Zack Naylor, Co-founder and CEO of Aurelius Labs, has been assisting entrepreneurs in researching customer insights to facilitate the development of excellent products. He talks to Geordie about his journey.  What You’ll Learn The meaning of research, according to Zack How Zack came up with his SaaS company How did Zack come up with his MVP? How Zack and his co-founder structured the company How Aurelius Labs acquired its first customers Why word of mouth marketing is an effective strategy Strategies that Zack and his team have used to achieve growth Importance of remaining active on social media platforms Why Zack and his co-founder were against the idea of acquiring venture capital In this Episode: Market research plays a critical role in helping companies understand the needs of their target customers. Getting feedback from your audience enables you to manufacture the ideal goods that meet customer demands. Zack says his company specializes in user experience, people, product, and market research. The SaaS Company is often defined as an analysis tool or research repository. According to Zack, Aurelius Labs is an all-inclusive platform that allows entrepreneurs to capture feedback, notes, and data from calls, customers, and usability testing. Zack and his team help entrepreneurs to evaluate such data and convert it into core insights. Further, you can leverage the Aurelius Labs platform to search, share and reuse the data based on your needs. Zack gives his definition of research which you can learn about by listening to the podcast.    The ideal Aurelius Labs customer is medium-sized businesses and user experience teams. Zack’s background lies in product strategy and user experience. It is no doubt that he ventured into a related industry. Zack says he spent 15 years of his life working in this industry. Together with his co-founder, they worked at a consultancy firm and would be hired to work on SaaS projects as a team. Zack says he learned a specific lesson and identified a particular challenge from interacting with different clients. What lesson and challenge was this? Listen to the podcast to find out. Zack tells the exciting story of how he came up with his MVP. Find out all the details from the podcast. After Zack shared the MVP idea with his co-founder, they started building it immediately. The platform was bootstrapped for approximately five years, during which they also had full time jobs. They were later laid off at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. From there, they decided to focus on Aurelius Labs full-time. Building an MVP can be a long time-consuming process, as Zack explains. He says they redesigned and redeveloped their application a record three times. Listen to the podcast to find out why they scrapped the app three times. Launching a company can be a challenging process but acquiring your first customer is equally hard. Zack recalls how Aurelius Labs got their first lot of customers in this podcast. What started by charging customers per project is today an established company complete with three plans that customers can choose from. Zack gives a detailed explanation of how the payment plans work and how they help customers choose the right plan for their needs. You will get all the details from the podcast. Zack runs a podcast which he says does not market his SaaS Company. He mentions why he launched the podcast, and you can find the reasons in this podcast. Navigating through the COVID season has not been an easy task for different companies globally. Zack says they have adopted various marketing strategies to push the growth of their company. However, they have experienced a decline in some of their marketing strategies over the COVID season. Still, he is confident that things will get better soon. According to Zack, his team has been occupied with product development, leaving minimal time to apply a wide range of marketing strategies. He highlights some of the techniques they have used before to push for growth and you can determine them from the podcast. When did Zack and his team get their big break? Zack has an interesting answer to this question. He mentions that regardless of how good your company is doing, there is always a risk ahead. Sometimes you may be excited that you are finally making it. However, the feeling doesn’t last as often a cloud of uncertainty engulfs you, and you start wondering where you should go from there. Zack and Joseph, his co-founder, were against getting venture capital from the beginning. Find out his reasons from this podcast. Zack concludes the podcast by saying you do not have to incur considerable risks to start a business that you are passionate about.  Resources Zack Naylor LinkedIn Zack Naylor Twitter Zack Naylor Aurelius Lab

There are few moments scarier in life than when you examine where you are in your career and say to yourself: “I don’t want to be doing this anymore.” Whether you’ve been pigeonholed your entire career and you hate the kinds of projects you work on today, or because you can’t financially afford to say ‘No’ to the wrong gigs, or because you’re afraid of building something on your own because it’s easier to work for others, or [insert your excuse here], it’s hard coming to the realization that you need to make a major change in your life. The only thing harder than that moment...is the years of hard work that comes after it. What differentiates those who successfully make major life transitions versus those who continue to stay stuck? What differentiates the “winners” from everyone else? Whether you are pursuing your ‘dream job’ or building your own business, how can you put yourself in the