On today's episode, I'm sitting down with entrepreneur and Outdoor Voices founder, Ty Haney, to unpack her unconventional path from Boulder athlete to building one of the most influential activewear brands of the last decade. Ty shares how her early frustration with performance-only athletic wear sparked the idea for Outdoor Voices, the scrappy early days of community events and recreational movement, and what it was really like scaling the business to $100M as a first-time founder. We dive into the realities of fast growth—from hiring the right people to navigating growing pains—as well as the emotional complexity of leaving the company she built and later returning under new constraints. Ty also opens up about launching TYB, her community-commerce platform now powering loyalty for 250 brands, how she balances running multiple ventures, and the one thing she refuses to compromise on no matter what: excellent product. Insightful, candid, and packed with lessons on community-led growth, founder resilience, and staying immersed in your craft, this conversation is a must-listen for anyone building a brand, leading a team, or redefining what it means to “try your best.” Enjoy!To connect with Tyler Haney on Instagram, click HERE.To check out TyB on Instagram, click HERE.To check out Outdoor Voices, click HERE.To check out Joggy Energy, click HERE.To connect with Siff on Instagram, click HERE.To connect with Siff on Tiktok, click HERE.To learn more about Arrae, click HERE.

Create high-value lead magnets and test regularly for the best conversions. Maintain a consistent lead generation engine with weekly content (podcasts, emails, Instagram, etc.). Optimize your automated email sequences—many evergreen sales happen in the follow-up! Consider strategic use of paid ads (especially if starting out) vs. organic growth. Offer bonuses or limited-time perks to create urgency for evergreen sales. Add live Q&A or touchpoint sessions as value-adds to evergreen programs. Track key data weekly (leads, conversions, email performance, etc.) to guide business decisions. Use soft but clear calls to action in all content; don't hide your offers.

Developing and Launching the First Falcon 9. Eric Berger recounts the difficult summer of 2009 preparing the first Falcon 9 booster, featuring nine Merlin engines housed in an octagonal web. Engineers endured intense 100-hour weeks handling complex wiring and propulsion plumbing. The subsequent road trip from Texas to Florida was arduous, including crashing the rocket's interstage into a building. Despite severe issues, like storm-fried antennas, an impatient Elon Musk pushed for a successful launch in June 2010, securing potential NASA contracts. Guest: Eric Berger.

You get Catalyst Hot Dogs — a Jersey-style hot dog joint taking the DMV by storm! In this episode, host Brien Gearin sits down with founder Chris Van Jura, who shares how he launched during the pandemic with a GoFundMe, a beat-up cart discovered in a church parking lot, and an all-beef hot dog so good, it became the heart of his brand.

Launching a men's Bible study? The first meeting sets the tone—and most guys underestimate how much it matters. In this session, Vince Miller walks you through the exact 5-step format he's used for decades to launch strong, intentional, Christ-centered first meetings that build trust and ignite brotherhood. You'll learn: ✔️ How atmosphere speaks before you ever open your mouth ✔️ Why preparation communicates value and safety ✔️ How to lead prayer and purpose with clarity—not pressure ✔️ The secret to building fast trust through story-sharing ✔️ How to cast vision without selling or hyping ✔️ Why a strong closing prayer seals the moment and sets direction Whether you're meeting in a church classroom, a garage with a space heater, or your living room—this format works anywhere. If you can follow five steps, you can lead a fantastic first meeting. REFLECTION + SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. What's one first impression you've had walking into a room that shaped how you engaged? 2. Which part of prepping the room do you think communicates the most value to men? 3. How does starting with a short, intentional prayer shape the tone of a meeting? 4. Why do men need to hear a clear "why" before they engage the "what"? 5. When have you seen vulnerability build trust in a group? 6. Which type of men are hardest for you to lead—talkers or quiet guys? Why? 7. How can you guide story-sharing without making it feel forced or clinical? 8. What vision do you feel called to cast for the men you're leading? 9. Why is a closing prayer powerful, even when it's short? 10. What step from this format do you need to grow most in before leading your next meeting?

How To Pay the Bills While Launching a Startup Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Launching a startup is hard work. It takes time to build up the revenue to pay a living wage to the founders. So how does a founder pay the bills while launching a startup? Here's one solution: Provide consulting and training services in the domain of the startup you are building. For example, if the startup is building a software application in the HR space, start by providing training and consulting on HR software. Here are the benefits: It fosters contacts and networking with those in the target market. It engages the founder with the current products. It provides hands-on interaction with customers. It highlights the challenges customers face in their work. It shows how the current solutions are positioned in the market and what price they charge. It shows how the current companies in the market make money. It's okay to have a day job while launching a startup. It's even better to have one that helps educate and inform about the startup's target market. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let's go startup something today. _______________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: http://investorconnect.org Check out our other podcasts here: https://investorconnect.org/ For Investors check out: https://tencapital.group/investor-landing/ For Startups check out: https://tencapital.group/company-landing/ For eGuides check out: https://tencapital.group/education/ For upcoming Events, check out https://tencapital.group/events/ For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group Please follow, share, and leave a review.

How to unlock the power of groups through collective communication.They say teamwork makes the dream work. But as Colin Fisher knows, unlocking the power of groups requires a specific kind of collective communication.Fisher is an associate professor of organizations and innovation at University College London School of Management and author of The Collective Edge: Unlocking the Secret Power of Groups. His research reveals the dichotomy of group dynamics: "Groups can be the pinnacle of human accomplishment," he says. "But groups also have these tendencies to restrict us, to take away our individuality, and to sometimes make us the worst versions of ourselves.” The key, he argues, is fostering communication that maximizes the creative synergy of collaboration while minimizing the pressure to conform.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Fisher joins host Matt Abrahams to share evidence-based strategies for effective teamwork, from selecting the ideal group size to fostering psychological safety. Whether with our coworkers, our families, or our friends, Fisher's insights reveal how collective communication can make or break group success.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Colin FisherColin's Book: The Collective EdgeEp.174 Fix Meetings: Transform Gatherings Into Meaningful MomentsEp.124 Making Meetings Meaningful Pt. 1: How to Structure and Organize More Effective Gatherings Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:19) - Advantages and Disadvantages of Groups (03:53) - What Makes Teams Successful (05:37) - The Ideal Group Size (06:33) - Building Psychological Safety (08:49) - Launching a Team for Success (13:10) - Making Meetings More Effective (16:25) - The Final Three Questions (23:13) - Conclusion ********This episode is sponsored by Grammarly.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Lee Rudin discuss:Aligning business with purposePreparing financially before independenceMarketing actively and creativelyLeveraging systems, technology, and people Key Takeaways:Building a law practice around shared success creates deeper fulfillment and stronger client relationships. Choosing work that serves others transforms daily effort into long-term motivation and genuine impact. Purpose becomes the foundation that sustains growth beyond profit or recognition.Launching a firm requires a clear understanding of cash flow, expenses, and delayed revenue cycles. Planning for at least 120 days without income establishes realistic expectations and stability. Financial awareness and discipline ensure resilience during the early, uncertain stages of growth.Obscurity, not competition, remains the greatest risk in professional services. Consistent visibility through digital campaigns, community engagement, and creative branding drives trust. Distinct messaging turns curiosity into recognition and recognition into opportunity.Efficiency grows when repetitive tasks are automated and skilled support is used effectively. Strategic use of offshore staff and fair compensation creates scalable, sustainable operations. Generosity, structure, and smart tools combine to amplify performance without excess cost.
