Aaron Steffey is the co-founder and co-CEO of Propeller, an online platform that enables insurance agents and brokers to issue surety bonds instantly — without the lengthy paperwork or back-and-forth typically involved in bonding. Aaron was an insurance agent, and his co-founder cousin, Chris, was a surety bond underwriter before 2019, when they set out to revolutionize the way surety bonds are bought and sold. They initially bootstrapped with a software development partner who accepted equity instead of fees. Their first version drastically simplified the process of buying and selling surety bonds in the digital world, allowing them to grow quickly. They raised $7 million in SAFE notes from strategic partners to accelerate growth in 2021 and grow to nearly $20 million in revenue. They sold 100% of the company to Arch Capital in a strategic acquisition in early 2024. In this episode, Aaron also talks about: How this sleepy, paper-based market changed quickly in COVID Why they raised growth funding from strategic investors and not VCs Why they sold the company and are still leading the business after the sale Quote from Aaron Steffey, co-founder and co-CEO of Propeller “My biggest advice for startup founders is simply just that endurance wins. It's the whole thing of getting back up after you're knocked down, like everyone says. I had to live that so many times. So many No's when it came to our first carrier pulling out. No, I don't want to invest. No, I don't want to use your surety product.  “There were so many times when I wanted to give up. And the same with my cousin. Had we not founded the company together, I don't know that we would have continued because there were probably times when I would have given up.   “As long as both of us weren't on the floor, one of us would just pick the other up when the other person usually was more sane, and we dragged each other along.  “A successful founder needs to have a pretty high pain tolerance and endurance to succeed. You just have to keep pushing forward. It just sounds so cliche, but that's what it was for us.” Links Aaron Steffey on LinkedIn Propeller on LinkedIn Propeller website Arch Capital website The Practical Founders Podcast Tune into the Practical Founders Podcast for weekly in-depth interviews with founders who have built valuable software companies without big funding.

What do you do when the world shuts down 10 days after you launch your dream business?   In today's episode of the Leaders Across America podcast, Steve Acorn catches up with Simon Fraser, a standout leader in the Young Entrepreneurs Across America program back in 2013-2015, and now the founder of Headlamp Studios, a Utah-based video production company. Simon first joined YEAA as a student at Ohio State, running a $60K branch his rookie year and scaling to over $750K in sales as a GM. But this conversation is about what came next—and how he built a business (and a life) from the ground up.   Simon opens up about leaving his job at a video company in Charleston, moving across the country, and launching Headlamp just before the pandemic hit. He shares what it was like to go from freelance survival to leading a team of 15+ contractors, working with brands like Microsoft and Aspen Valley Hospital, and producing documentaries that light him up creatively. He also reflects on how the YEAA program gave him more than skills—it gave him the mindset to keep going when things got hard.   From sharing a Jeep Wrangler with his brother to building a values-first creative agency, Simon's story is packed with practical insight, honesty, and inspiration for anyone trying to create something meaningful on their own terms.   If you've enjoyed this episode of the Leaders Across America podcast, be sure to leave a review and subscribe today!   Enjoy!

A graduate of the Young Entrepreneurs Across America program, Simon scaled his student painting business to over $240K before joining the YEAA team full-time.

The woke mentality steals the ability for people to have gratitude. No matter how shitty the situation is, if we can cultivate a sense of gratitude, then it gives us the option of agency... ...I can be grateful for the challenge that I have, and then you can start moving forward, or you experience despair which means your progress has stopped and you're done. You're either going to die now or you're going to die later, but your situation isn't going to change. - Robb Wolf Are You Stressed Out Lately?

