SummaryIn this first episode of the Fuel Podcast, hosts Tom Douglass and Grace Gill sit down with co-founders of Path Fertility, Andy Olson and Krisin Brogaard, to discuss their fascinating journey in transforming male reproductive health diagnostics. Andy and Kristin dive into the often-overlooked issue of male infertility, explaining how traditional sperm analysis just isn't cutting it anymore. As a result, they've come up with a cutting-edge solution that looks at sperm's epigenetic profiles to provide more accurate diagnoses and better treatment paths.The conversation explores their experience with the Fuel program in Northwest Arkansas, which has been a game-changer for Path Fertility. It's given them the tools to secure funding from thirty-three employers and has significantly boosted their company's growth. Along the way, both Andy and Kristin embraced the local community, which surprisingly enriched both their personal lives and business network. Kristin also shares exciting future plans for expanding their technology to livestock fertility, working with major artificial insemination groups, meaning Path Fertility is making big strides not just in human health, but also in helping the agricultural sector.Throughout the discussion, Andy and Kristin reflect on the lessons learned during the Fuel program, particularly the value of strong commercial partnerships and strategic planning.

SummaryDiscover how health tech companies are reshaping the future of medicine from Bentonville. In this special three-part series of The Bentonville Beacon, host James Bell meets with cohort members of this year's Fuel for Your Health Accelerator. James kicks off the episode with Grace Gill, Fuel's Operations Manager, who shares how this accelerator matches scalable health tech startups with key enterprise partners to expedite the adoption of their transformative medical technologies. Different from other programs, during each Fuel accelerator, high-growth startups from around the world benefit from programming and support focused on developing operational value and selling to large customers, rather than just venture capital coaching.This episode highlights several of Fuel's current cohort members and innovators, including TapRoot Interventions & Solutions Founder and CEO, Scarlett Spring, and Chief Clinical Officer, Dr. Linda Buscemi; Dart Health's Founder and CEO, Brian Sage; and SOAP Health's Founder and CEO, Dr. Steven Charlap.Phoenix, Arizona-based TapRoot Interventions & Solutions is a woman-owned technology company at the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI), dementia care and behavioral healthcare. With its revolutionary AI-powered digital platform, Ella, TapRoot is helping organizations and caregivers to improve care for those living with dementia through a person-centered approach.Denver, Colorado-based Dart Heath is reducing the cost of serving group healthcare by fixing the fundamentally broken exchange of data between group benefit providers and self-insured employers. Dart Health compiles disparate data sources from employers, providers, benefits administrators and claims, to portray a real individual with medical needs, effectively creating a single, secure, HIPAA-compliant, 350-degree view of a healthcare customer.Boca Raton, Florida-based SOAP Health offers the ideal medical AI assistant. SOAP Health enhances and integrates patient intake and note creation to significantly reduce time of documentation and symptom assessment, appreciably increase average revenue and reduce malpractice exposure.Thanks for tuning in!Show NotesTimestamps in this blog are for the audio-only version of the podcast; video timing differs.(0:54) Introduction to Grace Gill(2:55) What's Next for Fuel(5:19) How Fuel Partners with the Community(6:45) Fuel's Funders(7:13) Grace's #BecauseBentonville Story(9:24) Introduction to Scarlett Spring and Dr. Linda Buscemi(10:33) About TapRoot Interventions & Solutions(10:48) How Fuel and Bentonville Are Helping Scarlett and Dr. Buscemi(15:59) Scarlett's #BecauseBentonville Story(16:49) Dr. Buscemi's First Impression of Bentonville(17:42) Introduction to Brian Sage(19:46) About Dart Health(22:48) How Fuel and Bentonville Are Helping Brian(29:11) Brian's #BecauseBentonville Story(32:30) Introduction to Dr. Steven Charlap(35:10) About SOAP Health(38:38) How Fuel and Bentonville Are Helping Dr. Charlap(40:23) Closing Thoughts ‍LinksGrace Gill (grace@startupjukie.org)Fuel for Your Health AcceleratorScarlett Spring, EMBA (scarlett@taprootela.com)Linda Buscemi, PhD (linda@taprootella.com)TapRoot Interventions & SolutionsBrian Sage, MBADart HealthSteven Charlap, MD, MBA (scharlap@soap.health, 617-319-6434)SOAP HealthJames Bell, MBA Bentonville Economic DevelopmentGreater Bentonville Area Chamber of Commerce

