For some entrepreneurs, risk is just part of the game. But for the reluctant entrepreneur, whose endeavors come as a response to a need they've identified, risk can feel more like a necessary evil. That's why you need to learn to harness risk. Stacey Abrams, an entrepreneur and scale leader both in and outside of politics, is a perfect example of how harnessing risk can be key to your success. Outside of politics, she's started three companies with her business partner, Lara Hodgson. Their new book, Level Up: Rise Above the Hidden Forces Holding Your Business Back, dives into the lessons learned from those experiences. She also founded and scaled two voting rights organizations: the New Georgia Project and Fair Fight Action, as well as the census mobilization effort Fair Count and the Southern Economic Advancement Project.Read Level Up: Rise Above the Hidden Forces Holding Your Business Back, by Stacey Abrams and Lara HodgsonRead a transcript of this episode: https://mastersofscale.comSubscribe to the Masters of Scale weekly newsletter: https://mastersofscale.com/subscribeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In 2010, we created NowAccount ® because waiting for our customers to pay their invoices was causing our business to grow out of business. Initially, we celebrated landing big contracts and getting big orders from customers, but weeks and weeks would pass before invoices would get paid. We needed working capital to pay our suppliers and our employees but our cash was tied up in our unpaid invoices. Basically we were a free bank to our customers. Everyone told us to get a line of credit or try factoring (we call factoring the “f word”), and we thought, “Why should we have to borrow money or factor when we are the lender? There had to be a better way!” Now there is a better way! (every pun intended). With NowAccount, businesses can get paid their actual revenue immediately without being forced to turn to risky and expensive loans or factoring.

Lara and her Co-Founder Stacey Abrams are behind Now, an invoice payment solution that redefines when businesses get paid.  Nicole and Lara get into conversation about how they started Now to solve their own problem, why it takes intention to be an advocate for people whose voices are often left out, and the story of their entrepreneurial journey.

Lara is the CEO and co-founder of Now®️, the fintech startup enabling small businesses to grow through its invoice payment solution that redefines how and when companies get paid.  Lara started a small biz with Stacey Abrams but had to shut it down after they got a massive order because once they fulfilled it, the big company didn't pay back the invoice on time, so Lara and Stacey ran out of cash and had to close. They co-founded Now®️ to help small business owners avoid that problem and keep the lights on, especially when economic times get tough. 47% of U.S. small businesses say getting paid back by large companies is taking longer than ever; the average wait time has gone from 48 days to 70 days.Twitter of Host: @mbitpodcastTwitter of Guest: @NOWaccountLara

NowAccount pays businesses their invoices now, while they await their clients' payments for their services/products. Why? Companies are more likely to grow out of business than they are to go out of business. Prior to Now, Lara co-founded Nourish (the manufacturing company), and Insomnia, LLC, a firm specializing in investment, development, and management of complex and innovative “world-changing” projects. She also co-wrote a book about business with her good friend and business parter Stacey Abrams.

Lara Hodgson talks about navigating a critical turning point when you either level up or give up building your business.

I know I have heard people claim that bad weather causes aches and pains in their body. Is that real? Can the weather affect your joints or bones in a way that causes it to hurt? Listen as I explore the science regarding the connection to weather and pain. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-4105520/Don-t-blame-weather-pain-scientists-discover-no-linktwo.html At least for humans, falling in love seems to be a lot easier than staying in love. Why is that? Social anthropologist Helen Fisher author of the book Anatomy of Love: A Natural History of Mating, Marriage, and Why We Stray (http://amzn.to/2EvFAvd) joins me to discuss the inner workings of love between 2 people; what often goes wrong and how to keep the romance alive.  When you create a goal for yourself, there is a tendency to focus on how hard or it is going to be to achieve. Yet, there is some really interesting research that indicates that's about the worst thing you can do. If you change the way you look at the goal, it becomes easier to achieve. One of the people conducting the research is Emily Balcetis a social psychologist and associate professor of psychology at New York University. She is author of the book Clearer, Closer, Better: How Successful People See the World (https://amzn.to/2RBvUF7) and she joins me to offer you advice on achieving your goals with less struggle.

