Mandy and Kate chat with podcaster and Pea Simone, entrepreneur and founder of On-Plug, the soon-to-be-released world's first marketplace to buy and sell products and services made exclusively by entrepreneurs who have disabilities, neurodiverse conditions, chronic illnesses and their caregivers. Simone's son Josh was born with a rare kidney disease that required a transplant at age 5 and was subsequently diagnosed with autism and an intellectual disability. Her second child was also born at 25 weeks and spent seven months in NICU. Simone became an entrepreneur as she wanted to be known as more than just the ‘mum of the sick kid' and she also needed the type of flexibility that the standard workplace can't offer. Plus wanted to unleash her creativity, do something for herself and also create opportunities for her own kids to become entrepreneurs in the future. Simone has also started the On-Plug podcast to start conversations about disability and entrepreneurship, while the On-Plug marketplace will be coming soon in 2023. Enterpreneurship is a meaningful employment pathway for people with disabilities, chronic illnesses, and their carers, and Simone strongly believes we need to be talking more about it, plus plugging all the amazing businesses people are running.

What do you get when you roll popular adages together like: Eat Healthy, Support Local, Farm to Table and Kid Friendly? The answer is Pure and Simple…Market, that is! Alacia Parker and her husband, Aleks, recently established Pure and Simple Market, a kid-friendly grocery & convenience store in downtown Coweta. Why? They saw a need in their community and decided to jump on the chance to create a one-stop-shop market that simplifies the grocery shopping experience while working to connect families with farmers and food producers who are close to home. And of course, creating a kid friendly space was especially important because they have four young kids themselves!
Ryan Allen went from working in a small jewelry shop while looking to get placed as a full time fire fighter in South Florida, to seeing a need in the industry. Ryan noticed internet sales were up in his space, but brick and mortar were closing. He then set out to create a online market place connecting jewelers and customers in a transparent and fair fashion, where Jewelers can scale their business online and customers get the best custom quality pieces...all while still working this job as a firefighter. What I love most about interviewing and hearing his story, was how he executed on his vision. This is a great inspiring story for anyone who has a dream of turning a side hustle into their dream career.

In our conversation this week, Sarah Dusek chronicles her lessons in scaling success– how she, together with her husband, founded and scaled Under Canvas to a leading U.S. Adventure business – what failed, what she learned, and how she embraced the act of failing faster. Still, less than 2% of women get funded annually out of all the venture capital money that gets deployed- and according to Sarah, “if the only people who are building businesses are men, the world is going to not serve all of us, and we're not gonna build for all of us. We're gonna continue to perpetuate the inequalities that exist in our world today, and we're gonna not solve some of the biggest challenges of our time" In this episode, you'll learn… Scaling success: how Sarah's wake-up call created a pivot from an NGO to co-founding a leading business in adventure glamping in the U.S.… The Basics: If you fail, you learn, and if you learn, you grow– how did failing fast enable Sarah to morph into a self-thought businesswoman?

Limiting beliefs are negative thoughts that we have about ourselves and our abilities. They can hold us back and prevent us from achieving our goals and reaching our full potential. Some common examples of limiting beliefs include: "I'm not good enough," "I'm not smart enough," "I don't have the right skills," or "I do not have time for that." These beliefs can be deeply ingrained and difficult to overcome, but it is important to recognize and challenge them in order to move forward. To overcome limiting beliefs, it is helpful to identify the specific thoughts that are holding you back and work on reframing them in a more positive and empowering way using your Clifton Strengths. This can involve seeking support from others (accountability partners), setting small, achievable goals, and practicing self-compassion and self-acceptance. By addressing your limiting beliefs and holdbacks, you can free yourself from self-imposed limitations and achieve greater success and fulfillment in your life.

