All the more reason why I think being part of Masterminds is so important.  If ever you're interested in more on that, just send me a dm or email and I'd be happy to talk about that.So buckle up and get ready to fly across the pond to visit Ireland, with Thomas Barret, Co-Founder of My Ireland Box.  Guest Links:Megan MacNeill's LindeIn Course On LinkedIn: https://relevant-personal-branding.thinkific.com/?ref=fbfbc7 Julie Ball's Subscription Box Bootcamp 2.0 Course Link:https://ericmusick.krtra.com/t/h67apnWbBQ9cThe Subscription Box Experts Academy Course Link: https://ericmusick.krtra.com/t/jIw4to2rXSoQ Host Links:The Subscription Box Show Website: https://www.thesubscriptionboxshow.comConnect with Eric Musick: https://www.thesubscriptionboxshow.com/contact2The Subscription Box Show Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/thesubscriptionboxshow.comEric Musick's email: eric@thesubscriptionboxshow.comEric Musick's Instagram: @thesubscriptionboxshow or https://www.instagram.com/thesubscriptionboxshowThe Subscription Box Show Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2960087864057955/To request being on TSBS, please book a call with Eric at: https://www.calendly.com/thesubboxshow

In this episode, we break down the truths, myths and reality about affiliates, affiliate management, and affiliate marketing. How you can better utilize affiliates for your subscription box business, with an expert on affiliates, founder of Tactical Marketing, Greg Powell!!Tactical Marketing was created by Greg Powell, an online marketing veteran of 13 years who has a passion for seeing companies go beyond their goals. In early 2013 Greg recognized there was an absolute void for agencies that serviced the outdoor/preparedness/self-reliance market. There were thriving business communities and passionate customer bases that were not being marketed to completely. This was being caused by a lack of understanding of those companies and their audience. Tactical Marketing was created to service this industry with cutting edge marketing solutions that reach customers in each area they go to for information and purchase decisions. Greg and his team are constantly learning new technologies and testing marketing practices to stay ahead of the curve. Their ultimate goal is to be an extension of your marketing team and help you achieve the goals you have set for your business. Greg Powell is a renowned Affiliate Expert in the ecommerce and subscription space.  He's been featured on the OMG Commerce podcast, Affiliate Bible, Online Queso, and has many popular clients in the subscription space that we all know and love.  Some of the companies that trust Greg and his team with their affiliate management include: Carnivore Club, BabeBox, Lobster Anywhere, BattlBox, Crate Club, Tubby Todd and many more.Guest Links:Greg's Free Affiliate Audit for YOUR business: http://www.tacticalmarketingco.com/program-audit Greg's Website: http://www.tacticalmarketingco.com/Frequent questions Greg gets asked from his customers: "How can we find more affiliates?"Who he would hire as a mentor/coach: Robert GlazerHis favorite quote: "Life is really simple but we insist on making it really complicated."The most influential person he knew in the subscription box industry: John RomanA type of product that Greg would stay clear of: Diet and supplement space His favorite subscription box: Carnivore ClubHis favorite social media platform: TwitterEmail: greg@tacticalmarketingco.comJulie Ball's Subscription Box Bootcamp 2.0 Course Link:https://ericmusick.krtra.com/t/h67apnWbBQ9cThe Subscription Box Experts Academy Course Link: https://ericmusick.krtra.com/t/jIw4to2rXSoQ Host Links:The Subscription Box Show Website: https://www.thesubscriptionboxshow.comConnect with Eric Musick: https://www.thesubscriptionboxshow.com/contact2The Subscription Box Show Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/thesubscriptionboxshow.comEric Musick's email: eric@thesubscriptionboxshow.comEric Musick's Instagram: @thesubscriptionboxshow or https://www.instagram.com/thesubscriptionboxshowThe Subscription Box Show Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2960087864057955/To request being on TSBS, please book a call with Eric at: https://www.calendly.com/thesubboxshow

In this episode I get into some “real” everyday problems.  Something every single one of us uses every day…  Any guesses?  I get into some real talk with CMO and Co-Founder of Reel Paper, Derin Oyekan! Reel Paper is an eco-friendly, 100% Bamboo toilet paper subscription service.  Deemed an essential business, Derin and the folks at Reel Paper are always busy, But probably more than usual after the record breaking toilet paper industry spike at the start of covid.Reel Paper co-founder and CMO, Derin Oyekan, grew up in Lagos, Nigeria. His early life experiences inspired the multi-faceted giveback that Reel Paper now provides with every sale of their 100% bamboo toilet paper.Today, Derin and Reel Paper give back, which is a huge part of their why.  Seeing first hand in his home country of Nigeria, what not having bathroom essentials can do is a big driver in Derin starting his company along with Livio Bisterzo.  Reel Paper wasn't the first to market for either toilet paper or eco-friendly toilet paper, yet today, Reel Paper is making a real difference.  Sorry, these puns are just too easy.  Just over a year and old, and Reel Paper, now makes the most sustainable, eco-friendly toilet paper on the market.

