One of the most frequent requests we get is to hear directly from indie founders. Today's conversation is just that. And we did it in style. James Nord, founder of Fohr, has had a front row seat to indie having been one of the very first investments we made. In turn, I've had a front row seat for their growth from hundreds of thousands in revenue to 10s of millions.

In Ep. 84 of Earned, we chat with James Nord, former Tumblr star, podcast host, and founder and CEO of ambassador marketing company Fohr. We start by learning the origin story behind Fohr's most well-known program, developed in partnership with Sephora: the Sephora Squad. James explains why the program was built on creators' genuine passion for beauty over follower size, and shares the company's motto: “don't spend good money on fake love.” Next, we dive into the evolution of the influencer marketing industry over the last decade, and James reveals why he believes that creator content will be the future of brand communications. Conor and James discuss the thrill of pioneering a new industry, before talking about their leadership philosophies during times of growth and uncertainty. We then pivot to discuss James' past as a successful Tumblr influencer, and hear how the challenge of connecting with brands inspired the concept behind Fohr.In this episode, you will learn:The origin story behind the Sephora SquadWhy creator content is the future of brand communicationsHow leadership style evolves with company growthResources:FohrConnect with the Guest(s):James Nord's LinkedInConnect with Conor Begley & CreatorIQ:Conor's LinkedIn - @conormbegleyCreatorIQ LinkedIn - @creatoriqFollow us on social:CreatorIQ YouTube - @TribeDynamicsCreatorIQ Instagram - @creatoriqCreatorIQ TikTok - @creator.iqCreatorIQ Twitter - @CreatorIQ

This week we have Founder and CEO of Fohr, James Nord, gracing our ears with wisdom, wit and y'all can't see it but a wicked sense of style. It's incredible how well dressed he is all the time.

It's incredible, his advice is invaluable, and because I can't get over alliteration today and it's true, this episode is indelible. Listen now!

In the last few years, the world has witnessed the advertising industry adapt to an ultra modern way of reaching consumers through influencer marketing. This relatively new medium where content creators on social media can partner with brands for the purpose of maintaining brand perception, potential sales and social relevance, has served as a catalyst for professionalizing new industries.  At the forefront of the movement is James Nord who co-founded the world's first influencer marketing/tech company, Fohr. Following a recent New York Times article about the company's newly launched ambassador program, AMP, James touches on industry realities, what it's like handling million dollar budgets and the realities of building a pacesetting company through successes and controversy.

Fohr | James Nord, Founder Recently, I mentioned on this show and social (links below) that I wanted to learn more about the world of influencers. Recently, I launched that series with Alex Mack from Dyson; here's that show if you want to hear more. From it, I learned that "noise of influencer tech" was a perceived pain point. To learn more about it, I tapped on the shoulder of an influencer tech pioneer. James Nord founded Fohr, which Nord calls "quite simply the finest influencer marketing company on God's green earth," in 2012. This makes Fohr one of, if not the first influencer marketing platforms in existence. But James is now noticing a world creeping in beyond that of influencers -- that of ambassadors. How is that different? And how do you get ambassador marketing right? (James has actual rules for it.) Find out on today's Authentic Avenue podcast episode. You can also learn more about Fohr's take on it here: https://www.fohr.co/ambassadors.

#28: This week's episode has me thinking about some things that have come up for me during therapy over the last two weeks. What if I wanted to change my career at 35 years old? Am I too old? Is one career change too many? Am I fulfilled? I get to the bottom of how to think through that internal questioning and check-in with yourself, as well as the role of luck in making any career a success. I wrap up the episode with a short conversation on personal wellness and the importance of open dialogue in working through a problem or improving a circumstance. During this show I cover the following topics: 1) Career pivoting, 2) Luck's role in success, and 3) Open dialogue as a key to any relationship.

Todays guest is a man who takes fashion very seriously. Unlike the majority of men in the world who throw on a few items, and that is the grooming done, he prides himself on looking not just like he got dressed, but that he was designed for the event. Even to wearing a tie at the weekend….yep I kid you not. His image is one of sophisticated class, and so its not a surprise that with a love of looking good, his career has moved towards the fashion industry since arriving in New York City. A dreamer, and a thinker, he seems to have a naturally strong competitive streak, that has run through much of his life since growing up in Georgia. If he is going to do something then he doesn't want to be just of those guys that is happy to simply be taking part. He wants to win. He excelled at wrestling, and racquetball and for a while was almost invincible at both but just fell short at greatness and state recognition. But it is fascinating to see someone's life come together in such a way that you can see the elements he displayed early on his life being displayed with such force. He has moved through jobs at quite a speed, not staying much longer than a year at most, but all the while learning the skills, and fine tuning the talents which has led him along with his business partner Richard to launch Fohr card. They founded Fohr card with the purpose of bringing together two groups of people who share a love for storytelling, creative bloggers and creative brands. Alone, each can create beautiful stories. Together they believe they can create even greater ones. It is that passion to connect and inspire which is the corner stone to everything that he does. So what is about visuals and storytelling that so thrills him daily? And where does he see his vision developing in the future? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots, probably the most well dressed man I have ever had on, the one and only Mr James Nord.
