122: In the Consequences of the Startup Life, Jon Carder, founder of Vessel Health, joins host William Glass to discuss his 23+ year entrepreneurial journey. From bootstrapping early in his career to raising venture capital, Jon experienced all of the classic trials and tribulations of being a startup founder. Living on Ramen early in his career helped him through the bootstrapping phase, but ultimately took a toll on his health. After discovering functional medicine, Jon was able to revitalize his health and wellbeing. Vessel Health was born to help bring functional medicine to the masses.

He built four start-ups over the last 23 years, including successful 3 exits. Jon has raised ~$100M in venture capital and hired hundreds of employees. That entrepreneurial lifestyle eventually took its toll and he started having challenges with low energy, brain fog, and trouble sleeping. These problems prevented Jon from consistently showing up as his best self. After talking to friends, he realized that these issues were actually pretty common. Jon learned that through lab work he could identify the root cause of some of the problems and improve them, but that wasn't going to happen with his conventional doctor. After a lot of searching he eventually found a functional medicine doctor, who was able to identify, through expensive blood work, that Jon had nutrient deficiencies and high toxin levels. So, Jon adjusted his supplements, nutrition and lifestyle accordingly. And, within a month, he was feeling the best he had felt in years. This inspired Jon to start Vessel and use new technology to empower people to track and improve their wellness from home. www.vesselhealth.com Silicon Alley is a Financial Glass Production --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/silicon-alley/message
As a health entrepreneur there can be a roller-coaster of emotions. If it attracts you, it excites you. You love everything about health, wellness, fitness and you like reading it, watching it, doing it. You're drawn to new books of all kinds - cookbooks, detox books, and you're following influencers and educators learning as much as you can. Then there's the resistance. As you look around you, not all in your immediate environment are seeking the same kind of growth or knowledge. They resist change and enjoy their lifestyle even if not their results. To them, you're the oddball, the obsessed, and constantly thinking and talking about health. So from one health entrepreneur to another, I bring you this episode with Jon Carder. Each of us gets to our own tolerance level. Whether it's our health or our illness tolerance, or it's the resistance from others. Unless you surround yourself with enough people who do believe, who get you, and who are like you, it's all too easy to wonder, is it you? Are you the one going in the wrong direction? Are you a lone health entrepreneur? For me, this happened in 1982-86. I was shifting into a world I'd never been exposed to before. One that was wide open with other ways to choose how to live and care for yourself. And I loved it and was thriving thanks to it. But constant comments and swimming upstream in a world not tuned into health, wellness, and fitness as more than a “craze” was hard. As it turns out, I was ahead of my time. But without a community who felt the same. So this is for you if you're in need of community and a reminder this will always happen if you're starting something. Questions we answer in this episode: You described yourself as a hotdog salesman shut down at an early age… and that was the beginning. What was the attraction for you? It really wasn't a love for hotdogs… why do you think you didn't just want to be shooting hoops or hanging at the pool? From hotdogs to making health more accessible to more people, that's a pivot. Describe your business entrepreneurial pivots due to failures… You quit college to do your own business, what kind of resistance did you experience? Did your parents love the fact you quit college?

Jon Carder is the founder of Mogl - a frictionless online to offline rewards program & Empyr - an online to offline ad platform. Mogl/Empyr has raised $50M from investors like Sigma Partners or Aequitas Capital. In college Jon founded eHeaven, an online e-commerce superstore that was purchased by BabyUniverse in 2002. Jon Carder then founded Client Shop, a website dedicated to finding consumers the lowest rates on home loans. ClientShop was sold to Internet Brands in 2006. Prior to Mogl, Jon Carder founded MojoPages.com, an online local search engine which received $5M (series A) from Austin Ventures and operates out of La Jolla, CA.
Empyr is a card-linked online-to-offline (O2O) commerce platform that generates serious revenue for websites and apps while rewarding their users with cash back at local merchants. Websites and apps use Empyr's API or private-label solution to display offline offers, such as 10% cash back at a local restaurant or retail store. Consumers earn cash back simply by linking any debit or credit card and using it to pay at the store, eliminating the need for coupons or vouchers. The website or app where the consumer linked their card earns revenue from the offline purchase, and the merchant is able to attribute actual sales to a specific website or app. Empyr's technology is made possible through partnerships with all three major credit card associations including Visa and MasterCard. Each year in the US over $3 trillion in offline commerce is being driven by websites and apps, but most of that is not being tracked or monetized, representing a large untapped opportunity. With Empyr, online to offline is solved.

After selling his company for millions at age 26, Jon Carder briefly retires to surf the South Pacific. It turns out to be a very short "retirement" that lasts only about 3 weeks... “I think doing a business for money is absolutely the wrong motivation and will actually lead to a lot of challenges. “The only thing you have to do to be successful is to be better than just about everyone else at just one thing. It's simple but it's not easy." ~Jon Carder At just 26, Jon Carder was featured on the cover of Fortune Small Business magazine (link) wearing just board shorts and holding a surfboard as the sun set with the title, "Time to Sell?" He had just sold his company for millions and was ready to "retire" and surf. But Jon Carder isn't your typical Southern California surf rat. He's also been featured in Business Insider and dozens of other publications and is an active member of the Entrepreneurs Organization and a mentor with The Founders Institute. He has founded several multi-million-dollar companies, and along the way has raised upwards of $35 million. While his "success" story is legendary, it's actually his entire story— the failures, the struggles and all the hard work, agility and perseverance — that make for a very educational and entertaining interview, particularly for the aspiring entrepreneur. In this episode, Jon recounts his unique journey from selling microwaved hot dogs in his neighborhood as a kid, to selling baby products at a swap meet in college and later selling one of his companies for millions. Today, Jon is on the precipice of changing the face of online-to-offline commerce with his innovative technology. In this episode JC shares: Why not to start any business The surfing insight that led to his abundance mindset How following others' insights helped him evolve his companies Why great marketing can never make up for poor customer service — there's a funny story here The critical importance of focus How he picked himself up through failure and depression to start his second company— the one he ultimately sold! How three months into his next company they netted over $100,000 How he actually applied the lessons learned from his prior company failure The birthing of MojoPages, MOGL and of course, Empyr His desire and passion to create a positive impact Donating about 1 million meals to help feed those in need The origination of his online-to-offline platform and API, a HUGE opportunity resulting from his persistence and something known as the "corridor principle" The KEY mindset that carries him through the darkest of times Relax HARD! His key success habits these days and so much more... “What really makes me happy is following that journey, and not just for the ups and downs, but doing it for the potential positive impact…the bigger the impact the more thrilling the ride." ---------------------------------------------------- Subscribe Don't miss a single episode.
