It is easy to take the significant role a pet can play in a child's life for granted. Growing up with pets teaches children many lessons about life, and often, just being in their pet's presence helps them calm down. Animals provide unconditional love and offer companionship in a different way than human relationships do.  My very first dog gravitated towards my mother, who fed and trained him. He became her loyal companion, which hurt my feelings as a seven-year-old because I wanted him to be my buddy. Then, a rescue dog came into our lives and became mine. I trained her and slept with her, and she became my best friend for the next thirteen years! She was a stable and dependable force in my life and helped me navigate my sometimes painful childhood and teenage experiences. We had a special bond that I will never forget! Today, my nephew, Andrew, joins me to share his experiences of growing up with pets. He discusses what he learned, and talks about the special friendship he shared with his first dog, Pamet. Be sure to stay tuned today to hear Andrew's heart-warming story! Show highlights: Andrew talks about his life currently. Andrew discusses the influence that his first pet had on his life. Andrew shares his earliest memories of his first dog. How Andrew came to name his puppy Pamet. Andrew remembers learning about responsibility as a four-year-old pooper-scooper.  Why being seen as a litter-mate by your puppy is not a good idea. The support and companionship that Andrew received from the animals in his life. How living with animals differs from relationships with humans.  After having had one dog and five cats, Andrew is still a dog person. Andrew talks about his life with two kittens. The difference between having a relationship with a dog and a cat. How pets help to keep us happy and in the present moment. Andrew talks about the hardest part of having pets. Andrew shares the biggest lesson that his pets have taught him. Andrew Peacock's Bio Andrew Peacock and Allison White go way back — not only to Andrew's birth since they're aunt and nephew but to the very beginning of a young boy's love for animals. At the ripe age of four, Allison's beloved dog, Charity, had a litter of puppies, providing Andrew's family with their very first pup. The dog was named Pamet, after a waterway on Cape Cod, and quickly became Andrew's best friend. Andrew learned many lessons from Pamet throughout the pup's decade of life, including how to befriend, teach, and love another being. But perhaps the most valuable lesson that Andrew continues the journey of embodying every day, is how to cherish and love life, just like Pamet did. Since then, Andrew, now 23, has shared in the joys of owning four fish, three cats, and two frogs throughout his life. He is now undergoing the wonderful yet bewildering journey of looking after two beautiful and quite strange black cats named Noodle and Darcy with his partner, Haley, in Ohio. Andrew graduated from The College of Wooster in May of 2020 and has been working as a freelance editor and barista during the pandemic. He currently looks forward to leaping into graduate school at Georgetown University for a Master's in Communication, Culture, and Technology. He hopes to one day use his words for some kind of financial benefit, but who knows

Are short-term rental businesses coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic and being resurrected? Do owners love the return on investment (ROI) and income, but tired of the turnover, logistics, and moving parts? If you're doing it all on your own, hand it over. Today's guest is Andrew LeBaron with BuyMoreTime, a flat-rate property management solution for short-term rentals. Andrew began his real estate journey by being the marketing director and a guest on Joe Fairless's Best Ever Real Estate Investing Advice Show. Then, Andrew started buying, selling, wholesaling, fixing, and flipping properties and got licensed to go even further. You'll Learn...

[12:40] Questions: How much could my property rent for? What needs to be inside it? [16:23] Mistakes: Give gifts and leave notes for guests to make a big difference.  Tweetables “Shorter rental management is big bucks.” Hoteling 101: Owners of short-term rental properties just wanted more time and freedom, and managing a hotel is not time and freedom.

