a lot of questions and then I really do try to listen.”“What is inefficient is after the multiple interviews done by different folks on the team to still have outstanding questions. It should be that you circle back and say, "Had an hour with this person, but here are the three things that I was left wondering about. Please make sure to ask them.’"“The fundraising experience requires you to get your house in order. And it is not possible to do it alone well. You need your team involved because they need to buy into the projections that you are building out and talking about.”“Your network is infinitely larger if you have great investors who also have large networks who are very interested in your success, not only because they know you and like you, but because they've actually invested in your business.”“It is really helpful if you can get someone to give you really good feedback. And to not let it weigh down, but to try to learn from it.” “You have to keep a piece of you because you're constantly giving so much of yourself.” “Whatever system you have in place is absolutely perfect to yield the outcome that it's yielding. So if you're not getting the right answer, then something about the process that you have in place needs to change.”

Erik Hersman, co-founder and CEO of BRCK (a 'backup generator for the internet'), technologist, investor, writer, Marine, and advocate of technological and entrepreneurial innovation in Africa, joins Michael on the podcast today. “I like solving big problems, and there’s big problems to solve.” - Erik HersmanThey discussed Erik’s amazing life growing up in South Sudan and Kenya, the surprisingly difficult cultural transition he faced when moving back to the United States for college, and his spectacular entrepreneurial career.Erik is an incredibly humble man, particularly for someone who has accomplished so much in his life.

In This Episode You’ll Hear About:Why as a kid she thought she’d one day be involved in the fashion industry and what kind of dreams and aspirations that desire led toHow her parents, who are both doctors, were instrumental in the mindset Nina grew up with of listening to the body and taking care of yourself in as many natural ways as possibleHow she gained a wide array of experience with internships during college and learned a lot about business and people at companies like Theory and KekstWhy her time at Bain was a great way for her to learn and understand so many aspects of business and be exposed to a variety of different industries, which led her to falling in love with startup cultureHow the idea for Hilma came about after an aha moment between three friends and how the name Hilma was chosen for the companyWhat the process of starting a company like Hilma was, how they measured success and proof of concept, and how they took off from thereWhat it is like to have Co-Founders and Co-CEOs and why that works really well for Nina, Hilary, and LilyWhat is next from Hilma and what they’ve learned as a DTC brand that is going to help them in their launch into retailWhat it is like to be a Founder and CEO and what advice she has for other aspiring and/or existing entrepreneurs out thereTo Find Out More:Hilma.coQuotes:“My parents are both doctors. Their approach to medicine and caregiving in the home is very much focused on kind of listening to your body and waiting before you take anything or kind of overreact to something.”“I knew I wanted to be in business, but I really hadn't picked a lane yet. And I thought that consulting was a great way to get exposure to a lot of different types of businesses, a lot of different industries, and also just gain that quantitative skill set that I felt was really important.”"Why is it that the medicine cabinet really feels stuck in the past when all of these other consumer categories have leapfrogged towards natural as being totally mainstream?" “We didn't even know what products we were going to start with. So talking to people and getting advice and just hearing how they react to you and engage with you was a very important part of the process.”“Our metrics for success were did people think the product worked and did people want to recommend it to their friends and family? Both of which very much we were able to prove.”“I think, in the beginning, a really big thing that we kind of misunderstood was the mindset of our target customer.”“I think viewing an investor as a potential consumer and kind of testing out what rationale works with them if I'm trying to convince them and how do I bucket this type of person and think about how to use that to my advantage in the future is kind of the positive thing that we're able to take away from those experiences.”“There also is a lot of interesting research that's been done on women as Co-CEOs and Co-Founders versus men, which tend to struggle in those types of relationships, whereas women tend to thrive, which is not shocking in my opinion.”“We are a category that the vast majority of consumers, even today, shop in-store. And so for us, it was less of an if. It was really a when. And I think having that in our sights and as part of our focus from day one was really important because as you know, like there's a million different priorities. And if you want to make a true retail launch work, it needs to be a focus.”“There are a lot of good moments and there are a lot of bad moments. And both of those moments need to be kept in perspective. Not one thing is going to make your business and not one thing is going to break your business.”“Those at bats of having negative things happen to you just naturally make you stronger over time. And you view them as opportunities, number one, to make a positive interaction, if you can.”“I really view "negative pitches," whether it's to an investor or a manufacturer or whoever it might be, as opportunities to get better at what you're doing, because you can always get better at selling your vision and your brand.”“One thing that worked for us and our founding team is just I do think that it's worthwhile to work on your idea for as long as you can before committing to it, mostly as a test of commitment to yourself.”