Summary On this episode of Startup Junkies, hosts Victoria Dickerson, Jeff Amerine, and Grace Gill talk to Peter Mann, founder and CEO of Oransi. Oransi is a leading manufacturer of HEPA air purifiers and a motor technology company with a sustainable mission based in Radford, VA. Peter's passion for clean air began with his son who struggled with asthma. Conducting extensive research, he learned the significant impact of poor air quality on one's health. Peter aimed to create an affordable and accessible solution for others, thus, Oransi was born in 2009. Peter shares his passion for neurodiversity advocacy, and discusses how being on the autistic spectrum has impacted his career as an entrepreneur and the lack of awareness about neurodiversity in the workforce. He details how entrepreneurship may be a viable option for those on the spectrum rather than corporate jobs. Throughout the episode, Peter discusses his passion for marketing, clean air advocacy, and autism advocacy.    Show Notes (0:49) Introducing Peter Mann and Oransi (3:41) Maintaining a Competitive Edge (6:50) Strategies for Marketing Clean Air Energy (8:33) Making the Jump from Corporate to Entrepreneurship (12:48) Entrepreneurship on the Spectrum (24:29) Advice to Younger Self (25:16) Closing Thoughts    Links Victoria Dickerson Jeff Amerine Grace Gill Peter Mann Oransi   Quotes “There's been a lot of work recently in terms of raising awareness and education about the importance of indoor air. And there's a guy at Harvard who leads their healthy building program who says your facility or building manager has a bigger impact on your health than your doctor does.” - Peter Mann, (7:13) “We're really kind of, shockingly in some ways, in the early days of understanding the impacts of poor indoor air quality and what we're doing is really just trying to raise awareness for [the danger of that] as well as provide solutions that are affordable and accessible.” - Peter Mann,  (8:14) “For me, I think how I got to where I am is largely in part due to [being autistic] and that drive for autonomy. I don't know anyone who's autistic that worked their way up through a large organization to the top, but I know several folks that are autistic that started their own business…if your interest is work or producing new things or bringing products to market or working on problems, and that's where you get your energy, I think that's definitely an advantage.” - Peter Mann, (14:28) “You're going to work most of your life. You could have a fifty year career and you don't have to crush it in year one…and everything always takes longer so you have to have patience and be able to stick with it.” - Peter Mann, (24:38)

Summary Welcome to another great episode of the Startup Junkie Podcast! On this episode of Startup Junkies, hosts Caleb Talley, Jeff Amerine, and Grace Gill sit down with serial entrepreneur Lloyed Lobo, co-founder of Boast.ai, a company accelerating the success of innovation by helping eligible companies get quicker access to R&D tax credits. Lloyed has been involved in the startup ecosystem for more than fifteen years as an entrepreneur, community builder, and angel investor. Throughout the episode, Lloyed talks about dealing with his sharp rise to success, the power of having a tribe, and his Wall Street Journal bestseller From Grassroots to Greatness.   Show Notes (1:01) Introducing Lloyed Lobo (3:13) Lloyed's Origin Story (14:04) The Inspiration behind From Grassroots to Greatness (24:50) Balancing Resilience and New Opportunities (29:01) The Process of Idea Validation (39: 13) Advice to Younger Self (45:46) Closing Thoughts   Links Caleb Talley Jeff Amerine  Grace Gill Lloyed Lobo Boast.ai From Grassroots to Greatness   Quotes “...when we ask what entrepreneurship is today, it's all about making money. But to me, what entrepreneurship is, is taking an obscure idea to execution and impact while dealing with extreme risk. There's no bigger risk than being in the middle of a war. The other thing I learned was about leadership. Great leaders cascade purpose, not just goals.” - Lloyed Lobo, (5:50) “The only way to learn something that you suck at is to put yourself in an environment that forces you to do that something over and over again. Now, another key lesson here is the importance of the people you surround yourself with, right? You become the average of the people you surround yourself with.” - Lloyed Lobo, (9:59) “Every obscure idea that eventually went on to become this enduring global phenomenon had four stages in common. People listen to you or buy your product or service. You have an audience. When you bring that audience together to interact with one another, it becomes a community. Now, when the community comes together to create impact towards a greater purpose far greater than your product or profit, it becomes a movement. And when that movement has undying faith in its purpose through sustained rituals, over time it becomes a cult or religion. So audience, community, movement, religion.” - Lloyed Lobo, (20:59) “What I tell people is if you have an idea and you don't have an ideal customer profile, then figure out who you're going to serve. Understand their pains and goals, but also understand their aspirations because the aspiration is forever. Your customer problem or goal will give you the first product, but if you understand the customer's aspiration, then you will go on the journey of building your future products.” - Lloyed Lobo, (30:11)