If you are a property management entrepreneur that wants to add doors, make a difference, increase revenue, help others, impact lives, and you are interested in growing your business and life, and you're open to doing things a bit differently, then you are a DoorGrow hacker. DoorGrow hackers love the opportunities, daily variety, unique challenges, and freedom that property management brings. Many in real estate think you're crazy for doing it. You think they're crazy for not because you realize that property management is the ultimate high-trust gateway to real estate deals, relationships, and residual income. At DoorGrow, we are on a mission to transform property management businesses and their owners. We want to transform the industry, eliminate the BS, build awareness, change perception, expand the market, and help the best property management entrepreneurs win. I'm your host, property management growth expert, Jason Hull, the founder and CEO of DoorGrow. Now, let's get into the show. Today's guest, I'm hanging out here with Andrew LeBaron. Andrew, welcome to the show. Andrew: Thank you. Jason: Andrew, you're with an organization company called BuyMoreTime. Andrew: That's it. We are a short-term rental property management solution. Jason: Cool. Andrew, we don't have a lot of vendors and people on the show typically related to the short-term rental industry. This will be interesting because I have been getting a lot more calls related to that lately. Maybe a lot of people are starting to resurrect these short-term rental businesses coming out of the pandemic, where there's a black swan event that squashed the industry temporarily. Let's first get into a little bit of background about you and how you got into this industry. Andrew: Yeah, sure. It's funny. We're on a podcast right now. I actually started a long time ago as a marketing director for a podcast. I don't know if you've ever heard of the Best Ever Real Estate Investing Show with Joe Fairless. He buys multi-family apartments. That's his main gig. Jason: I think I was on that show. I've been on a lot of podcasts back in the day. Andrew: I wouldn't be surprised. Heck, maybe, I reached out to you some years ago, who knows? It's the world's longest daily real estate podcast. I mean his work ethic is insane. Years ago, I got into real estate. I jumped into (of course) Bigger Pockets. I jumped into Joe Fairless's podcast. On one of the podcast episodes he said, I am looking for a marketing director. Someone that can help connect me with more guests. If that's you, send me an email. I'm like, I want to try that. I sent him an email. I'm like, I don't care if he pays me. If he pays me, great. If he doesn't, so what? I was his marketing director and I got to meet some of the coolest people—Grant Cardone, Gary Keller, some really big names. I didn't get to speak to Barbara Corcoran, but I got to send an email. There were some pretty big names on that podcast and I was actually able to be a guest. I was starting my real estate journey and from there I started buying and selling properties, wholesaling, buying, fixing, and flipping. I started buying small apartments, 6 units, 10 units and so on and so forth. Then I got licensed because I wanted to take it a little bit further. I thought, okay, if I'm not going to buy these, I'm going to either manage them, and so on and so forth. Then I realized about 3½–4 years ago from an accident, actually, that shorter rental management is big bucks. In fact, we bought a house that we couldn't sell. We tried everything we could to move, the property just wouldn't move for some reason; it was just a weird property. I told my partner, whatever. Let's furnish it. We went to goodwill. We got these truckloads of just random furniture and we loaded up into this house—we're such rookies—and we put it up or lease or we set it up for Airbnb. I kid you not, this lady wanted to rent it for a week for $250 a night. I was like, it's got to be a joke. There's no way. She's like, no, I'd love to stay here, me and my family. From there, I thought, the short-term rental space is where it's at. We started buying more, furnishing more. Then all of our friends said, can you help us manage ours? We're like, okay, we can help you. It's hoteling 101, but that's how we became BuyMoreTime. We noticed that owners of short-term rental properties just wanted more time and freedom, and managing a hotel is not time and freedom. It's a lot of work. Jason: Right. I don't think there's any industry that takes more time and more customer interaction than the hospitality industry. I think that's rated at the top. Property management is second to that, they say, so it's right there. Andrew: It's pretty insane. There's so many facets to this. There's legal, there's inventory, there is coordination with cleaning and maintenance. Then there's guest responses. It's literally 24/7. There is no sleep. If you don't have a team, you will not thrive. Jason: Right. Tell us a little bit about BuyMoreTime. What is it exactly that you do? Andrew: BuyMoreTime is a flat rate management service for short-term rentals. We are a service-first company. If you have a property on a short-term rental platform, say, Airbnb, VRBO, if you have a motel, small apartment building, you want to do a couple of apartments and you want to maximize your ROI by leveraging the short-term rental platforms and its traffic, then you can hire us. We will manage that for you. We'll set it up. Most of the time we're looking for clients that already had it built, but we can set it up. We will set your teams—you're cleaning team, your maintenance team. We'll handle messaging 24/7. We will take over your hotel. That's what we do. Jason: Okay, the hotel. Awesome. Cool and I checked my inbox. I was on the Joe Fairless podcast back in May of 2019. It's been some years, but I was there at one point. Andrew: That's so cool. Jason: But I didn't even know it was that big of a deal. I guess that was pretty cool for me in hindsight. Andrew: That is really cool. Jason: Awesome. What would you say to people that might be tuning into this on the short-term rental side that are doing this themselves currently? Why would they want to get in partnership with you? Andrew: Well, just like our name prescribes, if you are tired of wasting or you're trading your time for money and you