Allie Rowbottom's great-great-great uncle bought the patent to Jell-O from its inventor in 1899 for $450, then sold it in the 1920s for $67 million — nearly a billion dollars in today's money. Lately, Allie's been obsessed with how all that Jell-O money shaped America, and her own family. It's funded generations of Rowbottom women, including Allie, but it's also been a shadow they can't escape. Jell-O became a twisted metaphor for all the bad things that happened to them, to the point that they started to wonder: Are we cursed? Please note: This episode deals with eating disorders.

How does a long-term entrepreneur identify a good idea, scale it, and stay committed to that vision over 30 years? In this episode, Rich sits down with Angie Hicks, Co-founder and Chief Customer Officer at Angi, formerly Angie's list. They discuss building a business from the ground up, leading employees and external partners, and maintaining enthusiasm for a long-term goal. ---------Key Quotes: “ If you don't maintain the culture, it'll be a bad culture.” “When I think about whether I like what I'm doing, I base it on two factors. One, do I like the people I'm working with? And two, am I learning new things?”“Sometimes you have to force a learning function on the organization because it's important. Because the landscape shifts and you don't want to get caught flat-footed.”“Find your unit that you're going to evaluate things on. What is it? What is that process? And then make sure you can always pull back the layers to make sure that element is working well.”Practice Makes Profit: Solve challenges effectively and efficiently with solutional thinking. League of Strategic Minds [listener question]: How can I help my team be more innovativeWinsights: Ideas for Advantage: Meg Whitman, former CEO of eBay and HP Enterprises, said, “First, you need the right strategy. Less than perfect execution against the right strategy will probably work. 100 percent execution against the wrong strategy, won't.” Does your team have a strategy that you believe in and can help win in the market? If not, all the time you're spending on execution and tactics is being wasted. The motto is ready, aim, fire not just keep firing.

Let's do some discourse on that thang. To start our series on 2024's Main Character Haliey Welch, AKA Hawk Tuah Girl, we're taking a closer look at how a Tennessee twenty-something with no social media and a factory job became a household name in a matter of weeks in 2024. Jamie looks at the culture of TikTok and YouTube man-on-the-street surveillance channels, and tracks where the channel that catapulted Haliey Welch to fame failed to get proper consent, what their business model is, and why Haliey decided to go into business for herself. Next time: the debt TikTok owes to Girls Gone Wild, and why Talk Tuah got more downloads than this podcast.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You can't keep a good girl down. What would depress and ruin many, she used as a flotation device to give her purpose and direction. Listen to this Centennial graduate and Champaign native talk about a 98' boating accident on Clinton Lake, seeking justice without any resolution, finding and using prosthetics, taking an athletic background and finding a new outlet with sitting volleyball, her incredible Paralympics history, her engagement and her current position for the City of Champaign. Wrong place, wrong time, wrong crowd, I can think of a hundred near-miss moments like the one Nichole describes on the lake that summer. She isn't defined by that boat ride, however, she is defined by strength, athleticism and now love...................................................................Please, please subscribe (so you know when new episodes drop) and share!