Welcome to the New Founders Series!  Where I interview some of the fastest growing new subscription box companies across the globe.  I want to highlight some new and exciting companies that although new, are growing fast and will share all the ways they ultimately got their subscription boxes off the ground while it is still very fresh in their mind.  I also want to explore their pain points and what are currently the biggest obstacles they're encountering in today's subscription landscape.  This is a great way to learn from entrepreneurs who are right in the thick of it right now, and learn what is working in 2020!  And on today's New Founders Series episode, I have the privilege of talking with a founder that literally just launched one calendar year ago.  Founder of Imagine Me Stories, Keisha Ehigie!Keisha Ehigie is a Nigerian-Jamaican mom who noticed that her young daughter was developing self-esteem issues when she couldn't see characters that looked like her, or reflected her reality, in the story books she was reading. She did her own research and discovered that only 1% of UK children's books had a Black main character.  She also discovered other troubling statistics that just didn't seem to add up in the book industry with minority ratios that she reveals in our conversation.

In this episode I have the pleasure of talking with Jake Tetreault, CEO and founder of God's Glory Box.  God's Glory Box was established in October 2015; however the website and actual product were not launched until their first box shipped on September 1, 2016.  Jake Tetreault became aware of the subscription box business model in 2015 through a good friend Colin Hatzmann , owner at Bullymake, and he became quite intrigued.  That's when his good friend Colin told him he should follow his passions.  That's when Jake decided he wanted to do something that involved one of his  passions.  Growing up a Catholic Christian, he instantly knew a Christian Subscription Box was a perfect fit, and aligned perfectly with his vision.God's Glory Box humbly began with 27 straight days of Zero customers, only to have 3 paying customers come through at the last second,after  a month of minimal Facebook ads.  They sent out the remaining 17 boxes that they had prepared for Instagram influencers in an attempt to get traction!Fast forward just four short years to 2020, and now God's Glory Box is a leader in the Christian Subscription Box space.  With over 10,000 subscribers, and over 34,000 members, they are definitely still growing.  The Subscription Box Experts Academy Course Link: https://ericmusick.krtra.com/t/jIw4to2rXSoQ Guest links:Jake's choice if he's going to hire a mentor/coach: Tai LopezWebsite e-commerce platform Jake uses: WooCommerce and WordpressThe most influential persons that Jake know in the subscription box industry: Colin Hatzmann from BullymakeHis favorite social media platform: InstagramEmail: admin@godsglorybox.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/GodsGloryBox/Website: https://godsglorybox.com/Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/godsglorybox/This episode is proudly sponsored by the Subscription Box Experts Academy course by Liam Brennan.  Want to learn how to scale up your subscription business?  Want to join a private community and Mastermind with other like minded entrepreneurs?

In this very special milestone episode, which is episode 50 of The Subscription Box Show, I have brought on my coach and mentor, Travis Chappell!Travis host's a top 25 business podcast called Build Your network where he's interviewed literally everyone in the business space, from Ed Mylett, Grant Cardone, John Maxwell, Tom Bilyeu, Amy Porterfield, JP Sears, Trent Shelton, Pat Flynn, Cole Hatter and has now over 400+ more episodes.  His guest list is second to none.  Travis has been featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur, Bigger Pockets, EOFire, Nasdaq and was named as a top ten podcast you have to listen to by none other than Joe Rogan.Travis will show you the importance of building your own network, the right way.  Networking is important in any business, no different in our industry.  There's a wrong way of networking, and Travis will tell you why who you know is more important than what you know.I first heard about Travis back in April of 2019 after John Lee Dumas politely declined my request for him to coach me.  I was pretty disappointed.  I really love everything JLD puts out there, and I really wanted him to coach me.  He did however give me something at the time I didn't know would change my life.  He gave me an intro to someone I had never heard of, but that he had coached himself.  He said, go and give Travis Chappell a listen, and get a hold of him while you still can.  Trusting JLD's recommendation, I immediately started to consume Travis's Podcast, Build Your Network...and voraciously.  I reached out to him shortly after and the rest is history.  I took his course, Explode you Network, then joined his Mastermind, went to his inaugural live event, and finally purchased his VIP coaching ticket. It was definitely the scariest investment in myself I had ever done, but also the most rewarding.  Fast forward one calendar year later, and I launched my first podcast. The Subscription Box Show on April 6, 2020.  Implementing Travis' coaching and leaning on his networking secrets, the podcast was able to hit the iTunes top "New Shows" list after just six days!  I owe a lot to Travis, so to say I'm excited to have him on is an understatement.  Travis has helped countless entrepreneurs grow their networks the right way!