love the ROI, you love the income, 2–3 times than average rents across the nation is what you can expect from a short-term rental. If you're getting $700 rent in the south, you could get double that. You can get triple that. Depending on where you are. There are many variables. But if you're tired of handling that yourself, you can literally hand it over to our company. Our sales team will answer all your questions. We'll link you up into our software. We will hit the green button and you sit back and simply watch the interaction between your guest and our team and obviously your bank account. There is no touching it. I mean we literally set it up in the beginning so you don't have to manage it all. We have your team. We have your inventory. We would restock your toilet paper, paper towels. Sheets. There's just so much to say. It'll hurt your head if you think about it. Inventory management and supply chain, that's what we do. We handle all that. That's what your listeners can glean from our company. That's what we can do for them. Jason: Now, you had mentioned a little bit of info about how appealing it might be to get into the short-term rental game, 2–3 times the amount of income coming in. But what about those that have been burned by Covid? They said this was too painful. We weren't prepared for this. Money just stopped. Vacation rental market was just decimated. They're just afraid to get back into the game. Andrew: You know what's funny? Covid actually was great. I think that's the only thing I'll say about Covid as far as short-term rentals go. For a property manager or for an apartment owner, for property owners, Covid was not great because you have the moratorium. There's a lot of struggles there. For us, for the short-term rental gamers, it was wonderful. People couldn't leave. No one could go anywhere. We saw a decline in March of 2020. We saw a slight decline in occupancy. Our typical occupancy is hovering around 92%. Occupancy inside the short-term rental game is very different. You got 30 nights out of a month, depending how many nights you booked, that's your occupancy rate. It dipped I think just 70% flat, 70% or 73% flat. After March, we started exploding. It was quite the opposite. People couldn't go to Europe. People couldn't go to other countries, so they had staycations. In the beginning, this whole journey there's kind of like this Airbnb belief that when you have a guest that wants to go from one side of the city to stay in your place, that's a big red flag because it's probably going to be a party, probably going to be a kid. But at this moment, with Covid, it was like, look, I'm a tired mother. My husband and I would just want to get away. We got a babysitter. Covid shut us down, can we come stay? We haven't changed our [...], yeah sure. We don't discriminate, but at the same time, we would stop asking all the prying questions. Are you in college or not? College parties are the worst. But we would allow them to. We actually exploded really well during Covid. Jason: Interesting. I would have thought it would have been the opposite. Now, is BuyMoreTime location-specific? Is this all over the US? Is it beyond? Where do you guys do this at? Andrew: We're in five states right now and two countries. We're in Canada, in here, and five states. We can do this anywhere. We could pick up anywhere. Obviously, you need to qualify. We have a qualifying call. It's called a discovery call where we discuss what your property is like, its condition, your needs, and so on and so forth. See if we're a good fit. Not everybody's a good fit, obviously. Not every property is a good fit. Not every area is a good fit. We just want to make sure that it's going to be a win-win situation for everybody. Jason: Are you wanting listeners that are listening to the DoorGrowShow, to this episode, regardless of where they're at to just reach out, or are you looking for specific areas? Andrew: Regardless of where they're at to reach out, absolutely. Jason: Cool. What are some of the biggest questions that potential clients want to know when talking with you? Andrew: Number one question, how much could my property go for? How much could my property rent for if I was to work with BuyMoreTime? My answer is, when you come to BuyMoreTime, you should already be established. We're not a coaching company. We're not a let's boost your traffic. You should already be established, description, photos, 5-star reviews and you say, look, I got this in the bag. I just need to hand over the reins. That's all I want to do. For the costs, less than paying a VA every month, you're going to hire our team and we're going to run all of your operations. Jason: So this is for those that are just tired of the turnover, tired of the logistics, tired of making sure all the moving parts are happening. You'll handle all of that. Andrew: Correct. Jason: It sounds like you do it quite affordably. Andrew: Yup. $349 a month is our price and it doesn't fluctuate. The good news is we built this to service our property, to scratch our own itch. We're investors first. We have short-term rentals. We buy property. I'm sitting in one right now, up north. I've only been here for a couple months, brought my family into it. This will eventually be a short-term rental up in the pines. We wanted something where I didn't have to pay 20%, 25%, 15% of my profits. There's a lot of other companies out there like us where they have this really cool software and service—services, in my opinion, are subpar—but you pay out 20% of your profits on your highest month. It's like you're being penalized for using their service. To me, I would want some sort of program that I know what I'm paying for every single month. Every single month is the same rate, no matter what. In that way, I can easily predict my income for my highest months. Everybody's got the highest months. Austin's got a high season. Arizona, all over the place, they have a high season and low season. Florida, they have a high season. For us in AZ for example, it's going to be March and April. From other places, it is that same month or those months. These companies rob you 20% of your total proceeds. I thought that's not cool. Let's give the profits back to the owners and we'll just take a small fee for managing their property. Jason: All right, so the first the main question