financial position to have greater freedom over your future career choices, global pandemic or otherwise? And most importantly, how do YOU define your version of a “Rich Life?” In today’s podcast interview I have the pleasure of chatting with one of the world’s foremost experts on all of these topics. Ramit Sethi is the founder of I Will Teach You to Be Rich, and author of the New York Times bestseller, "I Will Teach You To Be Rich." He writes about money, business, and psychology for 1 million+ readers every month. And he is also my business mentor and the #1 influence that helped me transition from being “just an editor” to making a living on my terms by podcasting, coaching, & mentoring. Get ready for 60+ minutes of knowledge bombs, because this podcast could change the direction of your entire life. And if you don’t believe that’s possible, my entire life changed five years ago the first time I heard Ramit Sethi on a podcast, and I wouldn’t be here today had I not listened, taken notes, and most importantly...taken action. Want to Hear More Episodes Like This One? » Click here to subscribe and never miss another episode Here's What You'll Learn: The story behind the (scammy sounding) “I Will Teach You To Be Rich” brand name. Why Ramit called it that and how he responded to pressure to change the name. How frustrating it can be when you really want to help people and know you’re good at it, but people don’t want to listen. And how that frustration can lead to your first ‘pivotal moment’ as a potential entrepreneur. How Ramit started his financial blog with no expectation of making money at it. The big break that changed the trajectory of his life, and how Ramit works to engineer the ‘good luck’ that attracts those opportunities. Why professional freelancers & business owners are often better equipped to handle economic uncertainty. (Like the "unprecedented" COVID-19 pandemic we're currently living through.) Ramit’s advice for people who don’t want to rely on someone else’s projects for income and want to start a business of their own, but don’t know where to start. Try this powerful exercise: “If you had prepared for a pandemic what would that look like?” The importance of saying “no” to gigs that don’t align with your goals as a freelancer. And how so many of us find ourselves running in place or pigeonholed because we keep saying “yes” to the wrong projects. What does it really mean to pursue a rich life? How to take this pandemic as an opportunity - even when it looks like a huge setback. Ramit Sethi’s “C.E.O.” model of creating a rich life. The “Ah-Ha!” moment when Zack realized: “There’s a limit to what I can cut, but no limit to what I can earn.” Why most of us are asking the wrong financial questions. Discover the kinds of questions we should be asking instead. How to overcome the fear: “Who do I think I am? How dare I try to start a business and ask people for money in exchange for my services?” How to create a system to organize your finances with multiple bank accounts and set yourself up for ‘guilt-free spending’. (Learn more in chapter 5 of Ramit’s book.) How Zack’s ‘guilt-free spending’ account might have saved his marriage.

Zack Oates is an entrepreneur, hot tubber, blogger and husband (but not in that order, necessarily). It took him over 1,000 dates to find his wife (worth the wait) and has documented his journey on BowlofOates.com. Annie is a Fashion designer who runs her a design shop and shows off her up-cycling at heyannieo.com when she's not momming or wifing it up like a boss.They are a hashtag power couple.3:30 - The most important mentors in life are those who are just a few steps ahead of you.4:30 - How Zack and Annie met5:20 - Rule #1: You can kiss on the first date, as long as you marry them!6:15  - What Zack learned after 1000 dates7:20 - Fireworks vs Smolder8:40 - “God, if this wrong, tell me now….because I’m going for it!”9:10 - Choose your love, and love your choice.10:15 - Lots of people like to warn us that the first year of marriage is the hardest, but it doesn’t have to be that way10:30 - Mission lesson: It’s not about obedience, it’s about love. “Obedience is the first law, but love is the greatest” Marriage is very similar. Love and serve your companion.12:45 - “You’ve made your choice. Now, spend the rest of your life making it the right choice.”14:30 The first year of marriage was not as hard as everyone painted it to be, but it was still an adjustment for them.17:15 - If your friends are having a bad day or do something mean, you can leave. But in marriage, you’ve got to deal with it!18:00 Marriage is easier than dating - it’s a different kind of hard.19:45 There are many people who will say, regardless of what stage of life you’re in, “Oh [this stage] is the worst!”12:30 There are other people who will say that whatever stage is NEXT in life, is the hardest. “You just wait!”21:00 People who are optimistic will always be able to find the good. (and vice versa)22:10 Slug Bug analogy. “You find what you’re looking for.”23:50 If you want to hear the voice of God, listen. If you want to see the hand of God, look. If you want to feel the love of God, serve.24:15 “The world, with all its sham and drudgery, is still a beautiful place.” There is an abundance of joy available to us, but we have to CHOOSE to take it.25:30 The ritual of a Weekly Companionship Inventory26:15 Things that make marriage hard - family, sex, money, communication, and forgetting the small stuff. Companionship inventory helps to address all of these things on a regular basis.27:40 Steps to a good inventory: #1. Offer a reason you love the other specifically from the week #2. Ask what can I do to