This episode is a true tribute of thanks. Greg Hoyt, owner of Rustica Bakery, has believed in our mission from the beginning as our first and longest sponsor of The View in Your Mirror. An entrepreneur born and raised in Southern California and the islands of Hawaii, Greg has a story that is best told in a coffeehouse. This special episode was recorded, live, in house at Rustica Bakery Edina. Originally a student of music, Greg's career in entrepreneurship started in 1993 at Minnesota founded, Caribou Coffee, after learning that he had stage fright with music performance. It was through his experiences there that he was motivated and inspired to build something of his own as he watched Caribou build through a meaningful mission. In 2009, after a conversation over a baguette with the original Rustica Bakery owner, Steve, Greg joined the business to truly make Rustica the neighborhood craft bakery it is today. Greg opened the doors to specialty coffee and found a niche that became DOGWOOD coffee. In 2015, Greg became full owner. Greg has expanded his passion for entrepreneurship in the food ecosystem space through his establishment Gather Venture Group. This investment fund provides resources for emerging food and beverage brands. Though this podcast shares the story of our favorite local bakery and coffeehouse, it is so much deeper than that. This is an episode for all the emerging and established entrepreneurs, for the life-long learners, and for the individual who could use a reminder of how to look at failures as successes. This is truly a podcast for everyone. We are so thankful to Rustica and we wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving. Our Non-Profit Spotlight is Bricks to Bread who help build brick ovens for Costa Rican families seeking a sustainable source of income, while bringing communities together. __ Connect with Katie Harms @ katie@katieharms.com or Lisa Rubin @ lisa@wardobeconsulting.net.

From Pocket Money to (Financial) Portfolio Management, an individual comes a long way in terms of managing money. For something not taught in schools, this is too precious a life skill to miss. Some of us learn with exposure, some of us struggle, while most just wing it. Having said that, it is still unattainable for a lot of women across the globe, thanks to the to notion that women can't manage money. In this episode, our hosts tell us about their relationship with money, why women need to take control of their own finances, how new age organisations have been successful in spreading awareness and how it can be one of the ways women can empower themselves.You can reach out to Navya on her Instagram @navyanandaFind the show across Audio PlatformsIVM Podcasts | Apple | Spotify | Google | JioSaavn | Gaana | Amazon MusicCheck out our YouTube ChannelShow Merch is available at the IVM Merch StoreThis show is empowered by Bumble in India.App | InstagramDo follow IVM Podcasts on social media.We are @IVMPodcasts on Facebook, Twitter, & Instagram.You can listen to this show and other awesome shows on the new and improved IVM Podcasts App on Android or iOS.