SummaryIn this special two-part series on The Bentonville Beacon, host James Bell continues an engaging discussion featuring members of Fuel's 2023 Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Accelerator cohort. They spotlight Fuel's 12-week enterprise-ready accelerator program, which pairs seed- and growth-stage tech startups with key enterprise partners to fast-track the adoption of practical technology solutions. The program emphasizes operational value training over traditional venture capital pitch coaching. This episode highlights innovators from around the globe in the AI and ML sectors, along with their companies from various industries. Conversations include Dexter Caffey from Smart Eye Technology, Andrew Bart of AlgoFace, Mike Romeri at Analytics2Go and Kevin Butler from Edify.ai, who showcase their companies, their experiences through the Fuel Accelerator and their #BecauseBentonville stories, painting a vibrant picture of entrepreneurial growth and community connection.Show Notes(1:12) Introduction to Dexter Caffey and Smart Eye Technology(2:20) Dexter's surprise connection to Pharaoh Ramesses III(3:09) About Smart Eye Technology(6:22) Dexter's Experience with Fuel and Bentonville(11:14) Dexter's #BecauseBentonville Story(12:55) Introduction to Andrew Bart and AlgoFace(14:10) About AlgoFace(16:57) Andrew's Experience with Fuel and Bentonville(25:34) Andrew's #BecauseBentonville Story(28:14) Introduction to Mike Romeri and Analytics2Go(31:03) Mike's Experience with Fuel(32:32) About Analytics2Go(34:40) Mike's Experience with Bentonville(36:32) Mike's #BecauseBentonville Story(38:00) Introduction to Kevin Butler and Edify.ai(42:36) About Edify.ai(44:23) Kevin's Experience with Fuel(51:27) Kevin's #BecauseBentonville Story(54:24) Introduction to Grace Gill(56:05) The Evolution of Fuel(57:35) Fuel's Application Process(58:39) Closing ThoughtsLinksJames Bell Bentonville Economic DevelopmentGrace GillFuelDexter CaffeySmart Eye TechnologyAndrew BartAlgoFaceMike RomeriAnalytics2GoKevin ButlerEdify.aiQuotes“I had no intentions of moving [to Bentonville] when I first came here…but then I noticed that when you're here in Bentonville, it's a relationship town. It's about building relationships. So I recognized that through the program and told my wife we're going to be moving to Bentonville.” - Dexter Caffey, (10:19)“I'm looking to open an office [in Bentonville]. I'd like to have a presence here. That is very much on my immediate radar from both a talent acquisition perspective as well as the exposure to the Walmart epicenter and how unique it is to have that kind of sponsorship to the community.” - Andrew Bart, (21:41)“I'm sure I'm not the first one to say that the environment [in Bentonville] is a lot more professional, more experienced, and more innovative. It's just a series of superlatives where you don't expect someplace in Northwest Arkansas to bring together a group of innovative people from all over the world that can get things done.” - Mike Romeri, (35:39)“[Bentonville] is the sort of place where if you put yourself out there and ask for some help, people are more than willing to do so. It's obviously part of the mission and it's been extremely helpful for our company…and it's really opening up doors and leading to sales.” - Kevin Butler, (45:40)

Summary On this special episode of Startup Junkies, hosts Caleb Talley, Grace Gill, Darian Harris, Tom Douglass, and Louis Diesel head north to the Ledger in Bentonville, where they sit down with four of the participants in Fuel's AI and machine learning 2023 cohort.