The thing about that is that you need a certain rate of economic growth to keep that system going. If you don't have a certain rate of economic growth, then the whole system collapses." - Robb Wolf   Being Ready For The Unpredictable "There will be a lot of dislocation, a lot of pain, and the people that are going to suffer the most are the people that didn't realize this was an eventuality. They didn't realize there was a possibility of a really rainy day, and maybe a rainy month, or a rainy decade. So they're going to be surprised, and they're going to be bitter, and that's going to make them really ineffective, strap themselves, and lean into the community that they have and help each other. The bright side of that, people will be more networked in the real world. People will care more of each other." - Robb Wolf   Downside Risk Mitigation "There are a lot of folks that are afraid of facing some of these darker realities because of the anxiety they produce just thinking about economic stuff and global upheaval. But a little bit of investment in downside risk mitigation really helps you sleep at night. But then the advice I need, and what I've been realizing, I've been too good at that, I've invested too much in that. I've been preparing too much for the end of the world instead of preparing for a better world." - Robb Wolf   Links From Today's Show  Robb Wolf 103 Wired to Eat - Robb Wolf 357 Robb Wolf | Sacred Cow: The Case for (Better) Meat 403 Robb Wolf | Electrolytes: How Sodium, Potassium & Magnesium Help To Beat Brain Fog Ancestral Health Symposium 071 Food Freedom Forever With Melissa Hartwig Sacred Cow by Diana Rodgers and Robb Wolf Wired to Eat: Turn Off Cravings, Rewire Your Appetite for Weight Loss, and Determine the Foods That Work for You by Robb Wolf The Paleo Solution: The Original Human Diet by Robb Wolf Drink LMNT – Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack,with any purchase Gavin Newsom - California's Governor 463 JP Sears | This Is How Media HIJACKS Your Mind: Stop Censoring Yourself & Heal The Tyrant Within Naval Special Warfare Wyoming Carbon Capture facility Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor E.

The state, local and education or SLED market took a hit in 2020 as COVID shutdowns forced governments to shift into remote or hybrid operations. But federal funding is helping the market rebound. And money from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) means opportunities for businesses to break into or expand their reach in SLED government contracting. So, what industries look to benefit most from ARPA? And what can your business do to capitalize on growing opportunities in the SLED market? Chris Dixon is Senior Manager of SLED Market Analysis at Deltek, the leading global provider of software solutions for project-based work. Chris' team conducts targeted research aimed at shedding light on the SLED market across multiple industries.

Key Takeaways Deltek's role as the leading global provider of software solutions for project-based work How to develop business strategy using GovWin's database of opportunities The 12 industries Chris' team tracks for trends in the SLED market Why the public sector is usually up when commercial markets are down How federal aid buoyed the SLED market and prepared it for the strong recovery we're seeing right now ARPA's focus on serving communities disproportionately impacted by COVID Why there's lag time before ARPA funding will be available (and how to best use that time) What mid-market companies need to know about the SLED market Why cloud and cyber solutions are dominating the SLED market right now What's driving the biggest growth industries in the SLED market at present (e.g.: architecture and engineering, operations and maintenance) The likelihood that governments will maintain e-procurement systems in a post-pandemic world Chris' advice on selling solutions built for the commercial market in the public sector  Connect with Chris Chris on LinkedIn GovWin GovWin on Twitter Deltek on Twitter Deltek on LinkedIn Deltek Email chrisdixon@deltek.com Connect with Lisa  Lisa's Website Lisa on Twitter Lisa on Facebook Lisa on LinkedIn The RFP Success Company on YouTube The RFP Success Company on LinkedIn Subscribe on iTunes Email podcast@rfpsuccess.com  Resources National Association of State CIOs Office of Justice Programs CARES Act American Rescue Plan Act GovWin's Q1 2022 State and Local Procurement Snapshot Public Technology Institute Book a Call with the RFP Success Company Dare to Be Influential: Maximizing Your Positive Influence While Still Being True to You by Lisa Rehurek The RFP Success Book by Lisa Rehurek The RFP Success Institute