Introduction: Welcome to Five & Thrive: a weekly podcast highlighting the Southeast's most interesting news, entrepreneurs, and information of the week, all under 5 minutes. My name is Jon Birdsong and I'm with Atlanta Ventures. Beta Product of the Week: This week's Beta Product of the week is led by serial entrepreneur, David Moeller. The name of his company is called Keep Technologies and their main product is called Knight. If you live in a major city, car break-ins are a dime a dozen. Keep Technologies has built a hardware product that sits in a cup holder and does everything from deterring thieves from approaching the vehicle, to record video of the crime, to notify the owner, and provide continual monitoring after the break-in. Knight's design is simple with a natural logo - a chess knight – and the pre-orders are racking up. Keep an eye out for Keep Technologies. Link in bio. Companies Worth Applying To: An exciting opportunity in the construction software space has opened up. RedTeam headquartered in Orlando, which recently acquired paskr out of Nashville, is looking for a VP of Sales. I remember speaking to the founder of paskr years ago and remembering how good their product was and solving a deep and validated need in the market – and most of the sales then were founder-led. Now through an acquisition and growth capital provided by Braemont Capital, RedTeam is ready to step on the gas with the addition of a talented and experienced VP of Sales. This role is remote and a superb opportunity to take a strong product to market. Another company worth applying to is also out of Nashville and this company is called Lasso. Angela Alea is the President and CRO. Lasso's software helps run live events. Their customers produce events including the Super Bowl, The Oscars, The Grammys, Dreamforce, and more by offering 6 different products that unify event staff management tasks into one easy workflow via scheduling, communication, onboarding, time tracking, and more. They were on this year's Inc 5000 list and looking for a VP of Sales, Engineering talent, Dev Ops and more. Events to Put on the Calendar: I know we're only in September but what better time to start planning for October as it is a very busy one in Atlanta. The Metro Atlanta Chamber put together a good list of several keystone events including Venture Atlanta, Fintech South, A3C, TechStars Demo Day, and much more. We put a link to the list. Pick and choose as there are plenty of great options. Question of the Week: Can entrepreneurs be made? This is a topic we discuss a lot out of Atlanta Ventures and with our friends. Here's my take: entrepreneurship levels are on a continuum, almost no different than athletes. Can athletes be made? Sure. Are some predisposed to winning championships because of natural God-given ability? Absolutely. However, when we hone in on entrepreneurs, I believe there are thousands who would go start a company if the mechanisms were there. For example, this past weekend, I spent all weekend with a new friend from Nashville. He is one of the top sales reps at a large enterprise SaaS company, does very well, yet in addition to trouncing quota, he has several AirBnB's, a side blog on food, traditional real estate, and a few other entrepreneurial outlets. So he is already an athlete, he is already an entrepreneur. Now the question resides with every person who wants to build a company or any athlete pursuing a sport, how much sacrifice and commitment is one willing to make to achieve their ambitions. So now we just brought in three other factors: ambition (which is a huge one), commitment, and sacrifice. If you are a top sales rep or performer, it doesn't have to be in sales, at a premier SaaS company, and you have the itch to start something, those are all factors weighing in on your decision to startup something. Fortunately in today's environment, where companies are started quickly in thousands of niche markets, there are several options than traditional routes. More on that in due time!

Introduction: Welcome to Five & Thrive: a weekly podcast highlighting the Southeast's most interesting news, entrepreneurs, and information of the week, all under 5 minutes. My name is Jon Birdsong and I'm with Atlanta Ventures. Y'all we did shorten the intro as time is just too precious. Product of the Week: There are two products of the week worth highlighting. First is a company call Nauvus which is one simple platform to book load, manage expenses and get paid when it comes to freight and trucking. Still early, but the grand vision is to be a universal freight network & payment solution for trucking companies and the independent dispatchers that support them all in an effort to maximize revenue and reduce cost. Check out Nauvus and if you're into logistics and payments. The second product of the week is called Givsly. This company has created software that makes it really simple to infuse social good into your marketing. Let's say Arby's wants to promote a new sandwich and wants to put a social good twist on the campaign. Enter Givsly that provides the tools, services, and reporting capabilities companies can connect with causes and produces seamless campaigns to increase revenue and giving. Check out Givsly if you want to add a charitable spin to your go to market efforts. Quiet Giant: This week's QuietGiant raised a growth equity round in June and the company is called Inductive Health. According to LinkedIn there are approximately 60 employees and Inductive Health brings disruptive technologies to the public health informatics arena to lower the costs of integration and large-scale analysis of health data – probably a pretty timely tool over the last two and half years. From the looks of it, they have been bootstrapped and the PE firm that infused growth capital is called Diversis and they are out of Los Angeles. Another fantastic example of a Quiet Giant, right off Clairmont road, that is nearly another 10 year over night success story. All you folks out there building Quiet Giants, keep at it! Question of the Week: Can billion dollar businesses be built on nice to have products? This is the question that was posed last week in a conversation with an entrepreneur we talked to in Miami. The call that was supposed to last 30 minutes and wove towards an hour as we shared our thoughts on the differences between nice to have products versus need to have products — which is such a fascinating discussion. The short answer is: at some point the product must become a need to have in the person or company's business, if not significant churn will result and it will not become an extraordinarily valuable business. I'll never forget the moment years ago, when I was speaking to a CEO who had about 30 sales reps at the time, share how Salesloft had transformed his sales team and that it was a must have for them to operate. Yet, for the 18 months beforehand, they piece-mealed the workflow on spreadsheets and free email accounts. So I asked: “when did you finally realize Salesloft was a must have for your business?” Two things had occurred in the business: one the pain point of having so many sales reps on his team that the manual process was costing the business too much not to have it. 2) It took a sales rep to uncover that realization and educate the company that there is a better way. Fortunately, Salesloft is tied directly to ROI which makes the case that much more compelling. There is a continuum of nice to have vs. need to have products but at some point in the customer's life span, the product must turn into a need to have. Raise a Glass: Nashville based SoundStripe just raised their Series B led by TopMark Partners out of Tampa and includes existing investors most notably David Sacks of Craft Ventures. SoundStripe “keeps creators creating” with a plethora of royalty-free music, videos, and sound effects. Now, creators to corporations can pay a simple subscription fee and not have to worry about licensing rights, copyright infringements, and more. To date, the startup has issued more than 10 million licenses for tens of thousands of customers in more than 140 countries – cha ching! Started in 2016, SoundStripe out of Nashville, fills the seemingly ideal narrative for fast growing software company out Music City. Annnnd, that's 5 minutes.