everyone wants to know is how much could they get and probably what is the cost. What else are they curious about, usually? Andrew: They usually want what I need in my property? What should be inside it? Especially, if you haven't done this before. Let's say you manage apartments, or you own a building, or whatever it may be, and you're talking to some partners or your client about setting up an Airbnb. That's probably one of the biggest questions is what goes inside of it? The one thing I need to tell people is when you have a short-term rental, you're not selling a place to stay. You're selling experience. I don't know, Jason, if you've ever stayed in a property on Airbnb before, but I just… Jason: I have. Andrew: You have? Just scrolling, you're looking for beautiful photos. You're looking for awesome amenities. You're looking for 5-star reviews. You're not looking 4-star, you're not looking for 3-stars, you want the best. You're looking for a very awesome experience. I think the biggest mistake that a lot of short-term rental managers go through is they're just trying to just fill it with stuff. That's not the case. If you have the ability to stock the fridge, stock the fridge. If you can leave a note for your guest, leave a note. If you could set up a system to leave nice things for your guests or send an extra message saying, we're so glad you're here, do it because that's what it's about. Jason: Yeah. There's a really great book called The Giftology, and in this book he talks about how just little gifts and little things actually make a big difference. And that makes a big difference giving something because that just makes it novel. It makes it stand out. It makes it different. I really enjoyed the show on Netflix called Stay Here. I don't know if you've seen that. Andrew: Yes. Jason: They're making these properties ready to be really amazing experiences, and that was a big part of the show is all about this experience. People are coming to Austin and have a certain type of experience. There needs to be a barbecue and some of these things. People are going to different areas in order to have the experience of that area and kind of tying that in. They made it really hyper relevant. Any other questions people tend to ask? Andrew: I think one other question they ask is how do I stand out? How do I be different? Everybody has got a condo on Airbnb. If you go to airbnb.com right now, looking at Austin, look in your zip code, you'll see thousands. How do I stand out? I think the biggest tip I have for those people that want to know how to stand out is, what is something that is going to make your place so memorable that people will be talking about it and they'll come back? There's a really easy way to do this by asking yourself what do people not offer that I can offer? What do they not have that I have? Some people have this huge TV, surround sound, just crazy entertainment, amazing sofa. That's good, but what is extra? I've seen some people add movie tickets or tickets to some amusement parks. I don't know how cost-effective that is, obviously, but depending on your budget versus how you can stand out, that's going to predict how you stand out. Jason: Interesting, cool. Well, how can people get a hold of you that might be interested? Andrew: This question always comes up in podcasts. I sometimes tell my cell phone number, but there's a link that actually you have, Jason, where you can get a hold of us. I'll just let you add that to the show notes. I'm going to just defer that back to you. Other than that, you could reach out to me on Facebook. Jason: Awesome. Yeah. He gave me an affiliate link, everybody, which is cool. I appreciate that. We'll put that link in the show notes. We'll link that on the podcast episode, online on our blog as well. It's been great getting familiar with you here a little bit. I really enjoyed the different perspective on Covid about the short-term rental industry. I know that I had lots of clients in the long-term game that were able to convert several into long-term during that time period in areas that they had challenges, but that was interesting. I didn't consider the staycation part, but I think a lot of people got really anxious, cooped up inside, and were looking for just a change of scenery, even if it was nearby. That makes a lot of sense. I appreciate you coming on the show, and until next time everybody, to our mutual growth.

Today’s show brings on coaches Andrew Cormier and Joel Reinhardt.  Andrew Cormier is a sports performance coach at the University of Massachusetts, working with the men’s lacrosse, women’s soccer, and softball programs.  Joel Reinhardt is the Assistant Director of Sports Performance at the University of Massachusetts, working with football and women’s lacrosse.  Together, Andrew and Joel run the sprint-jump-throw.com website, as well as the Sprint Jump Throw Performance Podcast. Speed training, on the surface is a very simple venture.  High quality sprinting efforts in a fresh state is key to getting faster.  For track and field this is quite simple, but for team sports, this becomes more difficult, since it’s harder to control fatigue, as well as address the many facets of speed displayed in the course of a game, compared to a simple linear sprint race. Andrew and Joel are two young coaches with a view on speed training for sport that blends “Feed the Cats” ideologies, into their progressive system that seeks to eliminate the noise from an athlete’s regimen.  On the show today, Andrew and Joel talk about a speed-based model that they utilize in their team sport preparation, running technique and options in the course of game play, and their model of cueing and instructing athletes. Andrew and Joel have taken on an approach to “rank-record-publish” in speed-based training that gives athletes unique motivation in regards to improving this critical component of athleticism.  Throughout the podcast, we also chat about the role of visual field, perception and body language in the development of game speed, as well as diversity in running “options” that high level athletes display.  We finish this chat with Andrew and Joel’s take on the utilization of tempo in resistance training, and how much we really need to rely on the weight room for power if speed-based ranking systems are being utilized outside of it.

