This historic drop is in collaboration with Disrupt Art, an NFT platform on the Flow Blockchain that seeks to empower artists by reducing transaction fees for creatives.

Dawn Dickson's company, PopCom, is bringing AI to on-the-go retail. In this conversation, the serial entrepreneur and IT veteran describes how solving her own need for smarter vending machines led to a breakthrough venture, plus what she learned from launching her product during the pandemic.  This episode is hosted by Jenny Shum, Vice President of US Small and Medium Customer and Product Marketing at American Express.

In today's episode of the As Told by Nomads Podcast, join Dawn Dickson-Akpoghene and me to talk about the experience of founding multiple businesses and her company, Popcom's technology that helps retailers skyrocket their businesses' product-market fit through brand intelligence. Growing up under business-oriented parents, she found it funny how entrepreneurship was never brought up or taught. And because the school system only teaches kids how to be workers, Dawn learned the hard way to rightly pave her path as an entrepreneur. Tune in and find out what else Dawn has to share about their technology of tomorrow in this episode!Going For It Anyway Before accumulating 20 years in entrepreneurship, Dawn had to start by learning her way in. Even though she was a daughter to parents who were into business. "It wasn't a word we talk about," she even said. Growing up in her family, they were taught to only focus on getting into college, finding a corporate job, and retire from that job. For Dawn, it wasn't encouraging at all. In a school system where kids are generally taught the knowledge and skills on how to be workers and not CEOs, Dawn grew this innate solid feeling of wanting to be freer and be more of her own. She wants to call the shots. Eventually, Dawn did just that. In 2001, she founded Urban Star—an online entertainment social platform before social media was even a thing back in the early days. Urban Star focused on listing events, restaurants, concerts, and everything hot and current in central Ohio. They were recognized for featuring local artists and music on their site and did really well by making money from email marketing and hosting online ads. If we think of it, Dawn was a real starter. By the time this episode comes out, she is already the founder of her 5th brand.Outline of the episode:[03:50] "Entrepreneurship wasn't a word we talk about..."[05:02] Businesses built on experience and the need to solve personal problems.[08:16] What a business, from 20 years ago, teaches you.[10:34] What Popcom does for businesses and the people.[12:48] How did the pandemic affect Popcom?[18:09] On extending Popcom's mission to international markets.[20:06] What is brand intelligence?[21:46] Basically, anyone can invest in Popcom![25:27] On building a community of investors that network and invest in each other.[28:35] "No one else's success is going to affect mine."Resources:Website: https://www.popcom.shop/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dawndickson/Twitter: https://twitter.com/THEDawnDickson/Popcom's Crowdfunding: https://www.startengine.com/popcomSubscribe to the UYD Collective: https://tayorockson.podia.com/uydcollectiveConnect with Tayo Rockson and the As Told By Nomads Podcast on:Linkedin:

“Vending commerce” is joining the contactless commerce conversation. While product vending machines have been a staple in airport terminals for years, Dawn Dickson, Founder and CEO of PopCom, believes implementation will reach new heights in the digital-driven era of retail.   During this episode, Dawn makes her case for the vending machine’s powerful role in the customer journey. In fact, she believes it will add new value as shoppers look for more seamless and self-guided experiences and retailers seek more in-depth data about their consumers’ omnichannel behaviors.

She is a "light worker", tech mogul, and founder/CEO of PopCom, an automated retail company that uses artificial intelligence, blockchain and other Web 3.0 technologies to help retailers collect and leverage valuable customer insights through smart vending technology. Her ventures include Flat Out of Heels, Lifestyle Cafe, and PopCom, a software as a service company, after identifying a need to make vending machines more intelligent.Dawn reminds us in this episode that only solutions scale.  And also that who you build with is often more important than the solution.

This “me first power” isn't selfish but self FULL. Because empty cups don't overflow. And empty vessels certainly can't fill others.This is a really info-rich and high energy conversation that focuses on three areas to empower founders: knowing your purpose, your people, and your POWER.

Good friend of the show, entrepreneur, investor and incurable blockchain technology fanatic, Simon Dingle, joins Andile Masuku and Musa Kalenga to chat through three big questions: 1) What are we to make of Jumia’s much-publicised New York Stock Exchange listing? 2) Is blockchain technology as full-safe as we are often led to believe? 3) How excited should we be about PopCom founder, Dawn Dickson, becoming the first black woman to raise over $1 million for her company via a security token offering? Regular listeners of this podcast will know that during our in-studio episodes Andile, Musa and a guest normally highlight and briefly unpack as many as ten important ecosystem developments before tackling a discussion topic. But, in response to feedback we've been receiving from our audience, we’re changing things up a little. Going forward, our in-studio flagship recordings will only cover three big questions, giving us to us a chance to discuss issues more thoroughly. Do enjoy the show and be sure to let us know what you make of the changes to the format. Image credit: Aditya Vyas