Welcome to Five & Thrive: a weekly podcast highlighting the Southeast's most interesting news, entrepreneurs, and information of the week, all under 5 minutes. My name is Jon Birdsong and I'm with Atlanta Ventures. — Raise Your Glass: Shout out to Sean, Taylor, Peyton, and all the team members at SingleOps for raising $74M from FTV capital. Sean wrote a heartfelt post on the SingleOps website that we link to in the show notes. This story is so exciting for me because five or so years ago, Sean and I sat down when he just moved into his new office on the West side of Atlanta and did a long form interview. Pictures were taken and the team wasn't that big at the time. Now fast forward years later, the progress and growth is truly inspiring. We'll link to that interview as well for all the folks who are students of the game. Blog Post of the Week: We share several blog posts a week in the Atlanta Ventures slack channel on trends, market analysis, and compelling companies. The one shared this week that had several interesting insights was from Elad Gil. Elad is a sharp mind from the valley who has built and invested in several companies. His most recent blog post is titled: Startup Markets, Summer 2022 Edition. The high-level takeaway is that things have yet to truly get bad in private tech, yet if interest rates rise and money supply tightens, then things will get worse before they get better, which is a high probability. Elad then goes into what he predicts the next few quarters will look like. First are valuations: he states “we are in a “sliding knife” market and things have only partially propagated into earlier and earlier companies and that will continue from later stage rounds all the way to Seed over the next 3-9 months. Another aspect to reiterate is around metrics and speed. Companies are being analyzed on burn multiple and capital efficiency. As mentioned on Episode 3 of Five and Thrive, the Rule of 40 is a good metric to evaluate. The next segment on this post that stuck out was to expect structured or down rounds and even shared that Facebook and Stripe had down rounds which proves it does not mean it's the end of the world. That is an interesting insight. Another segment includes layoffs which we will continue to see not just over the next 3 months but next 6-9 because more companies will be adjusting to the probable revenue deceleration. With greater layoffs comes a natural refocus on culture, customers, and the core mission. One of his last segments is M&A. Look for more of it 6-18 months from now. Several companies will be looking to sell versus “trudge along indefinitely.” And if a recession hits, look for everything to come down even more: growth rates, valuations, longer sales cycles, and more. Finally, Elad ends the post on a positive note when he states that several great companies started in poor, macro economic times: Apple and Microsoft started in the stagflation era of the 70's, Cisco started on Black Monday, and of course all the decacorns that started right after the financial crisis of 2008 and 09. His final line: “it's still a good time to build.” Couldn't agree more. Companies Worth Applying To: Blair Chenault, CEO of Flashtract, put out on LinkedIn: “Career Catapult Opportunity” and I like that title so much I may borrow or steal it, Blair. Anyways, it's been documented and recorded. Blair and the Flashstract team are hiring SDR's all over the country: East coast, West coast and everywhere in between. I can't recommend Blair and the Flashtract team enough. If you're looking to accelerate your career in sales, join them. Annnnd, that's 5 minutes. Thank you for listening to Five and Thrive.