Timestamps and Main Points 6:05 Andrew and Joel’s history in working together as coaches and how their podcast came together 11:05 How Andrew and Joel are building a “feed the cats” model of speed development in the context of team sports 18:35 How to replace linear-extensive tempo and long runs with more coordination driven, locomotion-complex style running for field sport athletes 27:50 What KPI’s Andrew and Joel are looking to boost throughout the year in regards to team sport physical needs, and how maximal sprints are ranked-recorded-published 39:35 How to work with athletes who are regularly in the last places in speed-based measurements 42:20 How Andrew and Joel consider change of direction ability in their training regime 57:55 Approaching running technique in light of the needs of team sports and the various types of running that may be present in team sports 1:09.20 Ideas on approaching bar tempo in a weightroom setting “It’s prioritizing the high speed components of the game, and then filling in the cracks elsewhere” Reinhardt “If we are trying to build some sort of physical stimulus, we always go back to “how can we build this playing lacrosse” Reinhardt “Instead of (traditional tempo or a long boring run for soccer players) now we are throwing a bunch of different movements at them (such as gallops)” Cormier “In season we only supplement fly 10’s (for field sport athletes)” Reinhardt We track (fly 10’s) as soon as we are done tracking it, I rank them, send it in the group message, put it top to bottom, color code it, green to red, mark PR’s on there, and they get all excited about it… the slight shift in language even within the team, instead of girls asking “how can I get in better shape” they ask, “how can I get faster” Reinhardt

A load of old rubbish, or the secret to unlocking everything you've ever hoped and dreamed of? Those are the two sorts of reactions that you get when the subjects of ‘Manifestation' and ‘The Law of Attraction' come up.  Like many, I watched ‘The Secret' and was ever so slightly skeptical that if I visualised a Maserati turning up in my garage it would happen … (I actually don't have a garage, so I would have been doubly impressed!) But over the past two years I've been actively exploring the Law of Attraction and manifestation and I've had results with it that I can't ignore… that's why I wanted to bring Andrew Kap onto the show.  Andrew is the author of “The Last Law of Attraction Book You'll Ever Need To Read” and it offers readers a different take on it from the usual books you'll find. It addresses WHY people who get excited about trying it still can't manage to get in the habit of using these methods for just five minutes a day.  The book has enjoyed continued success, including over 1,500  five-star rave reviews, #1 Best Seller status in multiple categories on Amazon, and a growing YouTube channel devoted to it. I'm getting the low down on his work and how he manages skeptical audiences too! Whatever your current position on it, I hope you'll listen with an open mind to what he has to say … you never know it might change your life!   What you'll learn: How Andrew discovered the Law of Attraction and how he used it when his life fell apart.  The results he's personally experienced using it in his life and business.    Why we consistently fail to get results in different areas of our lives, even though we know exactly what we need to be doing.  How Andrew was taking a risk when he chose the title of his book.   Why Andrew didn't include many stories or social proof in his book. How Andrew presents this topic to a cold audience to give his message the best chance of landing. Why you don't need to believe in it or care about the Law of Attraction for it to work. The side benefits of practicing gratitude in your life.  The biggest obstacle to people getting results using the Law of Attraction in their life and business.  Why you should let go of the ‘when' and the ‘how' and surrender to enjoying the experience of living in the future you want right now. How mindfulness and the Law of Attraction are connected.  The ‘Time Lapse' method that Andrew used to bring abundance into his life and how to use it.  The five minute gratitude tool that can get you results in just five minutes a day. Why there's no way to do these techniques wrong if you're having fun. The ‘Story Scripting' and ‘Instant Replay' methods that can make you the movie director of your life.  How Andrew uses speaking and storytelling build his audience and get his message out there. How your ego is keeping you from succeeding with the Law of Attraction and in other parts of your life or business. Why you shouldn't be looking for a perfect life.