By being part of the Fuel cohort, we have been able to get so many introductions in the Bentonville area, but I'm also seeing that the fact we are part of the Fuel program is resonating in other markets as well.” - Kannan Udayarajan, (7:27) “Certainly, everyone knows Walmart is here [in Bentonville], and there's a level of sophistication with Walmart, but I think the entire ecosystem is a very high-performing ecosystem. And I think there's sort of a community of interest here where people are trying to optimize the performance of the entire ecosystem, and it brings a lot of sophistication and a certain set of skillsets that are cooperative and innovative, and people know how to get things done.” - Mike Romeri, (15:13) “This is like one of those things where Northwest Arkansas hadn't been on my to-do list, but now that I'm here, I feel like I've been marketing the whole region, and so now more people are planning on coming and checking it out.” - Humphrey Chen, (29:31)“I just think there's so many great people here [in Bentonville] and it's an abundant place, but everybody has this same salt of the earth attitude, and you can just get so much more done.” - Somya Munjal, (37:23)

But the reality is I came here to meet people. The way I've operated in life historically is that things tend to develop organically…People do deals with you ultimately because they like you and they trust you. And look, I just want to engage with people in the community. I've met an incredible group of people. The exposure [through Fuel] has been nothing short of amazing.” - Andrew Bart, (6:11)   “The business climate [in Northwest Arkansas] is something that's completely different than any other place I've been in the States as well as globally…It's a completely different environment here business-wise. I don't think a lot of people understand that.” - Dexter Caffey, (18:26)   “Getting exposure to mentors and business people around the area is a huge benefit [of Bentonville]...But even though it's a small market, Walmart, a Fortune 1 company, is here. We're not limited in where those connections go and where the results of Fuel take companies, and I see that as one of the big benefits here.” - Kevin Butler, (27:06)   “I don't think anyone really understands or knows what's happening in [Northwest Arkansas] until you get here. It's just such a hidden gem.” - Keith Fix, (37:29)

Summary On this episode of Startup Junkies, hosts Grace Gill, Harrison Kitson, and Claudia Scott are joined by Brittnie Simon, founder and owner of Collab Design Co. Collab is a digital marking agency in Northwest Arkansas whose goal is to elevate businesses through creative initiatives that drive results through strategy, marketing, and design.

When I started networking and connecting in the community, people want to refer locally and they want to get to know who they're referring.” - Brittnie Simon, (15:43) “If you have your cup and it's full of creative juices, and as you're doing things you kind of lose it, and if you don't have a way to refill it…then you're kind of at the end of your cup and you're not doing successful work. So being able to say, hey my cup's empty and build that communication there, then we can pivot and help give you opportunities to refill.” - Brittnie Simon, (20:26) “I think there's a misunderstanding of what consistency means [on social media], and I think that's the biggest challenge. Consistency isn't posting every day. Can you post weekly, on a regular basis consistently? Even if it's once or twice a week. You just determine your level of consistency and commit to it.” - Brittnie Simon, (29:25) “The other thing I've learned is that social media is a long game. Marketing is a long game. So trying to see return on investment one week after you started posting consistently is going to dishearten you…You're probably going to be putting effort in for about a year before you'll see those results.” - Brittnie Simon, (33:37) 