And how your name can help to shape who you are for the rest of your life. https://www.theifod.com/how-does-your-name-shape-who-you-are/ When someone with charisma walks into a room, you can see it right away.

Lara Hodgson is the CEO and co-founder of Now®️, a fintech startup enabling minority-owned small businesses to grow through its invoice payment solution that redefines how and when companies get paid. Lara also serves as an Entrepreneur in Residence at Harvard Business School and is an internationally recognized speaker, leading seminars on creativity, innovation, and access to capital.  Lara joins me on Tech Talks Daily to share lessons from the growing pains of starting her own small business with Stacey Abrams and their guide for entrepreneurs highlighted in their upcoming book, Level Up. In 2010, they created NowAccount because they were sick of waiting for their customers to pay. Initially, they celebrated when they landed a big contract, but weeks and weeks would pass and payment would still be outstanding. They needed working capital to continue business operations and their cash was tied up in their invoices. Everyone told them to get a line of credit or try factoring, and they thought, “Why should we have to borrow money or factor when we are the free bank to our customers? There had to be a better way!” I also learn more about her entrepreneurial journey as a female founder and startup story about how and why she co-founded Now®️. Finally, we discuss the ongoing effects of COVID-19 on small businesses and the importance of supporting small, minority-owned businesses.

Have you ever been driving down the highway and someone in the backseat rolls a window down and you get that horrible thumping in your ear? A lot of people think it's just something weird about THEIR car. It's not. This episode begins with an explanation of why that happens in most every car and how you make it stop. https://www.familyhandyman.com/article/wind-buffeting-how-to-stop-it/ If I told you I think you are delusional, you might take offense to that. However, you ARE delusional, and it happens to be a good thing. That's according Stuart Vyze, a behavioral scientist, teacher and author of a book called The Uses of Delusion: Why It's Not Always Rational to be Rational (https://amzn.to/3HhzJG7). Stuart explains why being just a little delusional helps us all cope with life and helps us achieve our goals. Humans are supposed to be the most highly evolved species on planet earth. If that is true, why we do have so many physical problems. Back pain, bad vision, foot problems and more are all rampant throughout the population. Are we designed poorly, or have we just not finished evolving into the creatures we will one day become? That is what Alex Bezzerides wanted to know. Alex is a professor of biology and author of the book Evolution Gone Wrong: The Curious Reasons Why Our Bodies Work (Or Don't) (https://amzn.to/3HhzJG7). Alex takes us on an interesting journey into the world of human evolution and explains why we are the way we are and what we may become some day in the future.

Lara Hodgson, Co-Founder, President and CEO of Now is our special guest this week on episode 121 of the Leaders in Payments podcast. Lara grew up Atlanta, Georgia. She got her undergraduate degree in Aerospace Engineering from Georgia Tech and went to business school at Harvard. She has started several businesses in her career including Insomnia and Nourish – which was the inspiration for starting Now.  Now helps small and medium size businesses get paid immediately after sending an invoice. Their customers sign up for a NowAccount, upload their invoices into their NowAccount and their receivables are basically converted into cash.  It isn't factoring and it isn't a line of credit. Lara shares an interesting startup story about how the company was formed and why. Lara has a passion for her family including being room mom and team mom. She loves education and children. She has a professional passion for leveling the playing field for small businesses. 

Lara Hodgson, Co-Founder, President & CEO at NOW Corp, is what we consider total innovation goals. She's a perfectly balanced blend of creative genius and execution oriented team-builder, and naturally an astrophysicist and Harvard B-School Grad. What does all of this add up to? A ground-breaking formula for innovation success. Like an actual formula. You have to listen in because it does add up. Check out Lara's altruistic take on what is at the heart of innovation and the importance of significance over success. Fun Fact: Lara had a thriving hand-made hair accessories business when she was 14, only then to have her Mom force a shut-down so Lara would focus on her education (spoiler alert - things worked out in the end for Lara).

