He just wanted to get a job at Netscape, But he failed as he was not good at interpersonal communication. As a result, he decided to code and founded Zip2, which was later acquired by Compaq for $307 million. Musk earned his first bucket of gold. Then, with a firm goal and eternal passion, Musk entered the rocket, automobile, and solar energy industries. He created a huge business empire worth about $30 billion in 12 years. How did Elon Musk become so successful? The answer is, it is through access to exponential technology in various fields, including the Internet, clean energy, and space exploration. Exponential technology refers to any technology that develops on an exponential growth curve and multiplies its power regularly. This explanation may still sound abstract. Let’s look at some examples. In technology or business news, we often hear or read about technologies like 3-D printing, cloud services, artificial intelligence, and genomics. These are all exponential technologies. In this book, the authors Peter H. Diamandis and Steven Kotler elaborate on the methods of using exponential technology to build successful businesses. They also share their own entrepreneurial experience and introduce several critical exponential tools. If you’re a reader with a goal of becoming an entrepreneur, you can get practical entrepreneurial advice from this book. Alternatively, if you’re a regular reader, you can still get a better understanding of this fast-changing world.

Solve this mystery: Why does it cost three times as much to rent a U-Haul going from San Francisco to Austin than going in the other direction?Answer: When all the movers are heading one direction (SF to Austin), you have to pay somebody to drive them back.Lawrence McQuillan, a Senior Fellow and Director of the Center on Entrepreneurial Innovation at the Independent Institute, connects the dots in his new report on California's dysfunctional housing policy. How to Restore the California Dream explains how the “Golden State” became the poster child for high housing costs and, relatedly, homelessness. Through a combination of regulations, zoning taxes, and higher labor costs associated with union requirements, we've pushed thousands of low and middle-income residents to other states (or in the extremes, to the streets). Lawrence finds that California would need another 4 million additional housing units just to stabilize prices, yet this is impossible given the amount of red tape.As lower income people look for cheaper and cheaper housing, they crowd out those already living on the edge. Thus the homelessness has become a state of emergency.Last time I had Lawrence on my show, we discussed California's pension crisis. This Sunday, we'll discuss housing and homelessness, and how a proposed Constitutional amendment could resolve the affordability crisis.Finally, I ask Lawrence to define a “housing shortage,” which I argue cannot exist by definition. Are exorbitant housing costs simply the price we pay for living the California Dream?

Benjamin Powell stopped to talk about his book that he co-authored with Robert Lawson, Socialism Sucks: Two Economists Drink Their Way Through the Unfree World. Their goal was to reach people, learn about socialist policies on the ground, and OK… have a good time! Beer turned out to be a good starting point, but we explore much more like what are the actual measures of socialism, capitalism, and communism? We compared hotels vs Airbnb in Cuba, Georian wine, and the more dire situations in North Korea and Venezuela. Nonetheless, this was a fun episode, with a dash of Austrian Economics.

SESSION SUMMARY: The craft beer industry is comprised of many brave men and women who weren't afraid to throw caution to the wind and take a gigantic leap into the unknown when they decided they wanted to open a brewery. It's this type of dedication to one's vision that has helped this industry grow, survive, and thrive. With the launch of 7,400+ breweries and counting in the United States are the many ancillary businesses that not only promote the craft beer scene, but help entrepreneurs with all manner of wild ideas start successful enterprises as well. Platforms such as blogs, books, websites, podcasts, documentaries, and educational services...as well as companies offering products like bottle openers, can coozies, t-shirts, hats, and huge varieties of beer swag all have a chance to play a factor in the evolution of craft beer culture.One company doing just that and more is First Sip Brew Box. First Sip is a monthly subscription service where beer-related goods are delivered right to your door. Each box contains anything from t-shirts, glassware, chapstick, BBQ sauces made with beer, and much more. Today on the podcast, Jason Cercone sits down with one half of the First Sip power team, Dennis Guy.Dennis shares how he and his wife Samantha came up with the idea for First Sip Brew Box and how it came after a journey down the path of opening a brewery. When they realized it wasn't going to be financially feasible to bring a new brewery to the market, they pivoted and created a service that allows them to partner with breweries and promote all the good they're bringing to the scene. Dennis is one of the most positive people you'll ever encounter and the conversation throughout this interview dives deep into entrepreneurial mindset, what it takes to keep that positivity when negative energy beats down your door seemingly every day, and why it's important to embrace every step of the process it takes to build a successful small business. A great deal of Dennis's motivation comes from the values