  On today’s podcast, we have Haley Bohon, Founder and CEO of SkillPop.  I’ve known about SkillPop since nearly its inception but have never had the opportunity to sit down with Haley and talk about the business.  For those of you who don’t know, SkillPop is a company facilitating ‘pop-up classes in your community’.  They advertise that it’s for ‘creators, dreamers and lifelong learners’. I think you can make the case it’s for anyone who wants to continue to grow. And speaking of growth, SkillPop has grown tremendously since its first class.  They now offer classes in Atlanta, Charlotte, Greenville, Lake Norman, Nashville and Raleigh. Today, we wanted to learn more about this great company, hear Haley’s story and the potential paths forward straight from Haley.  The best thing about doing these podcasts with entrepreneurs – at least from my perspective – is you get a good sense of the quality of the entrepreneur in Charlotte.  Haley is one of many entrepreneurs who makes you feel proud to be part of the ecosystem.  She knows her business very well and while I don’t want to say she held back – we dove into lots of good topics – you know she’s got more to show us in the coming years. So that is where we tried to stay in this podcast.  How has Haley and the business grown over the years?  What were some of the key milestones and what have bee some of the important moments in the business?  In exploring these topics we also get to ask Haley to give us glimpses into what it has taken to build this business. We also have a little fun with her.  It’s always great interviewing a fellow NC State Alum and asking them about the best university in the state.  Or talking with her about her Techstars experience in Austin only to quickly dive into a discussion on the best BBQ. Haley and SkillPop are doing great things.  Hopefully you listen to this podcast and realize what an asset she is to our community.  Then you go sign up for a class, learn a new skill and meet some other great folks in Charlotte. You'll notice a new intro/exit song and format going forward.  As a lifelong Grateful Dead fan, I thought it was beyond time to incorporate some personality into the podcast.  The verse is from Althea and the words fit the podcast.   William Bissett is the owner of and an Investment Advisor Representative of Portus Wealth Advisors, a Registered Investment Adviser. Registration does not imply a certain level of skill or training.

Ride the Scooter in the Rain - it's a a core value of Skipper. It also serves to remind CEO/Founder Meggie Williams of where the business started. Early on in the business she took a scooter to walk the dogs. Inevitably some days it rained. It's a way for her to remember who she and who the company is. Skipper is after the trust of the Trust of the clients. It's something you won't question or doubt after listening to Meggie's interview today. Sebastian Williams - or as she refers to her husband, Seb - and Meggie have been on a wild ride since they first met in college. Back then they were working as a team for Senior Class President at UNC Chapel Hill and really haven't stopped working together since then. Their skills complement each other well and they have an ability to put work at the door step before going home every night. Their partnership has taken them from Chapel Hill to NYC, backpacking around the world on a shoe string budget, to Charlotte, down to Austin for the Techstars incubator program (where they roomed with fellow Charlotte startup couple Haley Bohon and her husband - Founders of Skillpop - and Dina Carey, CEO of Milkful, also a local CLT company). Most importantly for Charlotte, though, it has led them to start Skipper (formerly The Waggle Company). They are one of a handful of Charlotte area companies the Charlotte Angel Fund has invested in. They are now in three cities - Charlotte, Austin and Dallas - and will be launching in Atlanta soon. They are very aware of their competition and are quite comfortable at how they are going to be able to win. Before my interview, I had heard many people sing the praises of Meggie and Sebastian. Today I know first hand they are a team that is building something great. Now you get to hear about it too.   A few other local notes and comments: Sam Smith of Vishion (local startup) and Collective Hustle is organizing a fantastic event called Seed the South.  The goal with this effort is to bring investors and entrepreneurs in Charlotte and beyond together to begin to show off what’s here.  The event is going to be on January 9 at the Foundation for the Carolinas and Sam is working on building a terrific list of speakers.  There will be a pitch competition for 4 – 8 startups and other startups will have demo tables there too.  It’s going to be a great way to start 2019 and I hope to see you there. If you are a startup looking to learn more about the Seed the South opportunity, please register for the informational session on December 11 at Hygge.  https://collectivehustle.us/events/participate-seed-the-south/ Thank you to Dan Roselli and his team at Packard Place for our first sponsorship. They have hosted more than 2 dozen of our interviews over the last couple of months and have offered one of their used Yeti’s for us to use with guests when we go offsite.

All of us wish we knew how to do "cool stuff" -- like create a piece of art, homemade wreaths... or digital marketing with social media. But who has time for 8 weeks of classes? Not us. But we CAN set aside two or three hours for an introduction that gets us going, and that's where SkillPop comes in. The wildly popular classes are perfect for busy professionals or parents who have young families -- because they teach a cool skill in just a couple of hours. Our guest on BrandBuilders is the woman behind this incredible concept, which has grown so quickly in 3 years that it's now offered in 5 cities...  and the list of offerings is growing too. Welcome Haley Bohon, founder and CEO of SkillPop.

We're coming to you live with a two-pack, gang! We've got episodes 21 and 22, featuring SkillPop founder Haley Bohon and her husband Steve, and Page's co-anchor Jason Harper and his wife Angie, respectively. (Episode 22 can be found wherever you get your podcasts too!) We realized we had started to collect a few episodes in the can, so we thought we'd release a couple together.  First up are Haley and Steve Bohon.  Haley founded Charlotte start-up darling SkillPop in 2015 and Steve joined her shortly thereafter.  SkillPop's claim to fame is that they are revolutionizing in-person education, and as public speaking teachers, Page and Jake can attest to it's rocket ship growth.  SkillPop has expanded to Raleigh, Greenville, S.C. and Nashville, and Steve and Haley have other major business development ideas brewing as well, especially after their recent appearance at Techstars in Austin.  The future is SUPER bright for these two, and Charlotte is lucky to have them.  You'll recognize Jason Harper from his weekday appearances...right next to Page.  Jason is Page's co-anchor on FOX 46's Good Day Charlotte, and together with his wife Angie, the two make for a hilarious duo.  Jason and Angie team together to raise a blended family of four daughters, which is not lacking in funny stories.  What makes their backstory that much more interesting, is that they're high school sweethearts...sort of.  After knowing each other growing up, the two went their separate ways and eventually reunited after each having a first marriage.  And now together they enjoy hitting up Charlotte's breweries and every Old Navy in the 704. We can’t thank Haley, Steve, Jason and Angie enough for joining us on this episode, and as always, big thanks to Garrett Tichy, Hygge and Richard Brooke for having us as a member of their inaugural Hygge Podcast Residency!

Thanks for listening! p.s. Sorry once again for the brutal audio in Episode 21. If you remember, due to technical difficulties we lost that and the preceding episode's recordings, but fortunately we were able to pull what you're listening to from the Facebook live stream. Big ups once again to Richard for trying to salvage our memory card. RIP, good audio.