In collaboration with Startup Exchange, Georgia Tech's Student Entrepreneur Community, Serial Entrepreneur Lara Hodgson came to Tech Square for young startups to learn about her rise to success from Georgia Tech student to CEO of NOW Corporation and Entrepreneur in Residence at Harvard Business School. Lara heads NOW Corporation, a B2B financing company that helps corporations grow quickly by allowing businesses to access customer payment immediately. Prior to NOW, she co-founded Nourish, a firm specializing in investment, and Insomnia a project management company. Lara has served as Chief Operating Officer of Dewberry Capital Corporation, a commercial real estate company. Lara was also on the founding team of Dunk, serving as Executive Vice President to the performance footwear and apparel manufacturing/retail company founded with Shaquille O’Neal and Mike Piazza. Her extensive career has led her to be an Entrepreneur in Residence at Harvard Business School and an internationally recognized speaker, leading seminars on creativity, innovation, and access to capital.

Lara Hodgson, President, and CEO of NOW Corporation joins our host, Ted Jenkin, on this week's episode of the Atlanta Small Business Profile. They discuss the importance of receivables for small businesses, and how they may play a bigger part in the growth of a business than you might think.

Lara Hodgson is the Founder and CEO of NOW Corp. NOW’s mission is to create “A World without AR” for all businesses that sell to other businesses and governments – essentially redefining how businesses get paid. NOWaccount®, enables businesses to get paid immediately and partners with businesses to free-up cash-flow. Lara is a globally recognized business and entrepreneurship leader and joins Justin to discuss growing the business.

We would all like to be an innovative company breaking out of the traditional model. When we think innovation, we think of companies like Apple, Tesla, and SpaceX. Do you have an innovative company that comes to your mind that you wish you could emulate? Are you afraid it comes with big budgets, lots of resources, and time? Well, today’s show is all about how you can become innovative without the big pockets.   Lara Hodgson is the President and CEO of NOW Corp, a company she co-founded to free small businesses from the burden of funding trade credit and to enable small business growth. She also serves as an Entrepreneur in Residence at Harvard Business School.   Lara went to Georgia Institute of Technology where she majored in Aerospace Engineering. Her professor told her she had an engineering mind and a liberal arts personality; She loved problem-solving, but she was very extroverted and loved worked with people at the same time.   Lara applied for a program to go to Japan while she was still in university and she found herself learning Japanese and not speaking a word of English during her time over there. It was difficult and she was completely out of her comfort zone. This is when she discovered that she really didn’t want to be a research engineer anymore. She wanted to be creative.   The good news is, being creative is not about learning how to sing or draw, it’s about being a good problem solver. It’s about looking at the same thing as everyone else and seeing something different.   Fast forward a couple of years, Lara’s career is booming, she’s finding herself working alongside Shaquille O’Neal, Home Depot, Nike, and Coca-Cola, but it was time for her to go off on her own and build her own company. She wanted to be a great wife, mom, and CEO but she wasn’t sure that this was possible if she was working for somebody else.   During this time as a new mom, she kept finding herself having spilled drinks all over her car and there wasn’t really anything out there that was ‘spill-proof’ for babies. So, going back to her problem-solving roots, she co-founded a company called Nourish, a patented line of spill-proof bottled water for kids and ready-to-serve bottles for babies.   Great news! She started out small and suddenly her product was being bought by wholefoods. She was high-fiving her business partner in excitement until they realized … the company is going to have to grow to the point of death, that they’re not actually going to be able to make ends meet, and that this deal would actually put them out of business.   Everything that Lara and her business partner had done right was actually going to be the very thing that would put them out of business. Lara’s greatest strength, her spill-proof product that was selling like crazy, became her greatest weakness. This is when she found herself needing to innovative on a small budget.   Interview Links: Now-Corp.com Lara on LinkedIn   Resources: Scaling Up for Business Growth Workshops: Take the first step to mastering the Rockefeller Habits by attending one of our workshops.