his mother instilled in him throughout his life. You'll hear the story of how he and his wife received a small business loan, an accomplishment that took place just days before his mother passed away. It's truly an inspirational story that all of us can relate to in some way, shape, or form. Dennis is a veteran of the US Army and recently participated in a Pennsylvania Commonwealth-wide collaboration beer that saw 20 veteran-owned breweries come together as one. The beer went live on Memorial Day Weekend 2019 at each of the participating breweries. The US Army also filmed a short video about Dennis, the values he gained from his mom's strong will, and the growth of First Sip Brew Box. You can check out that video here: https://youtu.be/Ar5IUbGw1ggIf you are looking to start a project of any size, whether it be a bar, a brewery, a podcast, a blog, or anything else that requires entrepreneurial mindset, this is a podcast you don't want to miss.If you'd like to learn more about First Sip Brew Box, here are the links:Website | Facebook | Instagram | TwitterMUSIC CREDIT: All music heard on today's session of the Breaking Brews Podcast is courtesy of purple-planet.com

Nick is developing a smart asthma management patent pending technology.  He currently is getting a Masters of Business Administration in Healthcare at the Fox School of Business and Management Temple University. What we will discuss on today’s show:   Nick is developing a smart asthma management patent pending technology. He is currently getting a Masters of Business Administration in Healthcare at the Fox School of Business and Management Temple University. We talk to Nick about his personal story, background and what he is doing to help people. He also tells us why he got into the business of asthma management. Our in-depth interview also touched on sales and distribution channels and the strategy for building it out in the future and raising money, pivoting from the initial design, how to commercialization and various go to market strategies. For Nick, it’s about solving problems not just coming up with a rockstar idea. As a child asthma impacted Nick sending him to the nurse’s office and to the hospital. He dealt with it and played sports actively. We also talked to him about targeting the end user and making key changes on the device from feedback. The first version was going to be a necklace piece of jewelry but he had to pivot and iteract quickly. He first pitched the idea to solve the problem to help people find out and learn more about asthma at a Jefferson Hospital Health Hackathon sponsored by Blue Cross Blue Shield. He created a real rough prototype and pitched it to the judges. With the original prototype he needed to pivot and made changes. His team consists of a biomedical engineer now an MD, neurologist at Jefferson Hospital and lead technologist. A software engineer from the hardware side. It’s not a diagnostic test like sounds of your lungs for asthma management. Nick did online asthma surveys as well as in person. Determined that a necklace with an adhesive type of device was not going to work but a chest strap idea would work better as it was able to stay clean so the process of iteration and leverage and focusing on what the end user really wanted was key as they came up with rapid prototyping. So how do they plan on patenting the technology and raise money? It’s all about leveraging resources – the group first went to the Drexel Law Club who work with entrepreneurial early stage startups but they did not have an FDA focus on technologies.  However, Temple University Institute of Entrepreneurial Innovation helped provide a local patent attorney. Strados Labs won a business competition this past spring and received an in-kind gift for that patent attorney which was provided pro bono to help them with the provisional patent.  It was sponsored by Be Your Own Boss Bowl competition. In additional to working with intellectual law firm Ceaser Rivise Temple University provides Strados Labs with working space.  They college creatively packages these resources together in one bucket so that startup entrepreneurs can leverage all the resources.  The competition provides three tracks: undergrad, grad, faculty, social tracks. Strados came in second only for Nick to lose to his professor. Ellen Weber is the Director of the Temple University Institute for Entrepreneurial Innovation who work with other venture capital firms like Benjamin Franklin Technology Partners , Robinhood, Mid-Atlantic Ventures who work with startups We discussed the prototype and patent as well as  how the company will get the technology to their end users, distributing and selling the technology.  They anticipate having the provisional patent filed by the end of this year.  Once the provisional patent has been filed  with their end claims which give them first file rights if someone else comes up with the concept the first to file has a better claim to the idea.  Strados Labs will have 12 months to spend finalizing the software and hardware algorithms – When dealing with a patent it’s important to note what a company can say and what they keep secret It comes down to what is proprietary or internal v what they can mention to the public.  