Andrew Bumbalough, aka ‘Bumbi', as he is affectionately referred to by friends and teammates, grew up in Nashville, Tennessee aspiring to be a soccer player. When he discovered his real talent was his ability to outrun opponents, he switched over to track and never looked back. In high school he was a two-time Footlocker finalist (runner-up in 2004) and also set the state record in the 3200m (8:46.47).

Throughout his career he has been a consistent performer finishing in the top 5 at USA's in the 5000m every year from 2011 to 2014. Bumbi then shifted his focus to the marathon.

With a program that is one part community membership and one part entrepreneurial bootcamp, Day One provides founders and future-founders the place to learn how to start, build and grow a business. Prior to founding Day One, Andrew was Chief Innovation Officer at Human Ventures, a startup studio in New York City. In this episode we discuss: - How Andrew learnt all the details about building businesses. - Start-up's require the most altitude shifting right brain and left brain thinking at the same time. - He considers himself "the student of entrepreneurial process". - His first job he took up was in Uganda, Africa helping a friend running a small business and it was the best decision but was the hardest where he learnt that entrepreneurial journey is failing forward. He not only survived but he also pushed through in many ways which was a formative thing for him as a young professional. - When you are an entrepreneur the outputs matter more than the inputs vs any other professions. It is hard to control, you could do everything right and still fail. - The narratives of successful entrepreneurs on Social Media is not normal. Especially once that makes it look easy! - Not every business fails or succeeds easily but the truth is entrepreneurs give up easily or too soon. Entrepreneurs need to find more sustainable paths. - Three things one must consider before starting a business 1. Sustainability 2. Know what you want (you might not need venture capital for your business) 3. Go hard into your business idea, dive deep into it. Don't be a wonderpreneur. - Risks are completely normal in business, there will be failures but you should still take the risks. What's important is to recognize how to move forward when you fail. - Venture Capital Industry is a different ball game. There is risk involved when people are investing in an idea they are not sure if the business will succeed or fail but they still do it. - Marginally VC industry is small compare to self funded companies or businesses.

Andrew Butt is a Co-founder & CEO of a Silicon Valley venture-backed SaaS platform called Enable, which deals with rebate management. He has been a director of several other companies and not-for-profits. He has started and grown multiple businesses into profit and positive cash flow, including exit to PE. In this episode, Andrew talks about using rebates to incentivize distributors to meet the goals manufacturers have in mind. He shares how manufacturers create different rebate programs with various supply chains to work closely together to provide consumers better service. [powerpress]  Why you have to check out today’s podcast: Find out how Enable can help manufacturers deal with data flow complexities and execute well the rebate programs for the different supply chains involved Understand why you should go for rebates rather than discounts in a B2B setup Find out how rebates provide a symbiotic relationship among the supply chain in the B2B sector   “Definitely have some kind of rebate incentives in place because I do genuinely believe that they can drive that behavior in a way that a pure price on its own can't do. That, I think even with rebates, keep it simple, make it clear to customers what they need to do and what benefits they can get.” - Andrew Butt   Increase Your Pricing Knowledge: Become a Champions of Value INSIDER! To sign up go to insider.championsofvalue.com   Topics Covered: 01:12 - How Andrew found his path to a Pricing career 02:06 - What kind of rebate is Andrew talking about 02:34 - How different is a B2B rebate from a consumer-type rebate 03:32 - Talking about rebate’s bad reputation with B2C 04:46 - Addressing rebates’ bad reputation in the B2B sector 05:40 - Why go for rebates than just discounts 07:15 - The need for data sharing between manufacturers and distributors 09:20 - How rebates work outside of the usual supply chains 10:09 - The disadvantage of manufacturers incentivizing end-customers directly 10:59 - What problem does Enable help to solve 13:31 - Automating transactions, especially where a rebate is concerned 14:22 - How Enable helps companies on what they are already doing in terms of rebate execution 15:47 - Helping companies realize the power of rebates 17:34 - How rebates can be very effective 19:02 - What is ‘ship and debit’ 19:41 - Industries where he sees rebates successful aside from warehousing or distribution 21:40 - Why is hardware companies more likely to have rebates than software companies 22:37 - The most creative rebates he has seen 23:49 - Big drivers for creative behavior inside a channel 24:56 - Andrew’s best pricing advice that can greatly impact your business   Key Takeaways: “I think rebates generally are all about driving behavior. And because they are claimed back retrospectively, you have to do something to collect the rebate. That's how it's designed to drive behavior.” - Andrew Butt “Rebates are the currency of joint business partners that exist between trading partners. So, it's a lot more kind of ongoing than just a B2C type one-off rebate situation.”  - Andrew Butt “Rebates are not at all a bad thing like we might think about with some of those consumer nightmares. It really is about a genuine and very effective incentive program similar to what you might have with your own sales team.”  - Andrew Butt “We had many situations where manufacturers were not paying the rebate that was promised, not because they were trying to be malicious, but they just couldn't calculate it and couldn't work it out. You could have situations where distributors abused manufacturers and claimed too much more than what was due. And the whole idea that we've been talking through here, which is so powerful, was just not being executed well. Enable saw the opportunity to automate that with a SaaS software platform, which is exactly what we've done.” - Andrew Butt “We really believe that in every trading relationship, any of the buying and selling relationships, there should be these intelligent kinds of deals, these incentive deals in place that can be kind of tracked on both sides using the same language, and then each party can be rewarded when they hit the goals.” - Andrew Butt   Connect with Andrew Butt: enable.com LinkedIn   Connect with Mark Stiving:    Email: mark@impactpricing.com LinkedIn