When you have the chance to spend an hour with Jim O'Shaughnessy, you grab it with both hands. Most of us feel like we know him personally based on his thoughtful opinions and Twitter acumen (@JPOSHAUGHNESSY). But Jim is obviously more than just memes and GIFS. Jim is the Principal, Chairman and Co-Chief Investment Officer, Portfolio Manager of O’Shaughnessy Asset Management ("OSAM"). He is a four-time author including the seminal investing book “What Works on Wall Street” and hosts the INFINITE LOOPS PODCAST with Jamie Catherwood. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005NASI8S/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 I knew about a decent amount about his career and what his company does. However, Jim is a Renaissance Man and a perpetual student who's mind can't get enough. I wanted to get behind his thinking as he made the move from a once mighty investment bank to starting (and building) his own firm. How does someone with ferocious curiosity make joint decisions with family, with colleagues. How did he use his own attributes and processes that helped him build a successful business to help him build a successful family with his wife and kids? Finally, how does someone like Jim think about the inclusion of the family in his business? Who is going to run the business as he has gets older? Finally, how did he get to the ultimate decision of handing the reigns of the firm to his son, Patrick? I hope you enjoy this episode. This is the story family businesses should hear. While the road is littered with family businesses left in tatters due to dysfunction, Jim talks about some of things that worked for him and his family. I include our outline below, but beware. We veer away from the script early and often. Amazingly, by the time we are done we cover many of the questions I had. Ownership and Operational Succession What does OSAM do?Background on your expertise- Take us throughDevelopment of the CompanyWhat is the company focusing on now?CANVASPositive SumInvest Like The Best / Infinite LoopsCapital Camp Managing Transition You’re 60 now!  What has been your thought process about where the company is?  And where it’s going to be?It seems like you embrace younger people – What does this do for you?

In 2013 Herrmann Arnold (at that time CEO and shareholder of Haufe-umantis AG) voluntarily stepped down as a CEO and appointed a former intern for the CEO position, because he was convinced that he wasn‘t the right person to continue the next growth stage of his company. Many would view this as a colossal failure. Why the exact opposite is true, is something we discuss at length in this episode. In this episode we will answer some of the following questions:Why my guest voluntarily stepped down as a CEO in order to give a former intern his positionHow his successor and customers reacted to this decisionHow a manager recognizes the point where he or she is not the right person anymore to continue to lead the companyWhat it felt like coming back to the company and working under the new CEOHow he handled the conflict of his successor implementing his ideas with successWhy more companies should think about limiting the terms of their CEOsWhat he learned from letting his employees vote for managers and why he believes this might not be the solution for the future Show Notes, Links & Resources Mentioned: gammabeyond.com/en/podcast/011Podcast Website: www.innovationalcorrectness.com---If you enjoyed this episode, could I ask you for one small favor?Would you please consider rating and reviewing this podcast on iTunes, Overcast or the podcast app of your choice?

Cigar of the Week - Calibre 58 from Miami Cigar and Company "Originally an event cigar, available only at Miami Cigar events, the Calibre was not meant to be a production line. However, due to increasing pressure from retailers, the line will soon be available with a foot band in slide lid boxes. This is a 4x58 100% Nicaraguan Puro. It comes in both a Robusto and a Toro with the same dimensions and this sample sports a rosado wrapper although it will also be available with an oscuro." Dale talks about his impressions from IPCPR "Dark Side - PARTAGAS 8-9-8 VARNISHED The 8-9-8 cigars from Partagas are favorites of Cuban tobacco lovers. They get their name from their presentation in a box of 25 cigars, divided into tree layers of 8, 9 and 8 cigars. It is one of the current vitola range: strong, well balanced, with rich aroma and flavor, and ideal measures for the smoker who can spare the time. Length: 6.6 inches (170mm) Ring Gauge: 43 Factory Shape: Dalias Strength: Full" Dark Side - Dale - Dark Side - Bob - " Cigar of the Week - Calibre 58 from Miami Cigar and Company "What else have you been smokin' Dale?- Don Pepin Garcia Blue Label, churchill - Paradigm 262 - La Traviata Maduro robusto - Guillermo Leon corona - Cain Nub Maduro - " "What else have you been smokin' Bob? - CAIN NUB Habano - Like the CAIN Habano but I just cannot get used to this form factor. I have an uncomfortable feeling the whole time I smoke the NUB format. CAO Brazilia monster 5x56 - The ring guage is just overwhelming for a cigar that I actually like. All of the subtleties of the flavors get lost in an overwhelming rush of strength and tobacco. It loses the flavor of the wrapper. Elogio Salamone - A sweet tasting cigar that builds dramatically as you smoke in to it. La Herencia de Cuba - A winner of tobacco, spice and leather. Get these while they are still available. La Traviata Maduro -Better than the original La Traviata as it carries more flavor seems to be more consistent throughout the experience." "Interview with La Herencia, Tabacalero Ramirez." Don't forget our monthly Palio Contest! In august the prize is a Gold Palio. "Whats My Band - suggested by Nelson Pidgeon Bob - Very subtle, slight aroma at the foot, First draw is very nice mild flavors of spice and tobacco. Overall a pleasant mild cigar with good flavors, an easy burn and good draw." "Next week Cigar of the Week is the Adrians Havana and on the Dark Side, and a very special Unbanded from Liz. Sitting in for Dale next week will be Colin Ganley and Craig Schneider" Call and leave a cigar review on the herf line and you will receive a DogWatch Cigar Radio patch!