What happens when a company goes bankrupt? Why do investors buy their stocks that are headed to zero? In this episode, we explore how the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) has changed the game. Deepak explains the many nuances of current regulations and how they've evolved. We dive into examples such as Bhushan Steel, Sintex and Ruchi Soya - which we hope will give you clarity. Listen in and decide. Would you stay the hell away from such stocks, or start hunting for bargains? --- Understanding Bankruptcy Businesses are tough and the best ones survive. There are ample failure points for a business that can drive it to bankruptcy. One or a combination of factors such as economical, social, regulatory, political, geographical, etc can drive a business suddenly to the ground or induce a slow death. Such companies eventually stare at bankruptcy. We discuss - - What is bankruptcy? - Does everyone lose money when companies go bankrupt? - Who gets what when the company is sold for parts? --- Learnings from the Sintex saga Sintex Industries, the Ahmedabad-based company, that boasts of tanks covering the skyline of most cities of India, was dragged to bankruptcy courts after it defaulted on a meager payment of ~15.4 crores towards principal and interest on its NCDs. This was the final nail in the coffin for the firm that had mismanaged its finances for too long. We discuss - - What Sintex does as a business - How the company was re-structured (through demerger) - How its issues snowballed to lead the company into IBC Eventually, the IBC ( Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code) tribunal was able to keep the company running and also got a successful bidder to buy out the stressed company. That's good news for almost all of its stakeholders. Except for its shareholders who will lose all of their equity in the company. So they get nothing. Zero. --- So How does IBC work? Why do existing shareholders lose everything? The short answer: Because existing shareholders contribute nothing to the upcoming growth of the company, they get nothing. The company that these existing shareholders bought into eventually went bankrupt. So the story for existing shareholders ends here with a big zero in their hands. Sounds unfair but that's how it is. We discuss - - How does the IBC process work? - Every existing stakeholder (debtors, employees, vendors) gets some part of the new entity. The current shareholders should also get a piece no? - What actually happened to  Sintex shares? - How did things use to happen before the IBC? There are a lot of examples discussed in this section that explain different aspects of the bankruptcy process and also highlight how each bankruptcy case is different. --- But, existing shares of Ruchi Soya went up "to the moon" while it was going through bankruptcy All bankruptcies are different and unique. Ruchi Soya was trending on social media recently because the company came back strongly from bankruptcy and its investor (Patanjali) seems to have made a killing on its investment. There's lots more to the whole revival story. Deepak explains - - How regulatory rules change impacted the Ruchi Soya bankruptcy process - The bidding by Adani and Patanjali - Interestingly, they kept 1% of the company listed. Why? - How does Patanjali make Ruchi Soya operating cash flow positive? - The positive impact of Covid - Why is a company that makes only 800 Crores has a market cap of 31000 crores? --- Does investing in distressed companies work? We all love investing at its theoretical best - buy extremely low and sell high. We also keep repeating Buffett's quotes like “Buy when there is blood on the street”. Distressed companies feel like a value buy all time but they are almost always value traps or falling knives or whatever. We briefly touch upon this before we wind up the podcast - - A quick reference to Buffett's investing in the Salomon brothers - Brookfield & Hotel Leela deal - distress investing Let us know if you enjoyed our podcasts on Twitter or write to us at premium [at] capitalmind [dot] in!

In today's episode, we are joined by Dr. Arunima Agarwal. Dr. Agarwal and I will go through a rapid fire Q&A with regards to the COVID vaccine for children under five. I know that so many parents were looking forward to February coming along and hopefully having this vaccine approved for kids under five, myself included. Unfortunately, that did not get approved this month. So in this conversation, we are looking at why this vaccine hasn't been approved, when we can expect it to be, where to find research-backed information to guide your decision, and more. Originally from Toronto, Canada, New York based pediatrician, Dr. Arunima Agarwal has a passion for helping and taking care of kids and their families from diverse backgrounds. Her interest in academics and auto-immune diseases started early in her residency training, which prompted her to pursue fellowship to further her knowledge,– from working at Children's Hospital of Los Angeles to Grenada, where she was part of the American Medical Students Association who traveled to isolated islands to provide routine screening for vision, diabetes and other chronic illnesses.  She immediately saw a need for vaccine, nutrition and chronic illness education, which led to her to participate in televised educational content for NBC and ABC LA regarding the flu vaccine and the importance of limiting unhealthy sugars. Now that she has relocated back to the east coast she hopes to continue educating and taking care of at-risk youth in the Bronx school system.  Dr. Agarwal also educates patients regarding COVID testing and recommendations as part of Same Day Health, a telemedicine platform created to help patients during this global pandemic. She is a Board Certified Pediatrician with the American Board of Pediatrics and has an undergraduate degree in Biology with Honors at the University of Western Ontario. She studied at St. George's University in Grenada for medical school and completed her clinical rotations in Brooklyn, NY. In this episode we discuss: Why the COVID vaccine for children under five hasn't been approved The process of getting a vaccine tested and approved When this vaccine might be available for ages five and under What kinds of side effects are being seen in vaccinated children over five How long you should wait to vaccinated your child if they've recently had COVID Why you should vaccinate younger children, even if they aren't at a high risk of severe health issues Resources: The CDC website The American Academy of Pediatrics The World Health Organization  Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Episode 41, COVID Vaccine + Kids: A Rapid Fire Q&A with Dr. Krupa Playforth Episode 34, Update on MIS-C and COVID in Children with Dr. Anita Patel Episode 5, Rapid Fire Q&A on COVID Vaccines with Infectious Disease Epidemiologist, Jessica Malaty Rivera Episode 3.