Summary On this episode of Startup Junkies, hosts Jeff Amerine, Victoria Dickerson, and Grace Gill sit down with Jonathan Sasse, chief strategy officer at Metova. Jonathan talks about the process of implementing new technologies, such as AI and machine learning, into businesses with outdated or inefficient systems. He also discusses the importance of understanding why their customers purchase from them, how to build trust with clients, and how to end up with the right product rather than the easiest solution.    Show Notes (0:36) Introducing Jonathan and His Origin Story (3:21) What's on the Horizon for Metova (5:40) Jonathan's Take on AI (10:34) Knowing When to Implement New Technologies (15:26) Metova's Ideal Customer (19:14) Helping Decisions Makers Understand the Need for New Tech (23:13) Metova's Development Cycle (27:06) Building Relationships with Clients (29:35) Advice to the Younger Self (31:04) Closing Thoughts   Links Jeff Amerine Victoria Dickerson Grace Gill Jonathan Sasse  Metova    Quotes “[We're] really looking at things through the customer's lens. So like, what do your customers want from you? What are they hiring you for in the first place? And what's frustrating them? And if AI can help make that better, great. But we also have to be careful [of] technology for the sake of technology, because it will happen. They're like, here's all the things I need, and it's the five buzziest technology things.” - Jonathan Sasse, (8:27)    “So as a customer, I'm applying a lens of, I know it's possible, but you didn't do it. And so now I want this from you because it's clearly possible. And it's not so much that your competitors dangled some new feature to me, but I was exposed to something that's clearly technologically possible that you could choose to implement and make my life better.” - Jonathan Sasse, (12:25)   “Our sweet spot is really established companies that don't have technology as their core DNA and that are at some kind of a crossroads. They're not exactly sure where to go, but they have the resources to invest in doing it, and they have enough upside to come out of that with the ROI that's needed.” - Jonathan Sasse, (15:53)   “A dev shop will build what you tell them to build…As a product agency, it's more about the consulting and advising—you know, we're bringing things to the table that are maybe going to change the direction of their business, maybe change their business model. We're going to be advisors at a very high level and certainly a strategic partner…” - Jonathan Sasse, (28:38)

Summary On this episode of Startup Junkies, hosts Jeff Amerine and Grace Gill sit down with Justin and Mailena Urso, founders and owners of Big Box Karaoke. Big Box Karaoke is a combination bar, restaurant, and karaoke hotspot located in the heart of downtown Fayetteville, Arkansas.

I always tell this story: On the Saturday before the shutdown, in an eight-hour timeframe, we did as much revenue as [we did] in the next six months combined. In eight hours. And it was one of our busiest nights ever, but it took six months to make that same amount of revenue that [had only taken] eight hours.” - Justin Urso, (19:23)  “We averaged fifty reservations a week before the pandemic, and then you go to zero. And 80% of our business was based on reservations, so the math just doesn't add up.” - Justin Urso, (23:05) “Our business is expensive to build out. It's not just opening a coffee shop or an ice cream parlor or something. There's a lot of costs that go into building out those rooms and the technology involved. And so [expansion] is a little bit more difficult.” - Justin Urso, (27:25) “We were like, if we build it, they will come. That was our mindset. But we did do a lot of testing. We personally experienced this concept a lot and had a great time and took our takeaways from that…and there were other businesses in other markets like ours that were popping up. So it wasn't like this was a brand new thing.” - Mailena Urso, (30:12) “The advice we would give to people in that situation is just believe in what you're doing and have some backup for it. And if you can't find the backup, then that's maybe where you're like, okay maybe let's change it a little bit.” - Mailena Urso, (33:49)

And so if we are looking to have an America that is going to be prosperous for our children [and] our grandchildren, we need to keep the eye on the ball of making sure that the next generation of entrepreneurs come to the U.S. And this is where we have the next Google and the next thing that's going to change the world.” - Tahmina Watson, (7:15)   “One of the things that is so important for me to explain so that people understand it is that when businesses cannot fill their positions, who is the loser? It's the American consumer that is the loser. It's the American tax purse that is the loser. You know, we are not helping ourselves by not thinking about the various tools that can solve our economic problems, and immigration is one of those tools.” - Tahmina Watson, (9:33) “I love being here. America's given me my home. My children are here, and I want a country that my children can prosper in and their children can prosper in. And I think we need to use our voices with every tool possible—particularly immigration—to make that happen.” - Tahmina Watson, (13:27)