We know the company is developing a wearable device but they keep the sound capture feature private. Their goal is to provide extra value in this narrow niche. Focus on those end users to help them manage their asthma, provide advice and feedback from the device, survey done signs symptoms of an asthma attack of wheezing – sometimes wheezing starts slowly in lungs and you try through your own will to identify those signs and alerting them it’s not a diagnostic but alert something is happening to them alert to phone and message to parent or someone else take inhaler stop exercises breath deeply its an alert monitor track and monitor on back end but focus now is on front end – how they are bringing in people to do research – test it – market service – white papers how asthma needs to be better managed and that 2/3 can be prevented by not medicines but just managing it better – market research targeting asthmatics online forum Reddit American asthma foundation aaii – healthcare, MBA take quick survey for feedback to validate get qualitative information on people’s condition some type of technology to better manage people’s disease work with asthma research in NY how environment effects and how such technology would help doing focus groups up in Harlem pre-testing phase using this technology get feedback early then use it for testing. We asked about some of the challenging moments the company has faced as a new startup and Nick being a business leader  – they are entering a high regulatory, high barrier, high capital intensive business and also managing individuals.  Nick working his day job and doing this at night and on weekends also while he was in California during the summer while the doctor neurologist was back in the Philadelphia area.  Nick had to find the time and make sure he was communicating effective and quickly needed to find the right people and manage the work stream and also maintain his current job. What wanted to know what contributes to his success – he said a relationship with his co-founders the neurologist and although Nick is the face of Strados Labs his co-founder makes things smooth when running ideas past him or acting as a sounding board for being a devil’s advocate which balances the good with the bad.  Its good to be positive but things are not always rosy so his co-founder is a good balance keeping him well grounded. Insurance reimbursement of the device for asthma management. The problem is that once a year people with asthma can be admitted to the ER with cost of $2500 and where it costs $20,000 a device for their solution $150 bucks can reduce risk to go to hospital and reduce those high-risk individuals by 60% less reduce asthma and reduce potential death or going to ER.  The plan on having the insurance company reimburse  through ins company and promoted by doctor hard time managing we will provide you pluma ware system reimbursed end users, not the person using it but doctors new business development force Build a relationship with insurance area health technology comp who work with Medicaid and chronic diseases – use reminders to become more engaged with asthma management to leverage their device to partner with health systems improve health understand educate them innovation partnership spoke at hackathon non-hackathon sponsored by BCBS. Advice for others he gives – to startup overwhelming most common mistakes students or preventing them from starting – coming up with a rockstar idea best idea and they stop if they think it’s not the best – for him ideas change so much focus on problem and improvement upon those issues or problems – he started with wanting to solve the problem now is developing the solution focus on problems v ideas – Recurring themes resources – help – people here to help – at top-ranked entrepreneurial program Philadelphia meet ups network events talk to them about ideas – Philly startup leaders – new in CC – new tech meetup Philly – leverage through temple Univer entrepreneur network summer studio incubator reach out to those you know in entrepreneurship – intellectual property hardship creating things v creating apps people want to invest in electrons v atoms – Fully functional is challenge for things apps that is coding but here you have to build it and test it so more difficult to get funding federal grant challenging to get through Kickstarter IndieGoGo developing things medical devices – if he knew about these resources 6 months ago – doesn’t want to fail but will now know them federal funds natural science foundation SBIR funding process dept of engineer institute of health all have funds for small business who want to start businesses who will help him write the grants trying to leverage innovation partnership through the small business association dev a tech national science foundation and they like your idea resources pre-proposal key components of stuff and how to develop commercialization of it Voucher stipend to write grant, someone, to help SBIR agency to send to – Lightning round sponsored by audible. A book Nick recommends – The Alchemist, written by Paulo Coelho de Souza – It’s about an individual on his journey to find a treasure. His entire motivation as a shepherd is to be rich but he goes on journey not where you get but how you get there he ends up the same – for him, it’s about the journey what he has learned and get to place he wants to go and help asthma Three take-aways from show:     Don’t be afraid to ask questions even as a new entrepreneur just talk to people about your idea to many people get caught up it being secreative or having to much concern about signing NDA, your idea will get stronger if you talk more about it; Focus on who you are working with, some people want to work with their friends but be careful who you work with and who you bring onto your team they might have a certain skill set but focus on the person beyond just their skill set and make sure it’s aligned with your vision; Have fun it’s an exciting journey, it’s risky but just be smart.