improve or be better #3. Go over finances #4. Set your schedule for the week.28:45 “Real-time feedback”29:45 Go to marriage counseling BEFORE there is a problem. Gather the tools and skills you need to be prepared when issues arise.30:15 While communicating, learn how to dig for the deeper meaning or intentions behind your partner’s words. Sometimes the conversation needs to keep going in order to truly understand each other. Get to the root issue.31:00 A lot of our actions are rooted in our fears and insecurities. It’s important to understand what our partner’s fears are in order to have context surrounding why they do what they do. This can lead to more empathy versus anger.32:00 Fight or Flight mode is instinctual during arguments and stress. When your partner shuts down, lashes out, or takes flight during an argument, it’s not effective to just tell them to stop or return the anger. It’s important to ask yourself, “What could I be doing that has put them into fight or flight mode? What am I doing that is making them feel unsafe?”33:00 The other person’s perception of reality is the only reality that they have.36:05 Low Negativity Threshold (resolve issues quickly to avoid resentment)37:45 Dishes analogy38:25 Your brain perceives emotional pain in the same place that it perceives physical pain. Our natural instinct is to pull away from whatever is causing us pain. You need to repair that emotional wound in order to close the gap that the hurt created.40:30 An apology does not have to be an admission of guilt, but an opportunity to heal your partner41:30 Be quick to apologize and quick to forgive. Acknowledge the hurt that was made, heal, and move on.42:05 Give genuine compliments often.44:00 If marriage is for eternity, why not make is something to be stoked about?44:45 Surround yourself with people who LOVE marriage and have a positive outlook.47:10 Find what you value most and have a “thing” that you do together. Always have something to look forward to.49:30 Alma 32 - comparing the seed to love and marriage (it takes effort and nourishment)52:25 In dating, sometimes there are good seeds and good soil that just aren’t compatible with each other, and that’s okay!55:25 When the seed finally takes root and begins to grow, even if it’s slow,it can truly become something “sweet above all that is sweet”56:20 Marry your best friend56:30 “Strive to be happy”57:05 “Teach it to me, or take it from me”

124 : Sports Injury Surveillance, When Should You Be Concerned By The Stats? w/ Dr. Zachary Kerr                                       Dr. Zachary (Zack) Kerr is the Research Director for the Center for the Study of Retired Athletes and an Assistant Professor in the department of Exercise and Sport Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.  Zack previously served as the Director of the NCAA Injury Surveillance Program and has published more than 75 research articles related to injury surveillance.  I came across his work after seeing the Vox video featured below, which highlights former USA women's hockey player, Josephine Pucci and her struggle with post concussion syndrome. In this episode Zack teaches us the in's and out's of sports injury research and how to look at it both objectively, intelligently and effectively. Below you will find a list of other topics we touch on throughout our conversation: “YOU CAN HAVE THE DATA TELL THE STORY YOU WANT IT TO.” What is Epidemiology? the study of what hurts or kills you and what we can do to prevent what hurts and kills us. How Zack got into sports injuries while at The Ohio State University. How our perception of injuries can be skewed by the media and why the media can be a double-edged sword when it comes to sports safety. Zack's thoughts on states banning tackle football in the wake of research publications on CTE. The Haddon Approach to injury prevention. CTE found in 99% of studied brains from deceased NFL players, how to look at this study objectively? Why injury surveillance is so complicated and the challenges that exist with data collection. The role of athletic trainers in injury surveillance. The difficulty with surveillance in the pros and in youth sports. How to effectively implement injury prevention interventions based on research. What defines an injury? "CONCUSSIONS ARE LIKE SNOW FLAKES." Why the delayed onset of concussion symptoms make epidemiology difficult. Risk vs. Rate and why you should care. The numbers parents, policy makers and coaches should focus on. How to be an informed consumer of research : PROMPT  Injury prevention framework : Identify, research the problem, develop prevention strategies, analyze how things have changed, repeat. Why we might be jumping the gun with CTE prevention strategies. The socioeconomics of USA Football's Heads Up program and the health disparity gap it might be creating – why proper implementation of interventions is important. Why we shouldn’t try to reinvent the wheel when trying to implement injury prevention interventions. Social influencer's role in injury prevention and how it relates to HIV prevention – The beginnings of a cultural shift. Gender differences and concussions. Why we should focus our attention on sports other than football when is comes to concussions. What The Center For The Study of Retired Athletes is working on to today. The life after sports project Zack is working with our episode 90 guest, Neha Uberoi Remington the emotional support dog at UNC Baseball. How Zack's dog keeps him balanced. The tremendous respect Zack has gained for athletes throughout his career.  Why Zack is most excited for further exploring injuries at the youth level. WHERE CAN YOU CONNECT WITH ZACK?