I sit down with women who have made their refresh dreams come true and discuss how and why they moved abroad or hit the road to travel. In this episode I speak to Marla Stein!

To date, she's traveled to close to 40 countries and has lived in London, Tel Aviv, San Francisco, Boston, and South Korea.

Marla holds a Bachelor's in Psychology and a Master Degree in International and Intercultural Studies. She's also a former non-profit fundraising director and has worked for health, education, and international focused organizations. While she's hit refresh numerous times, one of her most "extreme" changes was saying goodbye to her career and social life in San Francisco to teach English as a Second Language in a small town in South Korea. Since then, she's launched Marlita's Atlas Writing Service and creates content for clients in T.H.E (Travel, Health, and Education) industries.

In this episode Ken sits down with Rob Levine and they talk about using a global perspective to grow your law firm.   For the past 15 years, Rob Levine, as founder and President of Rob Levine and Associates, has been a staple in the Southern New England Personal Injury business. Rob is committed to helping people, exemplifying leadership and building businesses. At sixteen, when most kids his age were simply out being kids, he became part of the Glen Rock Volunteer Ambulance Corps, holding a position of EMT (emergency medical technician). He was promoted within a year to Crew Chief. This was the beginning of his call to serve. The next phase of Rob's career took him to college for Administration of Justice and to the Rhode Island Army National Guard. There he served three years as a military police officer. After his national service and graduating from college, he took a step toward serving the community. He was hired as a police officer by the Central Falls Police Department. Seeing the many needs of the citizens of Central Falls during his first six months on the force, Rob decided it was time to do more. He began a writing project for a grant and secured sixteen thousand dollars for the department's first K-9 Drug Enforcement unit. Upon his appointment as the K-9 Officer, he went to California for formal training. In addition to his patrol duty, Rob and his dog were instrumental in fighting the ever-present drug problem in the city. His police work was not the only thing he was focused on, Rob also concentrated on his personal development. Rob began to attend law school, was learning how to fly helicopters, practicing in a Robison R-22, helicopter. After graduating from law school Rob retired from the police department and began to practice law continuing to help those in need. Rob also continued to feel the need to serve the community as a volunteer and became a Ski Patroller. Rob now works and volunteers his time as a paramedic, riding on an ambulance, trying to make a difference. Rob Levine & Associates, The Heavy Hitter.   What you'll learn about in this episode: Working as in-house counsel for a business and facilitating huge growth of the company Learning all areas of the law by practicing it The opportunity to learn so much from a mastermind group Going remote and global after COVID Why happy employees are the best thing for your clients Keeping communication active with a remote workforce Hiring employees from around the globe and the savings it brings Records retrieval and the headaches a streamlined platform can cure   Resources:   Website: https://www.roblevine.com/ Website 2: https://recordsontime.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/roblevinelaw/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/roblevinelaw Twitter: https://twitter.com/roblevinelaw     Additional Resources: PILMMA's Super Summit https://learn.pilmma.org/pilmma-super-summit-2021 The Mastermind Effect: https://www.pilmma.org/the-mastermind-effect/ PILMMA's Free Resources: https://www.pilmma.org/free-resources/ PILMMA Join Page: https://learn.pilmma.org/join-pilmma