And we felt like that was actually a strength for us…We've always kind of looked at business as—there's a lot of strength in being an outsider to the industry you are going into.” - Fred Gustafson, (23:58) “The challenge isn't as much [convincing] more plant-based, vegans, and vegetarians to eat more of this stuff. It's more so, how do you show the traditional meat eater that there is this healthy, better for you, more natural, less-processed alternative that also happens to not use any animal products, that can deliver more on the nutritional value, the taste, everything like that, as a way to supplement your diet.” - Fred Gustafson, (29:40) “People still want an indulgence in their snack. They want stuff to taste good. They want that craveable deliciousness. And so we want to be that. We are that. We'll always deliver big on flavor, but then also be this cleaner, whole food, vegan-based product.” - Fred Gustafson, (36:45)

The rice, the noodles, the soup, whatever. We just have this mindset of problem solving and using chopsticks to eat everything versus using different shapes of knives, you know, utensils. Very specialized. So that's how I approach things in life, too, I feel, doing art, doing nonprofit, doing data analytics at Tyson which is the company I work for. To me, it's just approaching life. Solving life's whatever needs to be solved and if I can play a role in this whole context, I feel I'm pretty lucky.” - Yang Luo-Branch (10:24) “We have members writing to us long paragraphs telling their stories from east Arkansas, from south Arkansas, from north Arkansas, definitely outside of these population-dense areas. They just feel passionate about, ‘Hey, there's something like this existing in Arkansas.' And they care about us in south Arkansas, too.” - Yang Luo-Branch (14:59) “I think global citizen, I mean it sounds fancy or sounds like a big word, but to me it's really just making the best of living wherever you are, wherever you find your place on this earth. That's just about participating in life wherever in the world. That's my definition of it. So, today I find myself in Northwest Arkansas, you know, with my husband and my daughter here and all my family is still in China, so what do I do? I need to participate in life in Northwest Arkansas. And I feel probably many residents in this area share that same kind of attitude, no matter if they're local or from other parts of the world. I think my message would be, ‘Hey let's all come out and let's all give back and we can all bring something to the community and make the most of it for ourselves too.'” - Yang Luo-Branch (18:41) “If I can help [immigrants] to create a channel out to help them connect their little enclave or bubble with the rest of the community who's so willing to help, if I can be that channel, I'm willing to.” - Yang Luo-Branch (24:54) “Personally I feel there should be more talks between people to people connection, community to community connections, the geopolitical things. I can see why on an intellectual level but I feel we're missing out if we just stop talking to each other, if we just stop socializing because the ‘big guys' are not playing along very well.” - Yang Luo-Branch (28:50) “Every connection starts with a conversation, so I just see people get connected on LinkedIn due to our event, or people write thank you notes to us and say, ‘Hey, we've carried on the relationship after your initial introduction.'” - Yang Luo-Branch (33:40)

So for small brands that don't already have their brand strategy or their social media strategy, I would highly recommend showing people what you are like. You always hear the saying ‘friends buy from friends' or ‘people buy from people they like,' and that's the approach I take on TikTok.” - Deric Cahill, (8:46)   “I want to be irrational. I want to live life a little bit on the outskirts and I want to be unapologetically me…I want to find my people and I don't want to care about the people that are not my people.” - Deric Cahill, (12:25)   “And while my customers might not notice that my prices stay consistent—maybe they do—but I'm not relying on a $3 difference in the cost of my goods to feed my family. So, I keep my prices consistent.” - Deric Cahill, (27:27)   “I feel like everything that I do right now with my time is in perfect alignment with who I want to be…I'm not faking it for anyone, which is really cool…I'm on my track to like my best life.” - Deric Cahill, (34:38)

It gets that human side that I've been missing, working in products and marketing. And I just saw the power of it.” Eric Hinson, (6:39)   “Parable exists to turn stories into legacies.” David Baker, (16:26)   “People always say…look forward to the goal. But nobody ever thinks to look back to where you've come from, and that's the better way to measure success. How far have you come?” Eric Hinson, (22:28)   “...The product that we provide is a lot more than just capturing the stories. It's giving everyone a chance to connect in a way that they haven't ever really connected before.” David Baker, (27:17) “I think there's something special to realizing that the people that we come from are human also. They become sort of mythical… in negative or positive ways over time. And they're not tangible in a way. This is an opportunity to humanize those individuals and hopefully kind of help someone understand how they're anchored in the world and where they come from.” David Baker, (34:02)