The result was an immediate transition to a healthier and more active lifestyle for myself. After graduating college, I experienced a massively debilitating back injury - a 10mm herniation at my L4/L5 disc and bulged disc. I spent those 2 years exploring my movements, figuring out what felt good and what hurts, and slowly reintroducing weighted movements. As someone with Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS), I have found that improving my body awareness and strengthening my weaknesses is the most profound thing that I can do for myself. KATIE GOSS: My interest in health and wellness began 20 years ago when I decided to take on a career in nursing because I was passionate about helping others. As a cardiac critical care nurse, I enjoyed the constant learning and critical thinking it required. Knowing the power of prevention and self-care, I left the medical field, trained in Pilates and continued my own health journey experimenting with different approaches.

Adulting Like a Mother Father Co-Hosts Daniella Monet and Andrew Gardner join me on the show today!    You may recognize Daniella Monet from her days as a former Nickelodeon star including a main role on the show, “Victorious” alongside Ariana Grande and Victoria Justice, and others.   The show ended up winning the Nickelodeon Kids Choice awards twice and was also nominated for 4 Emmys.  While many young stars find themselves spiraling down a dark path after experiencing fame, Daniella, fortunately, wasn't one of them.   She has created a new path for herself that includes entrepreneurship, motherhood and co-hosting the popular Adulting Like a Mother Father podcast with her fiance, Andrew Gardner, which I had the absolute pleasure of being a guest on. You are going to want to go to check it out.   Andrew has a story of his own, which we will dive more into during the show. But, just to give you some context, he is a former CPA turned entrepreneur and coffee guru. He took that leap of faith and left the business world to pursue his dreams of making a difference in the world through being a father and starting a company of his own, Drew Coffee. Drew Coffee is a single batch sustainably roasting company that was recently released a few weeks ago that Andrew considers his “second baby” (PS they have another human on the way). Andrew and I have developed a friendship over these last few months and actually had the chance to grab a coffee with him last time I was in LA.   If you are having a hard time making decisions to get to the place where you want to be, and you're always comparing your status to other people's lives, then you must listen to this episode.    Daniella and Andrew will make us realize that knowing what you really want, loving what you do, and being happy for other people's achievements will give us genuine happiness and contentment.   Topics we discussed:   How Daniella and Andrew met each other   Daniella's story about what she missed out when she was in and out of school at the age of 13   How working full time in the entertainment industry at the age of 15 affected Daniella's mental health   Why Daniella thinks many young stars spiral downward   What are the things Daniella does to lift herself up and how she pivoted out of acting   Andrew's backstory from college to being an entrepreneur   How Daniella and Andrew started their podcast   Andrew's story about his decision to stop drinking   Comparison trap, and how they dealt with it   Other things that shifted Daniella's energy into continuing her own journey   Daniella's explanation about what plant-based means   How Andrew and Daniella deal with COVID   Meditations they both do   What's next for Andrew Gardner and Daniella Monet? Adulting Like a Mother Father   The focus is to ask questions that get people thinking about what they can do themselves versus looking for validation, what they can do to move forward, and whatever they've been dealing with in their lives, how do they succeed in adulting.   Drew Coffee   They use an air roasting process, which is a lot cleaner for the environment.   It's ethically sustainably sourced from smallholder producers who own less than 25 acres. So these aren't these massive farms and their farming practices are typically done in organic fashion, they may not have the certs just because of the cost and paperwork factor. But the work is still done that way.   Takeaways:   In the entertainment industry, where a lot of people are very self centric, you have to be super mindful of who you're hanging out with, and whether they have your best interests at heart at the end of the day.   The important thing is to never close yourself off to other opportunities.    “I'm more happy with my family, my kid, focusing on our businesses, focusing on fitness, coffee, specifically. They fill me up. They make me feel way better than a drink does. And so for me, at this point in my life, it's enough for me to say, I don't really need it because there's plenty else out there for me.” -Andrew Gardner   It's not always easy. But that (applauding others for their success) is the only way you're gonna get what you want in life. There's no other way around it.   If you think about your time ending at some point, and where you're at right now, if it's not where you want to be, you've got to do the things to get where you want to be in that short amount of time, because it's ending at some point.