Trying to break through the noise at the California Capitol to get your issue front and center? You're hustling. But why is your message is not resonating? Today I talk with Eduardo Martinez, Legislative Director for the California Labor Federation, who shares his insight - based on years of experience as a legislative staffer - on how to ensure your message is not only received but resonates. Eduardo most recently served as Chief of Staff to former Assemblymember and now Mayor of San Diego Todd Gloria. At the beginning of 2021, Mr. Martinez left the Legislature to take a position in the "Third House" - Sacramento vernacular for the community of lobbyists and advocates who descend on the Capitol each year to promote and influence legislation. Eduardo serves as Legislative Director for the California Labor Federation, an alliance of 1,200 affiliated unions from around the state, leading their efforts to pass laws that protect California's families and strengthen workers' rights. Over ten months of each year, 120 legislators and their staff consider thousands of bill ideas with the potential to impact hundreds of diverse issue areas. Since no one person can digest thousands of pages of information, staff are responsible for vetting proposals, meeting with stakeholders, understanding the politics, and making recommendations. You can't overstate the critical role of legislative staff. In this interview, we talk about: - Transitioning into the Third House during the chaos of 2021 COVID - Why advocates need to over-prepare, remain disciplined, and always lead with emotion - How to condense your message into high impact "elevator pitches" - How to create more opportunities for Labor and Advocacy groups to partner around common goals Learn more about the important work of the California Labor Federation.

But Covid forced them to modernise and the result is that online sales have been spectacular and have attracted a new audience," said Artprice founder Thierry Ehrmann. 「拍賣公司曾經非常落後時代，但是新冠病毒疫情迫使他們現代化，結果就是線上銷售成績可觀，且吸引了新的群眾。」藝術價格創辦人蒂埃里．埃爾曼說。   Next Article   Bitcoin or not, blockchain is here to stay 比特幣要不要，區塊鏈前景光明   Current systems within the banking industry, in particular, are certainly archaic and in need of a significant revamp. Bitcoin's success which based on the blockchain technology could not have come at a better time. 銀行產業的現行系統確實特別地落伍，必須改頭換面。而建立於「區塊鏈」科技上的「比特幣」的成功，來得正是時候。 UBS CEO Sergio Ermotti, with UBS having already entered into a partnership with IBM to use blockchain technology for global trade transactions. Ermotti has said that he believes that there is a future for blockchain technology and that it will play a big role in changing and reshaping the industry. Other banks that have also joined the partnership include Commerzbank, Bank of Montreal, CaixaBank and Erste Group according to IBM. 瑞士銀行執行長瑟吉奧．厄莫提已促成瑞士銀行與IBM合作，使用區塊鏈技術處理全球貿易業務。厄莫提此前表示，他認為區塊鏈技術頗有前景，並能在銀行業的重塑與變革上扮演重要角色。IBM表示，包括德國商業銀行、蒙特婁銀行、凱克薩銀行、奧地利第一儲蓄銀行等也已參與合作。 More banks recently joined the IBM project named Batavia and blockchain technology. The project is expected to completely transform trade finance, which to this day continues to be largely paper-based, resulting in significant lag times for receipt of goods and payment. 最近有愈來愈多銀行加入IBM的區塊鏈科技專案「Batavia」。這項專案可望徹底翻轉金融交易；金融業長久以來都是紙上作業，進而導致交易兩造的時間大幅延宕。 It's not just the financial institutions who are moving into the blockchain world, with central banks also exploring the technology. News hit the wires at the end of last week as the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission beginning to test the technology. 不只是金融機構涉足區塊鏈世界，也有中央銀行探究這項技術。上週末發佈的最新報導指出，塞普勒斯證券交易委員會正在著手測試區塊鏈技術。Source article: https://features.ltn.com.tw/english/article/paper/1488332 ; https://news.ltn.com.tw/news/world/paper/1153381

There is no reason manufacturing needs to be dominated by men — even if it, historically, always was. Yet today, as other sectors become more representative, one look around most manufacturing sites and you'll notice the lack of women immediately.  Why are we lagging behind? And more importantly, what can we do about it? My guest today, Lesley Ledwell Dukelow , Company President at Ledwell, is a 4th-generation female leader of a family-owned manufacturing business and she has some ideas about how we can tackle the gender gap in manufacturing. In this episode, we discuss: -Supply chain issues in the wake of COVID -Why the labor shortage demands we hire from more underrepresented groups, including women -Why women are less represented in manufacturing and what we can do about it To ensure that you never miss an episode of The Manufacturing Executive, subscribe on Apple Podcasts, or Spotify.