In this episode, I have the pleasure of talking about all things subscription boxes with the Founder of BootayBag, Elly Gheno!BootayBag is a passion project by real women (for real women) who hate digging through mall sale bins for their undies.  Now I can honestly say that on a personal level, I don't know what she's talking about, but this is a real problem.  Since Elly launched BootayBag back in 2016, BootayBag has quickly become a top underwear subscription box for women around the world.  BootayBag is always ranked in the top 10 when it comes to underwear subscription boxes.  Top 3 in urbantastebud and mysubscriptionaddiction. And ranked #1 in 2020 by undywear.com.  They've also been featured on Buzzfeed, The Everygirl and Elly has even spoken at SubSummit, the world's largest Subscription conference/expo. Elly Gheno started her company with:Zero experience, and I mean zero.  No college degree, no business background, nothing.And $300.  She absolutely learned everything on the ground from her own experience.  Yes, I did say $300 by the way.  Unbelievable. Which is another big part of this episode.  Elly has been able to grow a community and culture that is second to none, and has created a loyal following who support and voice what is needed to keep growing the BootayBag brand!Guest Links:Her choice if he's going to hire a mentor/coach: Lauryn Evarts of The Skinny ConfidentialWebsite e-commerce platform that she currently use: ShopifyThe most influential persons that Elly know in the subscription box industry: John Haji, Paul Chambers and Christopher GeorgeElly's favorite subscription box: HelloFresh and Billie RazorHer favorite social media platform: InstagramWebsite: https://bootaybag.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bootaybag_/https://www.instagram.com/bootaybag_/This episode is sponsored by SUBTA, the Subscription Trade Association.

In this episode, I have the distinct honor to share with you, the Founder and CEO of Stately, Hiral Zalavadia.  Stately is a stylist-curated clothing subscription service for modern men. They partner with today's leading menswear brands to curate personalized packages of clothing for their members based on their style and preferences.Hiral Zalavadia is a former Georgetown Law graduate and corporate lawyer from New York and Los Angeles, Hiral knew he needed to look the part for both his clients and his white-shoe law firm. But, with his busy schedule he didn't have the time to go shopping. He started to look for services that would cater to his lifestyle, but wasn't pleased with any of the existing services that were out there. After hitting an inflection point in his legal career in 2018 and discovering a gap in the marketplace for stylist-curated clothing services for modern men, he decided that it was finally time to satisfy his lifelong urge to become a subscription-eur and he founded Stately.This episode is sponsored by SUBTA, the Subscription Trade Association.

On this episode, I have the pleasure to talk with Scott Fulbright, Co-Founder and CEO at Living Ink Technologies.Living Ink is a biomaterials company on a mission to use sustainable algae technologies to replace petroleum-derived products, such as ink. Living Ink are changing the way pigments are made by using algae as colorants for eco friendly Algae Ink™ products. In 2013, when Scott was a student at Colorado State University, it was brought to his attention that the majority of printing ink used in the world was produced from toxic petroleum products.  So today Living Ink is commercializing a black algae-based pigment that has a negative carbon footprint, bio-based, resistant to UV-light exposure and is safe.  In layman's terms, the process developed uses algae (yes- the tiny aquatic plant) instead of heavy petroleum oil.The company has since raised $1.5M from the National Science Foundation, and has received numerous honors from the U.S. Department of Energy, University of Colorado, Colorado State University, Biofuels Digest and Hello Tomorrow Challenge.Prior to Living Ink, Scott spent the last 12 years in the algae bioproducts industry, where he led research and development projects in both industry and academia. His research was directed at understanding the scale-up process in algae cultivation for biofuels and bioproducts. In industry, Scott worked at Valcent Products and Solix Algredients who raised $20M and $68M, respectively.  Scott is also a TedX speaker and has partnered with the United States Department of Energy, EcoEnclose, CO state, NSF and Plug and Play and now Lacoste.  The future is definitely bright for Living Ink and I would hope that in the very near future, they will be a leader when it comes to how packaging, textiles, printing and virtually everything you see out there is made.  The Subscription Box Show shareable Trailerhttps://www.thesubscriptionboxshow.com/podcast-1/blog-post-title-one-a3yprGuest Info:Scott's favorite quote: "If there is no struggle there is no progress." - Frederick DouglasScott's favorite subscription box: KiwiCrate (KiwiCo)Scott's favorite social media platform for him and for Living Ink: InstagramThe most influential persons that Scott know in the subscription box industry: Saloni Doshi and Kyle at EcoEncloseInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/livinginktech/10-minute TedTalk of Scott: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uAAegPkCKoHost Links:The Subscription Box Show Website: https://www.thesubscriptionboxshow.comConnect with Eric Musick: https://www.thesubscriptionboxshow.com/contact2The Subscription Box Show Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/thesubscriptionboxshow.comEric Musick's email: eric@thesubscriptionboxshow.comEric Musick's Instagram: @thesubscriptionboxshow or https://www.instagram.com/thesubscriptionboxshowThe Subscription Box Show Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2960087864057955/To request being on TSBS, please book a call with Eric at: https://www.calendly.com/thesubboxshow