LIVSN creates versatile and sustainable apparel designed to last longer. Andrew is dedicated to values of sustainability and conscious capitalism. He truly believes business success and social progress go hand in hand and he has built LIVSN on these ideals from day one. Facebook Twitter Instagram   The Outdoor Biz Podcast   Please give us a rating and review HERE   Show Notes Sponsors CreativeLive Jack Black Things we talked about How Andrew got into the Outdoors I grew up here in Fayetteville and the Arkansas mountains. Fayetteville itself is a really hilly and woodsy area.  My dad always told me when I was a kid, well, you know, we're living in a forest. That was after I was complaining about spiders being in my bedroom. I never got rid of that, we're living in a forest. As a kid, I was in Scouts and we'd go out with my dad. At the time he was a loan officer for chicken farms, which took us out into the backwoods a lot and out to these farms. He'd take me with him and I'd go explore, everywhere has its own natural beauty. The thing I really love about the Ozarks is there's these really just enchanting little hollows and micro scenery areas where you just get into this little Valley, these little hollows, rock outcroppings and caves, and creeks. And as a kid, I would just wander down into those. It was pretty much ingrained into me. I had a bike when I was five or six and basically, Fayetteville became my playground. Arkansas master naturalist That was something that I got into with my wife and then also my dad. It was a radio ad on NPR that said become an Arkansas master naturalist learned about the flora and fauna of your state and get involved in conservation and education. And that spoke to me. So I looked it up and showed it to my wife and my dad and said, Hey, you do want to do this? And they said, yeah. So we were really into that as a decently intensive education program where you learn about the geography, the flora, the plants, and the fauna, the animals of the state and the region of what makes it unique and what are the ecological drivers of the area so that you can go out and educate and translate and be an active part of the environmental community in the area in Arkansas. First Outdoor Job Fayettechill was probably my first professional job. I'd say that in the sense that it was a full-time job, but before that I had worked as a raft guide for the Nantahala Outdoor Center in Tennessee. I spent a season doing that and I would consider that probably my first outdoor job. Fayettechill Small Business Revolution.org story  Why LIVSN I wanted to be in the outdoor industry for the rest of my life. I spent a brief time in the tech industry as a CMO of a tech company and raising money, going to Silicon Valley and saw the backside of that industry. And it was ugly. It was everybody's side hustle had a side hustle, right? You can never tell what someone's real passion was. And in the outdoor industry, it's not perfect, but it's not that. It's people that are really passionate for the most part about what they're doing from a lifestyle design point of view, wanting to be there. The strategic and I guess the philosophical side of it is I wanted to be proud of what I built, the way I set goals in life. But the way that I get there is every bit as important as getting there. And so it was this idea of building a company that deserves to exist. Building products that deserve to exist. And so I wrote down basically a series of essays, which are pretty much still on our website. This is like, how we'll be, right. This is our values, our mission, what we're trying to live pretty much like a manifesto. It was just perfect. We're going to build products that deserve to exist that are differentiated, that are high quality. Advice I would focus on creating something that is purely your own. We've been hiring lately and the ability for someone to say, look at this, that I built, and that doesn't mean a thing. And then I have to build an actual product or a physical thing, could be a podcast for example, a work Podcast, a portfolio of work photos, a blog, even your Instagram, like it could be a tool. It's showing that you're the personal initiative that you are the right kind of person. Cause a lot of times, especially for me when I'm hiring, I want to know who you are. It's a big part of it, especially the first few hires at a business. That's a big part of your success is going beyond your personality, how well you mesh. And if it's just a resume that says, I worked this role at this business, you know, I did this and that's all that it is, job functions that make work. But really what's going to work is saying, here's that, but here's me. And it's something I built, and this is how I'm gonna approach this. And so if you want to get into the outdoor industry somehow capture that.