Special guest Tommy Breedlove joins us to talk about how functional medicine practitioners can provide telehealth services for patients while creating a welcoming virtual environment and how to pivot in the field during and after COVID-19. He shares: Insights into telehealth services for patients How to adapt your practice for COVID Why telehealth is here to stay How FM practitioners can better connect with patients Why self-care and self-love are important for FM practitioners How to evolve your practice to stay relevant Leading by Example Tommy Breedlove is a best-selling author of Legendary and business, relationship, and mindset coach, as well as an international keynote speaker. His business is guiding people to live their dreams. Everything Tommy teaches, he practices in his everyday life. From meditation to affirmations, Tommy is happy to be on the right side of karma and help people find their true calling. Today, on the FM Shift, Tommy joins us to share with functional medicine practitioners how their own self-care is essential for their patients. He also gives us insights into staying relevant in a world that's constantly changing, even walking us through the details of the future of telehealth and how it can allow us to serve more people and make more money. Don't Become a Dinosaur During the COVID-19 pandemic, the world changed. Suddenly business trips, school, offices, and many other in-person functions were canceled. Luckily, thanks to technology, many businesses didn't miss a beat. But that doesn't mean businesses didn't struggle. As functional medicine practitioners, we had to get creative with how we served our patients. That meant entering new territory for many of us and creating telehealth services for patients. While many doctors nationwide offered telehealth services before COVID, suddenly all patients were seen virtually. As we inch nearer to the pandemic's end, it's easy to think that the market will return to the old way, and many of us are looking forward to getting back into the office. But before we make that jump, take a moment to think about the benefits of telehealth for your patients. Virtual visits mean they can attend their appointments without the hassle of driving across town and taking time off work. And, as you know, time is money. Speaking of which, when patients are able to spend 15-30 minutes on a virtual call with you, instead of an hour or two to see you in person, you will be able to serve more patients every day. Additionally, you will be able to serve a wider range of clientele. After all, when your practice is virtual, you can help patients from all over your state, not just your local area. When the pandemic is over, don't think that just because you can have in-person appointments means face-to-face is best. Don't lose patients to a competitor simply because they continue their telehealth and you don't. Make Space for Your Patients Did you know that functional medicine is more than serving your patients? When you're a healer, it is your job to make sure your patient has what he or she needs to heal. However, you cannot heal someone when you still have wounds. That's why it's so important for you to practice self-care, self-love, self-respect, and more. Healing is more than understanding the root cause of an illness and healing it. It's also about making sure the mind is healthy. For doctors, it can be difficult to make space for your patient to recover if you're still feeling the pain of your own traumas, especially when providing telehealth services for patients, it can be challenging to create a warm and empathetic environment. But, if your mindset is clear and healthy, you can make yourself more available to your patients. This means that you will be able to serve your patients better and reach a wider population. As your mindset heals from your past traumas, you will notice that you start to let go of negativity, fear, and pain, opening yourself up to take on more than you ever thought possible. About Tommy Breedlove Tommy Breedlove is the author of the best-selling book Legendary. But before he was featured in the Wall Street Journal and USA Today, Tommy spent 20 years at one of the largest financial consulting firms in the world, where he eventually became a shareholder, the International Practice Leader, and a board of directors member for one of the largest accounting firms in the Southeast. But, at the height of his career, Tommy walked away from the corporate life to help people follow their dreams. He shows his clients how to live with meaning and balance while obtaining financial freedom and working in their zone of genius.

"Real estate is a capital intensive business. So everybody's chasing these bigger complexes, which is 20% of the market." — Bob Dhillon From flipping homes to becoming the first Sikh billionaire in North America, Bob Dhillon knows his fair share about Canada's rental housing market. The CEO of Mainstreet Equity Corp. has netted a fortune by investing in undervalued mid-market apartment blocks, refurbishing them, and appealing to the inner city, millennial renter. Why? For one thing, the affordable housing shortage. 73% of Canadians make less than $50,000 a year.  So, build all the fancy buildings you want, but they don't cater to 73% of the population.

Here's what we talked about: Trends in renter behaviour during and post-COVID Why the multifamily industry is resilient — and will continue to be What the future holds for the Alberta rental market A weekly podcast on PropTech, multifamily marketing, and the rental housing industry.