Introduction: Welcome to Five & Thrive: a weekly podcast highlighting the Southeast's most interesting news, entrepreneurs, and information of the week, all under 5 minutes. My name is Jon Birdsong and I'm with Atlanta Ventures. Real Realestate: LinkedIn and Twitter have been laced with debates around the future of office space since the pandemic began. Predicting the market cycle for commercial real estate exceeds the current ambition on this podcast however we do have a sound data point regarding startups and early stage companies. Aly Merritt, the MD of the ATV and I chatted amongst the hustle and bustle of the Kula coffee line yesterday. As of this recording, there are over 1200 members and 300 companies. Since the pandemic, this is the first time a waitlist has re-formed at the ATV. Aly described the new work experience which I'm paraphrasing “companies are using the Village as a natural addition to their work experience. Folks may come in later or leave earlier, but there is way more foot traffic and people working on the weekends as well.” The fluidity of the ATV is always exhilarating. We have companies moving out and moving in every 30-60 days but overall the office is definitely back…but it is back on the terms of the entrepreneurs and employees. Company Coming Up: For this week's Company Coming Up, this Atlanta entrepreneur has an innovative approach to host kitchens. That's right, host kitchens not ghost kitchens. FranklinJunction is the name and Rishi Nigam is the CEO. What is a host kitchen and how does Franklin Junction leverage them? They match underutilized restaurants, called Host Kitchens, with restaurant brands looking for rapid expansion through delivery. Each restaurant benefits because it involves "capital-free revenue growth for both partners." Franklin Junction works with about 30 brands such as Nathan's Famous, Hooters, and David Chang's Fuku. These brands make their products through approximately 250 host kitchens currently in production. Now, Franklin Junction owns the revenue from each sale, and then pays everyone else a cut. They are still early but definitely a company coming up! Blog Post of the Week: Transitioning to the Blog of the Week: Ergeon's Pitch Deck Teardown. This comes from TechCrunch and we admire it for several reasons. First, Ergeon is a fence building company, headquartered out of California but they just launched in Georgia – the market is massive. The previous founder of Upwork, Jenny He is on to her next act so you know it will be good. They just raised $53M after being at it for 4 stealthy years of serious first mover advantage. If you are a student of business model disruption as well as want to know how to tell a Series B story with a top notch pitch deck, click on the link in the show notes. Product of Week: Transitioning to the Product of the Week I spoke with the CEO of Storied Collection this week. They are actually pre-launch but this is a time in the company's journey that can be the most fun to connect with founders as you will get early access to services and even help shift the product. What is Storied Collection? There are over 10,000 castles across Scotland and the UK but they are really hard to find. Storied Collection is a collection of the finest castles, chateaux, and estates wrapped around a membership model. Micheal, their co-founder showed me the castle he is staying in for the British Open next month and it is sweet. Keep an eye for their launch or just send them an email today. Event of the Week: This week I attended ATLUnlocked at the Russell Center – which is so legit – Jay Bailey and team brought the energy and connectivity. Mayor Dickens kicked it off. There were entrepreneurs showing their products, food trucks, V-103, WAOK, good beer and delcious lemon ice – just all around greatness. Next week, StartupShowdown is next week. My colleague and Atlanta Ventures Partner, Kathryn O'Day is one of the judges. Link to the event in the show notes. Raise Your Glass: Prokeep, out of New Orleans just raised $9M lead by IronSpring Ventures. Prokeep is simple messaging made for distributors between contractors. Cheers to NOLA bringing the heat!
